Heute in der Früh war es soweit. Die Steam-Server wurden mit der neuen
Insurgency-Version 2.5 Beta ausgestattet, die ab jetzt für alle Besitzer der Total Conversion automatisch heruntergeladen wird. Der Patch ist laut Entwickler der größte seiner Art seit dem Wechsel auf Steam. Der Changelog umfasst visuelle, auditive und Code-seitige Veränderungen.
Soldier und Battle Report geben nun Aufschluss über die Spielerstatistik
Die nennenswertesten Änderungen sind mit Sicherheit das neue Berechnungsverfahren für Punkte und Moralwerte sowie das "Spawn Protection System", welches Server-Admins besonders viele Einstellungsmöglichkeiten offen hält. Dass Insurgency auch mit diesem Patch nicht auf die Orange Box Engine umsattelt, lässt sich gut verschmerzen, denn im Gegenzug gibt bessere Texturen und eine noch größere Vielfalt bei der Charakter-Wahl. Nicht zu vernachlässigen sind die optimierten Sounds, welche der Atmosphäre nochmal ordentlich zu Gute kommen.
