Pros
Pro Slow and measured gunplay creates a more realistic atmosphere
In an effort to be more realistic, the gunplay is slow and measured. This makes for an immersive experience, both because of how real it feels and because of how different it is from other FPS games.
Pro Mature community means more people can experience enjoyable communications and interactions while online
Insurgency's player community is more mature and respectful than what is commonly expected in online shooters, making communicating both on forums and in the game more enjoyable.
Pro Easily play against friends, no matter the OS they use
The game works on Windows, macO and Linux, which means anyone can play the game against someone with one of these different operating systems.
Pro Easy VoIP support, as it is built in
Insurgency has Steam integration that allows for easy VoIP communication.
Pro Gameplay stays balanced thanks to no allowed class repetition on each team
The game doesn’t allow multiple people on the same team to have the same character class. This helps ensure the game remains balanced as no two players can have the same roll.
Cons
Con Steep learning curve at first
Even with experience in other FPS games, you will need to have solid knowledge of the maps and the tactical approach before you start to really enjoy yourself. The maps are very complex, which can cause this process to take a few hours.
Con Requires a good team
To really succeed, you need to communicate effectively in order to set up a winning strategy. This is much easier for groups of people that are familiar with one another as opposed to random people playing together.
