I agree with everything, save for the one hit scenario. Yes Im biased. Since most people arent snipers, I think the onslaught of the two teams wouldnt balance out. Big, juicy MCTs and tanks, however, get giant please-shoot-me targets painted on their faces. As a note, I did see somebody specifically say double price for purchases.

I believe the new mammy's rockets are short range like its predecessor. I believe the purpose is to use the rockets for defense while the main cannon attacks far away units or buildings. It is very worthy, but Im so rooted in the old ways that it will take quite some getting use to for me.

I agree. Would be funny, though. Thats got Youtube troll vid written all over it.

That was definitely in the original. I remember because it was literally the only reason I ever used the rockets on the mammy (since only the cannon or rocket could be fired at any one time). The rockets were further back, so werent affected by that clipping issue. With the new mammy, I hope they fixed that.

Youre cruel. Since you said that, I went to check out the RenX thread on ren forums and now Im sad. He seems to be even worse than in the old days. I take back my previous statement, I dont want him here...

DX10 and DX11 mostly improve on lighting and shadow effects. Such things require more elbow grease to program for (lighting object locations and angles, shadow depth and intensity, and stuff like opacity and obstruction). So just switching up to DX10 without that extra programming isnt going to make the game look much better. @BroTranquilty Which games have you played that only work on x64? I cant say about Planetscape 2 since I never played it, but I dont think Ive played a single game recently that even had a 64 bit version, let alone not include a 32 bit version. Im mostly just curious, since most OEM computers shipping these days still ship with x86. And Windows doesnt use much background power aside from an increase in RAM usage, but if you dont have 4Gb of RAM nowadays, Id say your computer was something like 5 years old. Graphics and CPU processing power is hardly touched by Windows after the initial boot.

Hmm, stale memories. I guess it has been something like 5 years since I played. Maybe I need to install Ren again and play a few matches.

Heheh, not saying I dont appreciate quick movements, I just have really bad motion sickness. Im weird though: as long as Im driving, I dont get sick. Once I get in the game and start whipping the camera around, Ill be fine.

They have a mammy in Black Dawn that operates probably the same as in RenX that you can take for a test drive. Being able to shoot both cannon and rockets at the same time will definitely take some getting use to for me, especially when they made both guns need to reload like APCs, so you never want to just shoot one bullet or else find yourself with only one bullet still loaded when you really need more in a moment's notice.

I think somebody watching that who wasnt use to the arcade-style quick-mouse-movements would need to puke afterwards lol.

The beacon pedestal was never added in official maps, if memory serves. It was a kind of mod that many servers didnt go along with (honestly, I hated the idea). In the original, the orca could do more damage and had a splash attack (rockets), but the apache had a more accurate, instant attack (mini-gun). Now both of them have a mini-gun and rockets, similar to how the mammoth can fire both rockets and turrets at the same time.

I would love to see ACK get up in here. Certainly increase the drama and entertainment value... You have to admit...nobody else has affected C&C FPS more than him...

Who invited you? Awesome. Im surprised how much this is being talked about on external sites. Really sets it apart from your normal fan-fare that exists only for niche appeal.

Play it and if you like it, you like it; if you dont, you dont. Deep down, I dont think I can expect others to appreciate this game as much as I do, since I have the nostalgia factor (as does pretty much everybody else on here). I do expect them to try it, though, and to give it a genuine chance. Was it worth it? That can be asked of pretty much anything you do. Is it worth it for me to sit on my bum playing video games and watching movies all day? ...hell yeah!

Sweet. Yeah, I dont think it would be that hard to code since theres already a flag to determine if you died from tiberium exposure (your skin melts off in the game, right?). I asked him on Youtube and referred to it as a mutant. He might have misunderstood.

Yeah, EA pretty much took a giant shit on the C&C franchise yet they're not gonna let TotemArts profit a little from it. Took a shit on all Westwood IP. RIP Earth and Beyond

Im pretty sure UDK doesnt require x64. Im also pretty sure its based on DirectX instead of OpenGL. http://www.unrealengine.com/udk/documentation/readme/

Aww, talk about a buzz kill. Ill agree to let Nod have the recon bike if GDI gets an armored dinosaur with frickin laser beams attached to its head.

Im sure if Valve is such an awesome publisher, theyd have no problem with RenX. /sarcasm Anywho, its possible Valve would allow it on Steam if they got ad revenue from it, but the only ads on Steam are for Steam. If you look at something similar, like Black Mesa, they even started charging for that to put it on Steam. Valve may play the negotiator and try to convince EA to allow such a thing, but considering how obsessed EA is with Origin, I doubt it.

I asked the same thing; the answer was no (answer given by Jam).

There are a great many changes that cannot be simply said. I suggest checking it out when released.

Im thinking most of the peeps on these forums are EU peeps. Im from the grease horking US, though.

Because

I agree, but the silver lining is that such a policy will keep them honest. Not that Im saying they wouldnt be otherwise, but many independent things start well and then fall into the wrong hands.

I cant remember much from Tiberium Dawn, but I seem to recall not liking it.
