This should be fun.

What would you change?

You needn't state the blindingly obvious, such as: making cheats unusable, fixing bluescreening, fixing ob walk.

I'll start.

- Pointsfix
- Vehicles follow the same vulnerability to your own C4 as infantry do. I.E. your own C4 will damage your tank, your teammates' C4 won't
- Relegate all of the following to non-laddered servers:
--- !donate
--- enforced teamchanging
--- altered gameplay (damage, cost etc)
--- starting credits other than zero
--- skins

- Rocket Soldier rockets given a limited tracking ability (doesn't apply to Gunner)
- Chinook slightly faster and can carry five passengers plus its pilot
- Nod Turret initial accuracy and rate of fire increased so that it actually poses a moderate threat to vehicles. Overall effectiveness roughly that of a med tank assuming it hits
- Ladder points for all players on the losing team standardised - meaning individual score only means anything if your team wins, and winratio becomes as important as volume of games

-Each character should have it's own unique first-person view hand/arm animation. (Sakura does not wear a big coat does she?).

-Rockets should cause a little more damage to air units.

I would probably gather a team of the finest coders Renegade has to offer, get the source code from EA and work with that team to make Renegade everything is was supposed to be and could be.

I'm the bawss.

That would be due to lag.. play on lower pinged servers


-Improve netcode
-Improve server side performance

-Decrease the Arty's Damage/change the way the projectile is fired I.e in an arc(one or the other not both!)
-Nullify Mammoth tusk missiles on buildings

-release new maps
-add More selectable skins to advance characters which are selectable like the 1000C units for all

-Fix Invisible c4

If it was more then a patch, I would combine a anti-cheat.exe with Game.exe. Simply(for those who might want to develop this) it detects user input, and compares it to game-play. This will stop cheating.

PunkBuster is already bypassed, why the hell would you want it in Renegade? It's completely useless and wouldn't stop any more cheaters than RenGuard does.

There's communities full of people dedicated to bypassing PunkBuster, so if you think it's secure you need to pull your head out of your ass and look around in any PB protected game and see all the cheaters getting away without punishment.

I'd fix a lot of things. Like the infantry's looped animation when jumping, some graphics, a lot of the bugs, and especially the physics.

Thats the problem, the Havoc does not only have more (unlimited) range and faster reload then the raveshaw/PIC, he even has more damage then the raveshaw/PIC. Havoc beats PIC in pretty everything except damaging heavy tanks, but he can still rip points off heavy tanks. No point buying Raveshaw at all, eh?

I'd like a bit more damage and points from using the Raveshaw/PIC, because I spend most of my time using those units. I'd at least like some reward for defending the base from tanks, while everyone else has fun with the Ramjet. The range is just fine for me though.

If possible, I'd also enjoy some new voice commands like 'Defend the Hand of NOD' , etc.

Punk Buster doesn't crash the game, Renguard does, this is why I request that you make a brbot that can disable renguard.

But to be honest, when Punk Buster is not being a fucking bitch, it has GREAT banning powers.

I do alot of tech support for America's Army, so I deal with Punk Buster problems all day, I can say, I really hate PB and their fucking gay updates. But, I do love Punk Buster when a cheater comes to the support channel and asks am hardware banned, help me.

Banning cheaters by hardware is awesome, PB offers that, but if I had a choice, maybe VAC?, never had problems with that really.

My own thoughts on a patch.

Auto-Map Downloader.
Auto-File Downlaoder which would allow scripts and files to be downloaded for server side servers.
More mod support.
Game Console interface.

I'd redo the entire thing. I already have a small patch right now (has some fixes, additions and such) that I use for myself.

But really, I think the whole engine needs to be redone to iron out all the bugs. They should use the CryENGINE Razz

Yeah, if it was me, I'd like the grenade explosion to be a bit larger in radius, and the damage to be greater to infantry, but maybe lesser to vehicles and/or buildings. Same with the flamethrower, but X2 on each end. It really sucks against what you'd think it's used for!

Trouble there is, the grenade launcher is GDI's free anti-vehicle infantry. Making it even weaker against vehicles leaves GDI with no infantry capable of seriously harming tanks (other than engineers with c4, but that's not a ranged weapon as such) when their infantry barracks is down.

Although, tbh, if they lost their barracks and have no vehicles to defend the base, they deserve to be crushed.... *shrug*

Well, think about it, how often does your vehicle get destroyed by a grenadier or a flamer? It honestly has never happened to me.

Don't forget about us 3D and 2D graphics artists. Not all issues with Renegade are code based.
