Where are Mrcod? Javaxcx? DrasticDR? The rest of the legend snipers?
On it's day, this game was great... how does it stand up now compared to it's buzzing popularity of a few years ago?
Once I've got me new PC (soon I should hope) I think I may return.
Are the servers dead, or do alot of people still play?

If you call jumping around with a weapon that has no recoil, and does absurd damage, being a sniper: go play BF2 and find out what it takes to actually be a sniper in a video game.
In Renegade the only difference between you and every other character is that your weapon kills instantly and has a magnification ability, and that you flicker at warp speed due to a client-server bug when you magnify in your scope. So I don't honestly think anyone deserves the name "sniper" in this game, unless your definition of it includes jumping around without any concealment with a huge rifle you'd never be able to fire in that position.

Thaaaaaank you! I was hoping someone would eventually say this. It's actually kind of similar to Halo in that respect.
Then again, I haven't seen much difference in Day of Defeat or Counter-Strike, either. Somehow, some way, people are always able to run-and-gun with the AWP, or even some sub-machine guns, and still hit their mark. >_>

It's official. I am the worst pilot in the world. My jeep-driving skills are at least sub-par, though.
What am I talking about? Battlefield 2, of course. I got the demo just today. Man, it really is awesome... Even on the lowest graphical settings. I think I like the terrorist side more than the...uh... No, the bad guys more than the good guys.(Yeah, this way I don't seem like I'm completely stupid... >_> <_<;) But seriously, I cannot pilot a jet to save my life, much less a helicopter. But I'm a pretty decent gunner for one, at least! Heh, this game rocks so much...
...but I'll always come back to Renegade because of its delicious simplicity and, of course, the fact it's a Command & Conquer game. :3

. It's still a unique concept and by far the best gameplay for any FPS around in my opinion.

Sure, BF2 is good, and so is COD 2 but these are modern games that picked quite a few things from Renegade!
