Hope they finally release the Mac Version or UT3 this year...can't be bothered to install Windows just to play a mod with slim chances of success.
1. Will a significant number of C&C fans and other random people who don't play Ren of UT3 play it? Doubtful as it's a mod for a game they most likely won't own.
2. Will a significant number of UT3 players check it out? Doubtful, as UT3's community is hardly larger than Renegade's and most of them will view it as a slow, boring take on Warfare mode.
3. Will the Ren community switch to Ren X? It would depend on how good it is, because most Ren players are a)stubborn b)poor c)uninformed/retarded. A few old school players will probably try it out.

You're conjecture is inaccurate. You see, you're segregating each community unto it's own. You need to combine the members from both communities and that makes a good number of people. Then there are the people who aren't members of either community but like the mod. Check the ModDB page, there is an army of people on that site alone that would kill to play the mod.

It's well worth the time as well. I've played it and even in it's current form it's extremely fun to play. It's familiar yet new.

As for your 3rd point: No one will "switch" to anything. You can own multiple games at a time. Just because people play Renegade doesn't mean they can't also play Renegade X.



I'm don't want to further derail this thread into something negative as I'm looking forward to the mod and hoping for a success story as much as you are. If you want a point-for-point rebuttal, you can write me a PM. All I'm trying to get across is that this is an early beta for a mod aimed at a niche market - people should take it for what it is instead of posting stuff about how this will lead EA to develop Renegade 2 and other lunacy...ridiculous expectations will undoubtedly lead to disappointment.
