Has any one played the Insurgency Sandstorm console beta?

I received an invite to the closed beta by joining their Discord and providing an email address and console.
The beta has been going pretty strong with a regular player base for a few weeks now. This game is not quite as pretty as others, although in beta state that may be due to lack of polish. However, it's a hard core military sim and bullets are pretty lethal. There is no aim assist that I can tell--not like in other games. So it's very challenging.
If you want a pretty enjoyable change of pace, it allows you to play locally with all maps and weapons available, or you can play co-op with friends against computer AI or in player vs. player.
It appears as though the final game on console will receive mod support, so hopefully this means ISMC content for us consolers.

I wish this game had a better player base on PC. The gun play is so good.

Getting a kill is so rewarding. I mean it's probably the most difficult FPS game I've played ever. And by difficult I mean it's slow, plodding, and there is really no room for error. I love it.
I really wish there were more gun variation, though. More along the lines of the ISMC mod...those videos look glorious.

This game has been as low as $14.99 on Steam recently.

He's talking about the console release

I know. Those prices are insane.
Is the PC version still terribly optimized? Has any pass content even been released on PC? Sounds like the PC version has been an Early Access game without the Early Access tag to me.

I don't know about the PC game. What's exciting about Insurgency Sandstorm is that it's the first real hardcore military FPS simulation to hit consoles, unless you count Rainbow Six Siege (but that has turned into a monumental pile of shite lately).
I love the console beta...I'm pumped to see where they can take this game. It's a bit rough looking in some areas on Xbox Series X, but maybe that's just the state of the build. The game plays well, it's very challenging and unforgiving, and pretty rewarding.
Underrated feature--you have to press LB on your controller to talk in your mic. Very much a breath of fresh air to limit douchebags.

Coming to console at the end of September. Wish it was beginning of September. Need a new shooter.

Unfortunately due to the high skill entry and real-sim like mechanics, the game is going to be dead real quick

I agree. I've been playing battlefront 2 and now splitgate to scratch the itch but they are best when part of a rotation

Is the closed beta still live? I've wondered if I pre order if you get access to it.

Y’all ready for this?
I preordered last night.

I watched some footage this morning from New Zealand region folks and it looks fun. So for $40, it is worth a shot.

Played for a few hours last night.
My one complaint is that the controller deadzones need to go lower.
It’s refreshing to play a game with roles and without excessive bunny hopping or slide canceling.
