[Renegade x just disappeared from my computer]

Went to play and it looks like steam has removed UDK or RenX from my computer?

 

Um why and what the fuck?

[What do you think would help grow RenX community ?]

Last few days I asked my friend (who I insisted him on trying this game but he stopped playing) why he stopped playing. The reasons he gave was already mentioned in here:

•  Very toxic community (I don't think this is the big problem for him since he plays games with equally toxic community like CSGO and R6S. But still a contributing factor).
• Game is very boring, I didn't understand at first what he meant but he explained it's because the unlimited timed games. I think it's because he plays 2 hours doing no progress and the game changer activities takes only 10 minutes to achieve destroying some buildings. He rather finished that match via time expiry where people will play seriously immediately after map change instead of waiting for people to start acting after 2 hours where most had already left the game.
• He thinks it is stupid other people are controlling how he should be using his own Proximity C4 - kinda disagree with him on this since mines are team-shared but I feel him, the game is forcing everyone to be using mines defensively (since it is the best place) when the possibility and creativity of using mines can do much more.
• He dislike how the price of characters contribute more than skills and he keeps getting killed by better characters -  He sees the free characters barely do any damage to a mendoza (well it's based on RTS so I tried explaining this to him and how mendoza are anti infantry specialist). He plays other FPS games where the starting weapon can easily kill someone with the most expensive gun (btw, pls buff shotguns).He didn't mention this but I would like to add that team-stackers may also contribute him leaving the game since I suspect he gets killed by them a lot.
• (in his own words) The game is a radio-spam simulator.

As for me, I stopped playing for almost 2 months mainly because I had trouble reinstalling and downloading it. It's just a small problem but the factors listed above makes me trying harder to reinstall it less encouraging.

 

This is pretty accurate. I feel that the problem is this game is that once any side starts to lose everyone just quits.

There is no point to play a game where you have lost a building in the first 2 mins of the game.

There is no penalty for cheating. It does not matter if you eventually ban the person for aimbotting or editing their game to increase their chances to hit a target. The damage is already done and asking people not to talk about it is fucking stupid!!!( that's like going to the doctor and telling him your leg hurts when you walk on it and he tells you not to walk on it then...)

The lag in the game is unplayable. If you are not within 100 miles of the server your lag makes the game look like everyone else is cheating. You can empty entire clips into people standing still and do no damage.

 

[Aiming and or hitting things]

Thanks for the reply. I guess I need to refine my question. What are the accuracy/weapon spread mechanics? Is it more beneficial to burst or full auto? Are there certain ways to use certain weapons?

 

I listened to the zigzag approach and that was the problem, jumping was causing my accuracy to go down zigzaging basically allows you to hit more because u are strafing your target left and right, rather than left right up and down.

 

Thanks for the help!

[Aiming and or hitting things]

Hey all,

Looking for tips/tricks to hit things when you shoot. I feel that the more I am playing the worse I am getting at hitting things. I am better at aiming but seemingly I now land less hits. I am confused on the tactics/function because I am trying to mimic other players by jumping around and trying to not get hit but they seem to just land as many hits whether they are moving or not. I cant tell you how many times i get killed 50% of the way through a jump dodge at full health... so after looking around there doesn't seem to be any areas for learning how to play.

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

[how finished is this game?]

Hello, first time player to the X been playing renegade since inception.

First issue hitting things. is it just me or do i empty entire clips into people and hit nothing? I wouldn't know because i only last 2 seconds because every bot never misses.

Second issue the controls. i played 5 different types of guys and got into every vehicle that the game would let me and only one actually worked(stealth tank) the rest let me get in and out and that's it... are there controls built for the player to use or just the Ai?

3rd issue balance... should it take 25 rockets to do 30% damage to a mammoth tank? 

here are some helpful hits i feel were lost in the creation of this game...SIMPLE keep things simple. its 2018 people fps shooters have been around for over 20 years now and the worst idea you can have is to try to reinvent the wheel. I get that you may have special vehicles and/or weapons/classes that require special ways to use them, however a smart person would add a tutorial or directions on the controls. Other than that...wasd, left click shoots, right click aims, secondary can be middle mouse button. Not that hard. i don't know why im shooting a rocket with left click and then shooting a rocket with right click. Lastly when i get into a vehicle the controls should be 90% the same as the controls when walking(wasd) for moving...this isnt need for speed i dont need a throttle. 

worst part is that these may be the controls I wouldn't know because they dont work in the game...

other than that and probably 50 more issues i wont talk about because i have not played enough...the game seems like a nice mod for unreal 3. it really feels like renegade.
