Dehumanization Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I was watching Renegade videos on youtube and i was watching something called Harvester Walking in which a SBH has the enemy harvester between him and the guard tower to gain access into their base. Reading comments, i learn that doing that is frowned upon. I was wonderer what other things are deemed that way in renegade since i'm a noob.

Totem Arts Staff [NE]Fobby[GEN] Posted August 16, 2009 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted August 16, 2009 I used to be pretty involved in clanwars, and most that I had been involved in had some very specific rules, but "no harvester walking" was not one of them. It may be deemed cheap, but it is a legitimate strategy that does not involve cheats or glitches in any way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demigan Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 There are several glitches and bugs in the game that I defenitely want out. But Harvy walking is just about the only stragetic that uses a rather indirect bug (as long as the AGT can't see you directly it will not fire) but is very easily to counter. It requires some amount of skill and patience to pull it off and even then you can easily be shot down after you plant your beacon do to having no backup. Whereas other stragetics, like refhopping, is almost impossible to counter once an enemy places his beacon, and it was defenitely never, ever intended for anyone to get up there. Yours sincerely, Demigan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R315r4z0r Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Harvester walking is only deemed illegal by those who don't like to think and don't like to lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dehumanization Posted August 16, 2009 Author Share Posted August 16, 2009 Are you able to plant a beacon ontop of a harvester as it is returning back to base? That would be funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Arts Staff [NE]Fobby[GEN] Posted August 16, 2009 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted August 16, 2009 That is impossible, the beacon just spawns under the vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techno Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Harvester walking is completely legit. I was around when it first started showing up and people were amazed at how the SBH could have gotten to the back of the GDI Refinery when the AGT and PP were still up. It's a great tactic and the only people who hate on it are mostly noobs. Harvester walking is easily countered by spraying a few bullets on the side of the Harvester when it comes near your Power Plant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R315r4z0r Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I can actually say I thought of the idea to harvester walk on my own in a skirmish game, before I got an internet connection. But when I started playing online, I was disappointed to see that someone else came up with the idea first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[CNC]PlagueNXC Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 If there is a "no, no," in Renegade it would definitely be obelisk walking. Everyone hates that. Glass shooting, sniping ppl under maps, and planting the nuke inside the solid part of the cieling above where the vechs spawn, are also "no, no's."

havoc9826 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 ^-- those, and sniping from inside the bridge on City_Flying. Also, planting a beacon inside/above the barracks MCT where it can't be disarmed, and deliberately planting timed c4 inside the MCT where it can't be disarmed.

Dehumanization Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 In a match last night i was an SBH and during a major tank rush i ran into the GDI factory garage and placed a beacon before i was killed by a purchased APC, the match was over before the nuke came so i don't know if when i place it, does it disappears when the garage door closes or thats not allowed due GDI not able to get in there.

An4x1mandr0s Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 it is allowed , they can u know , not buy a vehicle when they find it there Oh , and it's not a Garage <_< it's a Nano-assembly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLaZor Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Not really, it's perfectly legit to do this as I'd imagine people do this in REAL life battles. ie: walking beside/behind an enemy vehicle. The only thing the harvester doesn't use is it's rearview mirrors Woah, a little wild tangent there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaZiE Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Only 1 addition to the "frowned upon "acts of renegade. Buying a sbh and spending all game trying to get a sniper rifle. Just to continue getting cheap kills all game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An4x1mandr0s Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Extracts from the command and conquer 95 strategy guide : Tiberium allows for the creation of new items practically instantaneously (compared to previous fabrication methodology) at new beachheads. The process uses sophisticated Tiberium-inspired engineering combined with the latest computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technology. In this new kind of warfare, the focus is quality, not quantity, and quality here largely means the ability to deploy small numbers of excellent forces. Battles are fought in terms of hours, not weeks or years. This follows directly from the ability to deposit a very small amount of physically relocated items (primarily the MCY, with minimal fire support) that quickly become a larger force via the new Tiberium-inspired micromanufacturing techniques. This small, crack force can then focus on a seed of enemy aggression before it grows into a large, country-spanning tree, as used to happen back when nations took weeks or months to field a decent counter response. Tiberium has touched many aspects of human life (for better or worse); one of the spinoffs is this lightweight launch platform with a virtually inexhaustible supply of micromanufacted warheads.' 'the sophisticated apparatus necessary for Tiberium-based warhead replenishment makes the bazooka soldier an easy kill. In this new military age, every building has a core computer net that controls much of the operation of the facility. This computer net is required due to the intense combination of Tiberium-inspired construction and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). Together, these two technologies are sometimes called micro- or nano-assembly. The considerable computer capability needed for the nearly instantaneous construction of a building then becomes integrated as the core nerve centre of the facility. So yes , Nano - Assembly and to keep on topic : I once randomly got a sniper walking around as a SBH and was like "hey why not snipe a bit ? :P" once i came to a secluded location i started aiming and a millisecond before i fired , someone blew my brains off with a ramjet half a map away....never bothered sniping again since then <_< Oh and a Ban no no is to glitch the obelisk on hourglass (like half the team did yesterday by accident [but someone kept doing it and got Permabanned ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demigan Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 It always seemed to me that the obelisk had a AOE that extents only to a small area where it hits. But it can't hit infantry directly. Normally it hits the ground and deals the damage, but on Hourglass it can shoot over hill, not hitting anything at all or hitting something behind you, so you are out of the blast radius.
