  1. Not having to care where you hit a tank has been one of the vehicle battle staples of the original Renegade since the beginning. Having to stop and take care where you hit a tank for most effect is less arcade, and more realism. Directional armor, I might be able to get used to it, but the spirit of driving Renegade style vehicles would be "hurt" in my eyes, especially if they go with detailed weak points. With Renegade the small bonus the flanker got was the nearly free kills on the "repairing supporters" (Hotty/Tech), take out the repairs and the campsite dissipates if your team pushes the advantage. Plus, blocking the enemy tanks retreat so they're stuck in the open to prevent them running to repair would become a less of a good idea than in the original. If you want your tank taken down in a few hits, I can think of several games where the tanks don't last long at all versus infantry, and an RPG up your tailpipe destroying an Abrahams is all too common with inf versus tanks. <(Just an example, don't mistake it as something else) I abuse tanks with Engineer type classes in those games, so I never drive them because of it. Original Renegade, it can be bad enough with Ravs vs a Med. tank or similar, if the Rav/PIC knows what they're doing. Just wanted to get my words in on this.
  2. Thanks for the answer and the name fix.
  3. You talk like you think I figure it's a big deal, I just want to know if it counts and whether I can get my nickname fixed... Also, I know how forums work, I own a semi well-known skinning forum for the original Renegade.
  4. I think over time, it would be nice if HUD settings could become user adjustable to a point via maybe an ingame menu, so everyone has the same ability to customize, but nobody that's changed their settings will find someone with the same choices.
  5. My question was more about the fact that I was around for the UT3 version. I can understand my lack of activity disqualifying me, if that's the case, even considering the age of my account. The forum group tag isn't automatic (and usually isn't for this kind of thing) from what I can tell, so that's not the best indicator. Again, I'm sorry about the thread necro, and I know it's typically taboo, but it was a mistake I never meant to make, and I did check the rules afterwards, and they don't say anything at all about the subject, at least as of last night, and with the relatively short length of the original thread, well..
  6. I was in the initial UT3 beta, and was wondering if that counts, as I have been inactive since then. My nickname is also incorrect, "BlackDragon" was supposed to have capital letters. EDIT: I'm Extremely sorry for the thread revival, I forgot to check everything about the age of the last post until after I posted my own.
