New Command & Conquer FPS On The Way?

Didn't the first one suck ass?

Just a note: the free version of "Command & Conquer" does not work on Vista.

renegade could have been awesome :(

Didn't they already do this? Wasn't it called "Battlefield 2142"?

the only thing i hate about renegade is that i cant play it any more.
unless u use some funky community mp patch that even then it didnt make it work :(

the game was pretty awesome back then

Renegade has awsome vehicles and buildings (years ahead of the pack there), but in my opinion it was extremely lacking in the infantry department. Guns were the very definition of "not heavy enough", and did far too little damage for the player movement speed. Getting a headshot would do comparitivly massive damage, but the cone of fire on most weapons combined with the high speed, tiny head models, and generally long ranges made aiming for the head useless for everyone but snipers. When two guys met on foot with the "free" chaingun weapons, it was basically a contest of who would get two lucky headshots first.

Also, the netcode was the worst ever released. We're talking about netcode that makes unpatched BF'42 look good.

C&C : Renegade has one of the best concept ever made. The universe from C&C put in a FPS-style of game is a good idea. However, the game was made too fast so many glitches were found. The engine is poor and I am sure that it would have been one of the most played games out there if the game had a good engine and was not as bugged. You could even friendly fire your teammate even if the option was turned off. You have to enter in a vehicle, press E then immediatly shoot and stay out of your vehicle before the projectile reaches a building, a vehicle or an infantry. You could also impersonate someone and make him banned if the moderator was too stupid to differentiate the IPs or the ISPs and would not unban the real player (Nickname/IP/serial match). The real person would come in the server and have a ban. It depends of the server. The graphics were not too bad in its era. If you hated the quality, you just had to go in the options and put it higher, but the frame rate could suffer. No anti-cheat was brought with the game. The community had to build their own. So far, we have seen 3 Anti-Cheats. 1. RenGuard (Now bypassed very easily) 2. BlackIntel Anti-Cheat (Bypassed by the Rate of Fire object hack) and 3 Renegade Resurrection, the best anti-cheat now. Renegade Resurrection fixes the netcode and the friendly fire exploit. You also get a better frame rate and a better ping. This anti-cheat not only block cheats and work at a low level. It has a server side version and a client side version. So, if there is a copy of Renegade laying alone in the corner, try it with Renegade Resurrection. The amount of cheaters in Renegade Resurrection servers have reduced to at least 90% if not 100%. There is still a community of players playing this game from GameSpy and Westwood Online / XWIS. This anti-cheat has already their 1.0+ version. In 2007, they were in a testing phase. We are now in 2008 and they have well improved. Tiberium should not experience that and the best bet would be to mix Renegade and its BF2142 to the mix. People who wants to command and the other who would like to play more in a Renegade style. It would bring up the two kind of people to discover the style of gaming they don't know. I agree that Renegade is awesome. There is also a mod that you could look at and it's Renegade 2007. It uses the UT3 engine and the authors add stuff that Renegade lacked. So, if Tiberium will not be up to your expectations, you can alway look there and wait for its release. I am sure that Tiberium will have a good impact.

Erm...wasnt this already announced over a month ago? Where they reported licensing the Crytek engine to work on a C&C game? I'm almost certain there was news about that.

OH YEAH another C&C :D renegade was not the best of the saga but multi was fun, plus that first view of C&C in 3D view FUII that was something, agree the AI sucks hope ea launch something funny for play in multi and better AI for single(if comes whit this)

Renegade was the worst C&C game since that one where you only had one unit. What was that one called again?

Man, I loved Renegade. Why all the hate? Even the Single Player was fun, it really immersed me and made me feel like I was on the battlefields I was so used to controlling. I'd play it right now if it was released on Steam or something. I just had a lot of fun with that game, even if it wasn't perfect.

Make the AI better PLEASE this time, that was renegade's biggest downfall...

But other than that, YAY!

Renegade was sooo much fun, i think the bugs were what made it so much fun.

The only thing I remember about Renegade was that the ads showed soldiers with ridiculously oversized guns. Like uzis as large as their torsos.

Renegade was fun (multi), but had a lot of problems. Unless they make this exceptionally good, I don't see it doing well, especially since there are already a bunch of BF1942 clones on the market. Also, EA releasing a competitor to the BF series seems odd to me.

Sweet! I loved Renegade :)

I loved Renegade, single and multiplayer. The single player actually had a story and characters that interacted with each other in the cut scenes and gameplay, and the MP was Battlefield before there was Battlefield. Being able to sneak into an enemy base and plant an Ion Canon beacon and defend it long enough to see the beam focus in from the clouds and destroy* a building was awesome.

*of course given technology limitations the buildings were just a little messed up but still...

Renegade was so awesome. Finished the single-player :-)

damn i loved renegade was the first single player fps i ever finished without cheats .

and the multiplayer was way more fun that it should have been

I find it really interesting how the posts are so polarized on Renegade. I never played it (I had assumed it was going to suck), so I don't know anything about the game and how it played. But half the posts are saying 'man, that was pretty awesome in many different ways' while the other half are saying 'wow, I had to use a bidet to cleanse myself of that game.'

What they need to do is make an addon for C&C3 that lets people jump into the game and play it Renegade style while you still have people going at it as commanders, giving orders to the troops, etc. Kinda like Natural Selection but on a much larger scale.

God damn that would be the best game ever.

i can see this working exactly like ET:QW. nod v's gdi.
same-same really, wonder if they can mix it up somehow.

I remember my friend buying renegade. I remember being pumped for it.

Christ am I glad I didn't have the money to buy it right away.
