With exception to Renegade and Generals, the C&C community has not had much of an online tradition. You have to remember that we started playing C&C games before online gaming was popularized, and before Westwood Chat, which was awfully buggy, C&C 95 and Red Alert only had a sub-par online system. If I recall correctly you had to connect to the other player via phoneline. Also, most people used 56K internet until about 2002, which was bad for multiplayer games. So, most C&C players are used to playing the campaigns and skirmish games, but not so much playing the game online regularly. I'm personally a pretty hardcore C&C gamer, and with exception to Renegade, I don't really play C&C games online. Partly because the people that do would eat me alive ingame

That's so awesome how they chose it! I like how they brought a classic Westwood name back to life. "Tiberian" Twilight especially, that's a surprise, but something in me knew this would happen

Thanks for reporting this :lol:

Really? I feel the exact opposite - that the CG beginning of the trailer felt a bit lacking, but the end of it was what really made it for me. "Brothers, sisters, I have a proposition." :lol: I feel that it would be somewhere between average and best.

I could see Cabal in the background! :lol:

I'm not really willing to play an RPG game or MMORPG of any sort. I've always been an FPS, RTS, and RTS/FPS (Renegade) guy.

Fifth'd! It's coming soon :lol:

Congrats Decker. Hmm, worked on C&C Renegade and DICE games. Maybe we'll see an FPS in the near future?

I thought I made it up, but if it's from a C&C game, that makes sense. Oh well.

To me it's pretty simple - Nod wishes to achieve 'peace' through the use of power (defeating GDI by force).

Agreed. Agreed +1

They forgot the damn shaders for Max. It's impossible to add any custom models into the game.

Tell me about it. I know two people that play the game a minimum of ten hours per day, and often go up to 17 or 18 hours daily.

It could very possibly be a codename to Tiberium, but having it being developed in 2007 is not sufficient evidence for that. EA usually works on a game for a year or two before announcing it anyway - when Tiberium was announced, EA had said it was in development "for two years".

Be sure to vote Renegade X as well

My bet is that it will be a Generals game set in the future. Just following their routine: Renegade, Generals, C&C3, RA3 : Tiberium (canceled), Generals 2, C&C 4, RA4 I do hope, though, that it is not a Generals game. I think the only reason why I played Generals was because we went several years without a C&C RTS game and nothing exciting was coming out at the time. We'll see though.

An entire of roundtables! Good discussion guys.

Definitely saw this coming. I remember when they announced the game early in the year, the community did not receive it well at all. One of the first announcements of the game was that it wouldn't be getting a "C&C mode", and that instead its multiplayer would resemble Battlefield - that was an immediate turn off for most C&C Renegade fans. Same goes for the idea of the game revolving around AI squads taking over Tiberium spikes, totally not what C&C Renegade fans want. All they really want is the system of buildings, credits, purchase, and base destruction. After that unreceived launch, we didn't get news on the game for 8 months, and no information at Leipzig. Just Zonerunner leaving and the game being delayed till mid 2009. So seeing this game being killed off wasn't a shocker. It's good to know EA cares about the quality of their work. I wasn't too excited about the game though; simply not my style of game. I really hope EA gives a second try to a C&C FPS in the future, we really need one. I guess that gives more pressure on our team to make Renegade X the best it could be

You will need UT3 to play it. Not only is this EA's property on a non-EA game, but we'd probably get our asses sued by Epic if we even considered making it into a stand alone. This is not the W3D engine. Plus UT3 is literally 25 bucks over here, and its only getting cheaper. Buy the game when the mod comes out and I guarantee you the Colonel's Chicken Bucket will cost more than UT3 + Renegade X.

Renegade X --> Bringing C&C Renegade to the Unreal Engine 3 Hey guys. It's been a long time since you've heard from us, and some people have been wondering what has been happening in the mod. It's true, we haven't had a major update for almost two months. We thank those who have been patient, because the September update is finally here, and we've got some goodies to show you! Website is Live! In case you haven't noticed yet, but Renegade X has gotten a new website. Check out things like updates, trailers, media, and information. We plan on adding a lot more to the website as time progresses, such as more information on the mod, unit profiles, wallpapers, and possibly a tutorial section for those who want to help out with the project. Check it out at www.renegade-x.com ! September Podcast The team's finally gotten its third podcast live. In this podcast, which features Fobby, Havoc89, Killa and JeepRubi, we discuss some important issues at hand, such as the status of the mod, and some cool new features you will only find in Renegade X. It's very informative and funny, and it's only a little over 13 minutes long. So what are waiting for? Hear about the Renegade revolution down the street by downloading the podcast here: http://renegade-x.com/staff/September_Podcast.rar Video Presentation! We've composed our first-ever video demonstration. Our older videos have shown awesome ingame and CG stuff, but in this video, edited by Havoc89, we take a look at a couple Renegade X features: -Stealth Effect: You asked for it, and you got it: an awesome stealth effect for Renegade X. It's still a work-in-progress, but the video should give you a good idea of how it will look like once its ingame. In this video, Havoc89 goes around a test map with his stealth tank and fights other ones. -Damage/Dirt Demonstration (DDD): We wanted to show you all a Renegade X feature you will not find anywhere else. Basically, the more distance you travel in a vehicle, the dirtier your tank will look. The dirt layer works with both dirt and snow, depending on the map you are playing in. By the same token, the more damage your vehicle takes, the more ravaged it will look as a result of that damage. If your vehicle is heavily damaged, you will see some scratches, dents, and burn marks scattered around the vehicle. Havoc89 goes over the feature and gives you a visual in the Video Presentation. (The video is a tad choppy, because Adobe Premiere doesn't feel like working properly) WATCH THE VIDEO HERE!

We've gotten two more songs done: 'Move It' and 'Blinded'. Move It is a remake of the Renegade classic, while Blinded is an original, with some inspiration taken from Avenged Sevenfold's "I Won't See You Tonight" song. You could find all of our songs, including the latest two, here: http://www.moddb.com/mods/renegade-x/downloads GDI M1A1 Medium Tank The original "Medium Tank" was made after the M1A1 Abrams Tank, so we have decided to take much inspiration from that vehicle into the new Med. The Medium tank is GDI's main battle tank, which is good against pretty much any ground threat you put it against. It's heavily armoured, maneuverable, and affordable. Under You saw Under in our previous video test, and now it is finished. We've added trees, snow fall, bunkers, and some other things. Check it out! Nod Flamethrower The Flamethrower is back with a new, realistic kickass design! It comes with Nod's free Flamethrower unit, and the flame/fire will be more awesome than ever on the Unreal Engine 3. I can't wait to show you this baby ingame! Stealth Black Hand The Stealth Black Hand (SBH) is a stealth trooper that wields an automatic laser rifle. This has got to be my favourite looking character so far: it's been based off of the original concept art, made by our buddy TAS from Westwood, and revolutionized. Check it out! Nod Mobile Artillery The Nod Mobile Artillery is a personal favourite vehicle of mine. Not only is it very affordable, but it is also gives a tremendous amount of firepower. It's been brought back for Renegade X, looking better than ever. Media Platoon Do you want to help contribute to the Renegade X project, but don't have the skills to be on our team?
