Renegade force torrent

Well in some ways, yes. Some of you may recall that originally aircraft were meant to be in the game, but they were removed 'for the sake of gameplay' a few months before release. Despite the panning the game has received since, it is with some thanks that Westwood has stuck by its fans and continued to update and upgrade what is an enjoyable multiplayer game - lesser developers might not have bothered.

There are in fact three aircraft to choose from: the NOD assault helicopter; the GDI Orca and the transport chopper, which is identical whichever side you fly for. Like the ground vehicles they're pretty sluggish to control and although they use the same keys as all the other vehicles, strafing and altitude controls are somewhat inconvenient. Despite - or rather because of this - the aircraft are far from overpowering and compliment the fast-paced nature of Renegade's arcadestyle combat.

However, the two maps aren't so special: the first a dusky urban figure-of-eight map, the second a rather basic desert scenario, though it won't be long before some quality maps appear, if they haven't already. While it may be stretching it to say this patch turns Renegade into a must-have game, it certainly improves its already broad online appeal.

While the single-player game is beyond help, the multiplayer game is gaining momentum. If Westwood can see its way to including real-time base-building we may finally have cause for celebration. But for now Westwood deserves no more than a pat on the back. Before you snort like a Frenchman and skip to the next review, there's something you should know.

Yes, the single-player game was a widely acknowledged cock-up, but thanks to the efforts of some die-hard modders, the multiplayer game is still enjoyed today.

Now, I'm not suggesting you buy the game for this reason - if you haven't played it by now you've probably missed the boat. But the people behind some of the best mods for the game are now working on a Ftenegade-inspired mod for Half-Life 2, with a full single-player campaign and multiplayer game called A Path Beyond and The Dead 6 respectively. Unfortunately for Sold Out, it's also a great reason not to buy this game. As Stinkers go. Renegade's single-player game is right up there with a cabbage and baked bean vindaloo follow-through.

One of our main gripes about it was its Al. Or lack of it, like jeeps following an identical oval path in a vain attempt to run you over. However, take out the Al and throw in some live bait, and these criticisms get defenestrated faster than an extra in an old-skool Western. And believe it or not, once you've filed your nails down to a set of useless carbon stumps waiting for one of several hundred packed-to-bursting-point servers to load, you'll find that under the glitches lies a highly entertaining multiplayer lark.

Renegade is certainly one of the most popular new online FPSs for a wile, and its class-based similarities to TFC is obviously capturing the imagination of fraggers the world over. And after a few minutes it's easy to see why. During each round you earn credits for kills, which can then be cashed in for a multitude of character upgrades engineer, heavy gunner, sniper etc or used to buy vehicles which you can hop into and drive including Mammoth Tanks.

Sadly, though, many of these are infuriatingly hard to manoeuvre. Things aren't helped by some atrocious lag even with an ADSL connection and severe clipping problems.

Patches are needed, and fast. If you're going to buy Renegade, then make sure it's for the multiplayer game. As a team game it works extremely well and its already massive fanbase guarantees an abundance of servers all day long.

Don't expect to be enthralled, but do expect to be entertained. Captain Nick "Havoc" Parker bit off more than he could chew. Now as Capt. Parker you've got to stop him, free the scientists.

Unfortunately Raveshaw isn't the only one you'll have to worry about; you're going to also be facing up with your ex-comrade Sakura Obata, a former commando with an attitude and Raveshaw's safety in mind. Command and Conquer Renegade is one of the most original takes on a first person shooter to come along in quite a while. In the game you play Captain Nick "Havoc" Parker, a Special Forces commando dropped into sticky situations to accomplish a laundry list of mayhem. The single player mode of the game features about 10 hours worth of game play broken up into a dozen missions.

Each of the missions are pretty sizable, having you cover pretty huge maps and accomplish a lot of killing and destruction before the day is done. The enemies and support staff you run into throughout the game come straight from the real time strategy game. You even get to commandeer a number of the vehicles and tool around the map, annihilating enemies and structures. From heavy to light tanks, to machine gun-mounted Humvees, extreme vehicular homicide is brought to bear.

The weapons provided come from the special characters in the strategy game as well, things like flamethrowers or sniper rifles. Unfortunately the game's AI is just not up to snuff. Enemies tend to do a lot of standing around, unless you're within sight. Once they see you they charge blindly ahead, taking heaps of damage without doing much to avoid hits besides the occasional weaving.

Sometimes you'll even see a flock of bad guys hung up on a table or chair. Luckily there are three difficulty settings in the single player mode and cranking it up to the hardest tends to make the game worth playing for shooter veterans. CCR relies on its very own 3D engine, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. While the graphics go a long way to put you in the world of the original Command and Conquer, they also tend to remind you that it's only a game.

I'm not saying that's necessarily a bad thing, but it's something you need to know going into it. James Kisicki Frank as Frank. Darnell Suttles Westbrook as Westbrook. Charles Brown Santana as Santana. Bert Matias Coroner as Coroner.

Very interesting film and showing how much you can accomplish on a limited budget. Best points? The vigilante sniper shooting the FBI sniper through his telescopic sight, as later featured on Mythbusters.

As has been commented on by others the plot never plays out as you might expect it to. You think that Cooper and Simms will end up together but instead she's killed in the City Hall shootout and he's forced to unceremoniously abandon her body on the floor and flee.

After Cooper and Roth talk in front of the civil war memorial "Brother against brother, it's no good that way" you expect Roth to come good and betray Jake to Cooper but instead his loyalties remain with the vigilantes. I would like Roth to have asked Cooper in return what the civil war veterans would have made of the modern justice system, was this the country they fought for?

Fight for survival across a procedurally generated and emergent mission-based campaign through reactive, tactical turn-based battle system that emphasizes interrupts and counters. Standing in your way is an intelligent Adversary system with enemy officers that evolve and move up in the ranks.
