If you just wanna shoot some people and have fun then buy Battlefield 3/4 or CoD AW or BO2 or MW3.

If you are serious about the game and have the dedication to learn, buy CSGO.

Insurgency is a hardcore shooter and can get a bit frustrating but it's a thrilling experience.

I have played insurgency and yeah it is fun as hell.
But pretty much realistic where one bullet and you are dead .
My vote goes to
BG4/ insurgency
P.S. - insurgency is on sale @ steam . you may want to give a try .

thanks for the reply guys
Insurgency looks so awesome but i was looking for a retail version
what about bf3?
that seems nice
but is the multiplayer still quite active?

I read a few posts on Google it said many of the servers are dead. I was hoping to spend quite some time with the game!

We used to play Insurgency a lot....like a hell lot. Played it for like 6-7 months before leaving it and moving on to other shooters.

Then I'll hope to see you around next month. Maybe the TDF guys will accept me :p

I'll buy bf3
Thanks for your help guys!

My hostel Internet would suffice?( Lan port in each room)
It gives 60-70kbps downloading speed and YouTube videos(360p) play in real time.
I don't exactly know about the ping

i hope you havent already bought any of the above games...

check your ping to popular online servers. you do not want to sit with a game without any online servers.

- - - Updated - - -

and yes. when we play Insurgency, we use our own server which [MENTION=22661]ManiDhillon[/MENTION] hosts.

and we have a BF4 server too :)

ill make sure to do that first
but i tried playing cs 1.6 recently and it worked fine
anyhow, ill confirm before buying
thanks for the suggestion!

btw how much should be the ping? (max limit for good play)

and what about a bf3 server? :p

That depends actually. I have seen people complaining any ping above 100ms but for me anything below 200ms is just fine. Most of the Indian gamers would agree with me, thanks to the habit. :D

bottomline is, ~150 ms, and there wont be ANY issue.

however, anything above that, people, and more importantly servers will start complaining. when servers start complaining, you get kicked due to high pings ;)

Yes. we play on these mostly.

the first one is our own platoon server, ie D3W server. ;)

we play bf4 more regularly than bf3.

also, bf3 servers are sparse nowadays. only a few in singapore.
