I would voice against raising the flight ceiling due to the fact that - currently - aa units won't be able to reach them if the ceiling will be any higher. So until the AA system has been introduced, keep it low.
ok this is a good argument.
One other thing which can be considered for change is the power plant. At the monent it disables only high tier turrets (sam sites, RPG turrets and oberlisk of light) when destroyed.
But some maps dont have any high tier turrets, but still have a PP (like Grandcanyon, Snow, Cliffs). I didnt like the renegade aproach of increasing the unit prices. But what about disabling all turrets. That would mean, that removing the PPs on TS_Cliffs should be taken into consideration as they serve no purpose there.

Overall the patch included good tweaks/additions. Tanks feel more like tanks now and the EMP Tank has a good balance now with decreasing rate of fire and more splash.
Things that can be discussed:
- Orca fighter still has only 1 round of missiles. Give them at keast 2.
- purchasable grenades are still quite weak
- jumpjet trooper deals not enough damage for its price
- TS_Dam still has fps issues (maybe hidden objects in the 3dsmax file cause them, I had such problems back then, when Ive constructed the map)
- TS_OmegaCity needs more height for proper flying battles (but make the areas on the cliffs no-go areas, so you cant basecamp on them)
- Nod early rushs are quite op. Maybe design the GDI AAPC to an early game unit.

People are complaining about it but I kinda like the relatively quick time-to-kill for everything now. Even the regular infantry can still cause serious damage to Ghost Stalkers/Cyborg Commandos with consistent headshots. If you don't miss any of your shots and stay in cover, a rocket guy can take down a titan or a tick tank with ease.
It has its pros, as it provides more dynamic to the battlefield. But some vehicles are just not worth buying anymore imo. Slow vehicles with short range like the Disruptor need a proper HP buff.

its not about the amount of HP. Its about the armor tier. In Renegade Westwood established vehicles to have heavy armor tier, mid armor tear or light armor tier. In the current Reborn build it feels like no vehicle has the heavy armor tear checked in the properties. Therefore every unit can deal significant damage.

besides network issues and fps problems on TSDam it was a solid experience. Many good improvements from the previous version. Well done!
And yes, bring back the hijacker.
And thanks for getting my old map (now TS_Anchorage) ready. Its a fun map and good idea to open up the center by removing parts of the cliffs at each base. Maybe open up the center entrance to the Nod base a bit more. There are too many props (street lights, stone, buildings) infront of this center entrance for the huge GDI vehicles. There is a invisible barrier missing at the canal. You can just walk out of the map there. And the tiberium cave needs some green lighting. Oter than that i like how it turned out.
The additions to TS_Dam and TS_Tiber are very good, too. What I dont like are the huge amount of props added in the area outside the battlefield on TS_OmegaCity. Looks too overcrowded with buildings.
Regarding gameplay balance issues:
- these 100$ extra grenades need a buff. They are not worse the purchase at the moment.
- GDI mobile EMP tank needs a huge buff. Let it block Nod vehicles and cyborgs from shooting, too, if hit. Let it disable laser turrets and sams. Maybe increase splash.
- give the orca fighter at least 3 rounds with a quite long reload time (like 10 seconds). Firing just 8 missiles and then moving back to ammo station is no fun gameloop.
- Nearly every vehicle feels like it gets destroyed to quickly.
- some maps provide too much money. Maybe delete silo, if the harvester route is short.

Do you still have the higher polycount dam version?
yes, i have the .max file of the TS_Dam map with the higher polycount version of the dam.

Is there a possiblity to get one map or all of them working? TS_Dam, TS_Tiber, TS_OmegaCity
I still have all the files (.dds textures, .max, .mix, .W3D, .lvl) from back then.

Man guys. Is this the full Cold retraction 2 map I see in the first picture? Totally forgot about this map allthough it costed me a lot of time to build it without even releasing it

I dont think this is needed as all Nod vehicles are very small compared to the mk2, but are fast enough to not get stomped by the very slow Mk2 if used correctly

very good. now when can we start Reborn 2.0 battles?

So the Hand of Nod got destroyed by a pistol :D

I hope this new laser socket is fully testet, because I see some trouble here. E.g. that you can easily find an angle where the laser turret cant hit you, but you can attack the socket. This was a problem of the base component towers, too, when the whole base was aligned to the turret.

MEMP will encourage teamplay. A good way to integrate it into the game is making the MEMP expensive (like 1600$), but is very effective for the late game support (proper armor, and speed, two EMP blast modes). A small area EMP blast by left clicking (e.g. 20 m radius) with direct impact and short cooldown (e.g. 3 seconds) and a big EMP blast by right clicking (e.g. 100 m radius) with delayed impact (e.g. 5 seconds) and high cool down (e.g. 20 seconds).

keep the old version, this one has bad texturing

I hope it will be a core defender light version. Otherwise it will be too tall and nearly indestructable.
I lost like 50 tick tanks and titans in that fire storm final missions.
But a core defnder will help to balance Nod in late game.

Lastly: I remember a while ago timeaura was working on a core defender. Maybe that old project was given new life and revived.
It wasnt me. It was forg0ten.
Nice to see progress. Hopefully we will get a lot 20+ people matches after 2.0 is live. Nice to see my maps back. Im really happy how Tiber, Omega City and Dam turned out regarding playabilty. Perhaps I will have some time to make 1 or 2 new maps after release, alltough I must admit that its not easy to create fun Reborn maps,

Ive always lowered the "spawn box" of the mammoth Mk2 a bit into the ground, so entering this unit wasnt that difficult on my maps (tiber, omegacity and dam)

As there are not very much player online for W3D mods, I think it would be a good solution to have the possiblity to vote for maps after a match is over.
Each map has a normal version for a decent full server, but also a small version for max 10 people.
Often there are around 6 people on a server on a very huge map. Thats not really fun gameplay allthpugh the map is good. If smaller versions of the maps provide more fun, the people will stay there longer and the amount will increase until the "original" map size versions can be played, like they should get played.

haha imagin 20 years ago, when we were kids and had fun with army men. Suddenly your father says "hey you want some cool tanks for your army? Star Wars? C&C tiberian dawn? You want to design your own little tanks?"
I would have been the happiest kid on the world... Lego? Who the fuck needs lego
What 3D printer model are you using? Its really good quality. Maybe I will buy one, too^^

Good work Kalle! You really need smooth the surfaces with sandpaper or acetone vapor chamber and paint some of these models.
At my work we have a 3D printer, too. You can create really cool stuff with it.

Reborn GDI opening game strategies

Rocket soldiers are quite effective against bikes, as they mostly hit with the lock-on mode. But yeah, at the start of a match, GDI is always on the defensive side until GDI survived the buggy/bike rush and can mass produce titans/hover/juggernauts mrls.
My suggestion was to tweak the AAPC to a kind of 600$ early attack unit, to counter the bike.
