Renegade X made some large updates in 2010. CNCNZ compiled all of the major Command & Conquer news stories of 2010, and Renegade X is mentioned several times. Check it out below:

The first big news story of the year went to Renegade X, they amazed us in 2009 with lots of cool stuff and they didn't disappoint with their first release of 2010. Beta version 0.5 was made available to the public. This was the best release to date, adding new maps like Walls and Under, new buildings, weapons, and much more! Plus came the news that Renegade X would be going standalone, it would no longer require a copy of Unreal Tournament 3.

Even though it was well into 2010, the final results for Mod DB's Mod the Year 2009 contest were finally announced in early February. From a C&C perspective, Renegade X received a nomination for best multiplayer's mod in the editor's choice. Twin projects from Bluehell Productions, Red Alert: A Path Beyond & Red Alert 2: Apocalypse Rising from the original Renegade engine, were given honourable mentions in the players choice category of Best Indie Game. In the countdown to the Players Choice Mod of the Year, Zero Hour's C&C Shockwave placed 9th in Mod of the year, and Renegade X picked up a second award by placing 5th in this category as well.

Renegade X was back in the news again with a big update for February. It covered many things like Dr. Ignatio Mobius, the Volt Autorifle, the Aircraft Mod and more. As well as the really cool Nuclear Strike Teaser that was just so damn impressive!

The month of May was an extremely quiet month in the community. We would have to wait until the middle of the month for the first big news item. And that was the announcement of Renegade X's latest project called Operation Black Dawn.

A standalone single player demo, featuring the Unreal Development Kit. Captain Nick "Havoc" Parker is back, and in a new original level designed from scratch. The Brotherhood of Nod has captured the renowned GDI scientist Dr. Ignatio Mobius, and have taken him to an island stronghold. GDI's only hope in getting back Mobius is through the use of force! It will act as a preliminary demonstration and a first-hand experience of the new face of Renegade X on the Unreal Development Kit, and what it has to offer.

Hot on the heels of the Renegade X Operation Black Dawn news we wanted to find out more about it. So we had an in depth interview with [NE]Fobby[Gen] from Renegade X. It's a very detailed interview, featuring many new screen shots and artwork.

DECEMBER

We were now in the final month of the year. And Renegade X returned to our news headlines with a massive winter update. This "Winter Update" covered such topics as the dynamic lighting system, close up look at Tiberium, the return of Transport Helicopters. Plus there was a look at the new Sniper Rifle model. A brand new Renegade X official site was opened as well.
