The long awaited Title Update 3 has been released, balancing the overly powered Warthogs and increasing thier build time. They are also much weaker against explosives.
Prof. Ander's Leader Power has finally been recognised as over-powered, and is hit with the Nerf Bat to this: 50%==>25% Reduction in Research Time
Serveral bugs have been fixed, too, such as invisible units health bars still being able to be seen after cloaking, and the ability to scout the fog using the area select function.
On the other hand, the Historical Battles DLC (DownLoadable Content) adds 4 new maps into the firefight, along with 4 achievements related to it.
More Info:
• Barrens (1v1 Map): Difficult terrain channels units into killing zones. The side that controls the Forerunner artifacts will have the advantage.
• Blood River (1v1 Map): Secure base locations on nearby cliffs overlook this naturally red-tinged river. The soldiers that fought over its two narrow crossings gave the river its name, which has since taken on a greater meaning.
• Glacial Ravine (3v3 Map): A snow-topped mountain range forms a natural barrier that cuts this region in half. Control of the two energy walls at the narrow central pass often determines the outcome of the battle, though clever use of the Sentinel Factories may play a role as well.
• Memorial Basin (2v2 Map): The high ground in the middle offers good cover for infantry, while the generally open terrain transforms organized battle plans into bloodbaths.
The Achivements add up to 100 GamerScore:
• Tour Coming Through: Hot drop 50 squads to your Covenant Leader in a single game on Memorial Basin (30 points)
• Never Leave a Man Behind: Finish a game with 5000 net resources contributed to your teammates on Memorial Basin (15 points)
• Drain Cleaner: Kill 20 enemy squads with a continuous Covenant Leader Power on Memorial Basin (30 points)
• Killjoy: Disrupt 5 active Leader Powers in a single game on Blood River (25 points)
