Insurgency - Mikee
We are releasing a patch for Insurgency today that features all new Ambush scenarios, work in progress penetration-based armor, updated character models with equipment representation, competitive changes, and more.

All New Ambush Scenarios



We’ve changed the game rules as well as many layouts for Ambush, the goal being to revive the mode by making it more fun and competitive. The mode now always has a single extraction point, which changes each round. The added and updated scenarios have been added to the official tactical and competitive playlists. Please give us your feedback on the new layouts via our forums, and let us know what you think.

Work in Progress Penetration-Based Armor

We are currently working on penetration-based armor, which has now been introduced to cooperative and competitive modes in the game. When this is enabled, visible armor on characters function like real armor, instead of simply adding extra health points to the character’s chest/stomach area.

When we’ve received enough feedback and have had time to balance the damage model properly, we will introduce the feature to regular multiplayer. In the meantime, modders may enable the penetration based armor via theater files, and it may be tested on the cooperative and competitive playlists.

Updated Characters with Equipment Representation





Top to bottom: Heavy Armor, Light Armor, No Armor
Left to right: No Vest, Chest Rig, Chest Carrier


We have updated the player models in Insurgency so each character visually represents the armor and vest (or lack thereof) he is wearing. They have also been changed and improved visually, in particular the Insurgents and Security VIP. These character changes were necessary to pave the way for penetration-based armor.

Workshop creators please take note, these changes will break any mods with player model replacements. It will not break player retexture mods, however their clothing/look will be shifted around. The Security No Armor model will show up as a vanilla skin because of our changes.

Competitive Changes

We’ve updated the competitive playlist to include the new Ambush mode with all new layouts and implement an all new supply gain economy accompanied with new equipment loadouts and class templates. As rounds progress, players will earn supply, allowing them to use new weapons they might not have had access to at the beginning of the match. Supply is gained each time you capture an objective, or get 5 kills/assists. We have also added Skirmish mode to the playlist.

The new work in progress penetration based armor is also now included in competitive to give greater value to armor and a proper purpose to AP/HP rounds. Once you try it out, don’t hesitate to share your thoughts on how well you feel it works via our forums.

We are currently in the process of setting up anti cheat for the game. It will run for all of the game in comp, PvP, and coop. This is not yet ready to be implemented into the main game experience, but it is something we are currently testing among other things on our beta branch. If you would like to join our developer beta tests, be sure to join our the community group here to get an event notification when we have tests.

Full changelist is below:

Gameplay Improvements
  • Updated Player models.
  • Players models are now visually representative of their armor and gear choices.
  • New work in progress Competitive theater which includes penetration-based armor and supply economy.
  • Updated third person crouch leaning animations and crouch idle positions to line up better with where the first person camera is.
  • Raised Ambush player count needed for 2 active control points to 16 players.
  • When Ambush is in single control point mode, the game will now alternate between the two points rather than randomizing it.
  • New Ambush mode map layouts.
  • Added Ambush and Skirmish mode maps to the Competitive theater.
Fixes
  • Fixed score reset when mp_restartround is run on the server.
  • Fixed props disappearing in Verticality when shader settings are set to Very High.
  • Fixed SourceTV being unable to join full coop games.
Map Changes
  • Fixed a restricted area that allowed spawn camping in Buhriz Push.
  • Fixed a restricted area in District Push.
  • Fixed an invisible wall in Dry Canal.
  • Fixed miscellaneous issues in various maps.

Have fun, enjoy! :security:

Today we release our first patch for Day of Infamy, based upon some of the initial feedback we received and major issues we noticed.

We would like to point out that the singleplayer missions have been improved in this patch, but they still have a way to go. We will be spending considerable time improving this experience leading up to the full release.

Below is the full list of changes for today’s patch:

User Experience Improvements
  • Adjusted difficulties in the game. Now there are only two, and they have been renamed:
    • Classic - Gameplay representing the classic WWII games - death notices, friendly fire disabled.
    • Grit - New World’s rendition of more intense and suspenseful gameplay - no death indication, and friendly fire enabled.
  • Added random gameplay hints to the loading screen.
  • User interface adjustments:
    • US Army icon updated.
    • Game mode added to server info.
    • Brightened server list text to increase legibility.
    • Images added to rule set filter in server browser.

Gameplay Improvements
  • Radio operators will receive assist points for artillery kills.
  • Adjusted bot counts (both friendly and enemy) in cooperative and singleplayer.
  • Added “possession” feature for singleplayer, so that instead of losing when you die, you take over a nearby friendly soldier. You will lose only if your whole squad is wiped out.
  • Friendly bots no longer respawn constantly in coop/single player, unless specified in a map objective. Now they default to spawning when humans spawn (objective/regroup based).
  • Regrouping added as the method of reinforcement in singleplayer Entrenchment.

Bug Fixes
  • Fixed crash when selecting “Setup Microphone”.
  • Fixed crash when change level was called without a gamemode.
  • Fixed not being able to join coop servers due to too many bots.
  • Fixed being able to call in artillery with your own radio if you switched to officer during gameplay.
  • Adjusted rounds per minute values on semi-automatics to prevent macro abuse.
  • Fixed equipping the flamethrower as a US Army engineer. This was caused by the fuel tank weight not being taken into account properly.
  • Fixed assist points being assigned to the wrong player.
  • Fixed artillery kills on kill feed enabled servers showing as the weapon you have out.
  • Fixed “rifle grenade” selection not being removed from your inventory when you dropped a weapon equipped with rifle grenades.
  • Disabled tree sway for swamp trees in Reichswald.
  • Fixed bots occasionally spawning in the prone position.

Performance/Stability Improvements
  • Reduced bot counts in singleplayer to improve performance.
  • Fixed server-side crash when trying to transition to a map without the gamemode being defined.
  • Potential crash fix related to camera animations.
