General Havoc | Well it hasn't exactly happened yet as the HL2 engine is not availiable.

Yeah, and rumor has it that it's been pushed back even further to September '04, so...
I don't really see the idea behind making an expansion for game A with the engine of game B.

Source is many times more powerful and flexible than Renegade. It's supposed to run better on lower end computers as well. The Ren engine is terrible for single player - the AI is horrible, no physics, etc. In addition to this the mod wouldn't get the attention it deserves in Renegade.
I know there's no chance of it happening, but it would be nice to see a Renegade mod for HL2 and maybe even a Ren Alert conversion. Imagine being able to play with fully working planes, proper chronosphere, everything you needed. Hell, you could even implement a commander viewpoint.

I know the HL2 engine is much better than the Renegade engine and you don't have to explain why, I just think it's stupid to be making this mod with it.
If it was just a generic mod then it would make perfect sense, but since it was supposed to be an expansion pack for Renegade...
It'd be like if Yuri's Revenge was made with the Starcraft engine. They might as well just take what models they can and drop the Renegade theme altogether.
