It has just been revealed that EA is working on a new Command and Conquer game and that it will be a squad based FPS game. How very Renegade.

I hope it is not going to look like renegade...

liratheal · 12th Dec 2007, 10:28

I hope it gets canned :/

C&C works best as an RTS.

Then I suppose it'd not be EA if they didn't bend a good franchise over a table :/

DarkLord7854 · 12th Dec 2007, 10:36

I fear the worst >.>

Leitchy · 12th Dec 2007, 10:46

I think there is scope to make a really good FPS based on the C&C, it just needs a really good involving side story (or tie in the main theme GDI vs NOD Win or Die etc) like COD:4 and the squad type play like GRAW offered.

I wait with much anticipation, and prepared for disappointment!

TurtlePerson2 · 12th Dec 2007, 11:18

I liked Renegade a lot. The only problem with it was that everyone was unorganized. If they combine Battlefield style squads with Renegade gameplay then they'll make a great game.

BurningFeetMan · 12th Dec 2007, 11:29

This just in! EA spams the market with another crap, unoriginal and uninspired C&C game. News at eleven.

I'm still waiting for Red Alert 3, still got the email from EA, stating thats what game they are working on, then C&C3 was released.

I hope so, Renegade was brilliant. I dont get why people didnt like it. I never did play online because for some reason every time I tried to play online it says insert game disk although I had the original game disk in my drive. Only played on a lan then on.

It was a great Idea and I thought it worked well. Lots of tanks and weapons etc. Much better game than the likes of Battlefront.

M_D_K · 12th Dec 2007, 13:01

I played far far far too much renegade me and Eaterofpies had our own server and we played it day in day out till NTL axed our server.

Awesome game

if they update it a bit etc... smooth it out and stuff it'll be awesome

i just lvoed the tanks and planes

and destroying the buildings :P

Krikkit · 12th Dec 2007, 13:28

Dear God, not another Renegade, please no!

C-Sniper · 12th Dec 2007, 16:13

Command and Conquer should only be RTS. screw this FPS bs

Bungle · 12th Dec 2007, 16:20

Please move along to the next title...nothing to see here

Gobias · 12th Dec 2007, 16:59

I really enjoyed Renegade, and I actually still play it from time to time. The multiplayer was (and still is) very unique compared to most FPSs. I'm hoping that Tiberium revives C&C Mode from the original Renegade in its multiplayer.

lepre · 12th Dec 2007, 17:39

Renegade was a great multiplayer game! with bad 3d engine and netcode but still a great mp game.

johnnyboy700 · 12th Dec 2007, 18:40

All the reviews I saw on Renegrade said it was terrible, I never even tried a free demo I had from a mag cover disc. I can only think of one example of an RTS that was also a capable FPS and that's Battlezone, I thought that was pretty good.

I've still got the game somehwere in my junk pile, along with the sequel, I think I'll dig it out again and see if I can get it running with XP.

2nd.

Renegade was so bad, even Doom1's graphics looks better!

DXR_13KE · 12th Dec 2007, 21:23

renegade is an awesome game, very unique at the time (the graphics did suck, the units did look like toys), it has a very nice modding community, and the gameplay is now being ported to the crysis engine and the ut3 engine.....

single player had its ups and lows... but i think if EA did not eviscerate westwood then renegade would be much superior than it was.

Flyingsheep · 12th Dec 2007, 21:31

Renegade has amazing multiplayer. It would have been even better if the game wasn't rushed. A unique idea executed a little poorly. But I still find the game fun.
