description: Due to a exploit, you can jump on the GDI Insignia on top of the barracks on Canyon, and lay a nuke on top of the barracks. It is difficult to disarm. Many people see this as a valid tactic, but technically it is a exploit because you are not supposed to be up there. There has been some discussion inside the team, if we should fix this or not. We're a little undecided. Hence we are asking the community what you think. We can't promise this will go into CP1, but we would still like your opinion on this.

description: From what I understand the level author intended the signboard to have an infantry blocker but forgot to add it in or something. I've used it to beacon before but it's unarguably an exploit and therefore needs to be fixed. The only people who would argue not to fix it would be people used to doing it, which are invalid points because they're only used to doing something which is already an exploit. It's the same thing like wall jumping, people argue not to fix walljumping because they are used to using it and errorneously consider it a tactic. If the author of any level didn't intend for something to be done, then it sohuldn't be done, regardless of how many people think it's valid.

description: Fix it. I know for a FACT that Tse-Cheng would have given you something reliable to get on were you meant to climb on the Infantry Barracks roof. Jumping up there only works 40% of the time, and if more than one person is trying it, you normally fail. That should tell you something. Furthermore, anytime a Nuclear Strike Beacon is laid up there, by the time you actually make it you're probably too late to disarm it. It doesn't matter if you find it fun to use, it wasn't intended to be there - it fucks up game balance by giving you an easy way out to using your n00b Stealth Black Hand to hide almost undetected with little fear of retaliation, unless someone gets a vehicle on the ramps behind you and sweeps the top with fire... Which doesn't disarm what you just laid down.

description: 40% of the time? Maybe if you lack discipline. If you're going to fix that, fix the bug there where you can beacon the Airstrip from the top of the bunker or the fact that you can jump on the back of the WF and beacon as well, otherwise don't bother fixing any of them. While you're at it, fix all the levels where you can teamjump onto the tops of stuff you can't get on either, if we're all worried about making things how they were intended.

More importantly, we should fix the exploit that allows anyone to jump onto the WF roof from the bridge on that same map. Beacons planted there are all but impossible to find in time, I know some people who plant them there regularly and they *always* go off.

description: It gives GDI an advantage, too, because if you get PICs or Mobiuses up there, it's extremely difficult for Nod to kill them. However, it becomes difficult for Nod to attack with Flame Tanks or Stealth Tanks, and planting nukes on the side of building can be easily countered from up top. It can be an advantage or a disadvantage for either team, depending on how they use it. Also, whether or not it was intended to be this way or not is a moot point, because we've all been playing this way for over two years now.

description: Well, since BHS can't fix any actual problems, they've had to focus on things that may or may not need fixing. Don't take this the wrong way--without the source code, the real problems can't be fixed. It's mostly academic, anyway, since it would seem to me that a large percentage of the Renegade population isn't going to give a shit in either case. Go ahead and "fix" the Barracks. You've got a humongous (60%!) majority of forum-attending players backing you. Maybe Renegade will be fun once one can't jump on the Barracks anymore. I know that's what stopped me from enjoying it.

He's right, you gotta think about this, if it weren't meant to be there, would the people who designed the map accidently put a ramp right where they had, if they had meant for you to not be able to jump on top of the barracks? Simple solution - don't fix it if it's not broken, C&C_Canyon is fine how it is, so leave it alone, I have plenty of fun on that map, just like everyone else who voted/will vote "NO!" with me. :mrgreen:

For 1, I'm not going to change my signature or name. 2, What I meant by 'treat others as you wish to be treated' is be nice to them & they'll be nice to you, not even slightly based on their signature or name. 3, Don't attempt to insult someone who's not going to be bothered by them to start, you'll just waste your time. 4, I have yet to get banned from ANY forums where I've registered (20+), shows how much you've proven to me in saying "an obnoxiously annoying signature and name that would get you banned from many forums on sight?"

description: Quote: actually, when i said acting like god, i was referring to how you can't handle criticism and won't listen to any opinions except your own. you dismiss everyone else's thoughts offhand without ever even considering their validity. and i didn't mean it as a personal attack or anything; i'm just stating the facts. if you want to be an ass to everyone, go ahead and do it. nobody really cares. but it's just plain stupid to expect people to respect you when you treat them like dog shit. If I don't listen to opinions, and can't handle criticism, why is it that I'm responding to you and reading what you're writing? It's not good to assume that "bashing what someone creates or what ignorance they write" equals "not listening to them and not taking criticism." Where did I say I wanted respect? Listening to my opinions on the subject, as the only remaining WS-affilated person to visit this forum on a regular basis, or care about what happens to the game, is probably a wise thing. It's not as if I'm out to destroy Renegade. Quote: i mean, you start arguments in the forums just because you're bored. you'll start bashing someone and when people ask why you're stirring up trouble you basically just say there's nothing else to argue about. and when people are having an intelligent discussion/argument, you're often one of the first people to start turning it into a flame war. crap like that will not earn you anyone's respect. See above. I don't care for your respect because I don't know you and you don't matter to me once I turn off my computer. Quote: oh, and that bit about "cannot take the opinions of others" made me LMFAO. that's got to be one of the most hypocritical things i've heard in a long time.... Where can you conclusively prove that I cannot take opinions of others? You can't, and you know it.

The only time it's impossible to disarm is if you get up there too late with a basic engi and you're alone and the sbh starts shooting at you... just try to avoid this situation. If the beacon is on top of the bar: 1. instead of playing hero and silently disarming it yourself, tell your team where it is before going to disarm it. 2. if multiple engis are trying to jump on top of the bar, just let them jump first so you all don't fall down.

Aircraftkiller Actually, no, who decides what goes into fixing things is Black Hand Studios. Not the community. Your votes help us decide but they're not the final judgement. and i said the community SHOULD be the ones making the decisions. this argument is really pointless though. at the end of the day, everyone's still going to hate you for being a little prick, and everyone's still going to hate me for being in FUD. i do have one question though: if you really don't care about having the respect of anyone on these forums, why are you defending yourself so vehemently when all i'm really saying is that nobody respects you and nobody should?

And yes, it is a masterpiece. It captured the imagination of all C&C players who loved this game since 1995. It captured the spirit of the genre, and expanded on it to create a game experience many of us will never be able to replace, RenAlert included. Delphi was around, because Cliff Hicks wasn't, if you remember correctly. Yes, he was busy with Generals. So? He asked this community if Glacier was something we wanted to see incorporated into the last patch. He also asked us some other questions regarding what we wanted to see in the next C&C game, and some other questions about what we liked / didn't like about this game. Seeing as I can't exactly do a database search of the old posts, I will leave it there. The background machinations of why Delphi asked don't really matter. And if this whole community helped you get where you are, then why do you continue to keep harassing it, and anyone who still enjoys it? There aren't many of us left.

For 1, I'm not going to change my signature or name. 2, What I meant by 'treat others as you wish to be treated' is be nice to them & they'll be nice to you, not even slightly based on their signature or name. 3, Don't attempt to insult someone who's not going to be bothered by them to start, you'll just waste your time. 4, I have yet to get banned from ANY forums where I've registered (20+), shows how much you've proven to me in saying "an obnoxiously annoying signature and name that would get you banned from many forums on sight?" First of all, it wasn't an insult. If you aren't bothered, why reply? I knew what you meant by the analogy, that wasn't the point. Let me refer you to a forum that cares a bit more whether or not people act like douchebags. But before I do that, let's take a look at a rule ON THIS VERY FORUM. Quote: Signature Image Size - Please keep them small as signature images should be. In other words it shouldnt be bigger than a few lines of text, or so wide that it stretches the forum page beyond its normal bounds. Just keep in mind that by definition a "signature" is a small signoff message. Anything larger than 3-4 lines of text stops becoming a sig and turns into "that big picture at the end of the post". Please also make sure that your signature image, if animated, is not over approximately 250K. This is to ensure that the modem users (yes, everyone doesn't have broadband) don't have any problems. See that little image you got of that stick man trying to kick some door in? see, in a way similar to the stick man, you're SMASHING through that rule at a world record.. some odd 300kb in fact. So not only are you inconsiderate, you're annoying a lot of 56kers (who were probably more annoyed at "pwnage runs in my blood" than anything else). Now, take a look at the somethingawful.com forum rules. Keep in mind, there are other forums out there with si…
