C&C: Renegade --> Dying since 2003™, resurrected in 2024!
1.repair in the field when control of the field is not to the advantage of n00bs team it is funny sometimes, as i have stolen vehicles doing it. but there have been other times where someone on my team gets out of a stank to repair mid-field, then gets sniped to hell, which leaves me as an SBH to jump in the stank and return it to base. how often do you people see other people doing it? 2. a one-man apc rush people buy apcs, jump in them, and ride to the enemies base on their own. they get to the enemies base and either: - have their apc destroyed leaving a shell for the enemy to repair - sucessfully get to the building but have their apc stolen and their attack neutralised. isnt it annoying when someone on your team does this? can anyone think of anymore? or dont you agree with me? all comments appreciated.
I think you should change your first entry. When I first read it, I thought you meant that following a tank with a Hotwire and repairing it is n00bish when your team doesn't control the feild, which is just silly. 3. When you're on GDI, shooting at Stealth Tanks your teamates have stolen, thereby revealing them. 4. Buying an Orca/Apache (Or any unit) when the last 12 you bought got ripped apart by snipers (Or equivilent counter) before even leaving the base. 5. Blocking your own teams harvester, intentionally. 6. Stealing a teamate's vehicle, especially if it's a stolen vechicle from the enemy, and especially when you get it killed without putting them to good use. 7. Use the GDI Rocket Officer when there's no reason not to use Gunner. 8. Insist on helping themselves instead of their team (i.e, refusing to disarm a beacon because you want to drive a Mammoth Tank instead, Not changing into an Engineer to save a dying structure, etc)
9) cheating 10) spamming 11) trying to place beacon as an sbh even though the other team has working base defence 12) refilling on sniper server 13) clickbot 14) trying to rush on your own/with very little backup 15) driving a vech on field even though it is full of raveshaws 16) overmining (god i hate that!) 17) beacon spamming (i hate that as well) 18) on a sniper server, tunnel looping 19) big head cheat/hack/what ever you would call it. (this is funny i tryed it lol) 20) Obi gliching
Well actually I did a one man apc rush, or should I say rushes. It was UNDER and it was a small game, I belive it was around 4 per team. I was on GDI I kept rushing and rushing and rushing, and after the second time I ended up with about 1000 or more credits. I know one thing, and that is: I sure kept the other team on their alert. When I had about 1500 credits or more then I donated to the team. Eventually we rushed them with Apc's and Meds.(Which I helped buy by doing one man Apc rushes) I don't think that there were vehicle shells in that server.

You know, the original 2 points are actually very good things to do in small games.
Goztow wrote on Thu, 17 August 2006 02:24 You know, the original 2 points are actually very good things to do in small games. I was about to say similar - I always repair in the field, I just dont get out stand still and rep for 5 minutes waiting for it to be stolen. I will use a hottie/tech and repair in short bursts whilst keeping an eye for snipers/sbh - it beats never repairing or having to go all the way back to base to do it. And one man APC rush is often a good idea, for example if you are on the defensive and can sneak out whilst everyone else defends. Everything else seemed obvious but valid to me.

help-linux wrote on Wed, 16 August 2006 20:47 12) refilling on sniper server N00bish item 1: Aiming for the body on a sniper server. I don't care who you are, if you're not willing to hit them in the head, don't complain when they refill.
-blocking your team's damaged vehicles from entering your base for repairs on Field, ESPECIALLY if you blame them for being "scared to get hit."
people who sit in their own base, when defences are up spamming "I need repairs" like they don't know how to work a repair gun.
someone did that to me earlier on. we were on mesa, a small game, and the n00b just sat there in his tank radioing 'i need repairs' i kept telling him to go an engineer, and when he finally listens, he leaves his tank on the entrance to the base, which was in good enough range for an enemy rav to take it out.
You know if someone else repairs the tank, it's benefical to the team because of points, right?
we won that game anyway, as when me and some other guy were attacking the power plant with meds, they werent reapiring it so we destroyed it no probs. then i went back to the base, got a mobius and a beacon and took out the hand of nod, someone else took out the airstrip and ref, and then tried for the obi. they failed destroying the obi, but i took a mammy over to the base and finished what was left of it.

It would be more beneficial if said n00b repaired himself and didn't waste 10 minutes doing nothing except spamming, expecting someone else to waste their time on him/her and all they gotta do is !bl the tank and they get the points for repairing.

The no looping stuff is the worst bullshit I ever saw on snipe servers. One of the funniest parts in sniping is the fact you try to hide from people why shooting them. The element of surprise is also very nice. It's not all about the one that's best at hugging that damn wall, now is it?
HOW DARE YOU ATTACK FROM A DIRECTION I'M NOT LOOKING IN
in one sniper server (sod gaming) it is against the rules to 'tunnel loop' and you could get kicked if you get caught doing it. then again, some of these 'sniping' servers have a 'tunnel only' rule, and arent what you'd expect a sniping server to be, as most of the time, the 'sniping' is short range!

I agree, but on servers like n00bstories, there is no !bl feature. A lot of the time (Especially in APCs or Humvees), I don't have an Engineer or Hotwire. Usually I lug around a Gunner or PIC Syndey or something in those cases. If the barracks is down, I'm not about to give up a PIC Syndney when there are three Hotwires sitting around me with nothing to do. Renegade is still a team-based game. A little helping out your teammates won't hurt. I always stop and repair any wayward vechs when I can. Is it so wrong to expect the same in return?
with the situation i was in: yes; as we had all our buildings, there werent many on their team. they werent assaulting us so it wasnt like repairs were desperately needed. it was on mesa so we had the agt defending us, all he had to do was quickly run to a pt and get an engi/hottie. and yes, we were on a server where !bl worked. in other situations i'd say no(say like they were rushing and repairs needed to be done simultanious to defending)

I play almost exclusively on n00bstories, where the server is always full (20 per team), and !bl hasn't been implemented.
Dover wrote on Mon, 21 August 2006 15:35 I play almost exclusively on n00bstories, where the server is always full (20 per team), and !bl hasn't been implemented. To be honnest: 20 per team is way too many. But I guess that's personal preference.
help-linux wrote on Tue, 22 August 2006 13:49 and somthimes longer, but not boring Yeah, right...
It makes it actaully feel like a real Tiberian Dawn fight.
i like playing in servers that have alot of poeple, i just dont like the lag it creates. but i suppoze it all comes down to opinion
that day i was GDI playing on Under, trefinery was destroyed, i had a med tank, and after killing so many enemies to buy a mammoth, i left my med for someone to take it nd b4 i even reached my new mammy some noob takes it nd destroys my previous med, nd den got it destroyed b4 it even reached the ENEMIES BASE ppl when u buy a tank ur frickin money goes down if ur money doesnt go down after buying a tank then ITS NOT YOOOUUURS
also, it will say at the top 'purchase request granted' (or something similar) and a default sound of havoc sayin "keep 'em comin'" n00bs dont notice this though, and will get a tank that they havnt bought. i had some n00b before in a server who, as soon as i got out an orca to repair it, jumped straight in it and was hesitant about giving it back.
I purchased something... my money goes down... but it never comes out of air/con... Is that n00bish?
When a teammate n00b overmines so much and so fast(like rigging someone up with remotes), he manages to erase the c4 you put on a building before it goes off.
help-linux wrote on Thu, 17 August 2006 03:47 16) overmining (god i hate that!)
The n00b technicians on mesa when they go get a buggy to wall jump in the middle of the game when the other team has loads of meds and mammies PLUS a load of 1000 cred infantry classes dont you think thats a tiny bit overwhelming and impossible to work? ONLY WALLJUMP AT THE FIRST PART OF THE GAME!
or... dont wall jump at all
Buying aircraft and flying to the top of the map without having a clue that the E button will bring you back down.
sometomes though, it happens by accident, like a typo, as the E is right by the W. it's quite funny actually, cos someone made this mistake on walls once. i was NOD, and we were pinned down by orcas, so i decided to get an apache to slow down their attack, and i beat them off quite well. but on of their drivers pressed E, and was hgh enough off the ground to die. so one of my teammates repairs the empty orca, gets in it, and me an him go for the ref. what he did was, he nuked the ref roof while i covered him. so with me and him covering the nuke, it was bye-bye refinery. it goes to show, one little mistake could ruin an entire game for ypu lol
Other thing that is hateful: 15vs15 in a map with base defense, be the ONLY 1 using a vehicle, the others are low chars , ore SNIPING in tunnel!

- 90% of your team goes sbh and gdi has full defense up. - Won’t trade in your weapon for a repair gun to save a building - Buying a flamer during a stank rush then flaming the stanks - Placing mines outside the doors - Placing 2 mines per door cause you want to make them last, you might as well not put any down at all. - Buying a vehicle just so you can camp a crate
no just didnt want to start a new one since this one was already here. sorry didnt know reading old threads and responding to them was a bad thing. just figured since the topic was already here why make a new one about the same thing.
for some strange reason, you should expect a flame ing contest after you bunp a thread
ok i wont bump anymore, ill just start new threads about topics already covered. no biggie. I guess old threads are only for reading. I have no problem with that.
i have no problem with bumping as long as it is something genuine but for some reason alot of other people have a big problem with it
Just curious for the ones out there who are against this like the person who posted? At what point is it still ok to respond to a topic without getting someone whining about bumping?
There is no real clear dividing line, but I'd say somewhere between 3-4 weeks of no activity. Unless, like was mentioned, something very relevant comes up. Not simply something to add (you missed your chance), but something relating to information discussed in that topic. At least, this is how I've always viewed the dead thread idea.
when your whole team is SBH/afk and your the only guy with a tank actually defending. when some SBH are actually scared to kill the free engineers (spelt that wrong ) and they let them kill a building, when you think about it, a sbh can easily KILL basic character.. stupid noobs. when your teammate gives the other team a tank, FOR FREE! :/

5. Blocking your own teams harvester, intentionally. This really all depends on the situation. Blocking the harvey can actually help you win if you think about it in the terms of them not being able to get pointed off it.
- Buying Apaches/Flames/Lights when everyone is blatantly screaming 'STANKS!!!' (especially if someone donates you 4 stank) - Calling for Mammoth Rushes - FFS MAMMOTHS DONT RUSH THEY CRAWL (although they can be fun and they are 1337 with proper support) - Complaining about refilling (learn how to "HEADSHOT") - Complaining about Pedistal Beacons (Learn how to "DEFEND") - Complaining how no one defends when you do nothng but sit in base as a SBH or w/e and dont even bother to buy a repair gun - Shooting tanks with Sniper rifles (Dont lecture me about how u gain points, points are insignificant, it won't save your base) Edit..these are just IMO. To elabourate on the final point, I am aware of the effectiveness of snipers against things like recon bikes and Orcas/Apaches. These are quite effective countermeasures against quick manoeuvre/light armor vehicles. However they are completely USELESS against a flame rush. Somehow I don't think getting 50 points per shot is going to save your infantry bararcks.
I was playing on the map snow last week. I was on nod and I had a teammate who was buying tanks for everyone. Now if you know this map you will know immediately what happened next lol. No one asked for the tanks and GDI was taking them. He was upset and telling the team it was our fault for not taking the tanks he provided.
The only server I have to buy tanks for others is =UN= cause they have donate disabled >.< otherwise I just donate. Prevents exactly such situations from occuring. However the down side is, people can still buy whatever vehicle they chose. Often when theres a stank rush happening on City Flying, you will get a couple of idiots who will buy apaches. or worse, buggies >.<

Have seen that a few times. I was playing the other night and was running into the hand while a sniper was running out apparently to refill. Guess giving up his sniper rifle to save the hand wasn’t on his mind. Lost the hand before I could get there but hey we got a sniper left with full ammo and health left so good for our team.
# (whatever #, i lost track...). Being on a team full of uncoordinated idiots who think they can all take out the entire other team of 20 by themselves with an APC or Medium Tank, then proceeding to go in 1 at a time, get killed, come back, and swear at the other team. Now I'm not the BEST AOW player, but I have some coordination logic, and could organize a decent rush, too bad all the n00bs don't listen!!!!
People who only ever play on 40 player public servers and then go on about tactics like they know what they are.
I've done one man APC rush with hotwire/tech myself and killed a building, the secret is to go when they are in your base attacking and your team is defending, no one in nod/gdi base then

Running around shooting at a friendly Stank or SBH
Or buying a sniper character when they can't differentiate their ass from their elbow. lol!
Do't think before you buy something. A Apache is very usefull against a field with lets say 5-10 Havocs *g* Or buy a havoc when tere is a big big big medrush inc.
bump * i once saw a hotty, putting about 10 mines on each door on hourglass. throughout the whole game, this hotty was mining and remining all the doors in the base because he didn't realize that he was overmining and his mines were going.

There've been topics that have gone on years lol.
definately not this one... hey i got one, tank n00bs that block you by not ever looking where they're going, and your tank is on 10 health... HOW HARD IS IT TO ROTATE YOUR BLOODY TURRET!!! JUST HOLD V YOU IDIOTS! I did it once, as i was shooting a Ftank in our base and i tell you what, the guy was so pissed he got kicked for swearing excessively...
Heres something n00bish that effects the whole team: Buy a gdi apc and position it facing the gdi weapon factory garage, once the harvester is going out to get more tiberium, go full speed backwards into it's side/rear and it'll do a flip or spin depending where you hit it, then the harvy has to go around this and that just to straighten back up....thus causing a greater wait for it to return.
tunnel beacons. the first time i ever played renegade online i was on field and gdi was tunnel beaconing.... and too many people were worried bout the airfield to repair the tib ref (the air was under attack from a med) so we lost it tunnel beacons are the sign of a noob. yes i can tunnel beacon, no i wont because that is so noobish. end of line.
Can you QUIT bumping month old topics??? Even though I do agree tunnel beacons are n00b (say field ) but I despise beacon spammers more.

ON AOW Marathon server, after a 4 hour game was in progress making a 78 light tank rush on NOD and and then not destroying a single, i repeat a single building........ Due to idiots not RUSHING, just taking them and running off into the field. Oh and that game, they repped 9 of the lights we rushed with. we had no vecs from then on out.... Oh and while massing, nubs taking the vecs you havent repaired so you cant vkick them, or throwing timed on the mass. Or asking, what are all these tanks for...????? Oh wait and last but not least telling the other team your mass is inc............ ..great!
