The open beta has every map, weapon and game mode (including co-op & PvP) that the full release will have. However, competitive matchmaking will only become available when the game launches next week.

Insurgency: Sandstorm takes place in the fictional country of “Definitely Not Afghanistan Or Iraq” and it has in-depth character & weapon customization. Along with realistic regular firearms, players can use vehicles with mounted guns, radio for airstrikes, and even use drones.

Also, the game can be purchased with a 10 percent discount if it’s pre-ordered and if you own the first Insurgency game then a 10 percent “loyalty discount” will be added to your purchase. This loyalty discount offer will be available until the end of March 2019.
