As the novelty wears off the C&C setting begins to dissolve, you're left with a decent FPS that quickly becomes as easy to put down as it was to pick up. [Apr 2002, p.84]
This **** this **** come on this is an absolute 10. So many unforgettable great times. I used to play single player the multiplayer part since there wasnt internet connection in my home back then :D. Damn fun and great times.
Absolutely, mindblowingly amazing.
People generally complain about bugs. there aren't any bugs which make the game in any way unplayable, so they are fine.
Single player? The AI is absolutely stupid, i admit. But this game's single player is probably one of my most enjoyable single player experiences. It deserves a lot more praise than the call of duty campaigns in the least.
Multiplayer? Sheer epicness. It's like you're playing out an rts game from an fps perspective, and you can be any unit you want amongst the usual 30+ people in the servers. It requires a lot of teamwork, and the satisfaction you get when you finally blow up the enemy base is exhilarating.
I wish there had been a renegade 2! was really looking forward to it!
Also, the multiplayer community if still very active, for anyone who's wondering :)
The detail and immersion of these environments is such a pleasant surprise that it may take even a seasoned player a while to realize that the single-player missions are rather linear, and that the artificial intelligence of the enemy troops is a little...lacking.
Fix the physics on the engine, scale it for lower-end machines, tweak the netcode on the multiplayer side and overhaul the AI and Renegade is the game that every C&C fan wants it to be. It's a good game, just not a great one.
The AI is about...wait...did I just call it artificial intelligence?! What I meant to say was artificial silliness just cracked me up on a couple of occasions, as I've witnessed NOD soldiers walk towards me with their backs turned, while I just kept filling their butts full of chain gun lead.
Single player was okay, I played through it a few times; however, the multiplayer is amazing, if you get a good team together the strategy the game requires to win just makes it so much fun. Even being on the losing team is fun as you struggle to defend your base. If that's not for you, Renegade was easily modifiable and you could blow all sorts of time into changing the game play. In all I love the game, and I still play it even now.
La licence "Command & Conquer" a tenté de se diversifier avec ce FPS "Renegade" développé par les mêmes responsables des jeux de stratégie en temps réel surexploités, Westwood Studios...
Ainsi, dans des environnements assez grands (Halo est passé un peu par là, je suppose, l'année d'avant... et a dû influencer pas mal de gens) on contrôle donc un gros con et accessoirement surtout, un gros con de Rambo de pacotille.
Tellement gros con qu'il est même un prototype de Dwayne "Canard WC" Johnson qui fronce fort les sourcils, fait ses yeux en billes de Loto et vient tout nettoyer : le calcaire ennemi n'a qu'à bien se tenir, y compris dans les endroits les plus inaccessibles ! (hein ? ah bon ?....).
Donc, on tire sur tout ce qui est rouge (enfoirés de communistes) et on fait le grand ménage... même qu'on peut piloter des tanks et tout ça... mais il faut récupérer des clés de couleur pour ouvrir des portes de couleur... comme dans un vieux Doom pourri ! t'es sérieux, là, Command & Conquer ?
Quoi qu'il en soit, au sein de cette débilité générale qui n'en apparaît que plus flagrante ici (c'était déjà une habitude dans les C&C où on cliquait sur ses "mammouths") on se lasse un peu trop vite, je crois ! de toute façon, en termes de FPS, le jeu reste très dilettante et les "missions" sont carrément beaufs et bêtes à la fois.
Techniquement, ça date de 2002 (eh oui...) mais ça tourne sans protester directement en 1080 sur Win7-64, ce qui n'est pas si commun dans le monde du PC ! d'où les deux points quand même pour cette connerie EA trop opportune et un peu trop mal dégrossie.
It is fun to see the battleground from the point of view of the GDI soldier. Although the single-player campaign is sometimes too easy it is still very enjoyable. Multiplayer was great at the time, not sure what it is like now.
SummaryFor the first time, experience the Command and Conquer universe up close and personal as you fight it out on the ground among the structures, vehicles and weapons made famous in the original C&C. You assume the role of Havoc, elite GDI commando who fights and explores from a first or third-person viewpoint. Battling through exotic indoor...
