At least you're not getting 50 Shades of Grey.... Nah that appears to be a graphical effect. I'm getting it too.

No idea how this happened but our team was in the midst of getting Stanks when the C130 dropped a medium tank at the strip. No other details of how this happened apart from this screenshot (didn't manage to get a screenie of the C130 dropping it quick enough): As you can see it happened on Lakeside.

The Earth is a sensitive being who doesn't like it when satellites and missile silos throw all manners of explosives onto it. Let it be, don't be so judgmental.

He didn't play it, i doubt it. What he raised was reasonable for someone completely new to the game. As players who know what to look for when faced with a purchase terminal and where to attack/hide/etc, it can be frustrating when we look at newbies floundering around without a clue as to what to do. Take the purchase terminal for example. Players are given a lot of options when they enter it, especially with regards to characters. There are free characters in the main page and then another whole page for characters. Newbies will have absolutely no idea what to do at this stage. Without any form of guidance and when there are firefights all around them, things can get hectic which prevents them from making a decision or prevents them from realising that there is a good option to choose for the current situation. The game can certainly help in introducing a hand-holding aspect for newbies that can be turned off once they are comfortable. The other criticism about repairing buildings is a valid one and not something that is new to Renegade. Friends have told me in the past that repairing a building took a lot of the enjoyment out for them (when talking about Renegade). While I'm used to that and many others are, this just feels like a boring non-game element that adds a lot of monotony to the match for those new to the game. Tell me you wouldn't want to try out another method of repairing things that is more interesting and fun than just aiming at the same spot and keeping the mouse button pressed for a few minutes. Here the direct translation from RTS where you click repair and click a structure to FPS where someone actually has to spend time (without reward in terms of enjoyment) achieving the same result doesn't work very well. I don't see any sign of someone who hasn't played the game reviewing it. He certainly played it and he is making the observations new players would. Did he play it the way you and I would have played it? Certainly not. He is new and so too are many players right now. To brush his observations aside would be the equivalent of condemning the game to a quick death. Just because we like something doesn't mean it's perfect. Let's all be open-minded and help the game grow and reach a bigger audience.

I also seem to be able to get my missiles to lock onto things I cannot see, sometimes (or maybe usually, since I can't see them) stealthed units.

Listen to the man, cause he tells the truth. It was enough to send a chat message "STANK RUSH, meet at hand" and sudden organization appeared. Although in airstrike era it will require some distraction or good attack synchro to make it work. unless they look away from the screen for 4 seconds and missed the message A temporary but not very ideal solution right now would be to press the ` button and look at the messages through the console.

Maybe the loading screen could have a bunch of tips for newbies instead of just one rotating line of tips.

The auto rifle feels quite powerful to me. Just aim for the head.

Sure they do. Go check out Sims. I think you'd appreciate the realism of it, but probably complain on the lack of available facial features. Skyrim has 1000% more realism than The Sims. Check that out. Nothing gets more real than dragons.

Only aim for the head and use third person mode, as others have suggested. This way you can drop enemies really really quickly. Also if you're emptying 2 clips into the enemy when he's not moving and he can kill you in a few hits, lag is likely to be the culprit. Try to join a server with lower ping.

If you're good at it you can still headshot someone with the Arty from half a mile away. Happened to me earlier

Infantry from outside the GDI base can walk up from the 2 side exits intended for vehicles by walking against the rock on the side and going up. On the right exit (when facing the GDI base from outside) you can just walk against the rock. On the left you can jump up to one of the rocks and jump into the base. This doesn't happen on the Nod exits so I guess it is a bug.

Has anyone posted anything on Reddit? Never mind, found it: http://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/ ... _released/

Any chance of someone setting up an Asia server (or somewhere close to the region) so that Asians can play it without lag?

This is so amazing, there should be a game mode made for it!
