[QUOTE=Sableye;44206373]i discovered the other day that patch is quite capable of harasing mobile artillery, just pounding them with his full auto explosives machinegun thingy, though the recoil on that shouldn't be as big as it is,
i end up only being able to get off at most 3-5 round bursts, the scope mode should just do burst fire anyways[/QUOTE]It seems that recoil doesn't cause the weapon to miss, it's just visual.
For a second there I thought that was a mammoth and I was about to bitch about B2B. How the hell did he even get that thing up there?

[QUOTE]A cloaked Stealth Tank can be seen from further away[/QUOTE]
I swear I couldn't keep myself hidden already, now its even further?
Only maps I can see it being useful in is Whiteout and.. "that map with the lake and the tiberium mountain place"

Why did they nerf the grenades, that's not right.
Because fuck grenades. If you can't do it with timed C4, shoot them.
Beta 4 is coming up "early 2015" and it looks [I]good[/I].

Also add me on steam if anyone wants to play together, I've been playing almost daily on the EKT marathon server (since that's the only one regularly populated)
Yesss, finally we're getting Under.
Fuck Under, Canyon is better
[URL="http://renegade-x.com/news.php?id=74826"]Beta 4 is releasing on March 22[/URL]. There's a changelog included, it's pretty extensive!
Abridged changelog:
[quote]The new version will include:[B]3 new levels: Under, Canyon, and Complex[/B].
Auto-patcher (!)
Modding/mapping tools (!!)
Ingame Jukebox (!!!)
[B]Smoke Grenades[/B]
[B]Vehicle drops[/B]
Optimization for better performance and crash fixes

EMP grenade changes
Pawn and vehicle movement adjustments
[B]New vehicle locking system[/B]
Idle-player kicking system (with warnings)

New Havoc/Sakura specific explosive arrangements
New C&C-mode themed loading screen
Oodles of fixes, balance changes, and more![/quote]
[B]THE GAME IS [I]RUINED[/I]![/B]
We can't travel to the enemy base in traditional FP Style!
[I]"You now get 10 damage per sec when standing on an active air vehicle to prevent vehicle surfing"[/I]
Joking aside
There's a good bunch of nice things in this update.
[I]"Added support for custom maps"
"Added auto patcher to the launcher"
"Added 3 new maps (CNC-Complex, CNC-Under, CNC-Canyon)"[/I]
EMP Grenades have a few buffs as well:
[I]"SBH and Stanks have their stealth deactivated when inside an EMP Field"
"The EMP Grenade Blast can now disarm Proximity and AT Mines."
"Hitting an enemy building with an EMP triggers the "Building Under Attack" message"[/I]
And Smoke Grenades, a pretty nice new feature for rushing past defenses:
[I]"Added Smoke Grenade. Spawns a SmokeScreen that blocks targeting and Line of Sight from Base Defences."[/I]
Fuck, why can't devs just have a menu option for vehicle surfing.
It's so fun, i understand disabling it for balance reasons but there should always be more fun options
Well [I]holy[/I] shit.
[I]"Ramjet Rifle:
Updated Beam to be a bit less obvious
Increased ramjet heavy armour damage to 30hp per shot from 10hp per shot to compensate for reduced infantry damage
Decreased ramjet rifle damage vs light armour vehicles
ramjet and sniper have a slight spread when hip firing
[B]damage vs infantry has gone down from 200 to 150 so no more one hit kill on free infantry[/B]"[/I]
[editline]FUCK THIS SHIT[/editline]
NOPE NOPE FUCKING NOPE
[I]"Havoc and Sakura will now have multiple timed c4 as their default explosive weapons
...
*Edit*
Update from 07.03 of additional things:
...
- Havoc and Sakura will now use [B]Remote C4[/B] instead of timed C4"[/I]
Oh boy, time for EVERYONE to use Ramjets, forever because they can now insta-kill anyone who gets close with remote C4
Sounds neat, will see how that plays out.
How active exactly is this game?
I take it there's like two servers, one of which has players, but I don't have it installed really.
[QUOTE=Drury;47372989]How active exactly is this game?

There's around 15-20 servers, but most of the playerbase crams into the top 5 or so.
It's not a healthy number by any means, but it's not The Ship levels of dead
[editline]HYPE[/editline]
Beta 4 is released, everyone get your butts downloading!
[editline]FUCK THAT NOISE[/editline]
Okay, remind me to never again visit those official forums, christ, the ramjet babies are crying like hell at the rebalance of their precious ramjets.
I'm just waiting for the amount of times, I get close to a sniper to be insta-killed by remote C4...
While I'm downloading, is hotwire/engineer still the thing you want to run if you want to win?
[QUOTE=Drury;47373824]While I'm downloading, is hotwire/engineer still the thing you want to run if you want to win?[/QUOTE]
pretty much, you're running an engineer or you're supporting the engineers.
Why RenegadeX why.
Can't they give everyone a repair gun or make engineers redundant somehow already, it drives me mad.
[editline]22nd March 2015[/editline]
Like yeah I get they want to keep Renegade intact but I just don't get why, it's not fun.
Am I the only one having trouble downloading right now? None of the mirrors seem to be working on my end.
[QUOTE=TheGoodDoctorF;47373995]Am I the only one having trouble downloading right now? None of the mirrors seem to be working on my end.[/QUOTE]
Try the torrent, it's working better for me than the mirrors.
Yea, I went ahead and did that. Had a blast just now.
I've been playing with the adjusted Flamethrower and Chem-Sprayer for some time, I've gotta say, I really like them, they work a lot better now, rather than the really bizarre way they worked in the past.
Also flame tanks can actually hit infantry now, rather than just spraying fire everywhere and desperately hoping the projectiles hit.
People complaining shotgun is OP
Me being glad there is finally a weapon that can kill someone in less than 20 shots
Really sometimes it feels like everything about this game is stuck 20 years in the past, especially the people defending it. Like no, it should not take 5 hours for a game to end due to everything taking forever to take down, from base defenses to players standing still absorbing minigun fire.

There really ought to be a reliable source of healing and ammo, like medkits on the map or a class that can actually hit you with it's healing thing (unlike repair gun) or a hospital tech building that grants passive autoheals or whatever.
