You may not always get to play as your favored class, though, because most roles have a limit on how many people are allowed to play them at a time. Playing as the Marksman, is a first-come, first-served endeavor. However, I was never particularly disappointed at the prospect of being forced into the plain-old Rifleman role, as that basic class offers fantastic versatility and has no problem competing with more specialized archetypes.

As mentioned before, the maps of Insurgency: Sandstorm go a long way in capturing its essence and feel. Combat maps are large, sprawling affairs with an insane number of windows, doors, buildings and makeshift cover points from which a spritely combatant can end you. There’s a strong emphasis on verticality and multiple routes to any section, meaning flanking is both easily completed for your squad, and easily suffered from the enemy’s.Though the comparisons to Call of Duty is inevitable, Insurgency: Sandstorm distinguishes itself in a number of ways. Firstly, it doesn’t have the Michael Bay-esque cinematic, fast paced, high octane single player campaign you’d associate with Call of Duty. What you get here is a much more grounded, tactical and immersive military simulation. Sandstorm is purely a multiplayer experience, designed for local and online co-op. It is brutal, with numerous nuances and subtle mechanics that add to the realism. Getting to grips with these mechanics are crucial to your success, and playing this like a Call of Duty, or even a Battlefield, title will result in your soldier looking like a piece of Swiss cheese. The game does feel slightly dated graphically. It doesn’t look bad, not by a long shot, but it is not quite up there with the latest PS4 releases. Complimenting the superbly immersive combat of Insurgency: Sandstorm is how the guns feel. From the blunt force trauma and rumbling thunder of the M870 shotgun to the snappy pop of the M16A4 and the thrumming rattle of MP7, every firearm in Insurgency: Sandstorm feels, sounds and looks the part in a such a way that it only serves to enrich that feeling of authenticity even further. Fixed an issue where the spent grenade model could appear on the “M1 Garand” when switching to the standard firing mode Fixed an issue where the if a player unequipped all weapons but the knife before round start, they may spawn with no weapons.
