Does anybody play online? If so what server? What side?
-
I used to play it, but I met too many idiots who could not play in teams , so I gave up. No team in renegade= no victory.
-
I just started, but cheating appears to be rampant on the servers I play on.
-
really? at least there was no cheating back then...
-
Yeah, the server I was playing just got shut down because 2/3 of GDI side and 1-2 on the NOD side were cheating. I think I'm going to talk to EA amd see what they are doing about it. You're right about the teamwork also, I was in a Light Tank and another guy was playing a Technician and was standing out of the line of fire, I was able to blow 2 Mammoths away.
-
And tell me, have you ever seen any efficient chinook drop?
Well I do, on a couple occasions, coz they were really thouht out: that was sweet. But well, voila: a couple occasions on a hundred games, that's sad.
-
It's hard to coordinate something like that without a well-trained team and voice com. I mean, I had a Mammoth rush ready to go and bam, renegade bombed.
-
I used to play (played a few with Venom, actually), but got pissed at what Venom said, the lack of teamwork. My brother still plays online a bunch - he's part of a clan, so lack of teamwork isn't an issue.
I'm surprised he hasn't posted in here yet. ;)
Hmmm... if we get enough people here who play, we could start a clan. It'd be doubly dangerous, since people here tend to be more mature than your average internet kiddie. ;)
-
yooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
yeah I play muahahaha Lib tell me a time and server ill meet you in game if your just getting started I can show you some neat tricks ;) :drevil:
oh yeah and about the teamwork I always go intoa server with people on TS http://www.teamspeak.org DL if you like, thats the way all the clans communicate ingame. :yes: ;7
and yes cheating is rampant in renegade but im the mod of both CEO servers and the DFC one so play in there when you see me online and ill take care of it + Tefon@oneshell is always a favorite for the guys in the clan im in [D|F|C] ... and EA basically told us FU they aint doing crap about the cheating some guys have been trying to make Rengaurd it was supposed to come out in september and then again in november and decmber and for christmas and January... but nope... they keep running into some crap basically renegade has over 230 backdoors to exploite so they have thier work cut out for em...
anyway you play ren? or are interested in learning how? look me up on GSA (dont do WOL 1. at least 30% more n00bs AVERAGE per server 2. they cant snipe to save thier lives 3. hardly anyone thier knows how to play for fun cause they have it all laddered and so every guys in there is playing for himself every level trying to get the most points using whatever works... they get relaly cheap) anyway look me up on GSA [D|F|C]-Splinter :nod:
see you there.

About -the teamplay... I gotta admit, tho, that whenever I could, I'd get myself an orca :p ( what can I say, I love them ). 0n some map -canyon, I think- we managed to make a real air war, once, was very cool actually :)

C&C_walls_flying.mix
:nod: :p
canoyon is the one with the big vehicle tunnel under the nod airstrip and does not have flying units... only walls flying glacier flying(which you enver seea roud anyway) and city flying do. :D
the way the game is built to date there is no game there comes close to being more of a RTS game in a FPS body... no freaking way BF1942 got squat on it as well as all the rest. :drevil:
-
yeah, walls flying, the one with each base behind a wall, with some kind of big hollow rock thing in the middle.
Well it was a canyon scenery :p

right on :nod:
-
I used to play.....then my CD went kaput.
But hell yeah! C&C Renegade was FUN!!
Didn't know you have flying vehicles in there tho.
-
Yeah I played for a while! Orcas were amazing to fly...I love those things. Right from the original C&C Demo (I would build tons of them and go hunting harvesters and tanks). Definate lack of teamplay tho...
-
they were brought in multiplayer thanks to a patch. the controls are not the best, tho, I would have gladly got rid of the nose turret control, and be able to strafe instead ( hell, even in tiberian dawn, they strafe :doubt: )
-
Orca's can strafe, I just think you need to change the vehicle camera glued to turret control thingy.
And Jed... reading your posts online is a scary thing. You sound like a complete newbish terd-ager who's never heard of the period key. You know better, and I know you know better. So quit being a lazy ass and use punctuation. Remember, Punctuation Is Your Friend™. :nod: ;) :p

punctuation ate my friend. anyway yeah orcas can strafe you need to hold the normal strafe button like for men plus ctrl alt or shift i froget which one cause I dotn use it... come from somone who pwns entire rushes wiht oen orca I tell you this it strafes to slow to be of any real use. :drevil:
and teamplay is deffinetly more active now then it was when alot of you guys played. jsut for the heck of it I jsut finished a CW we lost the first map by 2k won the 2nd with 3k lost the 3rd by 7000 and won the 4th with 9000k... in other words we won except we cant be sure by how mucah cause no one took the screenies :rolleyes: and so technically we cant know for sure which team won. althought I must say we only lost 2 cause the leader got discconected 15 times in 3 games cause of hardware problems in his PC... we would have won them all we dragged a recruit in to replace him tin the 4th map and we won by alot more as you can see... so if we had actually had him playing wiht no intturuptions we would have won the enitre thing... hes so angry he put a couple holes in his computer case rofl. :p

;) :p Just kidding (partially), bro - you know I love ya. :p
EDIT: Uhh, he really is my brother, in case anyone didn't know. :nervous:

I should reinstall renegade, I think, but I always had huge problems connecting to the westwood online thing and had to resort playing on gamespy... But now that WS is down the drain, I guess it's another server now?
-
Orca's would be about 100000000 times better if snipers couldn't kill them so easily. UT2K4 has better vehicles anyways
-
Personally, I'm looking forward to either BF:Vietnam (Hueys! Napalm! Ak-47s!), or Breed (dropships! er... ). Assuming Breed doesn't turn out shecters, of course.
Fortunately, both are out after my final year project is due to be handed in.

bull****, nothing can beat the mammoth or the stealth tank :p
yeah, the eavy sniper, tho, is a bit too much heavy for my tastes...

nah westwood online is still running but as I said before your going to want to use GSA anyway... WOL guys suck at sniping and are the most selfish players you will find because the enitre thing is laddered so like even the normal server games everyone is playing relaly hard for themselves... they cant play for fun. and orcas CREAM snipers muahaha... as long as you can dodge them till you get close enough or sneak up behind em. ;7
-
Unless the sniper suffers from alzeimher disease, I can't really see how an orca could dodge his shots...
-
Not Alzeimher, Parkinson :D
-
yeah, yeah, but still you don't wanna have any of those :p

lol meet me in game and ill show you lol ;7
-
My question is why a Havoc can take out a Mobile Artillery with 5 shots?
I mean it takes all the fun out of a game when you can't even get out the front door of your base 5 minutes after it starts.
-
You should not be able to get Havoc 5 minutes after the game starts: he's too costy.
iirc, at least.
-
There's an example of cheating then.
Oh, how can we also forget the time my team got flame tank rushed and then 2 minutes later stealth tank rushed.
-
yeah, that's obviously cheating...
iirc, Havoc is 2000 credits, right?
Stealth Tank rush? Now I've never seen that, they're not that efficient in packs, in fact that's plain stupid. Stealth tanks are great alone ( or two, taht's the best, two stealth tanks together ), for hunting heavier ( and therefore slower ) stuff in wide open areas. Many stealth tanks at once, they'll just be in the way of each others.
Was my favourite tank for a while, I killed many mammoth with it, they just underestimate its strengh because of the weak hull and missiles. But that's the only tank that can easily dodge shells even at short range, so who needs heavy hull? :)

Are you SERIOUS? Done properly, ST rushes are way more effective than flame rushes. If the enemy doesn't see you until you start hitting a building, and doesn't have time to prepare and get repair guys in there, then 4 ST's can cream a building after around 2 barrages (2 shots each).
Some of my favorite tactics involve stealth tanks and beacons. :D For example, one I came up with was to get a stealth tank and a stealth black hand with a beacon. In maps without base defenses (c&c_complex.mix works best), you sneak the ST around one of the sides and to the back of the base, where the harvester and refinery are. Park the ST a the refinery loading dock, right where the harvy deposits tiberium. Make sure the the ST is facing sideways. Get out of the tank a wee bit before the harvy comes back and place the beacon in a corner of the dock. Then you get back in the tank, which is unable to escape because the harvy is trying to return to unload, and is preventing the ST from leaving or turning around.
If guys come to disarm the beacon, they can either be run over by the ST (which can still move side to side), or their repair beam can be blocked by the ST. If someone starts shooting your tank, roll to the other side of the dock, forcing hi to come around the back of the harvy to get a firing angle. Then just run him over. It's a win-win situation. :D
-
Havoc is 1000 credits, so it's relatively easy to have by 5 minute on some maps. The most expensive is the Mammoth tank at 1500, and it's by far the most effective, except up close. Two well supported Mammoths can eradicate any foe.

That's what I said about team work. A large ST rush should have no way of coming close to your base.
-
I play online a lot, good game, but "teamwork" usually ends up being everyone running in the same direction at the same time without prior planning - good when you're up against an equally unorganized team, not pretty when you're up against a well prepared one. I think I've been in about 3 good rushes, and those were beautiful; the others just sorta died.
EDIT: one of those three good rushes was a Stank rush, 8 tanks, city flying, killed their whole base before they could fully react. Mind you, their defense tower was still up and running when we entered.

We played also dude:D

So, say, if I were to reinstall the thing this afternoon, would I find anybody to play online with me?
-
I would, but I gotta run in a bit. Drat.
-
well it's installed, patched, and running fine.
-
I'm at my parent's this weekend but I'll be back at my place on monday. Just tell me a server and I'll look for you.
