C&C3: Tiberium Wars: Changelog zum Patch 1.05

[Gast NewsBot]

Geschrieben von TiMeLeZ

Gestern noch hatte APOC nur einige Neureungen verraten doch heute schon hat er den Gesamten Changelog zum anstehen Patch 1.05 im EA-Forum gepostet.

Das wird sich ändern:

· Fixed an exploit in which players could use GDI Engineers,

Nod Saboteurs, or Scrin Assimilators to capture enemy structures

without moving the units over to those structures.

· Observers of multiplayer matches can no longer use hotkeys to

affect spectated players' production queues.

· Units affected by the Scrin Mothership's Catalyst Cannon now

lose their explosive properties if teleported via the Teleport

Units ability or the Wormhole support power.

· Scrin Mothership can no longer fire its Catalyst Cannon

through a Wormhole.

The following balance changes are intended to enable a more-

diverse set of viable strategies for both casual and competitive

play, and to further ensure that the forces of the GDI, the

Brotherhood of Nod, and the Scrin are evenly matched as Tiberium

Wars rage on.

/General Balance Changes/

· Some structures on each side no longer provide Ground Control

for base expansion. These include: Power Plants, Reactors,

Tiberium Silos, Barracks, Hands of Nod, and Portals.

· Heavy infantry units' resistance to CANNON damage increased by

45%. This affects GDI's Zone Troopers and Commando, Nod's Black

Hand and Commando, and Scrin's Shock Troopers and Mastermind.

All other infantry resistance to CANNON damage increased by 25%.

This change means infantry are less vulnerable to tank shells and

similar weapons.

· Infantry armor penalty to SNIPER damage removed. This change

makes infantry slightly less vulnerable to Nod Shadow Teams in

particular; GDI Commandos and Sniper Teams, Nod Commandos, and

Scrin Buzzers are still highly lethal against enemy infantry.

· Infantry attack range bonus while garrisoned reduced by 25%.

· GDI Commando, Nod Commando, and Scrin Mastermind units can no

longer be crushed by enemy vehicles.

· CANNON weapons, such as those found on the GDI Predator Tank and

Nod Scorpion Tank, now cannot miss against moving enemy vehicles.

· GDI, Nod, and Scrin Harvesters' cost/build time increased by 40%

to 1400/14. All Harversters' speed and turn rates equalized, which

makes Scrin's Harvester slightly more maneuverable than before.

· GDI Refinery, Nod Refinery, and Scrin Extractor sale price

reduced by 70% to 300 credits.

· GDI Surveyor, Nod Emissary, and Scrin Explorer base expansion

units now all move at the same speed. Specifically, the Nod

Emissary and and Scrin Explorer move 50% more slowly to match

the GDI Surveyor.

· Repair Drones for all sides now repair vehicles that are under

attack. Limit one Drone per vehicle. Rate of repair is now

constant, rather than a percentage based on the vehicle's total

health. This means vehicles with lower maximum health will be

repaired faster.

· Standardized repair radius on all structures. As a result, the

radius on all aircraft production structures has increased.

· Re-stealth time doubled for units that do not have innate

stealth effects, such as units affected by Nod's Cloaking Field.

This means such units will take longer to regain stealth after

attacking or being detected.

· Ground Control provided by building a GDI Crane, Nod Crane, or

Scrin Foundry has been equalized. Specifically, the amount of

Ground Control gained by building a Nod Crane or Scrin Foundry

has increased by 50%.

· Tiberium Spike tech structure's income increased by 66% to 25

credits per unit of time.

· Defensive Tower tech structure's attack power increased by 60%.

· Visceroids are now punishable by crushing.

/GDI Balance Changes/

· Rifleman Squad: Speed increased by 20%. Attack power increased

by 50%. Dig In ability cost reduced to 100, build time reduced

to 5, Foxhole capacity increased to two units. Foxholes no longer

eject infantry units until the Foxholes are destroyed. Dig In

ability now causes the unit to begin building a Foxhole

immediately at its location.

by 25%. Turret turn rate and pitch rate increased, improving the

APC's ability to fire on fast- moving aircraft.

unit more maneuverable. Battle Base Repair Drones changed to work

like all other Repair Drones.

Attack power increased by 150%.

· Attack Bike: 200% attack power bonus vs. aircraft has been

removed. Turret arc and turn rate increased, which allows the unit

to more-effectively attack any nearby targets while moving.

to attacks from the flank and rear. Fixed an error that caused

the unit to not always fire both rockets at once, effectively

raising its attack power.

· Scorpion Tank: Attack power reduced by 20% before Laser

Capacitors upgrade.

Added four new multiplayer maps, which may also be used in

Skirmish mode. Two out of four of these maps are enabled for

ranked competition online, and so will appear in the Automatch

map rotation.

/Map 1: Tournament Rift/

Red Zones such as this have long since become uninhabitable to any

of Earth's life forms, and yet serve as a focal point for the

conflict between the GDI, the Brotherhood of Nod, and the Scrin,

in their continued efforts to gain control over the alien mineral.

This is a two-player map available for ranked matches.

/Map 2: Tournament Coastline/

As the spread of Tiberium inexorably continued across the world,

GDI and Nod forces found themselves frequently skirmishing for

control over strategic coastal regions such as this one. This is

a two-player desert map available for ranked matches.

/Map 3: Schlactfeld Stuttgart/

The Scrin, desperate for Tiberium, savagely laid waste to this

once-proud German city in short order. Now fighting over the green

crystal continues in the city's ruined remains. This is a two-

player urban map available for unranked matches.

/Map 4: Coastline Chaos/

An extension of Tournament Coastline, this map is based on the very

first map used to publicly showcase Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium

Wars at the 2006 Electronic Entertainment Expo. This is a four-

player desert map available for unranked matches.
