Insurgency, the acclaimed, semi-realistic modern military mod forHalf-Life 2, came at a time whenMedal of HonorandCall of Dutywere still set in World War II. Today, the creators of the popular mod formed aKickstarter for a sequel. Though modern military shooters are far from scarce in 2012, the developer hasplansto make it standout from other shooters on the marketplace.
The developer says the game will closely resembles the early days of the mod and is influenced byRainbow Six: Rogue SpearandDay of Defeat. These are two of my favorite games as well, but I don’t really see the similarity in the above video. What I see is another fast-paced tactical, class-based shooter set in the Middle East. Then again, I don’t have a fondness for the originalInsurgencythat others might possess.
The game is being developed by much of the original core team, many of which have been picked up by Gearbox, Crytek, Blizzard, and other major studios. If you are looking for a more realistic shooter or are a fan of the original, you’re able to help expand and expedite the project by contributing to the game’s Kickstarter page. The developer is asking for $180, 000 but has stretch goals going as high as $800,000.
