Insurgency and eGO Part 2.

[bottleoftheFUNK]

Well nearly two weeks of playing this game and it is becoming addictive, the game play and physics of the game rival actual combat simulators that my cousin used while training in Advanced SWAT programs in federal law enforcement, as he put it. This plus Edge Gamers application of community leadership and knowledge of what the players of the world expect from a person hosting these games, has lead to the continuation of a well oil machine and a sweet serving of the Edge Gamers Organization's server experience.

I’m not a critic, but I will present more of what I consider makes this game awesome. The damage in the game is based on what is to be expected in the real world. For instance the .223 caliber; 5.56 NATO, round cause immense tissue damage within the human body due to the fact that it has a tendency to tumble over expanding the size of the wound and causing more of an injury to say a 9mm round. Thus 1-2 shots of this within the mid to upper body of a person would lead to lethal damage and ultimately death. The .308 round used by the M1A Sniper Rifle in the game; or 7.62x50mm, causes massive damage from the sheer impact of the larger caliber bullet hitting the human at velocity. In some tests the round; when propelled into an object similar in composition to the human body, will literally explode, due to all the kinetic energy of the projectile coming to a sudden stop within the tissue of the body. So you are pretty much done if you get hit with a sniper round. The trauma of an impact from a rifle round is well calibrated within the game to help give the player a sense of what war is like and to provide the combat veteran a chance for some payback from the comfort of their home.

The catalyst for all this is the people behind the Insurgency Division and Administration of Edge Gamers Organization, who help to keep the servers running smooth and without interruption.

cant wait for the new 6.8mm round to start being widely used

Y'all should check out the DPMS SASS Rifle .308, was developed for the army sniper trials to repalce their bolt action models. SASS stands for Semi Auto Sniper System.

I noticed they lack a milspec SMG in the mod. I think an MP5N would suffice for the US forces. Maybe a Russian PP-19-01 Vityaz SMG for the Iraqi forces. Both are 9x19mm, so they'd balance each other out.

 

[bottleoftheFUNK]

yah man that's true, but the SMGs are for more close combact situations, SWAT and Counter Terrorist Teams utilize SMGs for their high rate of fire and compact size

True, but I have to ask...Have you ever seen an MP5 or used one during your time in the Marine Corps? Cuz I certainly havent. So that being said, Im all about not having one for the sake of keeping it realistic...ish lol.

 

[Jedihitman]

I'm with Ikesik on the realism but I just wish the Marine Rifleman had an automatic weapon that they could choose instead of the M16. It's always had me wondering who's bright idea was it to make the M16A4 only capable of a 3 round burst instead of having full auto like the old ones.

Also on the realism though, they need to make it so that you're not pulling the freaking bolt back every time you draw the M4 or M16, that always really bugs me because talk about a waste of ammo.

Lol..off topic bit of trivia:

The M16A2 and later the A4 were designed with 3 round burst to prevent Marines from spraying blindly and using massive amounts of ammunition as was seen in Vietnam. These days Marines rarely if ever use the burst mode on their weapons as it is very hard to control unless you have a LOT of practice using it, and it kinda goes against our philosophy of one shot one kill Thats what we have the saw for. Dont get me wrong though...I like wailing away full auto as much as the next guy

 

[Khosrowshah]

nicely said about the game. INS all the way!

 

[bottleoftheFUNK]

They ust to be automatic but were converted to semi auto and burst configurations in order to save on ammunition, my DPMS Panther AR-15 is full semi-auto, the cost of 5.56NATO rounds; or .223, is around $25 for 50 rounds of Remington brand.

 

[Jedihitman]

Yeah, I know what happened, they were automatic and stopped making them that way but since when was the US military really concerned about costs. Oh, well it's what it is, just got to use what you got. It just makes me nervous whenever I'm walking around inside with the M16

 

[TeChN9nE]

either start reloading your own ammunition or buy wolf brand Russian surplus .223 , way cheaper

 

[bottleoftheFUNK]

Wolf perfomance ammunition is not that expensive, 7.62X39mm rounds for around 6 bucks for 20 shots, i haven't seen the wolf .223 line yet

 

[TeChN9nE]

I have WASR-10 (AK-47 Romanian) it uses 7.62x39 , around where I live from the shops its like 8.50 for a box of 20

The Century Arms WASR 10 GP Tactical AK-47 with foldable stock is a much better platform, you can add a rail systen to the hand guard and the top of the gun to place sights, lights, laser systems, and scopes. It utilizes the 7.62X39mm(.308) round as do 90 percent of all AK-47's ever produced, the other 7.62 round is the sniper round that is 7.62X52mm. I personally prefer the .223 round to any other it's small size and accuracy, coupled with it's muzzle velocity makes it lethal and worth every penny. The AK's caliber is the cheapest and most used among all assult rifles. As well i also prefer the AR-15 to the WASR AK-47.

 

[TeChN9nE]

though the .223 does massive internal damage because of its dynamics it doesnt transfer any kinetic energy to the target , I prefer to knock someone down so he cant pull the trigger again after he's been hit. Thats why in my 9mm I use 235 grain hallow points

 

[bottleoftheFUNK]

Well i understand your position, but id rather put them down a considerable distance away from me. Thus the Remington 700 SPS Tactical .223 with a Barska SWAT Tatical 6-24X60 30mm Scope, including a Harris Ultralight BR 1A2 Series Bipod, will be more ideal for an accurate and quick kill. As for your close combat with the 9mm hollow points, i would recommend moving to a .45 ACP hollow point round, the design of the bullet coupled with the hollow point feature; as well as the higher caliber, will put anyone down right away and is also used widely by federal law enforcement. The saying of wouldn't want to be starring down the barrel of a .44 Magnum, aha i wouldn't want to me starring down the barrel of a .45 ACP hollow point round.
