CREDITS TO 4D1
Complete List of Mod Features
1) Killstreaks are replaced with a perk strike chain identical to the specialist pointstreak system in IW5. 2 points = extra perk. 4 points = another extra perk. 6 points = another extra perk. 8 kills = all perks enabled. At every 25 kills (24 w/ Hardline), you get a MOAB. More on that in #3.

2) The killstreak system has been replaced with pointstreaks. Objective completions now count toward your streak. These include (FULL) domination flag captures, CTF flag captures, bomb plants, and bomb disarms. Pointstreaks are noted by a meter at the bottom right corner of the screen.

3) Nukes are replaced with MOABs. They do not end the game. Once called in, they kill all enemy players, EMP the victim team, and give double XP to person who called it in as well as anyone else on their team for the rest of the match OR until a MOAB is called in by the opposing team. Essentially, the team with the most recent MOAB is the beneficiary of the double XP feature.

4) Default FOV changed to 80. Personally, I prefer 80 to 90. But you can change this yourself as easy as always with the in-game console.

5) Default player movement speed increased from 190 to 230. This is to help players keep up with bots, who move at slightly faster speeds than normal players.

6) RSE v10 bots have been rebalanced. They no longer utilize riot shields, shotguns, or sniper rifles. Bots trigger spamming the Barrett, utilizing riot shields for cheap melee tactics, and glitching to the point where SPAS-12's became nearly fully-automatic (

) was definitely a pain in the neck, so I patched all of those weapons out of their possible inventory.

7) Extra magazines at spawn (w/o Scavenger) has been doubled for all weapons. For example, the SCAR-H used to spawn with 40 rounds of extra ammo. It now spawns with 80. Most other assault rifles spawned with 60, they now spawn with 120. This helps to make Bling, Sleight of Hand, and other Tier 1 perk options more desirable without the looming caveat of being woefully undersupplied on spawn.

8) RSE Bot killstreaks are disabled. The specialist strike package applies to ALL players in game, bot and human alike. Thus, it would be unfair for them to both benefit from specialist perks while calling in Assault killstreaks as well.

8) RSE Bot response-time and panic knifing have been slightly nerfed. They now pause for a short time after locking onto a target to begin firing/meleeing (using a throwing knife for melee at close range). This is to make gameplay more fair and make it feel less like human players are at a mental disadvantage over instantaneously-responsive computerized opponents.

9) Perk icons have been replaced with their IW5 equivalents or at least their closest counterparts.
Bling - Recon
Cold Blooded - Assassin
Commando - Stalker
Danger Close - Blast Shield
Hardline - Hardline
Last Stand - UNCHANGED (You shouldn't be using Last Stand anyway, you cheapass noob.

)
Lightweight - Quickdraw
Marathon - Extreme Conditioning
Ninja - Dead Silence
One Man Army - Basic unchanged, Pro is Specialist Icon
Scavenger - Scavenger
Scrambler - Marksman
SitRep - SitRep
Sleight of Hand - Sleight of Hand
Steady Aim - Steady Aim
Stopping Power - Overkill

10) Colorblind Assist is incorporated into the mod. Green has been changed to cyan and red has been changed to orange.

11) Announcer voices are replaced with their IW5 equivalents or closest counterparts.
Army Rangers - Delta Force
Navy SEALs - PMC
OpFor - Inner Circle
Rio Militia - African Militia
Spetsnaz - Spetsnaz
TF-141 - SAS

12) Killstreak icons/sounds are replaced with their IW5 equivalents.

13) Weapon camos have been changed.
Desert - MARPAT
Arctic - Snow
Woodland - Woodland Digital
Digital - Hex
Urban - Arctic Violet
Blue Tiger - Blue (IW5)
Red Tiger - Red Tiger Digital
Fall - Gold (Non-specular, looks better on some guns than others. Looks BEST on the M16)

14) In-game voices (including AC-130 chatter, callouts, etc.) are replaced with their IW5 equivalents.

15) Most secondary weapons are now GOLD!

NOTE: Please re-read the section on how to edit your pointstreak strike chain. The procedure has been slightly simplified, but nonetheless altered. So please read on, even if you are a veteran of this mod!

While I do want to stipulate that this mod is the combination of many different works rolled into one, I do take a large part of credit as of later versions. I have spent countless hours, probably days worth of time logged in programming this mod trying to work out the kinks and tweak it to work as smoothly and as beautifully as possible. Figuring out how to make this mod compatible with Global Thermonuclear War, programming a new streak notification system, fixing bot balancing problems, adding in specialist bonus functions, fixing the mod to work with round-based gametypes, MOAB behavior, etc. were some of my hardest goals. But I am thrilled to say I accomplished them all. This has been ALOT of fun programming, and I'm very happy to release the final product to you guys. If you wish to take this mod and tweak it, please give credit to me first and foremost, while keeping in mind these great people that provided me with the groundwork and the foundation that this mod is built upon. They are:

Tinkie101 - Creator of the RSE (RetardedSmarterEnemies) v10 bot mod.
Neofiria - Creator of the Pre-MW3 Mod. This mod provided me w/ a pointstreak system and meter.
Azumikkel - Creator of the Custom Killstreak Mod. At this point, my Specialist mod is VERY loosely based off of this mod, but from the start, this is what I got my start from.

V6.3 now available!
What's New:
1) Patched the poinstreak icons/meter so that they don't conflict with the perk setup display that pops up spawn.
2) Bots no longer use (spam -_-) M21 EBR sniper rifles.
3) Patched bug where basic versions of perks were not retained through intermissions inbetween rounds.
4) Scavenger replenishes grenade launchers. Not sure how people will feel about this, but the bots don't use grenade launchers, so I don't see this as a big issue.
5) The extra ammo on spawn (+1 extra mag more than normal) now applies to secondary weapons as well.
6) Pointstreak notification fonts and icons resized for less HUD clutter.

V6.4 pending!
What to Expect:
1) Full support for Kill Confirmed! Drop Zone support will probably not happen, but we'll see!
2) Improved pointstreak meter mechanics
3) Removal of bot chat
4) Inclusion of bot waypoints for Oilrig/Invasion!

NOTE: This release will be halted until private matches are fixed in 4D1. Since I can't play them, I can't test my code to ensure it works. Thus, KillCon support is standing by for said patch.

SAMPLE V6.1 GAMEPLAY:

Download Instructions (THESE DIRECTIONS HAVE CHANGED AS OF V6.0 SO PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!)
1) There are now TWO DIFFERENT VERSIONS of the mod, both with their own specific purpose:

- The first is the FULL version. This is the classic version that includes IW5 custom camos, titles, emblems, rank icons, etc. For a full IW5 experience, I recommend that you download this version. This download can be found here: http://www.mediafire.com/?uzwjiucof8lmdt7

- The second version is the CSS version. This version is client-side friendly and does not include custom perk announcements, camos, perk icons, or any other feature of the IW5 combo mod. This makes for the most symmetrical experience between server hosts and client players. If you are hosting this mod on a dedicated/public server and you will have players joining your game that may not not have the mod installed, then I recommend that you download this version. This download can be found here: http://www.mediafire.com/?u1a93yt6larcavx

2) Once you have downloaded the mod, expand the RAR using a program like WinZip.

3) Put the .iwd file into the "m2demo" folder. The mod will then load at game start-up. To unload the mod, you must exit the game and remove the .iwd file from your "m2demo" folder before restarting IW4M

I am not responsible if you mistakenly delete other .iwd files from your computer and/or corrupt your game files!!! If you are unsure of the directions or if you are apprehensive about the proper steps to take during installation, just post a reply in this thread or PM me on here. I will get back to you in a timely manner (within a day)!

FAQ:
Q: Will I be able to play this on 4D1 even though this mod was developed on/for aIW?
A: Yes. This mod is confirmed as fully playable on 4D1. This mod is NOT playable on the Steam version of multiplayer, however.

Q: Is there a way to change the perk strike chain?
A: Yes. Scroll down for further instructions in that regard.

Q: How do I modify the RSE v10 bot difficulty levels?
A: There are two ways to do this, one is easier than the other. The easy way is to go to your console after starting a game and use the "svr_bots_skill #" command. Valid numbers are 0-3. Or you can go into the specialist.iwd file, and navigate to svr/bots.gsc. Scroll down and change the spread multiplier and override functions. Lower spread = greater accuracy. Higher spread number = lesser accuracy.
