We've just released Tiberian Sun: Reborn version 2.0.1.0! Our focus on this release was to fix bugs and improve the overall balance of the game. The notes below should cover all of the changes we've made in the past couple of weeks.
We'd also just like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has picked up the game and joined battles on the server. It's really nice to see that Reborn still has the power to inspire and excite people even after all of these years, so thank you for putting big smiles on our faces.
General
New objective marker system for detecting units with the Mobile Sensor Array. This fixes a bug with the HUD related to being in the range of an enemy MSA
Players no longer have their inputs stuck when their deployed vehicle is destroyed while transitioning
Adjusted key mappings to assign default hotkeys to the extended options hotkeys list for clean installations. This may result in some keybind popup spam on the first game join, but it has been shown in testing to work
Color-coded the HUD health bar to green, yellow, and red
Fixed server instabilities
Score System
The building score system has been overhauled such that damage/repairs are based on a percentage of the building’s maximum HP: 37.5% for damage, 25% for repair, 25% for bounty, 10% for defense bounty
This varies for small structures
Large critical structures give 250 points to the team, non-critical large structures give 300 points to the team, and an additional amount is awarded to the team multiplied 250 by the player count
Radar Compass
Ghost Stalker/Cyborg Commando blips have been changed (set to exclamation marks)
Mammoth Mk II blip has been changed (set to target)
Blips get smaller if they are above/below you
Maps
Fixed a good number of stuck spots, terrain holes, floating objects, misaligned objects, visible objects that should be invisible, and other small, general map issues
Reinforcement harvesters have generally had pathfinding improvements across the board, including fixes in a lot of cases where they were dropped by the Carryall and drove nowhere
Adjusted the transparency of water on several maps to make it more consistent
Adjusted the drown zone height on several maps to make it more consistent where you start drowning (and you can’t walk as deeply into the water), also added drown zone on any maps where it was missing
TS_Anchorage
Added basic underwater terrain
Moved a GDI aircraft spawner away from the Refinery to a spot between the Construction Yard and War Factory
TS_Cliffs
Fixed improperly placed no-dig zone in the GDI base and extended its coverage to the Nod base
Adjusted lighting
TS_Dam
Adjusted a bit of the vehicle-blocking clutter in the bases
Fixed a bug allowing AAPC and MLRS to drive into the deep water
Made slight adjustments to the ramps leading to the upper infantry routes
Adjusted the out-of-bounds zone so it doesn't affect infantry up top where it shouldn't
TS_Drought
Bases got internally flipped with Power Plants on the inside loop
Cut a path through the Tiberium Field
Silos changed to blue
TS_Field
Added no-dig zone to the Nod base
Filled in a no-dig zone gap at the back of the GDI base

Added two Sam Sites to Nod interior walls
Cleaned up map issues

Added civilian buildings
Added GDI corner walls where applicable
Minor adjustments to aircraft landing points
TS_OmegaCity
Fixed erroneous out-of-bounds warning in the Hand of Nod basement
Fixed Nod outpost repair section, including removing the stuck MRV
Removed one rear Nod SAM site and adjusted the others
Adjusted water zone so players can’t travel so deep without taking damage
Silos changed to blue
TS_Snow
Added a Tiberium Silo for each team
TS_TaintedLegacy
Added an underwater zone to the lake
TS_Tiber
Removed phantom GDI/Nod Construction Yards
Balance Changes
We've made a ton of changes to the game based on your feedback in the Discord Feedback Hub. Please keep the feedback coming, as it's really valuable for us to know how you're all perceiving the game. Thanks to everyone who has spent time to give feedback so far!
The main aim of the changes in this release was to re-center the balance of vehicles, as the general consensus was that they were a bit weak.
Upon investigation, we discovered that our benchmark engagement (a Titan vs. a Tick tank) was around 13 seconds, which was way too short for what the game really required. With that in mind, we've done some work to strengthen vehicles vs. anti-tank weapons to draw those engagements out a bit more. Below is a full list of balance changes. If you have any feedback on the way these numbers are presented, please let us know!
Global Armour Types & Warhead Changes
Every building, infantry, and vehicle in TSR</abbr> has an armor type. Every projectile and explosion has a warhead type. When calculating damage, a projectile’s warhead will have a multiplier that corresponds to an armor type in order to determine how much damage is dealt.
For example, my Titan’s cannon does 90 damage and has the Warhead “Tank Shell”. I am shooting an undeployed Tick Tank which has the armor type “Armoured Vehicle”. “Tank Shell” has a 0.65 damage multiplier when shooting at “Armoured Vehicle”, so the total damage dealt to the Tick Tank per shot is 58.5.
The changes below have been made to the Armour & Warhead table to enact larger changes throughout the entire game.
