I would love to see it as a bulky meat-ball kind of thing ... somehow like this http://tiberiumessence.wikia.com/wiki/Visceroid but like a little morphing bulky body ... almost like this ...your picture is like a snail ...

omg ... light reset ... that would make it even worse ... SD would be like gamebreaking for me ... and on marathonservers the whole purpose is to have no timelimit, adding SD to a marathon server would be absurd but they do allow mutators, and who knows UT knows mutators can change the game dramaticly ... so i am sure some kind of this will come up ... hopefully not on all servers

I feel very comfortable with the regular endgame ... so i think if it is a whole game-mode (like you start the game in sd) it could be nice but in regular matches with a "pre-game" and then SD ... well, i not like this idea, sorry

i have to admit i did not read the whole thing ... sudden death sounds like "if the regular playtime is over and no team has destroyed the enemy base >> SD" if it is a gamemode, okay thats different!

I just like it how it is/was in renegade ... win by points, win by total destruction, win by ped-beacon I always felt it was pretty balanced ... okay sometimes it was horrible if your team was not able to get rid of pointwhores and you are under siege, but that was/is part of the game. and there are countless times a game turned around in the last minutes/seconds cuz (ie) a final team effort made a gunnerrush possible to kill the last building of the enemy ... or a single action defeated the pointwhoring team with a ped-beacon ... or a beaconrush ... i think the endgame should not be modified ... i heard someone was suggesting a concede option, i hope that will never come either ... that would be horrible!

true true ... could have been an other 3d realms ... more than likely ... and at the end there was not too much harmony anyways, some people were really mad they even concider EA ... but it could have had ended the other way around, some kind of blizzard story with C&C (even if highly unlikely) OR anything between blizzard and 3d realms ...

i am not for this idea

you would not have to do like you say ... I believe it would be more easy to just block 95-99% of the splash damage of shells and rockets through a wall ... and keep it close to the wall ... but well, we will see ... I think this big public beta is mainly meant to polish the game and gather the feedback of the community Bugfinding is not to much importand i believe ... i mean TA already said that the most bugs are found, and i think the public beta is already locked up just keep the beta comming and then discuss again about those things

Hmmm ... I always felt like the slow damage to the engis repairing a building that is under heavy bombardment was a good thing ... I not want to go for the "realism card" cuz imo that has nothing to do with gaming and specialy renegade but it seems valid that a shockwave of a tankshell would do some kinde of damage inside the building ... nuke/ion damage should still be stopped anyways but after all, even if all walls stop all splashdamage, RenegadeX will still be fun i believe!

Well ther is one dev who would like to see it, PermaGrin really, I would not mind not seeing it ... RenegadeX looks so promising already But like said, it would just add atmosphere and would be a great addition to the C&C feeling.

I think it only should be AI, no way player controlled ... with a serverside option to switch it on or off probably right, not too strong ... but a noteable danger and ofcourse with a low chance of spawning ... maybe something between 0,1% and 1% meaning 1 of 1000 tiberium deaths or 1 of 100 tiberium deaths in regular games there are not that much deaths by tiberium so you probably play a few hours b4 you actually see one //edit i believe that would not change gameplay too much, not more than those modded crates do. and it would give a nice extra to the ambiente and C&C feeling while in a battle

ah okay, I see. you are right ... I remember buying the old mammy to hunt down SBH ... sounds crazy BUT the splashdamge of the rockets, and the frequency you were able to fire made it perfect to clean a bigger area ... but a huge and massive tank like this to hunt SBH is kinda under its value

If iremember correct Microsoft wants the Dev's to pay money for beeing able to put a game on the Xbox ...

I hope to see some old DaDeth players ... from the moonlightshakers server, the very first 32 Slot server from Europe those were the times

He is just a horrible person ... I had some arguments with him, I always did stay polite and reasonable then he dissapeared for a while and I was wondering ... later I heared his girlfriend just passed ... since this is something I wish nobody to experience, I seriously did condole to him but he acted like a prick in response... simply ignored him from this point on His work is nice and he sure got talent, but his personality is horrible

True, renegade had a lot to suffer from ... and clearly EA , the pre-buying period and the whole restructure process after buying was not a small part of the problem. Hard to say what westwood would have become if they would not have sold to EA ... but I am sure they would have done a lot better without selling it! And the video ... loved it and still do ... Just shows the spirit of the company

okay, that never comes out, it always sounds like b4 it had only a single cannon shot and the only difference to the med was its heavy armor ... i cant wait to try it ... even tho i liked the old mammy aswell

this has been said many times: Mammy now has rockets and doubble cannon but that was always the case ... nothing new

Well I always had a bad aim ... I play online shooters since the beta time of counter strike (offline since the first Wolfenstein) and never improved my aim signifcant ... must be some broken connection between my eyes and fingers But thats one of the reasons I love renegade ... you can be very usefull as engi, hotty, tank, sbh ... or snipe aircrafts ... use railguns to kill tanks ... renegade has a playstyle for everyone!

we should stop talking about "him" this name causes problems even if he is not here in person

beacon pedestal was there from beginning ... was no mod ... and i liked it a lot ... a pointwhoreing team could still lose cuz they are focused on points rather than defending the base ... but defending the base is as importand as making points and kill buildings! I do not know about the damage values but orca and apache had the same weapons ... if i remember correct just first and second firemode was swapped (orca first was rockets and second was gun, apache first was gun and second rockets) since aircrafts were patched in later i believe they gave both the same weapons (and probably values) for balance reasons... the game was already out, so it would be hard to patch in totaly different vehicles without some counterunit (thats the reason i think of)

nice to see i am not the only ubersniper out there

how time changes things .. when it came out it had the biggest open-terrain maps in multiplayergaming

There not much, but there are ... I know those: Peggle Extreme America´s Army 3 Trackmania Nations Forever I think, IF RenegadeX manages to have a larger playerbase and the Devs can maybe proof some concept of anything new of value (like a new game that actually can be sold) ... it could work RenegadeX indirectly promote other games by TA but you are right ... steam is picky and capricious

As far as I know the team who did APB, and "he" worked on APB if I remember correct, took over Reborn as the third or fourth team to finish it. Seems like "he" is not part of the team anymore, according to his forumstatus there. When I heared that it kinda shocked me but it is long time ago that i was connected to the renegadecommunity close ... memmories can fail ... just how I remember it ... ----- BTT compareing it to PS2 might be the best possible in this case ... but to be honest, there is no other FREE game like RenegadeX I have a feeling that there will be a decent playerbase for quiet a while ... and didnt fobby say something about getting the game on steam? (Interesting what EA will say)
