Renegade X - Anyone In?

Worry not, I meant only the in game credits.

Then yeah lol. Grenadier is the free "anti vehicle" type unit for GDI, while Flamethrower is the free "anti vehicle" type unit for Nod. The advanced versions are some of the cheapest advanced units available, the 300 and below class units. They are the chem sprayer as a better flamethrower variant, and the flak launcher as better grenade launcher variant.

Yeah, I just be the Grenadier and Flame-thrower because I can't aim!

From the cool stuff I've seen, the flamethrower now acts like real napalm, as in it has a mild curvature. You notice it in some streams. When you shoot, it spits the flame forward and it falls to the ground like a stream of burning liquid. Pretty cool. I would assume that is the projectile trajectory as well, meaning at longer range you want to squirt it a bit in the air above the enemy so the arc gets them covered in the burning.

That sounds absolutely awesome, I have played renegade (a small bit) but never really played the pre-RA2 C&C games, don't blame me for my ignorance.

That's good, I can't stand games where the flamethrower just stops after a certain point. It's never easy to guess the range with current particle effects.

Well, they got their main page up. renegade-x.com

I have seen no less than 50 people ask for keys this week. I think Totem Arts should feel accomplished when they here so many people want it, albeit annoyed as well.

It is always this way with release dates and hype, alas.

Sucks they can't sell the game or even get donations. . i would donate funds to keep the devs working on it.

They said they want to give it an update every great once in a while, but move on to a project they can market. When I say that, I emphasize that the game releases for open beta on Feb. 26, and that isn't their official stamp of release, so their moving onto another project will not start that date, it will be months or longer down the line.

However, they are allowing anyone who has made an UDK asset like a map to join the development team. The result with be anyone wanting to be a modder or build maps for the game, to be a full dev on the project. The main team will still compile finished maps and such and release numbered builds, that isn't very work intensive if they were to work on another game or such. They just will no longer have to work on the maps or concepts for gameplay additions, the modders who submit for development positions will continue to do that while they just collect their work and submit builds including it.

I was actually thinking 'it would be great if EA would adopt the game', then I thought some more...

That post discusses the question on their forums.

I believe my direct quote was "some game developers like Totem Arts and Uber Entertainment portray their game as their child, to develop to be the best it can and money is no object. In that same metaphor, it is like EA profits off the blood of it's children and adopted children."

That's also probably why EA is nowadays following some kind of nonexistant succes formula for their games, not taking a risk with unique games like Renegade (and why 'Generals 2' was featuring Starcraft-like features)

I swear I remember playing this game just with much inferior graphics to todays standards. I had soooo much fun with it when I played it. So if its the game I think it is just way updated the I'm down for sure.

EDIT: Now I remember what game it was C&C Renegade loved that game! I played it to death and it was my first "FPS" I ever played.

This here, is the old game(s) that RenegadeX is based off of.

These particularly, are the Red Alert mods of Renegade, the old renegade which unfortunately atm means no sprinting or sharp graphics. Also, the servers are few and unpopulated, bring your own players lol. Not completely abandoned, just not a lot of people a lot of the time.

Just thought i'd post it here anyway. http://www.moddb.com/games/red-alert-a-path-beyond

You can find a download too for the original Renegade, as well as RenList, and play that, and that has open populated servers 24/7. If you are interested in the upcoming few weeks till RenX.

Thought it would be considerate: THIS JUST RELEASED.

Hey, it's midnight somewhere.

The site is up, go get it! If the servers are overwhelmed, go to the forums as a guest and find a thread with mirrors.

Then feel free to message here what you think of it and if you want to play with others!

It's happening!

Couldn't help but notice you used Pirate Bay... erm, I mean uTorrent.

Lol, jokes. Anyway, try this? http://rencorner.com/index.php/files/download/87-renegade-x-open-beta/

Probably mildly bogged down, should download right thing though.

It's going to take me 6 hours, to 3 years to download.

Typical!
