Forums → Games → Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. Why did they have to update?

When I played this game I found it awesome. The sides were slightly unbalanced with Nod being extremely weak on the offense in later tech levels, but still making up for it with their stealth and sabotage. GDI was awesome. Although many units and upgrades were extremely expensive, the difference they could make(used with proper stategy of course) was unimaginable. The Scrin was just awesome with their Warships and PAC's with a few Tripods on the ground. They also had the only useful Commando in the game. Lets face it, one Raider Buggy is almost a one hit kill against the Commados. Then the Updates hit. Everything went up in price, GDI defenses started sucking! The Avatar went from support and sabotage to I can take on an Upgraded Mammoth! GDI units got weaker, Scrin units suffered from reduced attack, gained from extra range, and the already deadly Shock Troopers gained an extra soldier in their groups!

The stupid updates might as well have gotten rid of factions because the game is almost completely balanced. You don't need to rely on tactics and sabotage as much as brute force for Nod now, GDI has more trouble trying to steamroll, seeing as their economy has to somehow double to put out the same force as before the updates! The Scrin it seems are the only ones that got some form of benefit. Their Warships fire even further and do even MORE damage! Their Shock Troopers also best GDI's equal because now they have the same amount of soldiers per squad, but they can fire on air units. The whole game has been crippled because everything is too even! It was slightly unfair for Nod, but they could have just given them some price reductions, or made their troops a little more powerful, not doubling their strenght and weakening every other factions troops!
