Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars – Patch 1.09

Released on 24 October 2007

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an error that sometimes caused players to unexpectedly type-select multiple unit types at once due to an interface lag when rapidly switching between unit types during online play.
  • Structures now lose Ground Control radius as soon as they are destroyed. Previously they continued providing Ground Control for several seconds while their husks remained onscreen.
  • Fixed an error that caused some infantry units to continue approaching their targets while firing, rather than firing while standing at their maximum range.
  • Fixed an error that caused upgraded Power Plants and Reactors to continue providing power for several seconds after being destroyed.
  • Fixed an error that allowed players to detect enemy structures through the shroud by using the Set Rally Point marker.
  • Fixed an error that caused computer-controlled players with the “Turtle” personality to not build base defenses as expected.
  • Nod Avatar’s flamethrower upgrade now correctly shows a garrison-clearing effect.

Multiplayer Maps

  • New Map: Wrecktropolis
    The ongoing conflict between the forces of GDI, the Brotherhood of Nod, and the Scrin have taken a tremendous toll on the world, as evidenced by countless ruined husks of cities. Wrecktropolis is one such example. This is a four-player map available for unranked matches.
  • Rebalanced Map: Barstow Badlands
    This map is now slightly larger: There is more buildable area near players’ starting bases, and the chokepoints are not as narrow. Garrisonable structures should now be symmetrical for both players.
  • Rebalanced Map: Tournament Tower
    This map no longer has a third-tier elevation level in the center of the map, which frees up this area for battle. Expansion Tiberium fields switched from blue to green. Various objects throughout the map have been removed to free up room for base building and combat.
  • Rebalanced Map: Pipeline Problems
    This map no longer has pipelines near the northern starting position, to mirror the layout of the southern starting position.
  • Rebalanced Map: Tiberium Gardens III (Kane Edition)
    This Kane Edition map no longer has Tiberium fields along the narrow ridges. New expansion fields have been added to the far side of each basin containing a player position.

Balance Changes

The following balance changes are intended to make resource gathering more strategic and artillery units more viable, while also further tuning the combat forces to ensure even balance across all three factions in any combination.

General Balance Changes

  • Harvesters: Carrying capacity reduced by 42% to 1400 credits of green crystals and 2800 credits of blue crystals. Gathering cycle sped up by 8 seconds. Overall rate of income reduced by approximately 35%.
  • GDI MCV, Nod MCV, Scrin Drone Platform: Cost/Build time increased by 40% to 3500/35, health and speed normalized.

GDI Balance Changes

  • Grenadier Squad: Range increased by 20%.
  • Commando: Suppression time reduced by 70%. This means the Commando can use his C4 Charges to demolish multiple structures more quickly.

  • Commando: Suppression time reduced by 70%. This means the Commando can use her C4 Charges to demolish multiple structures more quickly.
  • Attack Bike: Range increased by 16%.
  • Stealth Tank: Attack power increased by 66%.
  • Beam Cannon: Range increased by 25%. This does not affect the Avatar’s extra weapon gained from commandeering a Beam Cannon.

  • Devastator Warship: Range increased by 20%. Rate of fire reduced by 200%. Attack power increased by 100%. Scatter radius reduced.
  • The Swarm: Support Power can no longer be used directly on top of infantry and vehicles. Cooldown time increased by 66% to 150. Now spawns 5 Buzzers instead of 7.
  • Phase Field: Support Power no longer affects infantry. Cooldown time reduced by 50% to 180.

Other Changes

  • Tuning to Classic Command & Conquer (Left-Click Orders) mouse interface: Bridges are no longer selected in favour of issuing move orders. Players can now issue orders on the Radar.

Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars – Patch 1.06

Released on 16 July 2007

This patch for Command & Conquer 3 changes the way that disconnect stats are recorded during ranked and unranked online matches, addresses a critical exploit, and fixes a number of other bugs.

Exploits

  • Fixed an exploit that caused any unit or structure to become invincible if force-fired upon by a Mammoth Tank that had been upgraded with Rail Guns.

Other Bugs

  • Fixed a bug that caused the Nod Cloaking Field power to deduct up to 6,000 credits from the Operations Center. The power now correctly deducts 3,000 credits.

Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars – Patch 1.05

Released on 7 June 2007

This patch for Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars fixes several exploits and bugs, makes balance changes across all three sides, adds four new multiplayer maps and assorted user interface enhancements, and more.

  • 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 hot-keys 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.
  • It is no longer possible to stall an online multiplayer match by repeatedly pressing the Capture Screenshot hotkey.
  • Fixed a team exploit in which the Nod Cloaking Field support power could be used to make infantry units inside of allied GDI APCs gain stealth.

Balance Changes
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 the 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. Standardized all Harversters’ speed and turn rate. Specifically, the Scrin Harvester is now slightly more maneuverable than before.
  • GDI Refinery, Nod Refinery, and Scrin Extractor sale price reduced by 70% to 300 credits.
  • GDI Engineers, Nod Saboteurs, and Scrin Assimilators now capture enemy structures or repair allied structures as soon as they reach the edge of the structures.
  • Standardized the speed of GDI Surveyor, Nod Emissary, and Scrin Explorer base expansion units. Specifically, the Nod Emissary and Scrin Explorer now move 50% more slowly to match the GDI Surveyor.
  • Repair Drones for all sides can 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.
  • Standardized the amount of Ground Control provided by a GDI Crane, Nod Crane, or Scrin Foundry. 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/buildtime reduced to 100/5, now causes the Riflemen Squad to begin building a Foxhole immediately at its location. Foxhole capacity increased to two units.

  • Harvester: Attack power increased by 300%.
  • Rig: Acceleration and deceleration times reduced, making the unit more maneuverable. Battle Base Repair Drones changed to work like all other Repair Drones.
  • Mammoth Tank: Speed reduced by 7%. Attack power of rockets reduced by 25%. Rate of fire with Railguns upgrade reduced by 35% but attack power increased proportionally.
  • Orca: Health increased by 50%.
  • Firehawk: Now fires its missile loadout in volleys, improving the Firehawk’s ability to quickly damage groups of enemy aircraft.
  • Ox Transport: Health increased by 70%.

  • Militant Rocket Squad: Speed increased by 20%. Health increased by 100%. Range increased by 75%. Attack power vs. aircraft reduced by 25%.
  • Saboteur: Speed increased by 20%.
  • Shadow Team: Health reduced by 50%.
  • Black Hand: Speed increased by 22%. Health increased by 66%. Attack power increased by 150%.
  • Attack Bike: Removed 200% attack power bonus vs. aircraft. Turret arc and turn rate increased, which allows the unit to more-effectively attack any nearby targets while moving. Directional armor removed, which makes the unit more resistant 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.
  • Raider Buggy: Attack power vs. infantry reduced by 25%.
  • Scorpion Tank: Attack power reduced by 20%. Rate of fire with Laser Capacitors upgrade reduced by 20% but attack power increased proportionally.

Scrin Balance Changes

  • Buzzers: Health increased by 50%. Move and attack rates retuned. As a result, Buzzers are now more effective at cutting through massed infantry but will no longer kill entire infantry squads all at once.

  • Harvester: No longer spawns an Ion Storm when destroyed.
  • Corrupter: Acceleration and deceleration times reduced, making the Corrupter more manoeuvrable.

Multiplayer Maps
This patch adds 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.

User Interface Enhancements

  • Added a “Classic Command & Conquer (Left-Click Orders)” mouse interface option, which may be selected in the General tab of the Settings menu.
  • Added the ability to cycle through multiple production facilities of the same type either by clicking on the main tab for that production category or tapping the respective hotkey.
  • When placing production structures, players will now see these structures’ default rally point, which should help guide base-building decisions near impassable terrain.
  • The Reverse Move command for vehicles can now be given by pressing and holding the hotkey (default ‘D’) as well as by tapping the hotkey before each move order.
  • The ‘Show Healthbars’ hotkey (default ‘~’) now toggles on all healthbars with one tap. Tapping the hotkey again reverts the effect.
  • Loading screens prior to online multiplayer battles now show a snapshot of the selected map as well as statistics for each player.
  • It is now possible to rebind the default hotkeys for camera controls.
  • Hotkeys for Telestrator features are now available for the match Commentator. Visit the Hotkeys tab of Settings menu to view the default hotkeys or change them.
  • Various “slash commands” added to online multiplayer lobbies. Type “/help” in an online lobby for a list of commands. To expedite one-on-one chat, press Ctrl + Up Arrow or Ctrl + Down Arrow to cycle through players with whom you have exchanged private messages during your last session.

Bug Fixes

  • Jumping to a unit group now moves the camera to the center of the group, rather than the last unit added to the group.
  • Nod defensive turret hubs now appear unstealthed when their turrets fire while under the effects of the Disruption Tower.
