Sojourner Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 I swear to Jesus if the beacon chime were any louder I would go deaf every time I was trying to clear a beacon, but I have no idea what they actually look like. Anyone have a screenshot of one (placed)? I knew what they looked like in Renegade. In X, damn, I haven't even physically seen one yet, and not from lack of trying. Quote
UncleRichardson Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 [ORIGINAL POST] They should look like the beacons from the original Ren. Small pedestals with a tall cylinder. They should glow according to what type of beacon they are. I'll try to get a picture (Don't expect quality. My computer hates the Unreal 3 engine). [END ORIGINAL POST] Got the pictures of the beacons. Hope this helps. Quote
Proteus Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 It's possible you couldn't find them because people have found ways to glitch placing beacons into unreachable places. Quote
Pyder02 Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Imba! The Ion cannon beacon is waaaaay easier to spot and to target! Quote
Evono Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Imba! The Ion cannon beacon is waaaaay easier to spot and to target! Not actually you see a Red flash faster ( Beacon ) as a Blue one Quote
Cherno Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Imba! The Ion cannon beacon is waaaaay easier to spot and to target! Not actually you see a Red flash faster ( Beacon ) as a Blue one ... Exept if it's "hidden" in the manufacturing bay of the Weapons Factory Quote
Sojourner Posted March 2, 2014 Author Posted March 2, 2014 Thanks for the snapshot UncleRichardson. Much obliged. It's possible you couldn't find them because people have found ways to glitch placing beacons into unreachable places. I remember this happening in normal Renegade, I'm used to it Just kidding. That said, I wonder if someone placed a nuke beacon in a similar circumstance last game when I simply couldn't find it outside the Tiberium Refinery. As far as I know the building isn't climbable, but I looked all around where it was chiming and simply couldn't see it. At least I know what to look for -- I was hoping Renegade X would add a little periodic flash, or flicker, or at least something to distinguish beacons. In my opinion, the difficulty should be on protecting it, not on defenders trying to compare shades of gray to see if that's building texture or beacon texture. Quote

I felt the same, which is why I always used colorful yet not-rainbow skins for the beacons in old Renegade. Generally, in this game they could have used more lighting effects for it. Meh, no biggie. More of a biggie, is a few places one can learn where it morphs into the ground. I don't use them, but there is a special place in hell for those who do. Quote
TotemAatz Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 I agree, it should be on the attacker to defend the beacon and not the defenders running around like headless chickens to find it. Usually when i plant a beacon everyone runs in circles and cant find it, some even run past it and other try to blow it up with C4. Quote

You can walk partly into the silo and place the beacons inside. Check there. Quote

Im an old school Ren player and I cant find the damn things with the audio of them as it is right now. Quote
R315r4z0r Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Part of the strategy of placing a beacon is finding a good place to hide it. Quote
