:mad: :mad: :mad: aaaaaahhhh it's so dam addictive, i haven't do anything on any mods thi entire week, been playing it only, so let this be a warning
-
That is C&C: Renegade, right? I would download it but I can only find on on Fileplanet, and I wouldn't download anything from that place if I was paid for it; the game looks good though. However, I hear that the online lag is pretty bad; can you cope with that?
-
The netcode for it is horrid..
I fell out of the level because of lag, driving along in the humvee near a wall, next thing I know I'm tumbling off into this void...
It is addictive though when it isnt lagging like I'm on a 28.8..
-
I've heard stories of some pretty funny lacks of gravity as well - like someone running up a hill and carrying on up into the sky off the edge of the level because gravity didn't exist there or something... Still, I'll trry it :)
-
The internet play is laggy yes, but thats because of gamespy's ************** servers, once wol has configurd themselfs al will be well.
-
hah... i'm spolied on cable and it ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!! Little lag, nice explosions. Plus hijacking a mammoth tank is sweet
-
Screw the Mammoth...
Stealth tank...
Park yourself on a hill and wait for that mammoth to roll by, then shoot it in the back....
-
is it only an online game?
-
Its the Multiplayer Demo, so yes (though there is LAN support too)
-

third mirror works for me.
-
bumpy!
just tried the demo, it's great :)
But damn, I hate playing with unknown peoples, they're so incompetetnt I can't believe it. I buy my pretty new mammoth and run for the battle, but no: all the stupid guys are stuck in the entry, 3 other mammoths and an abraham. talk about a blockade :rolleyes: of course, the light tnaks and the stealth tanks can avoid their shots, so they've been all cut into pieces (me included). Also, IO'm in a stealth suit, another guy follows me, we almost manage to enter the GDI base, and what does the stupid freak does? He shoots at one guy!!! Damnnit :mad:
Talk about stealth :rolleyes:
Tha would be cool that the ones who have the demo here play together :)
-
Damn! For a while, I thought you meant Renegade was on the shelves!
No single player demo? Damn it!
So, for those who have played the demo, how does the Stealth Tank handle?:D

oh, anyway, from the official webiste:
"Strap on your combat boots and get ready to kick some Nod...er...booty! Command & Conquer Renegade shipped to stores in North America today, and should be fully distributed worldwide by March 1. "
Alexender: when you want :)

hmm
Favorite GDI Vehicle: Mammoth
Favorite GDI Infantry: Gunner / Powersuit
Favorite NOD Vechile: Flame tank
Favorite NOD Infantry: Raveshaw

Im buying it today, the Stealth is awsome, i like how you can control the turret so freely and drive the veichle independantly, great control setup. As for lag I barely got any, the only problem was the turrets block a big portion of the view, and the mammoth is just getting out of hand.
-
well, this afternoon, I had no lag, but I played with dragonclaw some minutes ago, it was a real nightmare :(
-
The Orca and Apache will apparently be available in a patch.

that'd be neat :) Then as it seems the game is really modable, we'll get to fly other stuff to, since there's at least a kind of futuristic chinnok and a comanche in the campaign. mmh, and the A10... :D
-
RTS Freespace?
-
If it is fully moddable, we can start issuing Havoc beam cannons then!:nod:

I'll buy the sucker the day it's out :)

Darn!

If the reviews are generally favorable, I will get this game as well. They really need to fix up the lag issues though; that is the only really major problem with the game at the moment.
-
The lag won't be a problem, the demo is run on gamespy servers and there laggy, the full game can be playd on WOL and they have one of the best servers of the world
-
Heheh... I was one of the 500 people selected for the private beta testing phases of the Renegade project, and let me tell you, the game has increased ten-fold compared to what it was during our day. The netcode has been improved immensely, BELIEVE me.
I think they will patch it later on, but are rather anxious to get it on the shelves.
Bottom line is, I can't wait to get my hands on the single player... :)
-
there's no single player demo :p anyway, it (the full game I mean) should be released tomorrow :D
for the demo there's already the 1.07 patch, supposed to fix the lag.
-
About beta-test, anyone received Neocron ?
-

The b******s....
What? Did I say that out loud? It's just that if you get the full game tomorrow, I'll probably get it in half a years time. :( :no:
-
It got 43% in PCGamer, BTW. Said it was utter crap.... especially compared to Jedi Knight 2.
I'd definately wait for a single player demo till you decide if you want it....
-
its really cool but when we start a dedicated server here half of us arent allowed to join because the server fills up that fast... any yes its a 32 people server
-
Next thing you know, there will be people creating a CS MOD for it set in the future.....hee:p
Yub Yub.:nod:

PC gamer noted all the westwood games that way. I don't give a damn about their review: I've played renegade, the gameplay is perfect. I've played many other westwood games, the plots are excellent, the musics are awesome, and the games are well balanced. The second I see the box, I buy it.

Dam Gamespy, lol i got adsl and a ping of 1ms and still i can't host a game with more then 2 players Alex gives gamespy :no: :no:
-
Does PCGamer review demos or something?
I usually agree with Gamespot's reviews, but they sometimes mess up too, so I always check four or five different sites' reviews to get a good opinion on the game.:)
Also, the stealth tank rules.:D

lol, and I thought Fileplanet is already enough reason to hate them.:D (IMHO Fileplanet is among the most annoying websites in existence:p)

It's in the shops over here, if that's what you mean. I was out looking for a copy of Starlancer, as it happens.
Incidentally, PCG still rates FS2 as the best space sim of all time ;)

A lot of places do. :nod:
(But have they reviewed IW2? :D)

They say its frustrating and it has a 5 hour learning curve and a bad trading system, which are the only things keeping FS2 above IW2. They are both extremely well-made games IMO

Well...obviously you don't know much about the internet. Firstly... that ping of 1ms is to YOURSELF... not to anyone else... and secondly, the main problem with the servers is the PACKET LOSS, not the ping. Every connection has a max upload, and 2 people on a server you make maxes out your current upload speed. It's not really the game(though they should have a maxclientrate like Unreal Tournament does) or gamespy... infact, gamespy is definately not the problem... :lol:
I found this game is entertaining and really promotes clans and stuff for team strategies. Team Fortress 3! :D Its pretty cool in my opinion, though I don't have the full game and the single-player might be a little worse, I don't see how they can get bots to be even the slightest bit intelligent.
-
LOL only thing i know about the internet is how to go to a site and a few other things............:rolleyes: but still i think gamespy i crappy every server there has lag, and i playd it a wol with no trouble, and besides i can host at wol a 20 player game.
-
crap :( won't be available before two weeks it seems. I hate being french sometimes.

Eh... maybe YOU have lag =P I get a 40 ping to almost everything there.

I got the full version yesterday, in Multiplayer it only adds like 7 new maps which are basically just the exact same thing as C&C_Under just a different way. They all have one direct path and one path that just kinda sidetracks around it, and one tunnel. No new structures, units, buildings, veichles, etc, and the campaign is stupid. Dont waste your money

That's your oppinion and besides the game has just be realeased so more maps wil surely come.:o
-
Sure, Westwood have announce Mplayer maps where you'll be able to fly the Orca, the Apache and the Chinook (too bad for the comanche I've seen in some screenshots :p)
Anyway, I think Vada's comment is extraordinary: basically ihe complains bacause Westwood put too many things in the demo. Cmon!!! count the stuff damnit! there's 12 vehicles to control! there's... at least 30 different classes of soldiers! You would'nt have said a word if they had released a crappy demo where you can play only the basic soldier and drive the humvee and the buggy. And with the support of Gmax and some official tools, don't worry, new vehicles, maps and soldiers will be available quite soon.
