    Insurgency was great, but I never got into Sandstorm and just stopped playing Insurgency at that point. I think they were expecting to go big with the sequel, but it was always going to be a niche game.

      Sandstorm launched in a rough state but some mods made it interesting.

      Yeah, they were pushing for a wider public with things like cosmetics that would be more in place in Rainbow Six Siege than a grittier tactical shooter (it did not go well with the community). I’ve mostly fallen off this game after having played some form of it since the Half-Life mod days. I’ve only played one game a couple of weeks ago because a friend had his heavily modded server back up like the good old times but I’ve barely played it at all this year.
