    So how are Nod players handling Mammoth rushes?

    in Renegade X

    How was raveshaw nerfed?

    If you want an un-nerfed artillery, go and play the original renegade, where you can just point whore, and as long as you have a techie or two behind you, absolutely dominate every single thing in the game from across the map for $450... It was never fun being GDI in these cases, most maps favoured Nod just because of the arty.

    There's a reason why it was changed in Rengade X, and that is because the arty was OP in Renegade.

    As for the airstrikes, i think it's Rencorner that has the $1500 airstrikes, almost no one buys them. I think a price increase for the airstrike is all that may be needed.

    Problem is MRL got buffed and Arty got nerfed. A lot of issues really. Grendiers got buffed and Flamethrowers stayed crappy like the original.

    Nod is very underpowered atm since things like tunnel nuking are gone and it's incredibly difficult for Nod to nuke structures anymore if base defenses are up. Mammoth is the new Med tank. Raveshaw has really long cooldowns now on his shots and a reload every 4 shots. Also his damage feels really bad.

    GDI was never bad in the original, but now it just feels terrible playing Nod or playing against them. Nod feels like the underdog in a game with only 2 factions. They need a lot of tweaks if GDI is going to stay as is.

    At least one server increased Airstrikes to 2500. And plus, GDI can use airstrikes too when you try to counterpush, and more often because they'd have more credits due to controlling the field.

    Really nothing Nod can do, which is why they lose Field so often.

    Unnerf the artillery!

    This man knows what is up. They need to un-nerf Raveshaw. The 1000 credit anti-vehicle unit nerf hurt Nod way more then it did GDI. Also curious to see how the Airstrike nerf works out.

    Is it just me or does Nod feel really bad?

    I'm an old school player, was in SFV back in 2003 fought against KOSS and NXC a few times.

    I've been waiting for this remake for some time now and I have a rant to go on. I love GDI, always been my favorite, but I'm noticing a trend here. Nod hardly wins, at least in my games.

    The good

    -Artys new blast radius and arcing shot is nice for taking out engineers

    -SBH with nukes still great

    -Flame tank still decent

    The bad

    -Flamethrower and Chem trooper feel terrible. Like if I'm not shooting a MCT I might as well have been a different unit

    -Stealth Tank damage is weak and almost never worth purchasing. It always shined on maps like Volcano and Complex which are not here yet. It's pretty much worthless on the current rotation except for maybe Lakeside.

    -Light tank feels the same. Problem is the Mammoth tank doesn't feel the same and outclasses it immensely.

    -Raveshaw (and Sydney) the 1000 credit anti-vehicular units both feel bad, like "why did I spend my money on this unit" bad. I remember back in the day when you were flooded with med tanks on Fields you would get 5-6 people rocking Raveshaw and start taking them to town. Now I wouldn't even recommend wasting your money on him. Seriously there is no way he is a direct copy paste from the original. He feels really bad.

    -Laserchain gunner is pretty inferior to Gunner, not a lot but it's not a good 450 credit tradeoff

    -Arty got arcing shots while the MRL got rotating missile bays with lock on. Arty didn't win in the buff wars here.

    -Medoza (and Mobius) hit hard but their range feels REALLY short. Did their range get nerfed?

    As it stands, besides Sakura, the most money I spend on anything Nod has to offer is an Arty or Chaingunner. Their expensive toys do not feel their weight in credits. I've been playing everyday since the open beta came out, and I denied it at first, but Nod definitely is in need of some buffs.

    If the map has AGT/Obelisk, chances are Nod loses the game unless GDI is just an overall bad team. Nod can't really beat a decent GDI team atm when defenses are around. At least on maps like Islands and Walls_Flying they can abuse SBH/Nuke, but if I load into Fields now as Nod I either swap to GDI or I log off the server.

    Nod needs buffs.

    Beta Applications

    Fobby[GEN]]The beta has not yet started. Expect to hear from us by the end of April.

    To get you guys a rough idea, about 75% of the applicants will be accepted.

    This post dang well made my day.

    Are people going to be allowed to stream or make youtube videos for those who don't make it into beta or is it going to be kept under under wraps until release? If streaming is allowed I'd advertise and stream regularly

    Seriously, this Mod could almost bring tears to my eyes. I've been raving on how Westwood was bought out and we were promised some Tiberium EA spinoff (2 years announced and still no idea where it stands) and how Renegade deserved a sequel. 7 years and you can still join in on multiple servers with over 30 ppl in it at 3:38am in the morning.

    Just letting you all know there are some oldies out there who are cheering this project on. I can't wait for this module to finalize and go public. I'm going to tell every single person I know about it. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for the best.

    Thanks Renegade X Team

    (Also a Standalone is going to be crucial to get a playerbase going. I really hope this is going to be possible. It'll make convincing friends a lot harder to join in on the fun.)
