The image below is being showed on EA's official site for C&C3. What it al means I don't know yet. Could be a new expansion for the game or a patch to be released. You can be sure of one thing and that is that we will inform you the moment we know. Thu, 26 Jul 2007 21:30:00 GMT http://cnc.gamersnation.co.uk/Core/article/sid=1499.html That's right, the much awaited CNC3 Patch (Version 1.05) has been released by EA. Main changes as well as bug fixes include: Quote: 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. Tiberium Spike tech structure's income increased by 66% to 25 credits per unit of time. Mammoth Tank: Speed reduced by 7%. Attack power of rockets reduced by 25%. Rate of fire with Railguns upgrade reduced by 35%. Attack power with Railguns upgrade increased by 35%. Shadow Team: Health reduced by 50%. Added a "Classic Command & Conquer (Left-Click Orders) mouse interface option, which may be selected in the General tab of the Settings menu. Fixed an error that prevented players from being able to place certain structures as closely together other as expected, which makes it easier to find suitable building locations. Fixed an error that prevented players from using hotkeys to change unit stances while units were moving. In team-based matches, allied players now share Ground Control, allowing them to build structures in each others' bases. To download, simply check for updates using your Command and Conquer 3 Client! Dont forget, the full list of changes can be found in a previous CNCNation News Article found here: Click Here Thu, 07 Jun 2007 18:30:00 GMT http://cnc.gamersnation.co.uk/Core/article/sid=1469.html We would like to remind you all to thank your mothers for bringing you to this world!
