Renegade X Thread

[Purple Magpie]

[QUOTE=Steelpoint;44076907]One thing I am interested in is how the game assigns a score to players. Score seems to be heavily based more on Repairing allied units and damaging/destroying enemy structures, rather then killing enemies units.

For example. One round I went purely Offensive, another round I went entirely as an Engineer.

When I went offensive I got 41 kills and 7 deaths, my final score was around 990, the highest team score we had was around 3500. I was also in the lower score bracket for my team.

When I went repairing, I got no kills and 2 deaths, my final score was 3300, I had the highest team score. Even more interesting is that I only joined near the last 5-10 minutes of the round.

One could argue my 41 to 7 kill spree was more helpful to the team in some regards, others would say that repairing is far more useful. The game heavily emphasizes repairing over killing, which is peculiar.[/QUOTE]

Score is heavily influenced by damage, not kills. Damage repaired or damage done. In the old game, damage repaired gave 50% of the score that damage done did, so 100 points would net 50 for the repairer. This is especially a big deal when vehicle production facilities get wiped out but advanced infantry doesn't. All those tanks the other team has have large amounts of health and are generally an easy target to hit, whereas the infantry have relatively low health and can dodge easier. I've won entirely because Nod wiped out our war factory early and then tried to harass instead of swarm, and the damage dealt by the PIC and volt gun were enough to put us about a thousand points in the lead at the end.

The Gunner rush on Mesa is the endgame for Nod.

I really like Maarten's contribution to soundtrack. So far only the release trailer theme and main menu music, but both are very good quality.

Guy has a degree in music and it shows. Can't wait to see more of him.

Is it MP only? Nahh right?

I LOVED renegade back in the day. Did they deliver? I've heard lots of this and followed it on Moddb but I didn't really read everything they posted.

There's a single player demo, it's standalone and not connected to the original's single player.

[Loner]

Ill check it out, thanks!

[Drury]

I've never played the original Renegade but apparently they brought the same deal except with better graphics and some very minor differences.

I think the biggest deal is airstrikes, the most prominent of the few new features. Those are bad and nobody likes them, they are working on removing them though.

EDIT: Yep and there's skirmish.

There's a skirmish mode that you can play against bots in, but it's still the MP game.

;o

Was fun, we should play again later.

Mobius' electrogun thing reminds me of Short Circuit in TF2.

Nobody exactly knows it's actual range, especially not the user.

[BloodShot12]

Man that was so fun, having a team that actually listened

If I'm in a tunnel or building, the range is enough :v:

That was basically the way it was in the original, too. I played for years and couldn't get it 100%.

I jumped out after passing the war factory and powerplant to go lay explosives, so that's your problem.

well at least i managed to survive and plant a successful beacon so i guess you're pardoned

[The Adjudicator]

I...don't remember what I did

oh I got video of it. I blew myself up.

[darkrei9n]

That picture makes me wonder, what happens if someone plants a beacon while they're on top of the orca. Will it destroy a building underneath it?

[DaWhatTheFox]

I am not sure whether you are able to plant beacons on vehicles or not. We must find out.

[myon]

let science commence

[Xieneus]

we'll play later, gimme like two hours

[DaWhatTheFox]

But I'll be sleeping by then... actually, that's fine, do make science, it is important for us all.

My computer is usually pretty potent, but recently even "Medium" graphical games cause serious strain.
My GPU continiously hits 95c-100c and then crashes, though maybe Its time to clean some dust.
