Hello all.
I am going to give my two cents and take from it what you all will. I see that silent knight has brought up some good points and I see that some people feel different about his points. So here are the points I would like to make.
Cnc renegade was a pretty popular game for a short period of time, with hundreds of players, and several clans. Many of them like me still get on renegade from time to time to bring back memories and fun times of a great game. I believe this game truly lost not because of its concept, but because it was ahead of its time for mmo. Many people had slow internet speeds, tons of lag, by the time internet improvements came along cnc renegade was already trashed by ea and unsupported yet several people still played for years to come. Over time there were no updates, to many cheaters, no new maps, no supported ladder ect.
Renegade X really isn't close to renegade at all. In fact I would say the original is 100 times betters. Renegade X could be 100 times better than the original game but its been ruined. The game play itself on renegade was excellent. Renegade X not so much.
Take a look as a veteran player and as a new player. Cnc renegade was simply a complex game for a new player to learn, lots of strategies and skills were required to get to the point were you could really have some fun and compete. Renegade x took a already complex game and turned it on its head. There is way to much going on. The different play status and damage done. The driving of the vehicles the sprint speed of character ect. All the way around the board it is just to much, recoil on tanks I could go on and on. Renegade X could be a great game if you truly just followed the excellent path the original game set. Get rid of the the extras, put the buildings, damage, movement speed, ect all back to the basics. Simply enhance the graphics, enhance the ladder, stop cheaters, give the game was EA didn't and this game will thrive. All these extras and changes you guys made with renegade x made the game play worse especially for new players and veterans alike. This game is a strategy game and fps. I feel that it needs a good balance like the original. But renegade x seems to be going down the wrong road.
