I had an crazy thought. What exactly is it that makes Renegade so fun and addictive, despite the flaws, outdated graphics, and cheaters?
Is it the fast gameplay because the bases are prebuilt for you?
Is it the abundance of different weapons and vehicles?
Being forced to actually play to be able to buy better weapons and vehicles?
No spawning vehicles all over where bad players can steal them. (BattleField).
Not having to rely on a commander to build your base and research weapons (Savage).
Anything else that people think makes the Renegade gameplay what it is and how fun it is?

For me, I think it's the complicated simplicity. (yes, I know that's an oxymoron)
To learn the game is simple. Here's your base, here's what each building does, here are 14 characters you can use, here's what they're good at and bad at. Oh, and here's 5 or 6 tanks you can use as well. The premise is pretty simple.
But then, it's complicated as well. You don't have to be in a tank all game. You don't have to snipe all game. If you're new, you can sit back and help keep things repaired.
And I think the best part is that when the map starts, everyone is on equal footing. It's not like an RPG where you are way behind when you start and there are other players running around dozens of levels above you. You can jump in, play for a half hour, then leave. No commitment.
I actually think Savage is a pretty awesome game for the premise. I still play it once in a while, especially now that it's totally free.
I'm the bawss.

The fact that one individual can win the game or at the very least turn the tide of battle in a seconds' well placed C-4.
That really suits me as a lone wolf player. All the elite orca pilots and tank driver in the world can't stop one engineer with a pocket full of c4 and a beacon inside your base.

What are you talking about? I am an elite Orca pilot...if I see enemy infantry, they die the death.
Let's talk about you actually getting into one of my team's buildings...ROFL!

OK...back on topic:
What makes Renegade fun? Well, there are SO MANY options in-game and you can do what you like best. I am a helicopter fanatic ever since 5 years old...loved the things. So, when I saw Orcas/Apaches in the game, I instantly jumped in them and developed my skills.

If you blow stuff up, you have fun.
If you get run over, you want to do it again.
If you get addicted to "boink" .wav files you convert them into mp3s and flog them off on eBay.
If you hate someone you can call them a n00b.
If you want to move north for the summer/winter you can as long as there is no wall or invisible mesh in your way.
If you fell hellish you can ram some vehicles at high speeds until you go into blue hell.
If you like chips you can quit the game and get some.
Did i mention renegade was fun?

|
And thats because it was made by Westwood, not EA.
*Glances at the posters name* holy crap, that was trooprm02, and I agreed with him? Weird.

The fact that I can kill HORQUEER in it. Multiple times. And ban him from EKTRPG.
[on topic]
Yeah, I like how you actually have more unique teams than teams with basically the same stuff, just different looking. That always bugs me with other FPS's. Not that I've played that many others, but still.
And, the fact that if you get enough players, it really becomes a very nice and interesting, not to mention extremely fast paced, battle. And takes some thinking to actually win instead of "LOLZLETSKILLTEHENEMYWITMAIGUNZ".
It just needs an updated engine. Which is why EA BETTER not screw up Renegade 2, else I'll have to get a shotgun and a ticket to LA.
