Insurgency - Review

I snipe. It's what I do.

Title:
Insurgency

Platform:
PC

Who:
You the special operations soldier. First-person.

What: 
Tactical player-versus-player and player-versus-bots combat.

When:
Released 2014.

Where:
Various middle-eastern looking cities. Maps are limited by restricted zones and invisible walls, but otherwise large maps provide for interesting bottle-necks and long-range encounters.

Why:
Battlefield 4 is expensive, and doesn't have bots.

Significance:
Only a few first-person shooter games in the counter-terrorism category allow for cooperative combat against a common enemy.

Pros:
Fantastically challenging A.I. Intricate maps and nice visuals. A good use of weapon sounds. One shot kills.

Cons: 
A.I. gets to cheat by seeing through smoke, fire, bushes, pitch-black darkness, and dead bodies. An appalling lack of weapon choices. Game design choices around respawn time, loadout limits, and map boundaries is disappointing.
