Release Note:
<Exploits>

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.

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/

by 50%. Dig In ability cost/buildtime reduced to 100/5, now causes

<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: Schlachtfeld 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.

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>

Fixed an error that caused some players to unexpectedly see
the GDI campaign's alternate ending video instead of the
intended ending video.

certain structures as closely together as expected, which makes
it easier to find suitable building locations.

impassable to ground units.

unexpectedly move from the gameplay monitor to another
monitor as players scroll across the screen.

is selected.

Nod Carryalls to become stuck and unselectable when ordered to

structure build times to update dynamically as intended.
Previously, production that started during low-power state
did not automatically speed up if power was restored.

The mouse cursor now no longer suggests that air units can
be used to open Crates.

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.

Computer-controlled players will no longer attempt to sell
the same structure multiple times when low on resources, which
caused a stream of zeros to appear onscreen.

GDI APCs now will always move close enough to their targets
to ensure infantry units inside are within attack range.

Fixed an error that sometimes caused walker unit death
animations to not play correctly.

Scrin Stormriders are now affected by the player's handicap
setting in multiplayer matches.

players' starting positions.

destroyed.

Added effects for Nod Vertigo Bomber's rear anti-air turret.

Annihilator Tripod.

catch fire more quickly than intended.

The user interface now properly stretches to the top and
bottom of the screen in 1280x1024 resolution.

Added recoil effects to non-upgraded Nod Scorpion Tank and
GDI Guardian Cannon.

create the entry and exit points on top of each other.

superweapons only in their most-fortified bases.

Added an EVA announcement for when teammates place a beacon.

if they proceed.
