To recap - Insurgency (INS) is a total conversion mod using the Source engine, immersing gamers in an intense combat experience based on past, present and fictional battlefields. Players are encouraged to destroy the enemy through the clever use of teamwork and tactics, rather than brute force.
The changelog is sizeable, so we've just got an excerpt for you here - to learn more, go directly to the file page.
The devs have frantically been working on this release in order to get it out before Thanksgiving, so show them some respect and check it out, now!

Cooperation between classes will be basic to provide covering fire and smoke curtains, etc.
