That's right, I've heard a rumor that EA is going to patch renegade one last time.
But this brings up some controversial issues, like what should be patched, and what should be left alone.
I was talking with a friend of mine earlier, and as it turns out we have some very different views and opinions about some glitches and not-so-glitches in rene.
So I thought I would ask the Forum Peeps what they thought...
Please, if you have time, try and comment on some of these tricks of rene, and whether or not you think they should be fixed:
1) Ob Walking - I think it should be left alone, it requires a degree of skill that not many people have, and nod can follow the harve with a SBH just as easily.
2) Base-to-Base at Field and Islands - I think this is a glitch that needs IMMEDIATE attention, it requires little to no skill to do this, it creates MVPs outta people who are not MVP material, and it costs the better team the game a lotta times.
3) Tunnel Beacons at Field - I personally think that if you weren't able to tunnel beacon, there would be really no reason to go in the tunnels at all... it's sort of like a reward for controlling the tunnels, its like controlling the field... and BOTH teams can do it
Thank you for your opinions, and I know that there are many more glitches, but I hit the high spots and the ones most people already know.

Well if they are patching it would be nice but I can't see how EA can do it. They would need some Westwood guys to fix the bugs. The inclusion of the unofficial scripts.dll version 1.2 would be great for us modders. Time will tell, sooner or later time will tell.

1. Nothing really can be done, to my understanding its a latency problem.
2. Could be fixed. C&C_Deth_Islands addresses the problem on Islands.
3. Been around since the beta, testors felt it was cheap but nothing could be done to remove it with out changing the map itself or makeing beacons have a damage zone of less than 10 meters across. The way the beacons are implimented is what causes the problem. They go through terrain and other objects.

EA can hardly be assed to support Generals anymore, so I extremely doubt they're interested in Renegade. I wouldn't be suprised if they've forgotten it exists.

Personally, I wasn't trying to start any rumors, and the information I heard came from a very reliable source.
And anyhow, it's not like a rumor about a patch will hury anyone.
Thank you for your feed back.

EA, patch Renegade? HA
Factors such as weather and human error have been causes of server problems before. Its unlikley that its being patched, renchat4 was probably packeted or somthing along those lines.
Should be back tommorow, I'm sure you people can manage not playing Renegade for a few hours.
ph34r!

Well, there are a lot of tiny glitches and bugs that have now become commonplace tactics among most players, like vehicles over walls and such. I question what the point would be of fixing them as most of them are known and tactics have been devised to defend against them... the only big issues I have are the aforementioned b2b and also camping on Hourglass and Mesa. These are fun maps that get ruined when people who can't be bothered to try just sit on the hills and hold down the left mouse button until they die, then get another vehicle and repeat ad infinitum. I'm sure I could think of some other issues if I tried. It'd be nice if they had some people working on netcode, but seeing how Generals runs I doubt they have anyone competent enough to do so...
Seeing some of the fanmade good maps, like Bunkers, included in a patch would be truly nice, and I might actually not discourage people at my store from buying EA products if they did something like that, but I'm not going to hold my breath for either.
