C&C: Renegade --> Dying since 2003™, resurrected in 2024!
I'm arranging an oldbie sniper get together. So people that know me, or were in a sniper guild known by many can join up. Mainy looking for the oldbies that may be around - this is a one off thing just for christmas. I've been asked to do it so I said yes, so who's up for it? If so tell me your details in a PM please.
The opposite of a "newbie". Anybody who's been playing for a while. I'm guessing he means at least 1 year or so.
ADM was a phase one beta tester, he's one of the few left like myself and Crimson who have been here for three years. We helped build this tiny little community. I might go for it ADM, but I need more details...
Basically it's just a mess about for the oldbies of the community to show their faces and just talk about stuff and have some fun. I've got so many good memories from the olden days of Renegade, just can't let Renegade go, lol. I'll have to sort out hosts etc, but I'll need a rough idea of who's coming. Sniping skills aren't required really, I haven't touched this game in a year.
ADM I haven't touched this game in a year. That's how I play.
uninstall it with boxing day u need to watch all the football games u nub no time for renegone.
For the love of God (literally). Please say Christmas it makes me so mad when I see how secular the world has become.
Demolition man uninstall it with boxing day u need to watch all the football games u nub no time for renegone. No one cares. You're an idiot.
DarkDemin For the love of God (literally). Please say Christmas it makes me so mad when I see how secular the world has become. To educate the uneducated. The Greek (pretty sure it's Greek) word for Christ starts with the letter X, therefore X is an abrivation for Christ, hence Xmas = Christmas. It is not meant to eliminate the word Christ, merely shorten it. Xtian is also an abrivation for Christian. It is not a secular version of the word, merely a shorter one.
Aircraftkiller ADM was a phase one beta tester, he's one of the few left like myself and Crimson............ and me... no wait, I'm a n00b who doesn't know anything about Renegade right? Or do I need to show you my beta disc?
What was your nickname, and who did you play with? I don't remember any "hulkcores" in the beta tests.

Except... why not have it be Imas? Or Jmas? I wonder if the ancient Greek for "transport helicopter" was "xport heli"?
Aircraftkiller What was your nickname, and who did you play with? I don't remember any "hulkcores" in the beta tests. I wasn't Hulkcore in beta, I don't even remember what my nickname was.
So you don't remember your own nickname, you're a newbie to this forum, you don't have a picture of your CD and you don't remember anyone you played with. Real credible there...
well i didnt do the beta test but i got the game the week it came out....
There I changed the title, but please keep this thread on-topic.
Aircraftkiller So you don't remember your own nickname, you're a newbie to this forum, you don't have a picture of your CD and you don't remember anyone you played with. Real credible there... To be honest, I didn't play the beta that much, but I did play it. If I was at my parent's house where the old cd is, if it hasn't been thrown away, I would send you a pic. But I really don't care. My point in posting was to point out that you aren't part of some elite few who have played Renegade since it came out. And besides that, all you do now is bitch about how much it's a shitty game.
He IS part of the elite few, whether you are or not.
a kid in my clan used to play the beta version, dont know wut version, but his name was SeniorSnipe. I myself played RTS versions until getting renegade about a year and a half ago.
I didn't get in the beta but I was right there along side the beta'ers *sighing* and delighting in the bug reports of crazy things... Back then I was Dodongomon though.
Oh yeah? Well I didn't play beta but... I'm one of the few, the elite, the proud, demo testers. So go to hell.
I'm a newbie! I only play about 2 years!!11!1!!!one!1! :oops:

Yes I know that but most of the uneducated public doesn't there for making it sound secular.
I am game, I am a real oldbie. lol I have been around for 3 years aswell. I wanna know more!
A n00b that has been around for a long time=0ldb Not directed at anybody.
SeaMan A n00b that has been around for a long time=0ldb .......You sir, are a moron. Seriously. Okay so when is this gonna be happening, Christmas day, or that weekend?
Sounds like a good idea. Just post up some details soon. I sure do remember you ADM, gave me a couple good butt whippings in clanners. Though surely doubt there would be any recollection of me. Ya just like C4Miner said "proud demo tester", that was a fun three months of just C&C Under! Good ole days!
Yeah I was a demo tester too. Good ol' GaySpy days.
You aren't an oldbie. You're more like a "middlebie" since the only oldbies are the ones from the beta testing. This includes people like FalconXL, Crimson, myself, ADM, Sukhoi, Ratkilr4, YV_Seth (what an idiot), Taximes, Scrumfy, Vash, Kingdud and about 200 others... As time goes by I forget who they are.
i dont see in anyway how being in the beta would make you "elite". so you were in the beta big deal... doesnt mean you are actually elite at the game... and so to be an oldbie you had to play the game in beta? seems like a stupid thing to me... an oldbie could just be someone who had gotten the game as soon as it was available to the public... but thats just my opinoin... and ADM ill try to make it if you get a time and date put out... and ill see if i can get ahold of cpt if you want him to play?
And your opinion is wrong. Most beta testers were really good at the game with the exception of YV_Seth, who was the most moronic player I've ever come across. This guy was seriously a Nod fanatic. He went above and beyond the level of "OMG NOD RULEZZZZZZz" and the idiots that play fanboy with Reborn and their "OMG REBORN RULEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" comments, but delved to the point of complete and utter worship of Nod. This guy lived, slept, and ate Nod. That is all he thought about. When he joined a game, if he didn't get on the Nod team, he would scream out "NO GDI NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" over and over and finally leave the game... Only to rejoin again to say "NOOOOOOOO GDI NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" and keep trying. He never realized that you can't just constantly rejoin to get on a different team. After a while he simply disappeared... And I'm glad. He was an idiot.
ApocXS i dont see in anyway how being in the beta would make you "elite". so you were in the beta big deal... doesnt mean you are actually elite at the game... and so to be an oldbie you had to play the game in beta? seems like a stupid thing to me... an oldbie could just be someone who had gotten the game as soon as it was available to the public... but thats just my opinoin... and ADM ill try to make it if you get a time and date put out... and ill see if i can get ahold of cpt if you want him to play? You read my mind. I agree 100%. I was playing renegade demo the first day it got out and bought renegade when it got out in the stores.
Well, I'll get Renegade out of the attic sometime and come play with you guys. We'll see how a "middlebie" compares with an "oldbie".
I don't like snipe only shit but if i could play with only ppl from the beta on a server i would prolly give ren a try again. It was way more fun and good team work. After release only idiots were around.
It would be fun to play with you again, ADM.

Please get hold of Cpt. I don't really mind how the games go, I suppose we could have a special beta tester reunion or something along those lines. Aswell as an oldbie sniper reunion. I consider a oldbie sniper someone with a well known name and reputation aswell as experience behind them. They don't have to be a beta tester to be an oldbie sniper - as sniping didn't really take off during beta. And for dates, well I was hoping for between 22nd December and 28th December or something like that. We could have quite a few organised games, and I also need some offers for a host. 16+ player hosting will be need I think.
Demolition man I don't like snipe That's because you always sucked at it. Remember the WOL vs. GSA games?
Aircraftkiller This includes people like FalconXL, Crimson, myself, ADM, Sukhoi, Ratkilr4, YV_Seth (what an idiot), Taximes, Scrumfy, Vash, Kingdud and about 200 others... As time goes by I forget who they are. me

Chubakah, Morge0214(me) and Cjscotch. Those were 3 clanmembers that I used to play Tiberian Sun that got to play the Demo and Chubakah got to play the private Beta testing. I got to play a few games with him on his beta account and I really don't see why you people are proud...Is it because You haven't been into many betas? For me It was just a laggy and full of glitches game at that time, the Demo was a little bit better, but still when the game went live that's when It became the most fun.
You can't go five seconds without complaining about Reborn, can you, Aircraftkiller?
No one mentioned Reborn itself until you did. Talking about their fanbase is not talking about Reborn. Even if I can't "go five seconds without mentioning Reborn," what business is it of yours?

Stryder Yeah I was a demo tester too. Good ol' GaySpy days. Ya the best three months of GaySpy I've ever had....lol I've always been afraid of clicking that link after WOL went live.
Javaxcx Demolition man I don't like snipe That's because you always sucked at it. Remember the WOL vs. GSA games? i remember everything And i didn't suck at sniping i just didn't like to do it.

I would have never said it b/c my snipe kills were fine. Its just to boring to do and i mostly played on us servers (so higher ping) And its not like sniping in ren was hard...
Aircraftkiller ...and the idiots that play fanboy with Reborn and their "OMG REBORN RULEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" ..... no, you never mentioned reborn.

Sure the beta players have played the longest, and were by far better when the game came out. I probably havn't played enough with some of them but just because someone is a beta player doesn't make them elite. Also I'd consider anyone who got the game (beta or soon after release) and oldbie.
Homey Sure the beta players have played the longest, and were by far better when the game came out. I probably havn't played enough with some of them but just because someone is a beta player doesn't make them elite. Also I'd consider anyone who got the game (beta or soon after release) and oldbie. for me its just about how there was played in the beta. It was way more fun then after release. ppl in the beta knew to listen...
I think ADM should tell us what HE means by "oldbie" because apparently no one can agree on what it means.

I probably havn't played enough with some of them but just because someone is a beta player doesn't make them elite. Also I'd consider anyone who got the game (beta or soon after release) and oldbie. Same thing I said before...but like I said...my guess is that, They feel so proud because they haven't participated in many betas. I do remember all of the "oldbies" that have replied this message so far, but I haven't really seen a lot of really Skilled people...just people that started playing the game at the same time as me, but Quit playing it in less than 1/2 year. While the only person here that has been as active on this game at least for 2 years just like me is Homey. Again I'm not trying to insult anyone, but that's the way I remember that happened.
I think I may have been more loyal to Renegade if I didn't get my laptop taken away from me. Once that happened, I didn't have anything to play Ren on, so it was quickly forgotten, and then I tried playing it again when I had the capability to, and everything was different. I sucked more, and there were more and more idiots.
My definition of an oldbie is someone with extensive experience, so those people who were in demo or people who had the game since it was released would be in my opinion an oldbie. Although I also want a beta tester only match. Also, I've beta tested about 30+ games, and believe me they don't come remotely near to the beta experience with Renegade. Those who didn't participate in the Renegade beta test won't know what us beta testers went through. That's why most of the beta testers in Renegade go on about it so much - it was unique. I'll quite happily organise more matchs so others can play, don't worry I won't limit the fun. So you 'middlebies' and whoever else wants to play should get to.
aaah the good ol' days with ceo and aoa.. i'm in! under4ever
Iv been here since the demo, renegade was my first fps but i deleted it long ago and dont plan on reinstalling it, well have fun and mary christmas!
Of course, The memorial christmas oldbie game is a SNIPING match... The hell with it, When's it gonna go down? I'm not a well known sniper or nuttin but I'm an ancient midbie, So I guess if yall'll let me I'll join in.
ADM I'll have to sort out hosts etc *cough*Crimson*cough* I didn't beta test, but I'll be there anyway I guess..
did you guys already manage a server? i think there are enough people here which like to host this..
played the demo then scrounged some funds up for renegade within the first 1-2 weeks after it was released, it being my first fps i didnt know you couldnt play with 56k all too well so i put renegade on hold and stuck to ra2 and ts -_- had quite a few name changes first i beleive was spark2008
Now now, you haven't forgotten about little ole me have you? Don't hog all the credit for being the best sniper ADM...I still killed you plenty of times Peace out, -Kingdud
"Whoohoo look at me I was in the beta therefore I must be elite and be remembered for that". Fact is there is and always be better players in there who we class as "elite" and not you.
I'm sorry to say this but the event isn't going to happen. Nothing has gone to plan, typical thing for me. Sorry for those who were waiting for this.
fact is i will setup an eight player gamespy sniper server called Oldbie sniperwar on the 26th of December, oldbies will be able to play there.. ok I know small but good
