Here is some info from their site:

About Insurgency...
Insurgency (INS) is a total conversion mod for Valve Software's Half-Life 2, powered by the Source Engine. INS immerses the player in an intense online combat experience. Set on the modern battlefields, Insurgency simulates infantry combat that encourages the use of teamwork and tactics to close with and destroy the enemy.

Basic Features...
Free total conversion, only Half-Life 2 and Steam required

Chain of command:
Commanders assign objectives and give waypoints

Morale:
Morale scoring system to set high value on teamplay

Customizable gameplay:
"Insurgency map configuration" system for server-side map customization

Reinforcement waves:
Unique reinforcement wave system

Depth of realism:
Iron sights, free aim, ricochet, bullet penetration, weapon weights, and more

No bullsh*t hud:
Only see what's important, when it's important

Weapon caches:
Used for rearming on the battlefield, destroyable by the other team

Global stats:
A simple forum signup keeps track of your stats forever

Network:
A comprehensive "ins.network" will cover all your insurgency needs

The mod team is led by the guy who originally led the Red Orchestra team and is set in Iraq after the fall of Saddam when insurgents decided to spring up. An ex canadian soldier set up the mod after finding that most wargames didn't give the right sense of what modern combat is really all about.

EDIT: Have played it and it is freaking lush visually and for game play, needs a little tweaking in terms of making class selection more intuitive and perhaps improving crouch but it is AMAZING.
Screenies for those in doubt:

That does look pretty awesome for a mod, I like the more realistic sniper scope. I'll probably get it sometime, but it might take a while, you know how slow my internets is. And don't expect me to play as the yanks.

I might get it, but I'll be away for this month, so don't expect me to play much.

I will probably get this as it looks good!

This game is definitely one of the better mods, with a huge player base. A patch was recently released and I think it fixes most of the annoying buys, especially the server crashes.
