But the question here is the amount of larger servers running proper renguard. ohnouserv and egg's c&r server are just 8 players big. For c&r that's great but I get extremely bored in 8 player "aow"s. Renegade multiplay was designed for 7 players on each team at the least. To me an 8 player running a full all out war with basekill is about as fun as getting hit over the head with a hammer.

I notice a lot of you are saying "renguard a failure? no way!" but haven't really provided much if any evidence to that. I just checked the top 5 listings on renguard and, fair enough - there're a couple wol servers with decent amounts of players.

Top 5 Servers for GameSpy and Westwood Online
WOL
The Pits (renmaps.com) 20/40
[RG]www.WarriorNation.net [... 17/28
[RG]FANMAPS.NET FanMaps 11/32
[RG]FANMAPS.NET Mission Maps 11/20
[DS] Dark Angels - AOW 9/32
(Player counts shown are RenGuard-verified players. Actual counts may vary.)

But how many of those 5 are running full renguard (meaning, without renguard you can't join)? I know the pits doesn't, nor dark angels. I don't like fanmaps.net, much less mission maps. Warriornation wasn't even listed on wol and the rest of them are mediocre sized at best because there won't be any more than 9 players in them.

when was the last time you played in a large server running proper renguard? Ages ago, probably. most of us don't double click the renegade icon to wait for that "one in a blue moon" game, we just join any server with enough players in it. There have been a good few on a noobstories serv but renguard has been out since april and a few games in 4 months doesn't really cut it. and you could be waiting, what...10 minutes for someone to join you? the chance of a 2 player game going large is little to none. Sorry but most of the community doesn't have the patience or the will to bother doing that just so they can guarantee a 'cheat free' game, and I think it's something we'll have to live up to for good.
