Playing online you can get away with just 27888, but for hosting you also need 27889 open.

Yeah, you also need to make sure that your firewall/router is allowing outgoing as well as incoming traffic (full server access) for Lithtech.exe and TRONSrv.exe.

And if there is an option to specify it on the router (if you have one), the ports should be set as UDP. Not TCP.

best thing to do is open the ports on your router. This might help a bit:
