All files needed to run mp_obs299d 'work in progress' are in the mp_obs299d_wip_allserverfiles.rar on the downloads page. The download includes the new configs and all files needed to run an obscurity299d server. (It is not complete to the point of an official release, but we thought it was due time a downloadable update was released for you all)

Generalised Change Summary

• Obscurity winning Elimination stay as Obscurity
• Brightened night lighting
• Blackened sky during night
• Added new dynamic weather system
• Mod banned player's guid now shown on kick
• Added buttons for all custom key binds
• Changed night vision to use a custom key bind
• All survivors now have night vision
• Removed coloured smoke (to free effects)
• Smoke blurs vision
• Added Enhanced Night Vision perk
• Buffed hunter perk
• Improvements to Battle Hardened
• Increased laser range and improved effects
• Introduced Obscurity stances (Obscurity: Stances Guide)
• Added obscurity stealth pistol
• Added spider web firing mode
• Improved indirect firing modes
• Optimised and improved phasing logic
• Added admin panel
• Improved player scoring depending on kill
• Changed weapon camouflages
• Implemented propagating fire
• Added Fireproof perk
• Re-scriped and designed blood/gore effects
• Updated loading screen hints
• Added taunt skills (Obscurity: Taunt Skills Guide)
• Added missing sections to help file
• Added squad leaderboard and high score rewards
• Changed obscurity vision
• Added tracking pistol for obscurity
• Added propagating tracking infection
• Fixed the description for battle hardened to "Higher pain threshold and reduced blinding effects."
• Fixed the description for special x 3 to "3 special grenades". It was "3 special grenades. No smoke"
• Fixed the RPG description to "RPG-7 x 3". It was "RPG-7 x 2".
• Fixed the c4 description to "C4 x 3".
• Introduced point loss for tagging.
• Various improvements and changes to marine perks

• VIP gametype is no longer supported. All gametypes other than Elimination may be functional, but Elimination is our focus, so the other gametypes may have some minor bugs.

And various other huge changes since 299c which was released, possibly over a year ago.

Please be aware that there are many things that are still to be added, including updated help files, and therefore this is a 'work in progress' release. It is functional and there have been around a years' worth of changes since 299c, but it is not our official 299d release just yet.

The biggest changes were the introduction of stances and the admin panel which allows admins to be chosen and given restricted controls over the server, without having to share the rcon login details with them and give them access to everything.

If you have questions, feel free to ask us in the forums, or speak to your server admins.

When playing on the obscurity team, its currently less about team work and more about outwitting your opponents whilst contantly staying aware of your surroundings. I find most of the time, when you stick close to another obscurity, you end up getting each other killed. Perhaps we could create some team work inducing features for the obscurity team sometime. Currently the only team assistance they can provide is tracking.

Although 2 nights ago I had an epic team work moment with another obscurity, whereby there was 2 marines facing each other and we both came in and stabbed them in a synchronised fashion; it was great stuff.

Great idea Snake.

I always get killed by the other obs. I always stay as far away from them and they always seem to work their way to me and try to go for the marine i am after. Then proceed to get me killed. Its great. lol

OC1 2.99d WIP update 1/04/2010 (Only obtainable from OC1 server at present)

-Players now take much longer to burn to death, making it easier to douse and survive.
-Incendiary Grenade perk name changed to Incendiary and now has additional functions/features.
-TGB-7V Thermobaric Round on the RPG when using Incendiary perk.
-RPG's can now be fired from the hip, but very innacurately.
-10% chance that any damage you deal will light a limb on fire when using Incendiary.
-Fireproof now gives immunity to Firebug Special, and provides better survival rates when burning, as flames won't spread.
-Ghost stance bug fixed. Players will now take double damage when using Ghost.
-Small image/sound/fx tweaks.
-Discovered another engine limitation (yay...)

Just another limitation, which means we can't fix Dead Silence for Obscurity as we did for Covert Ops.

Just a more casual, Team vs Team affair involving cloaks. Some people think Obscurity is too complex, so we made a more casual mod, but linked them together storywise.

Red Vests vs Blue Vests, testing prototype devices created from technogy obtained during battle with the Obscurity. 
Supports all game types including in original COD4.

I suggest not joining a squad for a few rounds. Awesome fear and scares inbound now! It's a whole new experience.

PS: The blood spatter has been completely redone and is so bloody (hehe) epic now!

mp_obs299d full can now be obtained from the downloads page. This is the full release of 2.99d, as we are now moving onto 2.99e WIP. We are aiming to provide some all new features for 2.99e WIP, so keep an eye out for it VERY soon.
