Insurgency Sandstorm has received a chunky new update in Operation: Overrun, and it is available right now to play!

I have enjoyed my time in Sandstorm more than I expected, and New World Interactive have put a lot of love into this 1.18 patch. The patch notes include a new expansive Forest map to compete in, two new light machine guns in the M250 and the H21, and the First Blood game mode that only permits players to use light weapons. Expect a lot of frantic action!
