Was RA3 really that bad? It seems a bit campy, but not awful. As for Reborn and A Path Beyond, I have seen videos of those two. I even mentioned Reborn in the first post. (Also was why I brought up the katana, the only way to make it practical without something special would be by making the maps much smaller, infantry only size... Or replace the shotgun trooper with it?). I also have just earlier today played on APB (alone, wasn't expecting something standing alone to need help getting to the servers). Perhaps a question? Aside from Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 1/2, what would you all like to see conversion mods for?

Same as Super Monday Night Combat, Team Fortress 2, and Fall of Cybertron. I assume that's to the question about katanas? If so; while mechanically that is almost obvious, the extremely wide open areas would make it ridiculous to attempt half the time. Unlike most shooters, outside the base buildings Renegade seems to have a lot of open ground, even simply between said buildings.

I guess to sorta bring this back on track... In a RA3 mod, would hoping for all three factions to be playable on the same map (two at a time, but random which two) be a bit too much? Also, how would the Empire's infantry katanas work in an FPS environment? And what would their endgame beacons be with the absence of nukes? I could imagine maybe the Allies's beacon could be some chrono-distortion bomb or something, but what about the others?

I am playing through the original Renegade at the moment. Only downloaded it a couple days ago, not sure if/how finding multilayer matches works and I'm mostly just going through the campaign. I did get a match in of the multilayer practice as well, so I know both who the named characters are (for the most part, still haven't beaten it at time of posting) and that anyone who wants to be Deadeye can be... Though I will say your analogy with TF2 somehow makes me more accepting of it. I still would like something more 'generic', but I definitely could live with it as is. A minor, cosmetic nitpick in something I'm looking quite forward too.

I did and I am aware that the game is going to be like that... by default. Just wondering and hoping for a mod or option that might change that.

I'm wondering, will there maybe be an option or something that makes all the character units generic units? Would personally rather play as a nameless sniper than Deadeye, for example.

Looking around for other mods of Renegade, I noticed one that changed the setting to that of Tiberium Sun (Reborn). I wonder if there might be a similar mod for Renegade X, and perhaps something similar for Red Alert 3. For the latter though, would it be too problematic to make three factions, especially if somehow making them swappable?
