DoMiNaNt_HuNtEr Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 The original Renegade has a server called "MPF UltraAOW NewMaps." And it has RECON BIKES, WOOOOOOOOOOO! Oh man, its funnest thing ever driving it, its slow to accelerate but oh my god you can reach HIGH AS FUCK top speeds. So you build up speed in your base, and then just zoom zoom zoom thru all the battles happening on the map, and DO NOT STOP or HIT ANY OBSTACLES, because then you're a sitting duck and you'll die in a couple shots. You have to keep moving, and you gotta line up your shots/squish attempts. High risk high reward. It's a useful unit. For example: If there's a siege entrenchment, say a bunch of GDI MLRSs and tanks camping with hotties repairing them from behind, ZOOOOOOM drive incredibly fast and squeeze right in between the MLRS, dodging the rockets cause they too slow, and squishing all the hotties repairing them and then POOF! You're already gone, by the time the MLRS can back up, turn around and aim at you and OH SNAP! You've driven a circle around the guy, fire off some rockets, let your artillery back you up and DONE! Entrenchment destroyed. Zoom off to the next fight. So yah. Where the hell is the recon bike in Renegade X? Damn, you guys are missing out! Is there a model of it laying around with the devs? Dude, trust me, it'd be an excellent addition to Nod's arsenal. As for GDI, MPF UltraAOW NewMaps server has also added a Humvee with a TOW rocket launcher. So now both factions have low tier cheap machine gun (Buggy/Humvee) and rocket vehicles (Recon bike/TOW missile humvee). 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Arts Staff NodSaibot Posted June 17, 2018 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted June 17, 2018 It already spawns from crates. They handle very strangely, not at all like the classic renegade ones. If you want to test it out in skirmish mode, open your console and type summon renx_game.ts_vehicle_reconbike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoMiNaNt_HuNtEr Posted June 17, 2018 Author Share Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) ahhh but that's the Tiberian Sun one. That's an Attack Cycle. I'm talking RECON BIKE YEEEEEEEEAH! Ah, so the physics aren't patted down properly yet, huh? I'll test it out, thanks. So you remember the classic renegade one, which, has been very much fine tuned for the MPF server - this server is a modded server, and the bike works much better than the stock renegade one. Now its physics are perfect, you're never in danger of flipping your bike over, etc. unless you REALLY fuck up, like do a jump off a cliff and land upside down. But yeah! So much fun. It's the only reason I'm playing renegade again. Setting up biker gangs lol. Edited June 17, 2018 by DoMiNaNt_HuNtEr 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very familiar with MPF and UltraAOW. I was a mod there for long time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Arts Staff TK0104 Posted June 18, 2018 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted June 18, 2018 I mean if someone wants to model a Recon Bike.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandal33 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 calm down... Nod already have a fast vehicle that shoots explosives. Also, MPF server isn't Renegade anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoMiNaNt_HuNtEr Posted June 24, 2018 Author Share Posted June 24, 2018 (edited) @vandal33 lol, calm down? I'm being positive here, bubsy boy. You're confused? (you clicked the "confused" forum reaction button) Whats there to be confused about chum? Recon Bikes are hilarious in Renegade! Yes, I know MPF is crazy compared to the RenCorner server, which is considered normal Renegade. But even RenCorner has a few new maps in its rotation, some with Recon Bikes in it! As for "Nod already have a fast vehicle that shoots explosives." What, you mean the light tank? Or the Stealth Tank? Well... yah I know that.... you're missing the point bud. The Recon Bike ain't just a fast vehicle with a turret that shoots explosives. No, this is THE daredevil unit. It has no turret. Its a totally different playstyle. You have to line up your shots, time your entrances into the fray, don't do too many sharp turns in the field as you'll lose speed and easily get killed. Its like doing a strafing run with a fighter jet. Kinda. But now I see - the Unreal engine physics are pretty lackluster when it comes to setting up two wheeled vehicles. So it seems that it would not be feasible to implement a proper Recon Bike into the main roster. Fair enough.

CoreDefender Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 (edited) That's correct. The one we have in-game is improperly named as Recon Bike when in reality it's the Attack Cycle. I would also like to see the original Renegade Recon Bike as well as the SSM Launcher, not sure if anyone is working on modeling and rigging them.

People have been using that Bike for reconnaissance so it's still a Recon Bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoMiNaNt_HuNtEr Posted June 28, 2018 Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 Check out the subforum here, there is a guy who made a tiberian dawn version of the SSM Launcher. And the Renegade SSM launcher is present in the original Renegade game MPF server as well, and its fucken badass, its like the V2 launcher from A Path Beyond. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoreDefender Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) Yeah, the Tiberian History mod for C&C 3 uses the Tiberian Dawn version too Edited June 30, 2018 by CoreDefender 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
