  1. Could they make some kind of anticheat engine that does the same as Red alert 2 when your serial is messed up. Destroying you each time your re-spawn ;) . Would be cool to hear them screwing all around the chat that they die time over time. Than you also know who is the cheater and the loser with the lowest k/d.

  2. Firestorm]yeah i'm sure as soon as ren-x full ver. gets released everyone will try to get cheats :rolleyes:

    What is the point of cheating? When you cheat to win, why are you even playing the game? What is the fun a game if you win because a cheat, the whole point of winning is, that you like to win using own made tactics to kill the enemy.

    What is the function of an AIMbot anyway? why should you use it? To let people say that your awesome? It is probably a little bit sick, and says "Hey I have no friends, so I use cheats to hear comlimpents".

  3. I am going to try it, but what do I see, you gonna continue the game on the UDK :P. Still a long way till we can see this UDK version? Its good to see, that people slowly surrender the old engines and take engines that are up to date...

    Edit: The installer is it working? It needs a lot of time to load atleast...

    oh it works...

  4. No trailers but plenty of videos on the moddb page :)

  5. And finally, will we have the option to replace sounds and textures with our own? Maybe with an Anti Cheat hash check?

    I hope they will not allow it, editing means also hacking for some people out there... Give them a finger and they take your hand.

    Imagen a stealth tank with yellow stealth effect, it will pop up a lot faster, so people will make skins that improve the way they play the game. But that makes the game a lot harder to play for they who just want to play the game as it was suppose to be.

    However it should be cool to enable an option to select your music folder for background music... (but this also can be done by hand when you let your media player run in the background.)

  6. He means that the fact that Renegade was not mainstream in it's execution of the game.

    Renegade is only played, in my opinion, because of it's unique game mode, that allows for high tactical gameplay. Lonewolfing takes a LOT of skill to pull off, and usually still needs a lot of allies that happen to distract the enemy for you.

    Just look at how flawed the infantry system is, the money you get comes in so fast, that taking the lesser infantry rarely makes a good difference. Most people end up either as a mechanic, sniper, rail/PIC or SBH. While there is a shitload of extra infantry units you can take. They just aren't good enough for their price compared to the others. They would need only slight changes to be useful for their price, or a slight nerf of the snipers who earn too many points for their tank sniping.

    It's also in the tanks, the medium tank trumps the light tank so hard, that the 200 more it costs barely matters. People rather take a different vehicle like the artillery, that with backup can rip almost anything apart.

    The reason why the game is still played is not because it's flaws, it's because of the unique experience it offered. Some games, like crysis and UT3, now have half baked copies in their node-capture idea's and in crysis an incredibly weak spin-off of the economy system of Renegade.

    We know Renegade was flawed, it was almost BUILD out of flaws and bugs, the totem team is going to recreate Renegade now not as it was, but how it should have been, but with the modern infuences we would expect today.

    Now before you cry out 'but we don't WANT modern influences'. Who said they were the MAINSTREAM modern influences? The totem arts team knows perfectly what kind of unique game they have in their hands, mucking it up by giving it all the elements games like BF3 and MW#whatever give would only ruin the experience. There are a hundred games out there with influences we are dreaming about already in them! Dungeon keeper already was a stratagy-RPG-FPS hybrid, where you were allowed to be evil. Each element seperately usually scores highely, people always dream about these kind of hybrids, but in the end they lay forgotten. I think Totem arts knows very well that these kinds of unique, incredible idea's exist, and if it fits in the game, if it looks good, if it enhances the game, they will put it in, without ever dumbing the game down where the best shooter, not stratagist, wins the game.

    Let them update the game how they see fit, it will NEVER be exactly as we expect it, they can't, and even if they did, we would bitch about the flaws we didn't see comming. I'm sure that in the end, they will succeed nicely, so far there have been few people who actually have something really to bitch about. You actually rever them as gods in almost every update, however little they give (although they do throw in big news every time they make an update).

    Ooh, and for anyone who go tthis far:

    Bla bla bla, let me whine every now and then :P

    Yours sincerely,

    Demigan.

    Agreed on most part, but well every tank and most of the infantry has its function in renegade.

    Humevee/buggy = most of the time nothing more as fast transport.

    APC = anti infantry, and a tank to use in a "C4 timed rush".

    Arty/MRLS = good on long and close range, but they are weak in defensing themself.

    MED/Light = good in armor but are less effective on long range.

    Mammy = Slow, a bit more armor as de the med but not really better as the MED, because this reason this tank was a fail in renegade.

    Stank = Awesome for hit and run tactics, or for a suprise attack.

    Flame = A everything crusher in close combat.

    What about the infantry, the most important where, the SBH, the NOD laser machine gunner, the rocket soldiers, the 500 credits sniper (very nice to use because it has no trace, so you dont see where the shot was coming from) the technicals and hot-wires, and all the 1000 credits units. But the other units are almost never useful.

    and making more modern does means: "expanding the gaming formula", like they do with BF and COD, they just improve the gaming formula, making things modern does not mean that you start copy an other gaming formula.

  7. yes, i agreee with you.

    'modern' isnt bad, but i think everyone is just so fixed with the images they have from CoD and BF3, because they are the ''must-haves'' for common gamers, and appear to be clones from their earlier releases.

    'modern' isn't just CoD and BF3, it's 10x wider then that. people really should realise that.

    Was that not why renegade is still played even today? I mean, renegade has a unique fighting system, it was a perfect mix between using your mind and using the big guns. However even renegade could be improved, not just because the graphics or the net-codes, but also to fix the other problems we find on the battlefield. Also renegade was a rushed game title, so there is still a lot missing what could be included to improve the gameplay.

    I am not sure about the idea of using big maps, since the renegade small maps worked pretty good. They did give the infantry a nice change to fight back without tanks. But we will see what will happen when they put us in big maps. Probably it will work fine, since Totem Arts is doing well on coding there work...

  8. New suggestion:

    Make some additional stuff you could buy even when the WF and BAR/HON are down. Like a package of grenades at a price of 250 credits... Or something like that. (buy able light defenses should also be cool, but yea, that will maybe require a build limit and require more code work to make sure there will not be made to many). Because I believe that the airstrike will be pretty expensive and not usable for combat fights. More to use against camping tanks.

  9. "Angus"

    ..Sounds like a hamburger :V

    Damm you should be banned! the law book of pixels do not allow you to say that! How would you feel yourself when I call your Cake a hamburger?

    Mac Donald's hamburger tastes like plastic anyway ;) .

    Ontopic: why is that hot-wire girl wearing a machine gun?

  10. I meant besides C&C_mode yes. And great, one question less to answer. xD

    base building is for some kind of way C&C_mode, but this was not possible because of the engine limitations in 2001, the engine already lagged enough with that what it already had..... I have heard that they also planned CTF or stuff like that. They where already existing in renegade, but than more as a mod of a map. So probably they will come up with things like CTF, and maybe also base building... who ever knows :P

    How ever once asked, JAM will answer them to you, but you have to wait in the lime, I was a bit faster with my 20 questions he has to answer ;) .

  11. SOPA is one of the beginnings of Socialism/Marxism/Communism. One step closer to ending up as slaves to the government. Prime example is North Korea... The people are suppressed heavily and have a super government firewall like china.. BUT Nothing gets out much. China has SOPA times 10.

    Here in America we really have freedom going well for the last ~250 years, lets not burn what the constitution was built for. The fore fathers may have not known what a nuclear bomb was, but they did know what the end of freedom can look like, what government oppression looks like, and what a true free market looks like.

    It almost sounds like to speak about a conspiracy theories. But this sound a bit like the "one world government" conspiracy. They denied the web for decades now, but now someone is posting the truth on the web about what the country really is doing, (wiki leaks, and in the future new ones...) they start to build a gigantic blocking system? This will not keep to copyright protected files. They will use it, to hide the truth. In other words Propaganda will be the function of our web as it is currently.

  12. your english isnt bad at all ^^

    the Black Dawn campaign will be kinda mini, 1 to 2 hours.

    wouldn't C&C mode stay in multiplayer? or am i wrong?

    He probably means that there are more game modes as the original C&C mode. That question can you read on two ways ;) .

    Also we Dutchmen are a big game addiction group on the Internet ;) . So bad in English are there probably a lot (like me).
