Tiberian Sun: Reborn has a new update out! Read about it and the future of TSR in the full blog! Hello, and welcome to the update. It's been a while since we've had an update. We have a multitude of reasons for this, but also some exciting news, so read on! Generalcamo's Life Update So first I wanted to address my personal life. I'm not going to be as active anymore. I am heading into university, and I am unlikely to have as much time as I used to have. I actually just recently moved into my own apartment, turned 18, and could barely work on this project to release it. TSR 1.5.0.0 So, on with the update. 1.5.0.0 has gone gold and is available for download! We have a host of changes for this patch, which unfortunately cannot be appreciated as I lost my entire changelog during the move to my new apartment (fun!). But I can at least give some information about the major changes: Enforcer As the Second Tiberium War started to come to a close, GDI realized that even if they could somehow manage to contain the Tiberium infestation, they would have no way to make any incursions into hostile Tiberium infested territory. As a result, High Command started development on a trooper that could survive in such an environment, codenamed "Enforcer." Using an improved version of the Power Suit that Dr. Ignatio Mobius and Dr. Sydney Mobius developed in the post-war crisis of the last Tiberium War, these soldiers were initially to be equipped with high power railguns. With the high cost of these weapons however, the decision was made to instead equip these soldiers with the Portable Ion Cannon Mk. II, used by the elite Drop Troopers during the war. The Enforcer is equipped with an improved version of the Portable Ion Cannon, experimented upon by Dr. Sydney Mobius at the close of the First Tiberium War. It is highly effective against Vehicles and Cyborgs, but is not very effective against most structures. This weapon, while hit-scan, fires slowly, so each shot needs to count. It also walks slower than most GDI Infantry due to the use of an experimental protective suit. These suits are also equipped with a temporary JetPack that allows for temporary flight. However, due to the high cost of these modules, these are only given to the most elite troopers using these power suits. Note: The model and texture are placeholders, and will be replaced as soon as we have a replacement. Disk Thrower The Disk Thrower had many changes. This was done as a result of player and tester feedback that the unit was not as useful as it could be. The first major change is that disk throwers throw their disks faster now. This allows them to hit targets easier at range. You will also notice that Primary Fire no longer has a minimum range, which should remove a lot of the frustration. Alternate Fire was re-done. While still faster than the Primary Fire, it now has a very large minimum range which should discourage its use at close range. It is also not accurate at all, which means that Primary Fire is still useful compared to this. On the plus side, the disk now travels further, which is useful for long-range engagements. Just don't expect to hit anything very easily. Officers It has come to my attention that the officers badly needed a re-balance. Elite cadres were just too powerful, while GDI officers were nearly useless. Initially, this was thought to be the result of a change to their DPS that made the elite cadre more powerful than the GDI officer. Testing however, revealed that it was actually due to the result of the Elite Cadre being way too accurate, in addition to his absurd grenades. To balance this out, Elite Cadres now have inaccuracy. This isn't as much as the GDI officer, but it still is enough to balance him. In addition, he now only carries 15 grenades at a time. These can be replenished by refilling, but this should force Elite Cadres to think about exactly where they are planting these grenades. These changes are still awaiting some feedback, so please let us know your thoughts in the coming days. Smaller Changes Rocket Soldiers were nerfed against infantry. In exchange, he has a pistol now. Devil's Tongues now have a clip that needs to be reloaded above ground Mobile Stealth Generators now have a limit of 5 (from 3) and are faster now Building Interiors were updated to include ambient sounds now Map Changes It has come to my attention that a few maps are unbalanced and disliked. Here are the relevant changes: TS_Shallows This map is awaiting a full remake, or failing that, it will be removed due to the low quality of the map itself and terrible gameplay state at the moment. TS_Field This map has had an extensive change. Tester and player feedback has led to this map being completely replaced with the old Field_2 map. TS_Desert_River This map is the old Field under a new name. Not too many changes here. Infantry-Only maps TS_Frostbite is still off the server. TS_Drought however is back on rotation. Other maps Some of you might remember other maps during testing. TS_Kombat has been cut completely until it can be completely redone. TS_Storm is cut until it gets its textures redone. TS_Pipeline has been cut until CTF can be implemented properly. The Future I'm going to be less active than usual, but I have already planned out the roadmap to the next version. The next major version should be 2.0. We will be doing a near-full rebalance of the entire game, so do expect some major changes here. We will also be adding vehicle veterancy to this patch, which has honestly been delayed for far too long already. This will take at least 4 months to do however, so we are branching our development paths to continue to bring you balance changes to 1.5.x as needed. Don't expect too many new features, but at least game-breaking bugs and balance issues will be fixed. That's it for this update. Expect more updates on the road to 2.0, along with some patch release notes as we get them out.

Damn it! Generalcamo is our hero! Saviour of TSR! I am more than happy with new updates! I agree with others about HUD with credits and time especially when buying its not so comfortable but come on its no bad. Other new details of HUD are too a bit strange but of course its new and all we need just a little time to adept and i think its only better than older HUD. Tried out enforcer great unit and. Of course its great to mention Devil Tongue DPS change which i highly appreciate (this unit ussually became a good reason for ragequiters to quit, screw the game and reducing online). Devil Tongues once were Online Killers but not anymore thanks to you. Elite Cadre was quite OP too if compare with officer but no more. I also noticed in map TS_under no more ''cracked'' defences where u can simply easily destroy the turret by hitting component tower (Other maps did not tried yet). It's great as well. After so many changes i think we can get more players and let them stay longer. We gonna miss ya in this game! Best luck for you both in life and further creation

Nice. i like the new juggernaut barrel animation and that the JJ can fly quicker than he walks. And finally the arty is moving straight!
