Here is a link to the actual mods site, with them explaining what they made: http://www.insmod.net/?page=themod
I'm sure somebody will have an awesome summary for you if you don't feel like reading that.
Actually...Here is a good explanation from that link:
Welcome to 21st Century Warfare
Insurgency (INS) is a total conversion based on Valve Software's Source Engine. Insurgency immerses you into an intense multiplayer combat experience.
Set on the modern battlefields, Insurgency simulates modern infantry combat that doesn’t just encourage the use of teamwork and tactics, but makes it a requirement of survival. The current Operational Theatre lets you go head to head with guerrillas, insurgents and resistance fighters in Iraq and Afghanistan; placing you in the center of current conflicts like no other first-person-shooter. Immersive suppresion fire and damage effects, 1-shot-1 kill dynamics, and accurate weaponry ensure a pace and a dramatic tension that few other games can match.
Engage in urban warfare where every window, doorway or road block is a potential ambush point and every object on the street needs to be watched with care. Large outdoor maps with several different routes offer tactical challenges. In INS, teamwork means victory. Whatever you choose to do, Insurgency: Modern Infantry Combat is sure to get your pulse racing and make your breathing feel heavy while you engage in such a unique and original combat experience. Insurgency has it's own pace, it's own rules, and it's own kind of player. If you think you've got what it takes, jump in!

Since you're in CS:S I will explain it in contrast to that game (seriously, without making fun).
CS:S - you have a crosshair
INS - you do not have a pretend crosshair. You use mouse2 to bring up iron sights
CS:S - you buy your equipment
INS - you choose one of the slots available, some of which have a choice of 2 types of guns, others are set
CS:S - you plant the bomb or rescue the hostages
INS - you capture objectives, or kill the enemy until they run out of reinforcements (or time runs out)
CS:S - when you die you wait for the round to end
INS - when you die you wait to respawn (unless your side is out of waves). INS rounds are much longer than CS:S rounds.
CS:S - you can take a lot of hits to the body
INS - you get shot, you probably die
CS:S - you can crouch (and run?)
INS - you can crouch, go prone (crawl), and lean left and right, and run
CS:S - small maps
INS - some maps are quite big
CS:S - ...
INS - teamwork and communication is very important
CS:S - has a radar that shows the enemy if your teammates can see them
INS - has a map that kind of shows where your team is
That's all I can think of right now.

Ouch. It's very true, though. When I'm actually in town with my girlfriend I pretty much never play.
I will say, though, you get good at this game through teamwork and cooperation. It's incredibly easy to kill and be killed, but if you want to accomplish anything you need to get your act together and communicate. I'm not all that great at all that aiming business but I can get stuff done on the battlefield because I'm smart enough to keep my team out of trouble.
Also, I know the first server you're going to play is Dust2 and as much fun as it can be it does NOT play like INS.
