C&C: Renegade --> Dying since 2003™, resurrected in 2024!
well renegade hit the fan, doent seem like its going anywhere anymore. Im switching to HL2. Hell they may have servers even.... All this time with renegade is hard to let go. Remember the first time you got buildings to show up in leveledit? Geeze. Or the first item you correctly boned, and it actually works ingame. Edited: Removed to satify admin
I highly suggest that you remove any links to locations where you can warez Half-Life². HL2 should be supported, not downloaded by people who can't spare $60 for a game that is well worth it.
oh i can spare it. Im just not going to. cough (link removed)cough
glyde51 HELL NO! NOT YOU TOO! yep me too
oblivion165 Or the first item you correctly boned
Sexist.

Valve is running a fake warez version of Half-Life 2. If you download it you'll never be able to play it even if you bought it.
Omfg LOOOOOOSERRRRR. WAREZ R 4 SQUAREZ
I moved to HL2, too...to bad some asshole had to come too... :rolleyes:
bye. If you pirated HL2 instead of paying the creators for the peice of art they made over the past few years , i condem you to hell.
lmao, think of all the things you spent money on that are worthless now. I have like 40 n64 games i spent 60 buck a pop on and now they are worth crap. hell renegade cost $10 now. Every company i support just sells out to EA.
oh come on ffs, those games were worth it. I have like 10 N64 games and they're all good, I mean, if you liked the game it was worth your money at the time right? that's like saying you spent 50p on bread 6 months ago, now you have regurgitated the bread and it is worth crap. anyway they aren't worthless, you can still sell n64 games as well as the console just shop around. see if you can find a shop called "gamestation". it might only be UK based but they sell old consoles like mega-drives, n64s, etc, trade and sell games, as well as sell new releases.
LMAO... Good luck pirating Half-Life 2. If you succeed, Steam bans you from the game forever.
oblivion165 hell renegade cost $10 now. No, no,no I payed $2.50 for C&C Renegade in a game pack with 4 other EA games. But all the games except Renegade are dead.
Next time you should use common sense to realize I wasn't talking to you. And if he already downloaded the pirated version, then he's fucked.
I know this is off-topic, but as you replied while I was updating my signature, I want to remind you that Nova Studios is no more and that is why you've lost your site. NeoX Indeed he is. Yet... Oblivion's first post. Oblivion165 For those of you who would like to goto their local Kazaa or Bittorrent retail outlet to get HL2 i got the link to a torrent below. I got the whole thing in less than a day. So it has good treaffic. Once again READ the posts! :rolleyes: What are you trying to show me? That he was offering a torrent to download Half-Life 2? I don't see your point?
Oblivion165 For those of you who would like to goto their local Kazaa or Bittorrent retail outlet to get HL2 i got the link to a torrent below. I got the whole thing in less than a day. So it has good treaffic. Then let me correct you. The text that is bolded shows that he downloaded it illegally. I don't see what you're trying to correct me on.
he is trying to say that he (oblivion) hasn't been banned from the game, as you suggested would happen, because he already got the game.
..how am i fucked, i got it, and it works fine. Online plays great. I hope you know there is always a patch to anything. Im sorry but its true. Give it a month or so and youll see EA move in and fuck the whole thing up. I waited 7 years for goldeneye 2. EA made it and it blows ass. Great companies go under even if pirates dont mess with it. RARE went under long before the first N64 emu came out. And i somewhat agree with NeoX, i would like to try the product first, hell i own three copies of renegade, and 4 mint copies of FF7, because they earned their status. So far half life 2 is a big let down. just like Halo. First 8 hours your just on a swamp bike, and you cant even see your hands. The game has just started and its already so repetative its sickning. The lvs are impressive in detail though. I say lock this, it isnt going anywhere.
You guys aren't listenning. I'm trying to warn you oblivion, Valve made a warez version as a trap and experiment. They even announced it. People who use it will be banned from Steam eventually and will not be able to register on Steam again, meaning you won't be able to play Half-Life 2 again, even if you bought it.
bigejoe14 Valve is running a fake warez version of Half-Life 2. If you download it you'll never be able to play it even if you bought it. Okay, sure... Unless of course you know how to backup your registry before install.. or at worst, reinstall your OS..
Either way, he's a fucking idiot for just downloading it with the intent of keeping it and not using it just as a trial. I don't see how he can say it's a big let down. The game is awesome. Plus, there's more to it than just the SP...hence why they have CS:S.
oh yeah every two feet is another gate....thats all kinds of great storyline. Also the limited distance render is shitty, 5 feet away and i cant see a bottle.
Jesus Christ you guys are all flipping out and OMG VALVES WAREZ VERSION U RE TEH SCRWWED!!!!! You don't have to download a warez version. I know a large group of people who all chipped in a little bit to purchase a single instance of HL2. They all logged on and downloaded HL2. Steam doesn't care how many people play the Single player. If 500,000 people coordinated and all wanted to play hl2. They could buy gold, They would have to pay a 180th of a cent. To ALL play. Now if anyone wants to play the Multiplayer they can't do that, Which I would assume Oblivion does seeing as he wants to mod it. I just wanted to point out that while Valve thinks they're so smart, and you all praise them, they left a huge ass whole... lol
msgtpain bigejoe14 Valve is running a fake warez version of Half-Life 2. If you download it you'll never be able to play it even if you bought it. Okay, sure... Unless of course you know how to backup your registry before install.. or at worst, reinstall your OS.. Too bad that won't do shit, since you have to log into Steam to run the game. Also, Doitle, what you said about many people sharing has a flaw. You can share it, but you can't play it more than once at a time with one account. I don't get why people think you can avoid logging onto Steam or that Single Player does not require Steam. You DO have to log in for both Multiplayer and Single Player... Get it right damnit.
Soo, what happens when someone buys it and they don't have a internet connection?
Then they're fucked, lol. Trust me, I don't support this log into Steam thing either.
Actually, no, you only need to unlock your game once with that steam program and it's history. of course you need it for multiplayer: the server listings and game joining/hosting is through steam!
Internet connection is listed in the minimum requirements too.
lol Icedog like I said. Steam doesn't care if 500,000 people log in with the same name. As long as they don't all play CS:S It doesn't care. Like I said I know alot of people sharing one HL2 instance. They all can login to Steam with their joint account and play HL2.
flyingfox Actually, no, you only need to unlock your game once with that steam program and it's history. of course you need it for multiplayer: the server listings and game joining/hosting is through steam! You are correct, log in once for SP and then you don't need to again Tilly
icedog90 You guys aren't listenning. I'm trying to warn you oblivion, Valve made a warez version as a trap and experiment. They even announced it. People who use it will be banned from Steam eventually and will not be able to register on Steam again, meaning you won't be able to play Half-Life 2 again, even if you bought it. Valve didn't release any kind of warez version. They just tracked who was downloading the crack that was already out, and then banned all 20,000 of their accounts.
Flyingfox, wtf are you talking about? I have to log in to play Half-Life 2 every time, it doesn't let me play without logging in. If you have proof, then show me. And Doitle, trust me, Steam isn't stupid enough to not let any account be duplicated.
only makes you log in the first time for Sp.
oblivion165 only makes you log in the first time for Sp. Duh, I keep hearing that, but I want to know how. WHENEVER I launch Half-Life 2 it ALWAYS logs in.
You don't get it. You log in. Steam doesn't care if two or 500,000 people are logged in at the steam My Games screen. Only when you attempt to play CS:S does it flag you. Like I said these people all just log in and play HL2 with impunity. That's the big flaw of steam's I'm talking about. Icedog go test it, give your username and password to a friend and have them log in, then you log in. Surprise surprise, nothing happens. Just don't both play CS:S at the same time.
You need to lower down a bit and stop jumping to conclusions so easily. Of course I understand what you're talking about, why wouldn't I? You need to slow down a bit and realize that I said I wanted proof about this, but you keep going on and on about how I'm wrong and it does work. Just chill, ok? Since you failed to provide evidence, I went and did it myself and it worked. There, happy?
I told you where to get evidence. I can't show it any other way. I hope you don't expect me to fly to your house with two computers and show you that I'm logging in at the same time? Obviously you didn't understand what I was talking about when you said: Quote: WHENEVER I launch Half-Life 2 it ALWAYS logs in. Yes, you DO log in. You just don't play CS:S. You log in, your buddy logs in, EVERYBODY logs in. Even with the same SN, Steam doesn't care. You log in, click HL2 icon and you go.
Doitle I told you where to get evidence. I can't show it any other way. I hope you don't expect me to fly to your house with two computers and show you that I'm logging in at the same time? Evidence for me would mean you doing it yourself. I trust you enough that I know you wouldn't lie to me. Doitle Obviously you didn't understand what I was talking about when you said: Quote: WHENEVER I launch Half-Life 2 it ALWAYS logs in. I wasn't talking to you when I said that.
I thought that one quote was directed at me. I retract the statement about that. I give my word that it works though... You know? That's just the thing, I've seen it done. I've been there when they did it. Not like "This D\/de on teh aim telld me dat j000 canm log en 2 tymes." But Actually seeing it done. I was skeptical too but like I say, There are several people I know and have watched them, log on and all play HL2 in one account. They ask each other if anyones playing CS:S before they go on so they can all play that without raising suspicions.
Well, while we're on the subject, are you sure Valve doesn't care if I were to use that to let my dad play or to play a LAN with my sister? I don't want to risk getting myself banned for good...
I don't know about even LANing CS:S... If your dad wanted to play HL2 while you were it would work but, CS:S is the part that Valve does care about. I am not sure in that instance.
oblivion165 oh yeah every two feet is another gate....thats all kinds of great storyline. Also the limited distance render is shitty, 5 feet away and i cant see a bottle. What video card are you running? Everything looks perfect on my 9800 Pro

What if i stole half life 2 froma store, would i still be able to play it or do they do like a barcode check or something?
You'll be back. THere is no game like Renegade available. Renegade is more like a 'genre' by itself. Once this genre gets a hold of you once, you will keep coming back for it. [zunnie]
zunnie You'll be back. THere is no game like Renegade available. Renegade is more like a 'genre' by itself. Once this genre gets a hold of you once, you will keep coming back for it. [zunnie] Yep, tried all kinda big-name antidotes: BattleField, CounterStrike, Ghost Recon, Call o'Doody, FarCry, Lock-On (cool flightsym someone tried to get me into), UT2004 (still play that a bit), SW BattleFront, Halo, Half-Life2 & others that I can't think of...But, I still come back to the ol' venerable Renegade.
abakshi oblivion165 oh yeah every two feet is another gate....thats all kinds of great storyline. Also the limited distance render is shitty, 5 feet away and i cant see a bottle. What video card are you running? Everything looks perfect on my 9800 Pro Yeah, I'm with abakshi - you got problems w/ your vid card if you don't feel that the graphics are less than phenomenal w/ HL2. BTW, I was suprised as well when I didn't see hands gripping the "swamp scooter" bars as well...all that attention to detail & no hands? Go figure..?
i got a geforce4 and a gig stick of ram, so its not the hardware. its just the half-rendering thing. Its a good game, it was to short for me though. Yet most games have a limited story line. Overall it deserved my money, so i ordered a clean copy of amazon. From a distance: Up Close: Hell it might even be fixable, i havent looked at the options yet. It sucks because my brother and i will race swamp buggies and im hauling ass, then all of the sudden there is a pile of barrels infront of me. though in the right mood it makes it more fun.
A GeForce 4 is not a great video card any more.... The game looks fine, and nothing pops up in front of me with my 9800 Pro and 512 Mb of RAM.
zunnie You'll be back. THere is no game like Renegade available. Renegade is more like a 'genre' by itself. Once this genre gets a hold of you once, you will keep coming back for it. until it makes you want to puke playing the same official levels over and over with the same n00b ramjet users with their never-giving-up snipeathon.
SuperFlyingEngi A GeForce 4 is not a great video card any more.... The game looks fine, and nothing pops up in front of me with my 9800 Pro and 512 Mb of RAM. its still decent, and a gig stick....there isnt any commercial or domestic program my comp cant handle. I do mean Unix and etc aswell.
I think a GF4 is still enough to give you those vision artifacts you talk about. I've never seen anything like that occuring to me - definitely sounds like a hardware problem.
Renegade is a one of a kind game, I admit it, but once CnC Commando comes out, I sadly say, that I may leave Renegade to weekends only. I will not ever abandon it, I have tried. The Renegade community is like no other, and only a mod that ports Renegade could make me waver in my loyalty. I shall see how Commando is like, never really liked RenAlert or Reborn. Maybe I will try out the RenEvo mod for HL2 that makes the Dead Six return, but I will never know. Hands down, Renegade is a game that no other can top, the perfect mix of strategy and such. Maybe one day a small company like Westwood all on its own will buy the Command and Conquer lisence, restore it to it's glory, and make a Renegade 2. I swear, they would make MILLIONS off of that. If CnC Commando for the Source engine can pull off a clone of Renegade, I will play the original less. Commando is the only candidate I see for me to make a clan in, and even so, Commando will NEVER be anything as good as Renegade. The Renegade engine was specifically designed for this perfect mix of strategy, and let's all face it, if a company took the idea and made a game like it, MANY Renegade fans would pack up and move. Renegade is as good as it is because of the perfect mix of strategy and shooting. Never, even with all the games I own, have I seen a game where people really do work as a team. People rush, make strategies, and use perfected combonations of people to achieve a victory. Only one game that was cancelled could ever have taken on the role of this perfect blend of strategy, teamwork, and action. It's name was Command and Conquer Renegade 2. EA got that shut down. For all of you that were just action, gung-ho jocks, you'll never see into the delicate, wonderful gaming CnC Renegade offered. You will never understand how much Renegade really does make action games look good. All you can see are graphics, better engines, and more people. You never saw into how really advanced the W3D engine was, even for now, it still is fairly recent. It's too bad that the community of Renegade players slowy dwindles, but for people that REALLY cared about the game, they won't stop until they are the few. I was told by a clan member to let go of Renegade and join them in CS: Source. I said: "I'd rather play CnC Rengade, you will never understand why." They never did. So I just continued on, because CnC Renegade is a genre of it's own. It's a FPS Strategy game. I will always be looking for the game, or mod, that is perfect just like Renegade. But until then I will stay here, on WOL and in these forums, and stay until the most dedicated of the dedicated to this game quit, also known as Black Hand Studios. That's all I have to say.
I got this game today, it was worth the money. BTW, my steam nick= prox1x if anyone wants to own me on CS: Source
zunnie You'll be back. THere is no game like Renegade available. Renegade is more like a 'genre' by itself. Once this genre gets a hold of you once, you will keep coming back for it. [zunnie] I must have a lot of will power, because I've had no desire to even attempt Renegade again. I havn't played it for like a month without CoD and HL2 to distract me.

Good idea. Anybody want the cd key before I burn the case and cds? (joking, of course)
I meant burn you... but meh, I like FIRE :twisted:

Uh, that has NOTHING to do with Half-Life 2. Everything renders very far for me, and the game looks hella better than that. Turn up your settings and maybe you won't feel like you wasted your money.
SWMOD is staying with Renegade right IceDog??? ICEDOG???
What is this "SWMOD" you speak of? (I'm joking) Yes, we're staying with Renegade until we release a half decent/decent mod.
thank god, I was getting so scared about mods in Renegade moving that I was about to pull the plug on some of our clans mod sectors...
We decided we weren't going to waste a couple years of talent and good work for nothing.
Thank you, I admire your team very much (When I grow up I wanna be like IceDog)
Wow... a POSITIVE hijack. Awesome. And Glyde, if you wan't to grow up big and strong eat your Vegetables.
oblivion165 SuperFlyingEngi A GeForce 4 is not a great video card any more.... The game looks fine, and nothing pops up in front of me with my 9800 Pro and 512 Mb of RAM. its still decent, and a gig stick....there isnt any commercial or domestic program my comp cant handle. I do mean Unix and etc aswell. Except for Half-Life 2, apparently. After all, GeForce 4s don't have hardware support for DirectX 9.0, so that's probably where the problem's coming from.
I have a Geforce FX that's set on DirectX 8.1, Half-Life 2 looks the best and runs like a champ. DirectX 9.0 isn't that much different, in my opinion.
Actually, there's quit alot of difference. I don't remember where... but I saw a screenshot that tested every DirectX. Some where transparency and fires looked like crap... another where everything looks fine (DirectX 9.0c).
I tested it myself, I agree it looks better, but not by much in my opinion. I don't want 20 fps, I want 40+.
This is what i was talking about. and no im not that bad at the game, i just wasnt worried about it. Watch the barrels, a very good example is at the end of the video, look to the right. Xvid Coded Required. http://www.dr-oblivion.com/hl2.rar
Yeah, that NEVER happens to me. It's your computer/settings. Has nothing to do with Half-Life 2's engine.
If Half-Life2 is messing up, its not the game engine. I have had the same problem. Do an anti virus scan on te disc or your hard drive it is already installed. I found the Trojan Horse on mine. If my estimate is correct, then you will have some nasy little virus in your hard drive as well. Norton Anti-Virus, if you have it, then it should contain the virus rather quickly. I don't trust any other virus protector.
oblivion165 i got a geforce4 and a gig stick of ram...
Geforce 4 is inaccurate. There are many kinds of Geforce 4's out there. Geforce 4 MX 400 Geforce 4 MX 420 Geforce 4 MX 440 64mb Geforce 4 MX 440 128mb Geforce 4 Ti 4200 Geforce 4 Ti 4400 Geforce 4 Ti 4600 Geforce 4 Ti 4800 Anything else I'm missing? So yeah, they all are way different from each other.
There is no such thing as a Geforce 4 MX 4000
Yes there is. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=763670&CatId=880 That is my card.
Well, no fucking duh Half-Life 2 is going to do that shit, you have a $30 card that's been out-dated for years. Don't expect a highly advanced game engine to run the best and look the best on a very out-dated card.
its 50 dollars, they just had a rebate on it for black friday.
Meaning it's $30. Even $50 is very low.
its still a $50 card, well 50 dollars starting tommorow. if you look at the radions they are about the same: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Category/category_tlc.asp?CatId=28 except of course the beasts. and those are the low end ones anyway.
Those cheap ones are old too. The $150 - $200 ones are the ones that can handle Half-Life 2 to run like it should. You're way behind.
You need a new fucking graphics card to run Half-Life 2 to the best of its abilities.
i agree, i bought the card way back when galaxies came out. but as for the requirements for hl2 im well set: --Required Windows 98/ME/2000/XP 1.2 Ghz processor 256 MB of RAM DirectX 7 compatible graphics card --Recommended Windows 98/ME/2000/XP 2.4 Ghz processor 512 MB of RAM DirectX 9 enabled graphics card Internet Access may not be the best, but will handle it easily.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS = It will look like and run like shit.
Oblivion, stop being so damn oblivious to the fact that JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN RUN IT DOESN'T MEAN IT WILL RUN PERFECTLY. Ever wonder why the recommended settings are different from the minimum requirements? Maybe because the Recommended means it will play to the best of its capabilities, and minimum requirements just means that it can play it without any MAJOR problems.
