Shack: C&C Renegade has a first and third person perspective. Why both instead of locking on one perspective?

Dan: We wanted to give the player a strategic choice by providing the two perspectives. The third-person viewpoint gives a player a greater field of vision than a first-person view would, which comes in handy for looking around corners and obscured areas for the enemy. The first person perspective will feel more natural and intuitive to FPS and action game veterans, giving them a more comfortable means to use and target weapons. ...

This is pretty cool. Westwood is setting up four beta test "centers" in North America for people to come down and beta test C&C: Renegade. The test centers are in L.A., Harrisburg PA, Indianapolis, and Edmonton (in state #51). Contact information for the centers is here. Here are snippets of the press release:

The beta test will give gamers a chance to see Renegade's exclusive multiplay "C&C Mode," where two teams of players, GDI and Nod, fight to destroy each other's base. The beta test will include four different multiplay maps, and players will be able to play as any of the 28 characters, use all of the 23 weapons, and drive all of the 11 vehicles in the game.

Four game centers around the country will host the Renegade multiplay beta test through Dec. 23.
