Insurgenncy Game Analysis

Improved Essays
Overview:
Insurgency is a tactical team based shooter with well designed mechanics and gunplay. This game requires somewhat of a leap of faith when going into it. It's not one of those games (like Call of Duty) where you can just go into it and automatically be good. The learning curve is huge in the sense that there isn't a proper ranking system at the moment so you will be placed against people that are much better than you. I encourage you not to quit playing after 5-10 games and say you hate it because you suck, because everyone was there at some point or another. We all had to start somewhere.

Movement and Combat:
Insurgency is a very slow paced but also fast paced game. There will be times when you have to wait and watch a corner for a minute to a minute and a half just to get that one kill that can save your team. A word of advice I have for new players is not to run all the time. For example, when playing, treat every corner as if there is going to be an enemy team member waiting for you to peak your head out and blast it off. Approach every situation with a tactical mindset and allow yourself to learn the basis of the game as you go. The overall gunplay and combat in the game revolves around waiting, aiming, and timing your shots accordingly. There will be times on close quarter maps such as Ministry when

Although the graphics are nothing special, don't expect a 10/10 IGN.com for that, but the gameplay, maps, and variety of guns and attachments are really what make this game shine. Please don't stop playing after 5-10 games! I feel that this game is definitely worth it for the money and I strongly recommend you pick it up and give it a shot. Although, if your not too keen on buying it for this price, although it's a very reasonable price for a game like this; Insurgency almost allways drops to around $3 CAD during Steam

    The designer that I have chosen is Hidetaka Miyazaki. Miyazaki is a Japanese video game designer most known for his Souls series, which includes: Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls, Dark Souls II, Bloodborne, and Dark Souls III. He grew up in a small town called Shizouka, which is around 100 miles from Tokyo. He is notorious for his refusal to talk about his personal life, instead focusing on his projects or team. What we do know, however, is that growing up, Miyazaki was very poor, and his parents couldn’t afford much, so he had to borrow any reading materials he could get his hands on, either from others or the library.…

    So yes to be short I was dedicated to that game for a time of about two weeks or so and I didn't get bored, and I must underline here that I'm not the kind of person that plays 8 hours per day any more. Another very nice (driving game this time) that I had the chance to play and like is Need for Speed Shift 2. If you like driving, cars, expensive racing machines, customizing and tuning them this is the game for you. It has many machines of performance and you get to make money racing with your personal profile, buy the car of your choice each time and race it on races you will need all your talent and patience, because they created this game with the most realistic standards, I can also recall that on a video review heard that it's the most realistic driving game so far, so I think it's worth trying, especially if you are an owner of a driving wheel I believe you will not regret this.…

    Over the last 1.5 years, the 4th Armored Brigade Combat Team (ABCT) has undergone significant change. Following a nine month deployment to Afghanistan, the Brigade appears to be overcome by stress, fatigue, leadership, and ethics issues. While many might categorize these as normal post deployment occurrences, they appear to run much deeper. The events of the previous deployment coupled with the death of the Brigade Commander, Brigade Sergeant Major and a Battalion Commander appear to be the critical events that triggered the downward slide of the Brigade.…

    The games between the authority and drivers are usually Stackelberg games. Fisk (1984) modelled the interactions of drivers’ groups and the optimisation of signal control (authority). The authority makes a first move in this case, i.e. to minimise the network total travel time, and the followers (drivers) move sequentially by reducing their travel time. The authority can control the travel time for the whole network by responding advance in an optimal way to the drivers’ selfishness. In this study, the game theory concepts are incorporated into the system optimal (for authority) and user equilibrium (drivers).…
