No. Fileplanet have exclusivity for the first block of time. Don't worry, I'll upload to somewhere THNers can get it.

I hate fileplanet, they always give me download servers in the US!

I will get it some time this week, I have to clean some crap off my harddrive before I can get this :(.

Just to be clear, there's no possible way that I'll have this uploaded until tomorrow. I'll leave it uploading overnight and hopefully it'll be ready before Rojaws turns my machine off in the morning.

I'm currently uploading the Beta 1 client. It's going to take a good four and a half hours to upload, though. If/when it succeeds, it should be available at:

Alternative Link added by haven

http://www.ronin.org.uk/downloads/Insurgency_Beta1_Client.exe

... but I'd wait for confirmation that it has uploaded before trying to download just in case you get a partial download.

Final file size is 662MB. ETA around 06:00 UK time.

Please do not spread that address around outside THN!

Upload complete. Could someone grab it and install it and confirm it hasn't been corrupted, please?

I would, but it's gonna take me 3 hours to download at 100% bandwidth. As such, I'm not going get it now, but will grab it tonight, if that's ok? :)

Got this downloaded (twice, damn you fileplanet and your corrupted downloads,) and installed last night, but having to sleep got in the way of actually trying it... Hopefully get a chance to give it a try today.

Right, I eagerly await my return so I can try this. What's the verict? Worth the hype and will it last?

I have a longer post brewing in the back of my mind, but the short version is that I like it. Sure, there's bugs but less than I was anticipating in a first public release; a few crashes, some oddities loading resources, weird nade-stuck-in-hand bugs, but largely playable and enjoyable.

Plays well with smaller numbers of players, I find. In fact, 8v8 might even be an optimal number of players for many games with less stacking in doorways and so on.

The game punishes mistakes with swift, brutal death (unless your opponent also screwed up at the same time), but that's no different to the days of Red Orchestra when that was free; you spend the first hour dying and wondering what you did wrong but when you get over that you find you just weren't playing the game the way it was supposed to be played.

I've enjoyed both sessions I've played and I'm looking forward to more. :)

I'm getting a problem where it won't go past Sending client info, don't know if it's just my router playing up or the game but I probably can't play until I find the cause.
