It will change gameplay anyway.

depends how you define "change" - it won't revolutionise gameplay and I don't think it should, but it'll make the useless stuff useful... as they ought to be.

- Nod Soldier rifle damage increased to match GDI Soldier rifle damage against all targets

That's not a bug I think.

I didn't say it is, but it's pretty illogical and means Nod soldiers are barely worth using... right now the only use is if there's an MRLS, humvee or orca in your base and you can't afford anything better, but even so there's really no reason why they should be less effective at that than the GDI soldier is.

- Chaingun Officer cost reduced to 100 (from 175) - applies to both GDI and Nod
- Tib Sydney cost reduced to 100 (from 150)

Why?

because the officer is not worth 175 and the tib sydney is not worth 150. for these two units, I feel a simple cost decrease is better than altering their actual effectiveness.

- Patch tiberium flechette damage against infantry increased by 100% - damage against other targets unchanged

Why? Does enough damage.

not to make it worth 450 it doesn't.

- Rocket Soldier (for both GDI and Nod):
--- tracks targets

Not possible server-side and impacts gameplay.

it'll impact gameplay in the sense of making rocket soldiers worth a damn against vehicles and aircraft, whereas right now they aren't... their only real use is against structures for points if the WF's dead

--- direct hit damage against infantry reduced by 50%. Damage against other targets unchanged
--- cost reduced to 200 (from 225)

Why?

the weaker against infantry part is based on their tracking ability, assuming it were possible.

- Chinook armour changed to Heavy Vehicle (from Light Vehicle) giving it the same durability as a Stealth Tank

Why?

because they're not worth their cost, and in this case, there's a simple and viable way to make them worth that cost.

- Nod Turret rate of fire and damage increased to match that of the Medium Tank

Why? Fire rate and damage are quite good. Aiming is the problem.

uh, dunno what game you're playing but the turret's fire rate and damage are absolutely pathetic.
