Insurgency Mod ... EPIC THREAD OF DOOM

Yeah, I definitely love voice comms in INS.
"Sand ****** down!"
"LOL, ******"
"****ing jews, I hate jews, allah ahkbar"
12 year olds should never be armed with a mic.

Ahem. Dead? Dead did you say? Well, to you, good sir, I say see you on release day.
Does 2008 release mean anything to you? I'm a lead beta tester for RnL. Trust me.
More often than not, these are the so-called cultivated adults, some of which are currently attaining a higher education at university and college.
I always disable mic, and I advise anyone playing on-line to do the same unless if you are involved in a serious, coordinated clan match of some sort.
I'm not saying it does not happen, but none of the above has happened to me (yet). I have however heard similar comments (several times recently) while playing RO on a public server. There is another thread already dedicated to that topic 'tho.
No offence! Your word in gods ear!
I really hope you are right, but i also hope it will be not such a letdown like INS.
No question ins looks nice and has really good looking weapon models but something doesen
And miss out chatting with your mates about anything but the game, spamming audio samples and hearing those high pitched kids-wanna-be-cool voices? Thats the good part!
But seriously though, even in non coordinated clan matches, i use the mic in pubs just as easy to plan attacks and whatnot. Imo voip is an addition and shouldn't be disabled. Just mute pesky people.
*edit*
Oh and let Insurgency die already. My god, what a waste of graphics, sound, concept, time.

Really looking forward for RnL but afaik this release approach is new and maybe a result of the INS-letdown.
I think "demo" releases are a mistake personally- mods have the misconception thinking they can get buggy and limited content out quick and then keep adding. Problem with that is that like episodic content, sometimes, patches never happen and as a result, the released game is left in a very early and nearly unplayable state.
Just my two cents.

Aye I agree. INS is still a mess. Still has loads of bugs (constant crashes) and a significant amount of realism was thrown out the door (CS-type damage system and cones of fire). Plus I really felt burned by the blood thirsty community (beta testers and mods) and the fact that the first bunch of releases were hyped to death and delayed (with first dl's available on file planet of all sites). They should of taken cue from the FH2 team on how to properly launch a mod. So on that note I have no clue as to why it is MOTY (shoulda gone to FH2). Oh well.
You can't deny the quality of the visuals apart from a few rough edges that aren't really worth mentioning when the rest looks so good. And that's why it won. Most people don't give a damn about realism and if there are iron-sights and high damage levels most people who do care consider it realistic. Not everyone is an experienced wargamer.
Sure, there are bugs. But bugs and modding go hand in hand and it is still a beta regardless of how long it took to produce, right?
I would have liked "The New Shadow: The Forth Age" to get into some top five and it would have been great if "WesternQuake 3" would have already gone stand-alone (=> Smoking Guns) and would have won a place among the top five in the indie game category. Unfortunately it didn't happen.

I started playing INS the last few days and imo it's really fun, it has good atmosphere and I really like the feel of the weapons. Would be sooo great if there were other scenarios like jugoslawia etc.
I tried it yesterday:
Hipshooting is too easy because there is little recoil and almost every weapon you would want to hipshoot is automatic. I guess that's a problem of the setting but it made me like RO's exaggerated recoil effects again (even when using automatic weapons myself).
The throwing of grenades looks about as awkward as a panda on a go-cart (could someone post that pic please). The grenades seem to fly out of the ellboy of the person throwing them.
I love how you can look over the centered MG if you us a bi-pod and I also like how long you can shoot with that thing without having to reload.
Jumping off buildings is too lax. I jumped off that building in Bagdad near the spawn of the soldiers four times before it finally killed me. Now, RO might be a bit too harsh at times, but I like standing on top of a one story building, knowing that I can't jump down without becoming combat ineffective and having to search for a stair down or something to jump on. In INS you can almost hop around like in Call of Duty 2, just less often.
What's this "no bullsh!t" hud supposed to mean? When I played I had all kinds of bull**** on my hud. Like a white line that looked like part of a hud in a space sim and there were all kinds of colored arrows floating around. When sprinting without strafing I felt like playing a Mech-sim, lol. Maybe that hud can be disabled entirely. I'll have to take another look.
Apart from bugs it's a really good game. Worth checking out if you are into semi-realistic games. especially if you bring your own friends to play it.
