For one, it says that because the ladders are broken right now. The unofficial patch which will hopefully reach official status (AKA the "TT Patch") should fix this, though.
Anyways, some basic tips to help...
-Don't jump into your teamate's vehicles unless it's out in the field and the enemy might take it.
-Don't get a mammoth tank unless alot of your teamates need you to. Most of the time they're not much help, especially in servers that don't have the "pointsfix" (They give off more points than they should otherwise).
-When your team steals an enemy vehicle and places it in your base, do NOT take it and start running around with it. Chances are very likely they took it because this runs up the enemy vehicle limit, so your team gets the upper hand in vehicle count. Only use in absolute emergencies.
-Rocket Soldier Officer sucks. Don't use him.
-Buggy/Humvee suck. Don't use them unless there's a small need to (Don't think there really ever is).
-Transport helicopter COMPLETELY sucks. NEVER use it (Until it's fixed in the TT patch, anyways).
Just some basic tips.

I disagree with the Buggy/Humvee part, I've found quite a few uses for them, the rest is agreeable(except "teammate's" is spelled wrong  ).

Hummvees and buggys, with a bit of luck, can be used as a scape goat, as enemy tanks may see you racing towards them and shoot at you as opposed to something that is doing more damage.
Its weird but it can happen.

It's not out yet, sadly. You don't HAVE to wait on it, Renegade is still playable. Just avoid the things I said to avoid, and you should be good.
Also, another tip, your team almost always could use a technician/hotwire. Unless everyone already is, but yeah.

and what are good patches that i need for renegade that are compatible with the first decade
|
All you really need is core patch 2 and scripts 3.4.4 which are explain here (follow step 5 and up)
http://www.renegadeforums.com/index.php?t=msg&th=24533&start=0&rid=2 2699
tips:
1)As Said dont get out your vehicle, there are tons of good players that can kill you in seconds and steal your tank which will piss of your time inc nod has people that are invisible
2)Dont steal your own teams vech
3)as said agian dont use tanks that are stolen from other team
4)there are tons of pro players do dont be calling hes hacking or cheating untill you know the game
5)dont walk in tib
6)if you an sbh (nods invisible guys rushing with others dont give your self away by shooting) same goes for a nod stealth tank (whats point of rush if you guys are sneaking then one shoots giving everyone up
7)dont mine the base, other better players will do that dont go using mines outside your base as it demines your base and other team can repair them and get creds and points
 Every sever has different mods/commands dont think anything is wrong with the server
9)Lot of ass holes in ren so ignore people who think there hot shit and the assholes
1.0)dont try to join people or do team rushes and stuff unless you know what your doing since if you fuck up everyone will hate you
11)If your teams popping out to shoot tanks and going back in while getting repaired (such ass artys shooting at entrance of nod base on field) dont block them from getting back in or repaired
12)Do your own thing since well if you try to do stuff other players are doing does not mean hes doing them right and such try to see how EVERYONE does team work
13)If you see building getting attacked, and weak health repair it ASAP with engies or tech;s repair gun on the MCT (or can touch any where on building but MCT is way faster)
Note: that ren was rushed when it was finished and had tons of bugs we still fixing today and its not the perfect game, just like the rank and such most stuff dont work anymore and rather they are working on them or cant touch it so its there but dont let it get to you play and enjoy)

Thats not all the way true but sometimes dont have to listen to all he says,just depends most of the time med wins all but sometimes they do mammy rushes or useing them to guard base, you can get one if your team dont bitch at you
| Cabal8616 wrote on Wed, 28 January 2009 11:01 |
-Rocket Soldier Officer sucks. Don't use him.
|
Also not true, every char is good in its own way just what ever you want to use personal I think havocs and sak suck ass

-Buggy/Humvee suck. Don't use them unless there's a small need to (Don't think there really ever is).
|
Also not true, most of the time they are but there good if you know how to use them, like rushing nod or gdi on citys

Another quick list of things other folks forgot...
- If you don't have enough money for what you want to buy, do not just stand at the terminal and wait for the cash. Pick a free infantry class and go be helpful.
- Try to save up money so that you can afford to replace whatever class/vehicle you're using at least once. Death can come unexpectedly, especially as infantry. If you stick primarily with midrange ($400-$600) infantry, $500 is a good reserve.
- If you have obscene amounts of money, donate it to the players who need it most. If you see someone join the game and you have upwards of $2k, give them $500 to get them started. Donations can be made by typing "!donate name amount" without the quotes into team chat.
- While we're on donations, if your team is planning an early rush, chip in even if you're not going along. $50-100 won't set you back too far, but if several players donate it makes a big difference and can give your team an early advantage.
- When in a vehicle, pay attention to where your teammates are. If you shove your infantry into the Tiberium field or out from behind their cover, they will not be happy with you.
- Discretion is always the better part of valor. Even if you're close to making a kill, your efforts will be wasted if you die attempting to finish it. This is especially true when driving a vehicle; the enemy gets a lot of points for killing your ride. A good rule of thumb is to pull back and repair or heal when you're around half health; that ensures that you can take a few more hits and still get home alive.
- Never plant a beacon unless you can cover it until it goes off. Beacons are worth several hundred points to disarm, which is often enough to put the other team in the lead. The same holds true of C4, to an extent, although timed C4 is much less noticeable than an armed beacon.
- For that matter, don't buy beacons at all unless you think you have a good shot at using them successfully. If you buy one on the off-chance that you might make it to the enemy base and use it, then die, you've just wasted $1k for absolutely nothing.
- If you want to drive a vehicle, choose either the free or advanced engineer class. That way, you can repair your own vehicle (though you should never do it in the field or any undefended area), and as an added bonus you can stick around and repair your teammates' vehicles if yours is destroyed. There are situational exceptions to this, but you'll pick up on those with more experience.

Also, here's some of the abbreviations, so if you see them typed, you know what it means. I'm not going to list each one for simplicity. For example, you may see Weapons Factory abbreviated as "weaps" every so often, but most people just use "WF", so I won't list every possible one, but just what you'd need to know. If it has more more than one abbreviation, the first is always the most common.
Buildings:
"WF" = Weapons Factory
"Bar" or "Inf" or "Rax" = Infantry Barracks
"Ref" or "Tib" = Tiberium Refinery
"PP" = Power Plant
"AGT" = Advanced Guard Tower
"Air" or "Strip" or "AS" = Airstrip
"HON" or "Hand" = Hand of Nod
"Ob" = Obelisk
Vehicles:
"Mammy" = Mammoth Tank
"Med" = Medium Tank
"MRLS" or "MRL" = Mobile Rocket Launcher System
"Stank" = Stealth Tank
"Flamer" or "Flame(s) =Flame Tank
"Light" or "Ltank" = Light Tank
"Arty" or "Art" = Artillery
"Harv" = Tiberium Harvester
Characters:
"Hotty" = Hotwire (can also mean Technicians, the Nod equivalent)
"Tech" = Technician (can also mean Hotwire, the GDI equivalent)
"Mob" = Mobius
"PIC" = Personal Ion Cannon (that is, the better of the Sydneys with said gun)
"Sak" = Sakura
"Rav" = Raveshaw
"SBH" = Stealh Black Hand
"Chem" = Chem Trooper
"Engi" = Engineer
Terms: (I'm mainly only going to include game specific ones, not everything single term you can see in online gaming)
"Inc" = Incoming
"Rep" = Repair
"Def" = Defend
"Tunns" = Tunnels
"Noobjet" = Ramjet Rifle
"TH" = Team Hamper(ing)
"GTA" = Grand theft auto (which means not the games, but that a vehicle was taken by someone who it doesn't belong to)
"Rush" = Enemies, usually a number of them, attempting to either push forward, or move into the enemy base
"Inf" = Infantry
"Tib" = Tiberium (Field or Refinery)
So, judging by the list above, we'd see that if someone said "engis inc ref tunns" on the map C&C_Volcano, it directly translates to "Engineers incoming (via) Refinery tunnels", which means a group of engineers were on their way through the tunnel that exits near the Refinery and Power Plant, and then obviously would go to either of those buildings, so unless you were on the other side of the map, go defend said location if possible. If this were the case, you'd likely also or instead hear "Defend the Power Plant" or "Defend the Refinery" via radio command.
If I left any out, and I know I did, and anyone wants to add on, go for it.

For example, you may see Weapons Factory abbreviated as "weaps" every so often, but most people just use "WF", so I won't list every possible one, but just what you'd need to know. If it has more more than one abbreviation, the first is always the most common.
Buildings:
"WF" = Weapons Factory
"Bar" or "Inf" or "Rax" = Infantry Barracks
"Ref" or "Tib" = Tiberium Refinery
"PP" = Power Plant
"AGT" = Advanced Guard Tower
"Air" or "Strip" or "AS" = Airstrip
"HON" or "Hand" = Hand of Nod
"Ob" = Obelisk
Vehicles:
"Mammy" = Mammoth Tank
"Med" = Medium Tank
"MRLS" or "MRL" = Mobile Rocket Launcher System
"Stank" = Stealth Tank
"Flamer" or "Flame(s) =Flame Tank
"Light" or "Ltank" = Light Tank
"Arty" or "Art" = Artillery
"Harv" = Tiberium Harvester
Characters:
"Hotty" = Hotwire (can also mean Technicians, the Nod equivalent)
"Tech" = Technician (can also mean Hotwire, the GDI equivalent)
"Mob" = Mobius
"PIC" = Personal Ion Cannon (that is, the better of the Sydneys with said gun)
"Sak" = Sakura
"Rav" = Raveshaw
"SBH" = Stealh Black Hand
"Chem" = Chem Trooper
"Engi" = Engineer
Terms: (I'm mainly only going to include game specific ones, not everything single term you can see in online gaming)
"Inc" = Incoming
"Rep" = Repair
"Def" = Defend
"Tunns" = Tunnels
"Noobjet" = Ramjet Rifle
"TH" = Team Hamper(ing)
"GTA" = Grand theft auto (which means not the games, but that a vehicle was taken by someone who it doesn't belong to)
"Rush" = Enemies, usually a number of them, attempting to either push forward, or move into the enemy base
"Inf" = Infantry
"Tib" = Tiberium (Field or Refinery)
So, judging by the list above, we'd see that if someone said "engis inc ref tunns" on the map C&C_Volcano, it directly translates to "Engineers incoming (via) Refinery tunnels", which means a group of engineers were on their way through the tunnel that exits near the Refinery and Power Plant, and then obviously would go to either of those buildings, so unless you were on the other side of the map, go defend said location if possible. If this were the case, you'd likely also or instead hear "Defend the Power Plant" or "Defend the Refinery" via radio command.
If I left any out, and I know I did, and anyone wants to add on, go for it.

This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I master my life. My rifle, without me, is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than any enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will... My rifle and myself know that what counts in this war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit... My rifle is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weakness, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will keep my rifle clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will.... Before Kane I swear this creed. My rifle and myself are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life. So be it, until victory is Nob's and there is no GDI, but Peace
STUDY THIS, AND YOU MY FRIEND WILL BECOME A REN ELITE.
