  1. I very rarely insult a player ingame if I know they will take offense, even if that player is playing like crap or is acting like an ass. The best solution has always been teaching them the right way or completely destroying them, making them RQ and uninstall. Im extremely average at infantry combat in Renegade X, but in UT4 im scary, ive hunted assholes across different matches as a service for the community. Asshole hunter lol, prestige class. Players I know and like however, those i can insult and tease out of friendship. In UT4 the gag is that everyone sucks and everything is luck, because no one has perfect aim nor strategy and a prediction is just a qualified guess, those who can fathom and understand the top of the skillpeak are so humbled by it that they dont take themselfes very seriously among their peers. In renegade X I tend to miss alot of the bantering (if any) in chat because there's simply too much going on most of the time. "MIENS!!!!" and IIINNCCCC!!!! is what I read and type most of the time. I dont even understand the whisp function tbh. I agree that a games forum reflects its soul and playerbase, a place for long passionate rants and discussions. Discord just swallows everything, kinda like the ingame Renegade X chat.
  2. so much yes. I heard about it ingame during the time i still played oldren, saw pictures of the old UT3 mod version on google, it didnt look quite as it does now and there was no standalone installer for it, didnt give it much thought back then because UT3 had like 10-15 FPS on lowest settings on my build. wasn't until 2 years ago or so when i finally got a new PC i was able to play it.
  3. My alter ego hates my regular self, because my regular IRL self is an insignificant lazy piece of shit while my online alter ego (Wessmania) is a power hungry perfectionist down to the core. Im happy with sitting on the couch drinking all day and playing PC, not having to go to work, further nourishing Wessmanias ego. Wessmania wants to ascend beyond human limitations and have a "the strong should rule over the weak" PvP mentality, glorifying or compensating for weakness is a sin. I dont have much in terms of strenght or power IRL, by my own standards i am weak, and im doing nothing about it.
  4. When I join a match midgame I either go with a repair class or rocket soldier, cheap and solid support until I can afford a light tank or something. Also I go for tech buildings with free engineers, if my team has enough resources for vehicles and classes then me being poor as dirt is logically the best person for the job. I dont pay much attention the infantry paths unless the situation is critical or i feel greedy enough to try and solo kill a building. Field is where the explosions and cool stuff happens, thats where i wanna be. Wether im overpowered or underpowered in terms of veterancy is nothing i pay attention to. Being a field repairing hotty/tech is the fastest and easiest way to increase it, il catch up soon enough anyway. Also a hotty/tech can solo kill a building at any veterancy level hehehe. Pretty certain a recruit rocket headshot will also kill most things, me missing them pretty much always is just my own fault.
  5. Need dog unit character to counter.
  6. Welcome. I dont remember much of jelly either, stopped by once in a while but mostly just played the noobstories server.
  7. Hey nice map, haven't played it seriously yet though. Found a visual glitch that you may or may not be interested in, HIHIHI experienced it to. only saw it at the back of hon, setting texture detail to medium from very high fixed it for me, not for HIHIHI. Geforce 1080 something, i think HIHIHI said he had a Geforce 1050. otherwise cool map, looking forward to trying it with lots of ppl sometime.
  8. If you can defend for 15 minutes with nothing but a semi-useless power plant or such against an undamaged enemy base, you are the real winners. Its more fun to defend the last building than it is attacking it, and if can hold it for 15 minutes you can probably hold it even longer. Every second your team stands against semingly impossible odds is humiliation for the enemy team, Swinging while losing is badass. The idea of a commander calling in reinforcements does fall within the plausible lore of the game though, but it can't be an instawin condition. Maybe something like spending CP in exhange for an airdrop/spawned crate in base instead, for simplicitys sake. In such a situation i imagine both factions sending whatever they got within range as reinforcements, so a bit of RNG is fine.
  9. All about what map is being played. Smaller maps suffer more from having 64 players than a large map does from having 40 in my opinion. Id rather have my team resources stretched thin than have the match turn into a spamfest. Otherwise big chaotic 64 player matches on large maps are awesome. Have absolutely zero performance issues unless theres like 3 chinooks filled with people exploding at the same time in my vicinity.
  10. Im uncertain what they mean with remaster, probably they haven't decided themselfes yet since they are reaching out for feedback. I cant believe they even doing that even, its EA after all. A new collectors edition with updated support for newer OS would be a dissapointment since the community is already ahead of them. If they were to remake all the older titles in newer engines with added bells and whistles i would definitely be interested in that. Something like playing all the old campaigns in the generals 2 engine, that be cool.
  11. Those videos were great, pls continue making them if you have the time and will. 99% of the time when i mention this game to someone, they have no clue what it is, so i always proceed to show them one of your moments videos.
  12. lol, of course you can run people over with vehicles XD 100% legit strategy. Welcome to Renegade X
  13. 28. I have never seen a 60+ play anything other than solitare or like flash puzzle games, but when i get 60+ imma gonna be running the PC gaming room in the retirement home, future senior gamers will have so much gaming experience under their belt it will break every matchmaking system in every game.
  14. I dont think GTs limits options but rather add objectives, same deal with the SAM/AA sites really, or the destroyable barriers. Losing a building within the first minutes of gameplay is bad for server population, ragequiters... Having to deal with a GT before rushing straight to MCT with free infantry encourages teamwork since they indeed are hard to solo kill with anything other than rockets from a distance or with a tank. im aware the teamwork part doesnt always work hahah, but i generally have nothing against hem. GDI tanks that are impossible to kill is all about them hottys, and if you can't kill the hottys that usually has to do with the vehicle combat not being mobile enough for the defensive line to be broken. airstrikes fixes it sometimes, for a while. I see it all the time on small maps with high amount of players, ranted a bit about it yesterday in discord. Regular field with a high amount of players too often end up with one side just spamming the other side with both sides standing more or less completely still, just tanking, spamming and being repaired. snow is even worse, good for infantry combat, never good for vehicle combat. Whitout the possibility to flank tank lines its alot harder to deal with them, its a question of which map is being played and how many players there are playing it. The tanks themselfes can dealt with fairly easy i think, an unprotected mammoth can be killed by a solo rocket launcher dude with a good position and some time, even less now than before.
  15. Cool, tank gibs awyesss. Sunrise looks far more... sunnier? it really was gloomy and dark around that field ditch, well done.
  16. This is good dirt. I kinda hate royale tbh, feels like bright and dandy stealth-em-ups with RNG guns and RIDICULOUS respawn times more so than FPS games. and i kinda hate EA for being a souless juggernaut hellbent on accumulating all the successfull game rights and monnies in the world. seems like a good match.
  17. Im glad to know the exist but they look way too slow and floaty for my taste, shouldn't even be airborne at those low speeds. Recon bike versus that jet plane? I think the recon bike wins.
  18. I miss being a fighter pilot, highway to the dangerzone.
  19. Civilian faction with pitchforks and Volvo 240s, run by a single pissed of middle aged man taking on the world by himself, cus he feels like trolling. Godspeed!
  20. i see you got some sort 90s thing going on here. They dont make music videos like they used to anymore hahahah. have been carrying in UT4 with this on repeat for hours now, helps put the weight on your shoulders.
  21. This tiny battle grid thing is something I would expect from an old turnbased heroes of might and magic game, its pretty much the opposite of what made the C&C genre revolutionary to begin with. Gaming on your phone is a last resort for me, I would never willingly go there.
  22. I find the EVA/CABAL missleading at times because of it being limited to one unprioritized message at a time. EVA: SOMEONE JUST SCRATCHED THE PAINT JOB ON THE POWER PLANT!!!! Meanwhile 3 flame tanks are melting the war factory but whatever... XD tab is your friend
