This is the first Trans Ops Beta update on Steam v0.740136.
It covers everything since dedicated servers went up — lobby, profiles, grenades, spectate, gas, maps, controller, VOIP. A lot of this was patched more than once until it stuck. This is the version you are playing now. When you read through you will see why it took one person who is learning as they go 3 months to complete. See ya in game!

Highrise — still not in the build
Coming next
None of this is in tonight's build. It is teaser to what I am actually doing next.
Demolition Game Mode — We have search and destroy currently, adding classic demo where both sides can plant/disarm
Steam leaderboards — in-game board stays in testing until points are regulated; then those scores go up to Steam
Weapons — wall clip, optics in first person, tracers on hot rounds, wind on drop, reload animations per gun
Operators — custom characters, smoother anims, taunts / dances / moves
Vaulting System — Able to climb any wall within height limit; possible lip scaling if all goes as planned
Cover System — Basic get-down-behind-something animation. Locking to short walls or barriers, able to shoot from cover
Proximity mics in the match (lobby stays global)
Full gamepad UI — real focus, not a fake mouse cursor
Highrise current level under construction coming to the rotation
Under the hood
Menus cleaned up
Lobby / match-settings warning spam reduced
Cook / output log cleanup
