Maybe Havoc suffers from muscular dystrophy now? His face looks fucking weird. The whole 2-3 weapon limit bullshit ruined Duke Nukem Forever for me, I spent half the time--that I wasn't spending hiding behind cover like a fucking pussy--checking around for ammo and switching around guns.

hahaha EWD, I agree with you! That's why that was a trollpost with a lmfao in the end lols! I was mocking such "realistic" games.
It's so sad that most shooters are all "realistic" macho military sims and people play this crap.
I started playing back in 1994 and the first shooters I played in the right order was: Doom 2, Wolf 3D, and Blake Stone. Amazing standards!
And the reason why I like Renegade so much is because there is no crap weapon limit and it falls between a total TD conversion and a pure sci-fi game.
I don't know when games were supposed to be all macho realistic. I still load up Serious Sam: The First Encounter and play the first level...the bright sunshine, the green palm trees, the clouds, the temple area, the swimming pool, and most brilliantly of all the soothing music. easily the best scene of any game I ever played...such a beautiful vacation-type atmosphere.
The ReneX folks should get working on a proper C&C Mode to get a solid base of players going in a server that will never be empty. They can use this server to observe their work and make any changes. After that's out, they can work on other "realistic" modes which will feature bigger asymmetrical maps, tech buildings to capture, and realistic weapon-limits.

Find it kind of odd that some of the biggest voices in this thread have/are part of projects that are missing deadlines and releasing buggy completions of it as well.
Isn't it just 'common' to do just that (miss deadlines, buggy) when you are donating your time on something that makes you no money?

You're suggesting TT perhaps? While we haven't stated hard deadlines, we have missed targets, yes. However, we have been fixing shit ever since the first private beta and people should notice how things are working better and better. RenX started all over again (or so it seems) but some bugs still remain.
Another thing, compared to TT. We have decided that we wouldn't pay (much) intention to SP. Not much as we try not to break it, but we're not sure here. Why? Because we know that we need multiplayer to be even remotely successful. This shouldn't be any different for RenX, unless they try to appeal to an entirely different audience.

Kirby098 here.
I'm a little late to the debate but wanted to offer thoughts on the SP thing.
Disclaimer: I haven't actually played the new campaign but based off feedback I see in the community: I actually feel a little responsible for what is being said.
A couple years back they asked me to write a SP campaign based off my work with EA, Renevo and my scorpion's tale story hosted in this forum in addition to some other work on a different site.
Due to life's convolutions in a layoff and my great desire to feed my family through employment I had to leave the effort, and the SP campaign I started was abandoned in a mutual agreement that they weren't going to do SP for a while and my lack of time while pursuing work.
Writing is an art and passion similar to what talented digital artists and code monkeys do and are just as essential for quality games. I would expect about as good a product from an animator writing SP as I would from me trying to do quality rendering.
That being said, I appreciate what they are trying to do and in keeping my fav game alive even 10 years after Beta.
Peace, Unity, Brotherhood.

Things we did years ago do look a bit silly, I agree. You should go back and look at my old posts. They're near incomprehensible without taking context into account.
What do you mean by "FS debacle"? Also, next time you're in Orlando, yell at me. I'm always up for lunch. Speaking of game development, I do that on my own time. I work in simulation right now. Much more stable work, better pay, better hours, better benefits, etc... Generally, just better overall.
