After Renegade 2 was cancelled, I was heartbroken. In 2002, Renegade achieved what no other game could, but it was quickly overshadowed by Medal of Honor and Halo. It was known mostly for its tacky singleplayer (high speed internet was fairly new at the time, so many did not even try the multiplayer), and so EA felt that an undersold high-budget game with a long development time did not need a sequel. 7 months after release, the game saw its final patch, and EA would no longer host official game-listing services or official forums. The game was completely in our hands. Its responsibilities were on our shoulders. With the proliferation of cheats, and a discontinued game engine, the community had to step up. And step up we did. N00bstories hosted the official forums, RenGuard was used for anti-cheat, hundreds of custom maps, serverside mods and skins were developed, total conversion mods were made (now represented by W3DHub), and custom patches were released. The ClanWars scene was booming, and years after release, Renegade still had a huge active fanbase. I started a little mod called Renegade Revived (my attempt at "Renegade 2"), but later I joined C&C Reborn as an audio engineer. At that time, you, Havoc89, had helped develop Tiberium Evolution (the very first C&C Renegade mod). You then went on to Battlefield Vietnam to work on Tiberian Aftermath. We had some mutual friends (like DarkAngel) but I hadn't really known you yet. In March 2006, I started Renegade X (then known as Renegade 2007). I spent a year putting together a team (trial and error, acceptance and rejection), putting together the first website and forum, and getting these new passionate volunteers to work together cohesively. I was sent your portfolio, and was told that you were working on TA2. The work you produced was the best I'd ever seen in my life. I knew right then and there that I had to have you on board. I remember having a long conversation with you about joining - initially it was a no, but after a while, we agreed that you'd work on RenX and TA2 at the same time. Shortly after, you made RenX your full time commitment. I did not ask for that, but I can't be more grateful that you made that vote of confidence. After some internal drama, we finally got the team we wanted together. We've had over a hundred helping hands over the years, but all we needed was that core 5-10 hardcore zealot developers to make it happen. You did hands-down half the work. You were (and are) a machine. Always learning, getting things done professionally, timely, competently, without any negative energy whatsoever. Sometime in 2006 or 2007, you sent me an article of a crime that occurred on your street. It turned out, woah, you lived in the same city as me! And you were the same age! And we came from similar backgrounds... it was a complete one in a million thing. It had to be fate. We became fast friends. In order to really teach you the value of Renegade (you mostly had public game experience in 2002-2003), I had to bring you into my clan NE. We were one of the hottest clans in the community, peaking at 40 members, and something like a 4:1 win-loss ratio in clanwars. You humbly accepted (when you did not need to), and you rose in the ranks. You played clanwars with us. We made impossible comebacks in public marathon games. It was at this moment that we were on the same page. It all clicked. We had to see through it to the end. And while 90% of mods fail, including Renegade Revived and Tiberian Aftermath, we aimed for success. Within 2 years, we developed the UT3 version. People said we couldn't do it. There were folks in the community who ignored us, then laughed at us, then hated us, but then we won. We did it (!). Make Something Unreal awards, ModDB awards, crazy download numbers. We were the underdogs in a new engine, just out of high school, coming from failed projects, and we struck gold. And it was all because of you. You weren't just a coworker, but a friend. We spent hours watching Arrested Development and Firefly together. We talked about anything and everything. We were bouncing off the walls, absorbing each other's energy, making jokes, playing games (RTS, Battlefield, you name it). After the 2014 release, I left you in charge practically speaking, and 7 years later, you've returned the trust in a better position than ever before. Look at RenX 7 years later. Full server every day, a nearly complete Firestorm, a great team and a great community. Renegade X was always bigger than one person - it is bigger than me or you, but if there was one person who this game could not have occurred without, it would have been you. All I did was some management, some PR, some audio, and checking in with the team. After I helped build a cohesive, constructive, self-subsisting team, I felt comfortable receding into the background to settle my personal issues. You spent countless sleepless nights, you spent untold amounts out of your own pockets, and you did so gracefully, with no negativity and with humility. You really are the model worker and leader - diligent, detail-oriented, approachable, respectful, giving confidence to everyone around you, creative, and competent (more than any person I know in the industry). You do leave a giant void behind, and I'm dedicated to seeing Firestorm through. It is our dream come true, our 360 degree return to what we wanted to do in the first place - a Tiberian Sun FPS. It's finally happening, and man is it awesome. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. This chapter was the biggest chunk of our lives, and it isn't over. I'll go wherever you go, because everything you touch turns to gold. I'm just the charmer, the hype machine, the idea guy, but you are the merit behind it all. Thank you. The end is the beginning. Cheers to new beginnings, new games, new pathways, new friends. Just don't forget the old. Nostalgia is in after all 😁 But we got there first. - Bilal, FobbyGen

15 years ago, we started Renegade X as a passion project. Our only desire was to create a remake and a spiritual successor to the game we loved so much, C&C Renegade. We've had the help of hundreds of hands and millions of fans. We worked on an Unreal Tournament 3 mod, an indie singleplayer campaign, an indie multiplayer game, and now a new Tiberian Sun-based multiplayer game; all with original artwork, music, coding, and meticulous planning and coordination. Our players know best that we have skin in the game. We update the game regularly and we listen to our fans. All this time, we refused donations - so as to avoid copyright issues - and we spent out of our own time and money. That was a decision we consciously, selflessly made, because we love C&C Mode, and we love a community that has become a big part of our lives. Now... we and other C&C mods and indie games have been permitted by EA to receive donations from the community. We're not looking to be compensated for our work, because we all joined on as volunteers. But, we have server expenses, website expenses, hired freelancers, and we want to pool any resources we can to keep the machine running. So, to all you who have wanted to donate to us over the years, we ask for your help to keep the dream coming true. We're proud and humbled that we've been able to provide you years of free, triple-A gaming. That will continue, and you don't owe us anything. But, if you'd like to extend your hand and help out, you're now able to. We can "shut up and take your money" 🤪 Thank you so much, and please find all the donation information below.

Players fight for two unique teams, manage their own economies, choose from over 30 weapons, 20 vehicles, and call in nuclear strikes, Ion Cannons, and airstrikes, and much more. Renegade X is for all players - lone wolves, team-based gamers, tankers, snipers, rushers, turtlers, and all others! The Renegade X SDK allows you to create custom levels, mutators, and mods on the Unreal Development Kit using our framework. You'll have access to all of our assets and tutorials for free. Download Now! Those who have Renegade X Beta 4 will simply need to open the Launcher, and you will receive an auto-patch that will download the full update. If you do not have the previous Renegade X beta, then you can download Beta 5 in full right here: http://renegade-x.com/download.php Changelist The new version will include: • 6 new vehicles: Hover MRLS, Titan, Wolverine, TicTank, Recon Bike, and Buggy. These vehicles are only available in crates, and they are not purchasable. The vehicles are also available on our SDK. • Improved auto-patcher for quick and easy game updates. • New crates, including alien abduction, Time bomb, Speed upgrade, and more. • Oodles of SDK upgrades and fixes. • Configurable air-drop times for server hosts. • Spies no longer show player names to enemies • A destroyed Refinery now gives 1 credit per second to players, and a captured Silo gives 0.5 credits per second. • Tier one characters (Officer, Rocket Soldier, McFarland, and Chem) are now purchasable and doubled in price when the Hand of Nod and Barracks are destroyed. • Secondary weapon upgrades price changes. • Map fixes and changes. • Tons of balance changes and fixes!

The next version of Renegade X will be the Full Version! It's been a few months since our last beta version, and we've been tinkering around, polishing up, and planning for the future. Totem Arts has been developing this game for about nine years now, and it is almost ready for that One-Point-Oh. We will be announcing its final release date soon. That being said, Totem Arts will still be supporting the full game upon release. The SDK allows our community to build their own server mods, total conversion mods and custom maps. The autopatching system allows us to make easy and continual upgrades to the game. We have also appointed a group of Community Developers who will receive the support and direction of Totem Arts. We plan on making one more big community announcement in the very near future, and hosting a cash-prize Renegade X clan tournament upon the release of the full version. Although we have a pretty stable playerbase, we are looking for ways to increase our exposure. If you have any ideas, go ahead and post them on this thread. You can do your part by sharing our updates with your friends, uploading videos, e-mailing gaming websites, and messaging popular YouTube gamers. We're doing our part, but keep in mind that this is a free project, and we can use any help we can get from our community! We and our community have been actively discussing ways we can improve the RenX experience. Join the discussion, we're listening and involved: viewforum.php?f=13 Our SDK has thousands of downloads, and we are already seeing some cool custom maps and mutators being developed.

To clarify about the Havoc/Sakura changes: they have two timed C4s in Beta 4, which is not enough to kill a building, but enough to change the way they are played. Right now in Beta 3, I think we can all agree that the ramjet is broken. It instantly kills free infantry from unlimited ranges without any required skill - even if it's a body shot. It also rapes Orcas and light vehicles. In RenX, there are more anti-aircraft options than in the original Ren, so the ramjet needed to be adjusted vs. light armour accordingly. So in beta 4, a body shot with a ramjet takes down most of the health of a free infantry , but not all of it. This would actually give losing teams and new players more of a fighting chance, rather than being shot from halfway across the map as soon as they pop out of a building. Renegade is an arcadey game, and insta-kills with little skill are out of place. Now if we just nerfed the ramjet, making it weaker against light vehicles and infantry, it wouldn't be worth two deadeyes. The deadeye can still headshot infantry at the same rate as the Ramjet, doing the same damage, and its projectile is far more discreet. The timed C4 idea was a way to improve this class without making it as cheap as it was in beta 3. It changes the way that the game is played, in my opinion, for the better. Instead of making the ramjet just a better, pricier sniper, it makes it a different class. It means that Havocs/Sakuras will be able to do more risky base-infiltration commando tactics rather than just stay perched far away from the action until its ammo is depleted. In situations where a losing team cannot fight against the ramjets that are raping their bases, some of those ramjets would actually be moving up, making themselves more vulnerable. If they succeed, however, they can take out most of a building. They'd still need outside help to destroy it, so they're not as powerful as hotwires, but it's an alternative that I will use. There will be moments where base infiltration will get me killed, and there are other moments where I will be rewarded for my risk-taking tactical work. The damage against heavy vehicles and the spread are more WIP changes that we'd like to see tested. We're testing Beta 4 more than any other beta since Beta 1. If we find that EKT and Matrix don't like those changes, I have no problem with removing them. But you can understand why those changes are there. Ramjet spread doesn't mean you won't be able to shoot from the hip - it just means that you won't be able to do it from halfway across the map. As for heavy vehicle damage increase, I think it may have been nerfed slightly since this changelist was created, but we shall take feedback on that as well. As for EMP, we like the idea of having it damage mines over time. This would mean that it would take 10 seconds to disarm a group of mines - a defending team would certainly notice its effect. Remember that the EMP is a C4-replacement, which means that SBHs would need a few friends before destroying a building. The idea behind this would be to effect mine-clusters. When the entire mine limit is being used to defend one building, it's OP. Again though, the EMP changes will be tested and potentially removed if it is not well-received. We are throwing around other ideas as well.
