It works for me. The obsolete attribute is in the System namespace.

 [System.Obsolete("This is an obsolete method")]
 public void Method(){}

Ah, it's in System! And apparently it's System.ObsoleteAttribute().

Unity uses

 [Obsolete("Method is obsolete.", false)]

The second bool parameter tells Unity to treat the usage of this method as error or not.

Well, that's not really Unity specific since, as jamora said, it's an attribute defined in the System namespace and is part of the .NET framework and not Unity. It's well documented on the MSDN. This included the optional "isError" parameter.
