Today we have the new v1.05 new patch for Command and Conquer 3 and since there hasn’t been a new patch for a while this one packs in a lot of changes. There is the usual bug, exploit and balance changes but this also includes 4 new multiplayer maps for you to play with. With all the changes and added content that comes with this patch this is an essential update for all Command and Conquer 3 players. An AAA title like this gets special treatment from EA so expect many more patches to come.

Excerpt from full changelog:

• Some structures on each side no longer provide Ground Control
  for base expansion. These include: Power Plants, Reactors,
  Tiberium Silos, Barracks, Hands of Nod, and Portals.
• Heavy infantry units’ resistance to CANNON damage increased by
  45%. This affects GDI’s Zone Troopers and Commando, Nod’s Black
  Hand and Commando, and Scrin’s Shock Troopers and Mastermind.
  All other infantry resistance to CANNON damage increased by 25%.
  This change means infantry are less vulnerable to tank shells and
  similar weapons.
• Infantry armor penalty to SNIPER damage removed. This change
  makes infantry slightly less vulnerable to Nod Shadow Teams in
  particular; GDI Commandos and Sniper Teams, Nod Commandos, and
  Scrin Buzzers are still highly lethal against enemy infantry.
• Infantry attack range bonus while garrisoned reduced by 25%.
• GDI Commando, Nod Commando, and Scrin Mastermind units can no
  longer be crushed by enemy vehicles.
• CANNON weapons, such as those found on the GDI Predator Tank and
  Nod Scorpion Tank, now cannot miss against moving enemy vehicles.
• GDI, Nod, and Scrin Harvesters’ cost/build time increased by 40%
  to 1400/14. Standardized all Harversters’ speed and turn rate.
  Specifically, the Scrin Harvester is now slightly more
  maneuverable than before.
• GDI Refinery, Nod Refinery, and Scrin Extractor sale price
  reduced by 70% to 300 credits.
• GDI Engineers, Nod Saboteurs, and Scrin Assimilators now
  capture enemy structures or repair allied structures as soon
  as they reach the edge of the structures.
• Standardized the speed of GDI Surveyor, Nod Emissary, and Scrin
  Explorer base expansion units. Specifically, the Nod Emissary and
  Scrin Explorer now move 50% more slowly to match the GDI Surveyor.
• Repair Drones for all sides can now repair vehicles that are
  under attack. Limit one Drone per vehicle. Rate of repair is now
  constant, rather than a percentage based on the vehicle’s total
  health. This means vehicles with lower maximum health will be
  repaired faster.
• Standardized repair radius on all structures. As a result, the
  radius on all aircraft production structures has increased.
• Re-stealth time doubled for units that do not have innate
  stealth effects, such as units affected by Nod’s Cloaking Field.
  This means such units will take longer to regain stealth after
  attacking or being detected.
• Standardized the amount of Ground Control provided by a GDI
  Crane, Nod Crane, or Scrin Foundry. Specifically, the amount of
  Ground Control gained by building a Nod Crane or Scrin Foundry
  has increased by 50%.
• Tiberium Spike tech structure’s income increased by 66% to 25
  credits per unit of time.
• Defensive Tower tech structure’s attack power increased by 60%.
• Visceroids are now punishable by crushing.
