Recon Bike...

[blazingshadow]

Has the development team for this mod any plans or ideas for adding the recon bike ingame? I know it wasn't purchaseable in the original Renegade... but have they at least made the artwork for it?

This is one of the most iconic Nod vehicles.

We don't plan on adding any extra vehicles. The only added vehicles you will see (later on) will be the the Recon Bike and SSM and possibly the GDI A-10 Warthog.[/b]

IF they add the bike , they should go for the beta model on this one , looks MUCH better ! (and doesn't have a 5 inch cockpit *cough* )

Hmm. When was the A-10 referred to as the "Warthog"?

[MightyBOB]

Uh, since it was built? It's a nickname given to it by its pilots even though it is technically the Thunderbolt.

ahh, silly me. should've looked it up, thanks.

Looking forward to seeing an SSM launcher in-game, though.

Awsome, it was a shame that you couldn't use it. Will look like a V2 like in Renegade or abit close to the C&C95 model?

[MightyBOB]

Well, it's a long way off so there hasn't been a decision, but personally I'd like it to be like the TD model which was essentially the MLRS, but the missile pod was replaced with launching slides and two big fat napalm Honest John unguided missiles.

Which is what I would like to see as well, I always thought that the V2 style Renegade has was just too off from what it should of been.

Yeah, I was thinking the same.

I think the plan is, when we start making our original-idea maps (aka non-remakes) in a future release, we could decide to replace the Nod APC with the Recon Bike, and replace the Nod Artillery with the SSM in those specific maps.

[TeamWolf]

Like the Renegade fan maps? Even though I always thought the Recon Bike should of repleaced the Nod Buggy.

Yeah I guess it is up for debate, as the Buggy and Recon bike are similar in the sense that they are both quick two passenger vehicles. Though of course the Recon Bike costs 500 credits.

i hated the renegade model of the recon bike. and the engine sound. I think the reborn recon bike model was right on with the TD model. it would be awesome to see a recon bike that looked like that in renegade x

Uh, the Recon Bike is a one passenger vehicle like the Stealth Tank. And if it wasn't in Renegade it should have been.

The Recon should really replace the Buggy and not the APC because it doesn't have the carrying capacity of an APC which would leave Nod at a disadvantage because of the vehicle limit. The APC is a critical vehicle to have.

[An4x1mandr0s]

Nod need the MLRS btw but yes APC is needed ... nah dont remove anything just add more slots for Nod (or are you too lazy to do that ? jk )

And Recon was/is a 1 man vehicle (oh plz use a better engine sound please! the Renegade one was terrible Nod probably designed the engine to deaf GDI troops so they could not hear the Flamers coming or something :lol: )

[[NE]Fobby[GEN]]

Alright good points guys. Though like we said earlier, things like SSMs and Recon Bikes have not really been discussed earlier as we are not in that point in the mod yet.

[blazingshadow]

Thanks for the replies, guys, I'm looking forward to the mod regardless if theyre ingame or not... I actually haven't played TD all the way thru, so I had no idea the SSM's were in it.

I did like the rocket sound the Renegade recon bike had, tho
