nice to see it getting so much support, cause this is a massive upgrade for a mod.
- Insurgency Beta 3 will be be powered by the Orange Box Engine by Valve. As long as your SDK Base is updated, you will NOT need to buy the Orange Box.
- It will feature a new theatre of war: Kosovo.
- The sides fighting for Kosovo will be the British Army and a fictional paramilitary group, the Serbian Liberation Army.
- This new content will be seamlessly integrated with the rest of the mod.
- The existing Insurgency content will be ported to the new engine and upgraded to make use of the features of the Orange Box engine.
- While Beta 3 is being developed, the current branch of Insurgency will be supported: patches and updates will be released on a regular basis. 2.1 will receive map updates and additional content whenever possible, as long as it's compatible with the current engine and code.
- The current game modes will be streamlined and redesigned to provide a much more satisfying, immersive and enjoyable experience. Game modes and updated maps will be extensively tested before release.
- The current fireteams / squads / classes system will be revamped with the objective of being much more intuitive and easy to understand.
- Morale will play a key role in the new version. Players will gain morale with good teamplay, skill, and support actions.
- A "Tier" System will be introduced. This system will be tied in with your morale standing - giving you access to higher Tiers in weapons and accessories. The tier you have reached will disappear after you stop playing in that server. Good players will be able to reach the highest Tier after a few rounds. This will not be a persistent rank system.
- Gameplay will be clear and instantly accesible for everyone.
- The graphical interface of Insurgency will be completely redesigned. It will be much easier to navigate, choose your class, choose your allegiance, and customize your player's appearance and loadout. This is a requisite for building upon the customization options that we're implementing..
- New customization options will include different choices for the player's appearance, choices of primary weapons, and choices of secondary weapons.
- RPG's, C4, IEDs will be picked up from the map, and any player will be able to make use of them during the battle.
- Several new maps will be included, not only for the Kosovo theatre, but also for the existing Middle East theatre.
- New additions to the weapons will be included: M16 With Aimpoint, 1911 Pistol, UZI Sub Machine Gun, M240 Heavy Machine Gun, PKM Heavy Machine Gun, as well as other weapons for the British and Serbian teams. The details of their specific weaponry will come at a later time.
