  1. While this may be true, it still fits with the Renegade paradigm. In the original you could hit 'K' to check your buildings' statuses and this would essentially be the same thing but more streamlined.
  2. The HUD shows when a building is ~30% damaged by turning the icon a different color. While this is awesome and incredibly helpful, it would be more helpful if there was a percentage or visual bar that represented the immediate health of the building as opposed to just when it's at 30%. It would also be neat if when a building is hit, the icon would pulse red so you can tell the frequency of damage without having to rely on the unreliable EVA announcer.
  3. I have nightmares of being a nod engineer repairing light tanks while being stuck in my base in Under for all eternity.
  4. As long as they don't allow Under and Field to be Marathon...
  5. The weather effects look great in the Unreal Engine. I would definitely love this to be added as well.
  6. Even when I lose but the other team earned it by doing something completely awesome, it makes me happy.
  7. One timed C4 will kill MRLS, Artillery, Buggy, Humvee, Transport Helicopter, Orca, and Apache. Make sure if you're out in the field and someone doinks one on you that it gets taken care of. Engineer classes can hit them with their repair gun to remove it.
  8. Maybe because in it's own way, it's a good game? That is painful to read. The cookie cutter method for making CoD games makes me sick. Renegade X really is a breath of fresh air for me and PC gaming. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  9. I was playing islands yesterday as Nod and I sneaked in with an SBH and nuke. I placed it at the bar and then realized there were 6 others who had nukes right next to me. We all planted at the same time and had 7 concurrent nukes and 7 SBHs protecting them. All of this was completely unplanned. It's moments like this where the true beauty of Renegade shines through.
  10. Here are my tips: Sniper classes (Deadeye, Sniper blackhand, Havoc, Sakura) are incredibly effective against MRLS and Artillery in addition to Orcas and Apaches. One engineer can change a game. If your tank dies in the field and you're an engineer, repair your allies. In addition, if you're close to your base and there's a beacon, don't be lazy. Go run back and check. I've noticed that teams are very bad at sweeping for beacons and disarming them and that's why people think they're OP.
  11. I think that the damage an airstrike does should be a function of how close you are to your base. That way airstrikes would only be effective when used defensively which I feel should be their intended use. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
  12. 64 vs 64 on Field sounds like an absolute nightmare. I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot (3.048 meter) pole.
  13. How are updates planning on being deployed? Are there going to be delta updates or will be need to download the whole client fresh?
  14. I would agree with this. Field with 32 v 32 is just not fun and is a crazy clusterfuck. Add in airstrikes and it gets even crazier.
  15. I completely agree with all of these points. Chat needs to have an option for always visible and there needs to be a list of recent chat by opening the Esc menu. Commenting on point #2, in the original Renegade a symbol would appear of the character who used the ingame radio command. For example, "Move Out" would place 3 yellow arrows above the character who said the command and "I need repairs" would place a red plus symbol above their head. I would love to see something of this sort implemented.
  16. I find it okay for vehicles but not for infantry. Did the old Renegade had 3rd person for infantry? I don't remember it exactly - so much time - but I think no. It did and is how at least 90% of the playerbase play the game. This. 3rd person is a huge advantage and always has been and is a part of what defines Renegade. If they removed 3rd person I could comfortably say that a large majority of the veteran community would be gone in a flash.
  17. Dear Renegaders, As a life long Renegader (played with 56k back in 2002 and recently with scripts) it is very saddening how poorly some of the newer community members are being treated. While I understand that there are going to be highly differing viewpoints, everyone still needs to be treated with respect. From ingame to certain forum posts, if I were a new member I would feel as though the Renegade X community is rather severe and not very inviting. We need to be aware that many new players won't know what MRLS stands for or how Noobjets destroy Arties etc. In addition, new players need to realize that Renegade is a completely different kind of game that encompasses many mechanics that are very foreign. Jumping around like a chicken with your head cut off while spewing out red and yellow assault rifle bullets and orchestrating stank rushes is the norm in Renegade land. TL;DR Be nice to new players otherwise our community will fail to grow. Our community needs player to be a community, treat everyone with respect.
  18. Here's my server.bat file contents. I changed the admin password however, my actual password has no special characters. http://pastebin.com/download.php?i=nr9AqvKd Edit: Reinstalled .net 4.5 and same issues remain. Could this problem be completely due to the port I'm trying to host on being closed? Unfortunately at work I cannot open ports so what are some common ports that are typically open that I would be able to host on without conflicting with existing services on our LAN? Edit_2: How would a 30Mbit down, 4Mbit up connection fare with hosting a server?
  19. Hi all, I'm attempting to run a server from my work where we have 100MBit symmetrical line but I'm running into some issues. My server is not able to be connected to, why would this be? Here is a link for my log: http://pastebin.com/download.php?i=1dNhTXRj System is running Win7 64-bit with i7 3770, 8GB RAM, Intel network controller. Any help is appreciated!
  20. Do you have dual monitors? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  21. I hate to play devil's advocate, but is it not possible for a checkbox in the options to disable killconfirm sounds, or a slider just for the sound? A lot of people who aren't legacy dislike it. It might just be worth catering the option to them. This isn't about upholding the religion of the boink, this is about not being a crusader and killing in the name of the boink. This is about being friendly to haters of the boink, because nobody has to get into fights over the boink, followers of the boink can follow it AND be tolerent. Just my suggestion. The helix fossil has nothing on the boink. All hail the boink! Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  22. Uninstall catalyst and then reinstall the newest one Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
  23. If anything they should make the boink noise louder and unable to be muted. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
  24. I definitely concur on wanting more key binds. Switching weapons is pretty clunky. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
  25. This is correct. My laptop with Optimus required me to select discrete explicitly. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
