Random Crate Ideas:

[RoundShades]

Let me start this post, which for everyone to share random crate ideas:

My random crate idea is for a crate that causes tiberium burn effect permanently. So basically, you have 30 seconds to live. So, if you get this crate, you would go suicide at the nearest enemies you can find. Thought this was a sad twist considering all the instant-death-crates one is likely to find.

A good-result crate? How about one that overfills armor (sets armor at 200/100) for any character that picks it up. Would buff base infantry more but still buff advanced infantry a bit.

[Daedhart]

How about removing the freakin beacon crates! More than half the time, my dumb teammates will run up and grab it while Im trying to attack the base and: dead. Makes me sad.

As for actual suggestions, maybe a crate that turns you into a cyborg Kane with an OP weapon, like an Obelisk gun? Or a Mario star power crate that makes you temporarily invulnerable?

Random vehicle crate.

[Afevis]

Random vehicle crate.

There -is- a random vehicle crate.

[super_gsx]

Instant win crate.

Lol JK

How about a random weapon crate (for an EXTRA weapon) instead of the random character crate. That is probably what I'm most afraid of when going up to a crate. If I spent any money at all, I won't do it. I keep getting shotgunners.

Or how about lets get fun. Donation crate and thief crate. Donation crate gives 500 credits to a random person in the game. Thief crate takes 500 credits from a random person. Or maybe not random. How about the donation one gives to the poorest player and the thief one takes from the richest player?

Drunk crate. Makes your screen all wobbly and your character all stumbly.

Invisibility crate. Gives any character the SBH invisibility power, GDI or NOD.

Or how about crates that effect your entire team, like in the original CnC games? Like one that acts as a harvester dump? Or a lightning storm?

How about a crate that gives you a Ion Cannon/Nuclear strike beacon?

That'd be pretty swell.

There is... It just goes off instantly, kekekeke. :J

One that gives your character the SBH cloak ability. Of course you lose it if you die or switch classes.

Why not have it a timed ability? Like it lasts for three minutes so it isn't as easy to abuse.

Stealth crate would be cool yeah, like Renegade has. Also thief crate like in Renegade and a Human Silo crate which gives the team an aditional 2 credits per second as long as you're alive.

[Valor]

Suicide bomber crate.

After 30 seconds you explode in a nuclear blast (but this can't destroy buildings).

[Terekhov]

Suicide bomber crate.

After 30 seconds you explode in a nuclear blast (but this can't destroy buildings).

You could combine this with the '30 seconds to live' tiberium one above and make it a tib explosion.

How about a "doesn't kill your teammates" explosion crate? The current ones that do are stupid, all it takes is one random fool to ruin a plan if he's close enough to you. It doesn't add to the game, and is quite frustrating.

Tiberium infection : The crate is like the suicide bomber crate Valor suggested, but when you explode anyone caught in the blast gets infected and will continue on the exploding legacy.

It would be amazing to watch it go back and forth in the field tunnels

What about some that were in the original game?

Like:

- Shake the enemy team screen crate: shakes the enemy team's screens for about 30 seconds (not Lakeside's earthquake crate, but the true horror known as artillery fire next to you while scoping in a sniper);

- Ion storm crate: causes a lightning storm which reduces visibility, and temprarily disables your entire HUD;

- RenjackTM suit (vehicles only): the enemy team can't steal your vehicle;

- Tank destroyer ammo (vehicles only): gives you a limited amount of armor-piercing rounds at the cost of infantry/splash/building damage;

- Change vehicle crate (vehicles only): changes the vehicle your driving in in another random vehicle;

- Second wind crate: returns a part of your health where you otherwise would have died. Also works with vehicles.

- Noob here crate: a HUGE shiny arrow above you will point at you with the text 'Noob here' on it (one of UltraAOW's better crates );

- Butter fingers crate: removes a large amount of weapons from your inventory.

[Valor]

I remember there was a crate that gave you a vehicle-stealing gun. You'd fire it at an enemy vehicle and the people inside would die so you could steal it.

I've honestly never heard of any of those.

Don't confuse "origina gamel" with "modified servers." The original game only had two crates: 100 credits and refill.

If you either have played on Jelly Marathon, MPF UltraAOW or Kambot/Kamuixlite server you most likely will have heard of those. And sorry if you misinterpreted about what i said 'original game', i also should've said C&C Renegade.

[goztow]

The original also had 200 credits. Though that may actually have been a bug.

It was only 200 on certain maps - so i highly doubt it was a bug.

None of those were in the original, those were just modded in.

I know that... Also, someone else beat you to it, really. Try to read the topic next time...

I would also like to see this. It was in the original i believe.

There was a random weapon spawn. Not in crates though

[Eagle XI]

Infestation crate: Turns you into a visceroid, retaining control. Each of your infantry kills spawn even more AI-controlled visceroids on your side.

Jetpack crate: Gives you a single orca-rotor backpack turning your jump into take off for flight ability. If fuel expires in flight you fall down like a fly and dont have parachute.

Regeneration crate: Allows you to regen hitpoints out of combat for a while as long as you remain on foot.

Nitro crate: Overrides your sprint with a real fast one till it expires. Your sprint wont 'regenerate' till its used up fully. Entering a vehicle will cancel the effect.
