I'm an old school Renegade fan. I haven't touched the game in years admittedly but when I saw that this was posted on moddb I immediately grabbed it right then and there. But then started the problems. I got two other mates to get it with me aswell knowing that theres only international servers for it (I'm from Australia) so that I could atleast try the game without worrying about delays. I had a lot of problems but I sure as hell reminded myself it was still beta and problems were to be expected. We tried a lan game which seemed forever to take to get them to join but eventually they did only to find the doors wouldn't open! This has been pointed out as a bug (it seems to do more with local games then it being a lan game as I get the same problem as creating an internet game) but we found out soon enough that we could escape via the Hand of Nod.
We blasted the windows and began our journey of discovery and just seeing how much potential this mod has but I still wasn't ready to judge it till I had played a net game. The Server Frontend wasn't working what so ever for me despite re-installs and patches, I was about ready to give it up soon after my mates did. Persistence seemed to have payed off as I was able to join the UK 1 server. As expected, delays and the such but I still managed to give the game a good whirl. There were several issues with which team won the game and/or how but the vehicles and infantry units were working as expected. I was still a little peeved that I never got the chance to put down a super weapon but that was my fault for getting killed by a ridiculous defense
The game has its issues but I just want to remind everyone its still in beta! If the videos aren't enough to get you to keep trying and to keep playing then take my word for it because this game is....
AWESOME
