[Cunin]

I was contacted by ringle99 (long time no see, but I guess many still remember him) on Steam and he's trying to find out if enough people would be interested in a reunion when the game comes out next year.

He's trying to contact as many people from the old n00bstories gang he can, so that we can arrange something like a decent game with RenX with the old friends.

I promised I would spread the word here and so I'm doing.
I think it's a nice idea, and the worst that can happen if we'll have problems with the game, would be that we'll find old friends again

So spread the word yourself if you're still in contact with some of those people, and let's see what happens.

I'll be in depending on time and date. I was seeing that the full version might even be released in February next year?

[Cunin]

Yeah it should be released in february next year.
He said he was able to contact stallion-david and complikaty so far, and he posted in n00bstories forum to see who was interested.
There's still time before that, so I guess a date which fits most could be arranged by then.

I mean I'm on Steam all the time Cunin, but yeah I've been playing Ren for the last month and am still a God.

[Cunin]

I guess it's like a bicycle, once you learn it, you never forget. I wonder how I would do after these few years that I haven't played it.

It should be noted that what was released is still a beta, just an open one, so the game is technically still not released, and in fact there's quite some little things to fix before considering it the final product.

I can really bear with any one of them, though, but I was really disappointed by some of the new additions, like the air strike and a new building type that, when taken, allows the team to gather more credits, or that's what I heard because I only could play a map with bots so far. I just hope you can disable such things in your server options.

On the other hand, the bots are amazing, and although they can surely get better, they're still a million times better than the original renegade, which could likely be used for a much better coop experience.
They don't just lock on your head and shoot, but they miss like humans. Also, they seem to be aware of their surroundings and of the game tactics, so you'll see them purchasing vehicles and driving them to the field, purchase an engineer and go to field to repair vehicles, attack enemy buildings and so on.

In fact, the little match I had with bots was like playing with people with a sufficient experience in Renegade, and was enjoyable for what they're needed for: try the Renegade experience.

The developers seem to listen to valid complaints and are working to fix all problems, so I'm sure this will get better soon, and so far I'm really impressed by the work done since the last multiplayer version that was released years ago, which was all but renegade. They have tweaked everything to make it feel as close as possible to Renegade, and despite it's still lacking a good number of configuration options to make it play like the real thing (like freeaim, in-game menu, ...), I'm sure they'll be able to do it in the near future.

A downside of this is also that the original Renegade is suffering from a lack of players, that are likely playing RenX right now. Although purists may get back (or never left), chances are that the newbies will not, but we'll see.

I am not in full agreement with Cunin. I have been playing this on the Jelly Hosted server for a day now and it has been great.

The tech building on one of the maps provides a good ability to increase credits and becomes a goal for either team to take over. Holding it as well is difficult.

I agree there are some minor bugs. The major improvement is the international ability for all to play. On the original that I played years ago the lag was so great that it made the game almost unplayable. Now I can do most things but it does remind me of playing Renegade on a 56K connection when I am playing on an American Server.

Granted my ping would be in the high 300's so what can I expect.

In the server settings, you can have bots from basic to incredibly good. Almost god like. This was obviously a great help for servers that are empty to give the player a good experience. The ability to co-op should be great, but if we do we might need access to the source code.

Have others been playing? It is different, but it seems to combine the wonderful engine and ability of unreal with the nostalgic renegade. I would hazard to say it is better than the original.

Did try yesterday with bots ,I agreed about the Bots being pretty smart ,at one point i wasnt sure they were bots
Yep many bugs ,like harvester in field coming in collision with his team tank and didnt just stop ,he drove over the tank and fall on his side .
characters are something propulsed way to high and too far after been hit . Being stuck at river in a tank in field .buying and nuclear bomb and ready to deploy and seing that you dont have it no more in your inventory ;S
Apart all that game look great (field is too dark tho) Great potential for it . realy like what i saw .
small things i dont like : doors opening =bad and menu color(red erk) and menu all together I guest i dont like ,would like better be more visual like in original .
the ways that characters walk is much better then the yo walk it had before .
thumb up and great expectation .Nice !

[Cunin]

I did not play it so It was just a thought, but if one team takes field, it also takes that building, so it's like a 2x bonus, unless in some other maps it's not placed there (I tried Field). I expected to find the old game with just better graphics, so that was unexpected.

And yeah, there were moments when I thought I started a public game and those weren't bots too lol

[dubstar]

Should've had the capturable buildings in infantry only areas, more maps will come.

The bots are impressive and good to play against in skirmish. Having bots on your own team can be frustrating because they keep stealing the vehicles before you get chance to get in them after purchasing and the starting credit slider for skirmish doesn't work.

Infantry and tanks seem to die quicker and something weird happens if you tap F8 a few times (not sure if this was for debugging)

Online I die more times from killing myself (which is bs because I didn't buy a airstrike or do anything out of the ordinary) and I have witnessed speed + damage hacks already

Other than a few glitches the game is really good to play. Totem Arts have done an amazing job with this mod/game.
