 An outlaw hunting outlaws, a bounty hunter - Let's Play Command and Conquer: Renegade (PC) Welcome to the fifth installment of this Command and Conquer Anthology Let's Play. Everything you know about Command & Conquer is [nearly] useless here. Strategy? Out the window! Base building? Wanted dead or alive! We're taking this to the First-Person Perspective, as the Commando Nick "Havoc" Parker, although not voiced by Frank Klepacki. This is also the first game in the series that I never played before now. So join me as we continue the romp through Command and Conquer in one of the stranger off-shoots from the roots of the series.  How this will work Renegade is a far simpler experience compared to some past outings in the C&C universe and, as a result, entries will be shorter and more straight-to-the-point. What games should we see/expect?  1995 Command & Conquer 1996 Command & Conquer The Covert Operations 1996 Command & Conquer: Red Alert 1997 Command & Conquer: Red Alert Counterstrike 1997 Command & Conquer: Red Alert The Aftermath 1998 Command & Conquer: Red Alert Retaliation 1999 Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun 2000 Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun Firestorm 2000 Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 2001 Command & Conquer: Yuri's Revenge 2002 Command & Conquer: Renegade (Or Renegade X) 2003 Command & Conquer: Generals 2003 Command & Conquer: Generals Zero Hour 2007 Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars 2008 Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath 2008 Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 2009 Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 Uprising 2009 Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 - Commander's Challenge 2010 Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight --- I'm not against mods, but I have no clue which ones are good or bad, and will consider adding any to the list upon request --- I will preface by saying I am not the best strategy player ever (Company of Heroes proved that one!) but I shall attempt to play on the harder difficulties, when available or if possible.  And since this entire thing is being done chronologically, that means ABSOLUTELY NO SPOILERS AT ALL ABOUT ANYTHING! NO. SPOILERS. Not even tags. The Command and Conquer series has very little in terms of adaptations or spin-off content, having, I think, one "expanded universe" book sold in 2009, so let's just let things play out as the games intended them to. Thanks!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ErlZle6Gac [Not my video] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYIRoSblEVU [Not my video]  The year is 199X. The war against the Brotherhood of Nod is in full swing, the conflict now called The First Tiberium War, and the Global Defense Initiative is gaining ground against the Brotherhood and its leader, Kane. Despite the tide of war, it seems only to have emboldened Nod's attempts at merging Man and Tiberium, and the fanaticism on display has only intensified.  The Brotherhood of Nod  Known as The Brotherhood, The Ways of Nod, ShaΖSeer among the tribes of Godan [ref: INTERPOL FILE ARK936 - Aliases of the Brotherhood]. Founded: Date unknown: exaggerated reports place the Brotherhood's founding before 1,800 BC. Ideology: To unite third-world nations under a pseudo-religious political platform with imperialist tendencies.

Economic Strength: Considerable operating assets believed to be in excess of US$255.2 billion, based on audits of seized financial records (see CIA DOCKET 3231.54-776 FIA). Political Strength: Believed to be the sole backers of the Fist of Allah party in Jordan (52%); United We Stand America party in the United States (12%); Albion First! party in the United Kingdom (25+%), among others. (See Brookings Institution publication A42962-94 for full disclosure.) Affiliations: Irish Republican Party; Islamic Jihad; Khmer Rouge; others (See document: Brotherhood of Nod Splinter Groups.)

  GDI Officer Weapon: Automatic Pistol/Automatic Rifle Purpose: Calls in reinforcements GDI Officers are trained better than enlisted soldiers and have authority to radio Command for reinforcements.  GDI Soldier Weapon: Automatic Rifle Purpose: Cannon Fodder Considered standard assault infantry, GDI soldiers have basic combat training. Their lack of combat education is compensated with automatic weaponry.  GDI Rocket Officer Weapon: Rocket Launcher Purpose: Calls in reinforcements Rocket Soldier Officers have better combat training than their enlisted counterparts and have authority to radio Command for reinforcements.  Engineer Weapon: Repair Gun Purpose: Repairs buildings, vehicles, and emplacements Though excellent at battlefield maintenance, Engineers are not well-suited to combat. Protect your Engineers while they work to repair damaged buildings or emplacements.  GDI Rocket Soldier Weapon: Rocket Launcher Purpose: Anti-Vehicle/Building infantry Though their rate of fire is lackluster, Rocket Soldiers compensate with range and destructive power. They tend to panic when in close proximity to their targets.  Humvee Weapon: Automatic Machinegun Purpose: Anti-Infantry Vehicle Humm-Vees are excellent for fast transport across dangerous terrain. The mounted machine gun is effective against infantry targets, but the light armor is not good for tank engagements.  Medium Tank Weapon: 120mm Cannon[?] Purpose: Anti-Vehicle/Building Vehicle The Medium Tank comes equipped with a heavy-caliber barrel and moderate armor. It is less maneuverable than the Nod Light Tank, but has more firepower.  Transport Helicopter Weapon: N/A Purpose: Air Transport The best tool for extracting and delivering battlefield teams is the Transport Helicopter. Fast and maneuverable, it is the primary choice for air travel.  APC Weapon: Machine Gun Purpose: Ground Transport [NO DATA ENTRY]  ORCA VTOL Assault Craft Weapon: Air-to-Ground Rockets Purpose: Assault Aircraft The Orca vertical take-off and landing craft is one of the most maneuverable air vehicles on the battlefield. It is effective against other air vehicles, but can be used against ground targets.  Black Hand Weapon: Sniper Rifle Purpose: Anti-Infantry Infantry The Black Hand soldier is an elite Special Forces unit with significant weight and power. When dealing with these enemies, expect a higher caliber opponent.  Nod Soldier Weapon: Automatic Rifle Purpose: Cannon Fodder Considered standard assault infantry, Nod soldiers have basic combat training. Chemical weaponry takes down these enemies quickly.  Nod Rocket Soldier Weapon: Rocket Launcher Purpose: Anti-Vehicle/Building Infantry Though their rate of fire is lackluster, Rocket Soldiers compensate with range and destructive power. Sniper weaponry is recommended for eliminating these enemies quickly.  Flamethrower Weapon: Flamethrower Purpose: Anti-Infantry Infantry Flamethrower infantry are good close-range units and sport fire-retardant suits. However, they are useless at long distances, and their fuel tanks are susceptible to explosion from projectiles.  Nod Buggy Weapon: Machine Gun Purpose: Anti-Infantry Vehicle Fast and very maneuverable, the Buggy is a Nod recon unit. Outfitted with a machine gun mount, it is the bane of infantry, but must keep moving to avoid direct fire.  Light Tank Weapon: 100mm Cannon[?] Purpose: Anti-Vehicle/Building Vehicle A smaller and more maneuverable assault tank, the Light Tank is also cheaper to build. Unfortunately, this sacrifice results in a lack of firepower. Keep moving and use rockets to eliminate it.  Tiberium Harvester Weapon: N/A Purpose: Income Generation Though weaponless, Harvesters are heavily armored and capable of driving over infantry. Their primary role is to harvest Tiberium for Refinery processing.  Transport Helicopter Weapon: N/A Purpose: Air Transport The best tool for extracting and delivering battlefield teams is the Transport Helicopter. Fast and maneuverable, it is the primary choice for air travel. Eliminate it with rockets.  Prisoner Weapon: None Purpose: Bargaining Chip Nod has taken several prisoners of war. These men are GDI-trained soldiers in unfortunate situations.  Civilian Weapon: None Purpose: Livestock/Fodder Unenlisted civilians are often found in mission-critical areas. Protecting their lives is part of the job.  Farmer Weapon: None Purpose: Livestock/Fodder Civilian farmers tend the fields near their homes. Be careful, they tend to wander into the line of fire.  Cargo Truck Weapon: None Purpose: Unarmed Ground Transport This is a standard cargo truck.  Visceroid Weapon: Nightmare Fuel Purpose: Mutated Lifeform Visceroids are the result of irregular Tiberium mutation. They have immunity to Tiberium. It is best to stay at a distance, and eliminate it with long-range weaponry.  Apache Attack Helicopter Weapon: Autocannon and Rockets Purpose: Airborne Assault Craft Though Apaches don't sport the same warheads as Orcas do, they are just as fast and maneuverable in most cases. Fast weaponry is required to accurately target these enemies.  Clergy Weapon: God Purpose: Conditioning, torture, Sunday service. People of religious faith tend to conflict with the ideals of Nod. This makes them viable targets during wartime operations.  Technician Weapon: None Purpose: Operating Nod technology Civilians with technical skills are often hired, or conscripted, by Nod and GDI to maintain various buildings and operations. They have very little combat skill, if any at all.  Engineer Weapon: Repair Gun Purpose: Servicing Nod buildings and vehicles. Though excellent at battlefield maintenance, Engineers are not well-suited to combat. Take out Engineers first if building destruction is your goal.  Mammoth Tank Weapon: Twin 120mm Cannons and A2A/A2G missiles. Purpose: Battlefield Supremacy Vehicle The heaviest vehicle on the battlefield next to the Harvester, the Mammoth sports two heavy-caliber barrels. The lack of maneuverability is compensated by heavy armor.  Chemical Trooper Weapon: Chemical Sprayer Purpose: Anti-Infantry Trooper Like Flamethrower infantry, Chem Warriors are close-range units with hazmat suits protecting them from Tiberium exposure. Take them out from a distance to avoid contamination.  Chef Weapon: Flamethrower Purpose: Spicing things up Civilian Chefs are often hired out of the common workforce to serve in NOD facilities. For some reason, their initial loyalty is a bit stronger than the common civilian. Maybe its the curry.  Initiate Weapon: Tiberium-powered Fists Purpose: Close Quarters Combat Specialist These early mutations are unstable and have less processing power than their [REDACTED]. Tiberium immunity, a powerful build and high speed make them very good at close-quarter assaults, so eliminate them at range.  First Mate Weapon: Flamethrower Purpose: Second-in-Command of NOD Freighter [UNKNOWN DESIGNATION] Having little interest in combat, First Mate Gilligan has been working his career toward naval operations in an attempt to avoid ground conflict situations.  Captain Weapon: Pistol Purpose: Commander of the [UNKNOWN DESIGNATION], a NOD Freighter. Captain Stubing has been a strong supporter of the Brotherhood since being rescued from his crash on a desolate island, a stressful situation that was originally intended to be a simple three-hour tour.  Babushka Weapon: None Purpose: Resistance Leader Members of the resistance call her Babushka, Lola Merkova has been a town figurehead for many years.  Mendoza Weapon: Flamethrower Purpose: Assassin Carlos Mendoza joined NOD when his methods became too bloody for even the most extreme extremists. He is loyal to Raveshaw and the Brotherhood, provided money doesn't run out.  Flame Tank Weapon: Twin Flamethrowers Purpose: Anti-Personnel Vehicle Though inefficient as a long-range assault unit, the Flame Tank is devastating in close quarters and narrow alleyways. Destroy it with rockets at range.  Black Hand [Heavy Weapons] Weapon: Various Purpose: Heavy Weapons Specialist Black Hand Heavy Weapons Soldiers are Special Forces units. Their long range skills are deadly, so keep moving when dealing with these adversaries. High powered or automatic weaponry is recommended.  Stealth Tank Weapon: AG/AA Missiles Purpose: Anti-Vehicle/Anti-Aircraft Vehicle Lightly armored and fairly maneuverable, the Stealth Tank is invisible when not firing except for the tread marks and engine noise. Look for these signatures.  Surface-to-Surface Missile Launcher [SSM] Weapon: Long-Range Missiles Purpose: Long-Range Artillery The counterpart to the Mobile Artillery, the SSM Launcher is effective for removing vehicles but has a harder time dealing with infantry. Consider taking it out at close range.  Black Hand Stealth Soldier Weapon: Laser Rifle Purpose: Elite Soldier The Stealth capability of the Black Hand Stealth Soldiers enables them to appear when you least expect it, so keep your back to the wall and use your environment to illuminate their positions.  Acolyte Weapon: Tiberium Auto Rifle Purpose: Tiberium-Modified Soldier Being more advance than their initiate brethren, Acolytes have better combat skills and improved cognitive processing. Avoid using Tiberium weaponry on these targets.  Templar Weapon: Tiberium Auto Rifle Purpose: Tiberium-Modified Super Soldier Immune to Tiberium and capable of advanced target recognition and tactical thought processes, Templars are superior versions of project Re-Genesis experimentation.  Obelisk Purpose: Base Defense This building provides ground defense against enemy invaders. Destroy it to abate Nod base defenses.  SAM Site Purpose: Base Defense SAM Sites cannot hit ground targets, so use this advantage to remove them quickly. Removing SAM Sites improves air superiority for GDI. Use your C4 explosives to destroy it.  Turret Purpose: Base Defense The standard emplacement for base defense, Nod Turrets are formidable opponents for vehicles but can be easily eliminated by quick infantry with explosives.  Tiberium Refinery Purpose: Income Generation via Processing Tiberium This building processes Tiberium to provide base funding. If it is destroyed, funding is dramatically reduced. Also, watch for Tiberium Harvesters between this building and the Tiberium field.  Construction Yard Purpose: Base Construction This building allows all other buildings in the base area to be repaired. Without it, repairs are not possible as resources are unavailable.  Hand of Nod Purpose: Training Infantry This building provides reinforcements and more advanced infantry units. Destroy it to hamper Nod reinforcements and limit advanced unit production.  Communication Center Purpose: Jams enemy radar This building provides integral satellite communication for Nod forces. Destroy it to hamper Nod communications and prevent radar jamming.  Power Plant Purpose: Provides power to the base. This building provides power to all other base buildings. Destroy it to hamper productivity.  Ceiling Camera Weapon: None Purpose: Security Camera Ceiling Cameras are frequently hooked into internal security systems. Avoid prolonged exposure to prevent setting off alarms.  Ceiling Gun Weapon: Automated Machine Gun Purpose: Stationary Turret A difficult to spot and deadly target, the Ceiling Gun is a mounted menace. The target acquisition time for these weapons is slow, so try to eliminate them before they get adjusted.  Gun Emplacement Purpose: Base Defense The Gun Emplacement is a standard tool for manning a defensive position. Easily inserted via airdrop or transport, this weapon can be a daunting target if you are on foot.  Rocket Emplacement Purpose: Base Defense Specifically designed to eliminate heavy targets, the Rocket Emplacement is an excellent defensive weapon for bases and other facilities. If at all possible, approach them from the rear.  Airstrip Purpose: Production Facility This building allows Nod Cargo Transport Places to air-drop vehicles into the base. Destroy it to cripple Nod vehicle production.  Helicopter Pad Purpose: Production Facility This building allows Apaches to refuel. Destroy it to hamper Nod air strikes and Apache encounters.

This and AvP 2 was my first, real online gaming experience, that wasn't a browser game ( we didn't have an internet connection until like 2005). I still believe I could've done worse. So Renegade came out before Battlefield, and I think it blew its successor out of the water, especially in single player.

I'd argue Battlefield had absolutely better gunplay and vehicle controls, personally, though I'm sad that few games have experimented with the exact mixture of gameplay elements that Renegade's MP play had, since. Let us know if we're allowed to talk about the MP in detail, Jobbo, or if you're saving that for a specific video.

I was going to mention audio desync but it looks like there was enough getting broken already  I don't remember if there was any of that "can't believe they're turning a strategy game into an FPS" reaction you'd absolutely see today back then, or maybe I just wasn't old enough to care, but for the more than occasional jankiness of Renegade I've always enjoyed it even outside the multiplayer.

I'm not gonna argue for its quality, but Renegade was one of, if not the first FPS I owned (my mom didn't want us playing shooters...) so there's definitely nostalgia there.

I really wish they'd managed to achieve their initial vision of doing battlezone 98 command and conquer style. That said, what we got is still pretty darn fun. It'll be fun to see Jobbo's takes on it since he doesn't have my rose tinted glasses.

Also, I definitely find this all interesting because I had a different POV when Renegade happened. I never played past the first couple of missions, and I was pretty much just 'Why?'. I.e., why are you giving me a C&C FPS instead of a continuation of the franchise along with path it was on. I didn't play C&C wanting a shooter and I regretted having tried it. I will now accept the judgement of all those who enjoyed it.

I never played past the first couple of missions, and I was pretty much just 'Why?'. I.e., why are you giving me a C&C FPS instead of a continuation of the franchise along with path it was on. I didn't play C&C wanting a shooter and I regretted having tried it. I will now accept the judgement of all those who enjoyed it. Driving mammoth tanks is fun.

Man I played the hell out of Renegade's MP (and later the Red Alert mod A Path Beyond) a ton in middle school. Great memories

cuc posted:Game audio is a bit too quiet, especially the prerendered videos. Renegade's very finnicky on its audio, and I had to take it down a bit else it would just be overbearing. It seems that the cinematic audio isn't always the pre-rendered scenes either? Regardless, I'll do what I can to correct it for the actual missions. As for higher difficulties... well, you'll just have to wait and see.

Mission 00: The Scorpion Hunters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6kwbKam2kM Renegade 00: The Scorpion Hunters Troops from Eagle Base are enroute to the location of a suspected Nod outpost. It is suspected that the location contains valuable data that could lead to the defeat of Nod once and for all. Location: Mexico Objective: Find and locate the Nod Outpost Author's note: Quick and dirty mission, the one drawback is it is far too short and feels a little slapdash. Everything is introduced far too quickly. Name: Nick Parker Aliases: Havoc Affiliation: GDI Occupation: Commando Voiced/Played by: Wally Wingert Havoc is a Commando within the Global Defense Initiative's forces, ready and willing to take any fight to the Brotherhood of Nod. GDI Officer Weapon: Automatic Pistol/Automatic Rifle Purpose: Calls in reinforcements GDI Officers are trained better than enlisted soldiers and have authority to radio Command for reinforcements. GDI Soldier Weapon: Automatic Rifle Purpose: Cannon Fodder Considered standard assault infantry, GDI soldiers have basic combat training. Their lack of combat education is compensated with automatic weaponry. GDI Rocket Officer Weapon: Rocket Launcher Purpose: Calls in reinforcements Rocket Soldier Officers have better combat training than their enlisted counterparts and have authority to radio Command for reinforcements. Engineer Weapon: Repair Gun Purpose: Repairs buildings, vehicles, and emplacements Though excellent at battlefield maintenance, Engineers are not well-suited to combat. Protect your Engineers while they work to repair damaged buildings or emplacements. GDI Rocket Soldier Weapon: Rocket Launcher Purpose: Anti-Vehicle/Building infantry Though their rate of fire is lackluster, Rocket Soldiers compensate with range and destructive power. They tend to panic when in close proximity to their targets. Humvee Weapon: Automatic Machinegun Purpose: Anti-Infantry Vehicle Humm-Vees are excellent for fast transport across dangerous terrain. The mounted machine gun is effective against infantry targets, but the light armor is not good for tank engagements. Medium Tank Weapon: 120mm Cannon[?] Purpose: Anti-Vehicle/Building Vehicle The Medium Tank comes equipped with a heavy-caliber barrel and moderate armor. It is less maneuverable than the Nod Light Tank, but has more firepower. Transport Helicopter Weapon: N/A Purpose: Air Transport The best tool for extracting and delivering battlefield teams is the Transport Helicopter. Fast and maneuverable, it is the primary choice for air travel. APC Weapon: Machine Gun Purpose: Ground Transport [NO DATA ENTRY] ORCA VTOL Assault Craft Weapon: Air-to-Ground Rockets Purpose: Assault Aircraft The Orca vertical take-off and landing craft is one of the most maneuverable air vehicles on the battlefield. It is effective against other air vehicles, but can be used against ground targets. Black Hand Weapon: Sniper Rifle Purpose: Anti-Infantry Infantry The Black Hand soldier is an elite Special Forces unit with significant weight and power. When dealing with these enemies, expect a higher caliber opponent. Nod Soldier Weapon: Automatic Rifle Purpose: Cannon Fodder Considered standard assault infantry, Nod soldiers have basic combat training. Chemical weaponry takes down these enemies quickly. Nod Rocket Soldier Weapon: Rocket Launcher Purpose: Anti-Vehicle/Building Infantry Though their rate of fire is lackluster, Rocket Soldiers compensate with range and destructive power. Sniper weaponry is recommended for eliminating these enemies quickly. Flamethrower Weapon: Flamethrower Purpose: Anti-Infantry Infantry Flamethrower infantry are good close-range units and sport fire-retardant suits. However, they are useless at long distances, and their fuel tanks are susceptible to explosion from projectiles. Nod Buggy Weapon: Machine Gun Purpose: Anti-Infantry Vehicle Fast and very maneuverable, the Buggy is a Nod recon unit. Outfitted with a machine gun mount, it is the bane of infantry, but must keep moving to avoid direct fire. Light Tank Weapon: 100mm Cannon[?] Purpose: Anti-Vehicle/Building Vehicle A smaller and more maneuverable assault tank, the Light Tank is also cheaper to build. Unfortunately, this sacrifice results in a lack of firepower. Keep moving and use rockets to eliminate it. Tiberium Harvester Weapon: N/A Purpose: Income Generation Though weaponless, Harvesters are heavily armored and capable of driving over infantry. Their primary role is to harvest Tiberium for Refinery processing. Transport Helicopter Weapon: N/A Purpose: Air Transport The best tool for extracting and delivering battlefield teams is the Transport Helicopter. Fast and maneuverable, it is the primary choice for air travel. Eliminate it with rockets. Obelisk Purpose: Base Defense This building provides ground defense against enemy invaders. Destroy it to abate Nod base defenses. SAM Site Purpose: Base Defense SAM Sites cannot hit ground targets, so use this advantage to remove them quickly. Removing SAM Sites improves air superiority for GDI. Use your C4 explosives to destroy it. Turret Purpose: Base Defense The standard emplacement for base defense, Nod Turrets are formidable opponents for vehicles but can be easily eliminated by quick infantry with explosives. Aftermath: Nod resistance crushed, critical intelligence data captured. Jobbo_Fett fucked around with this message at 19:14 on May 1, 2021 |

Points of clarification: I am playing on Commando difficulty. I had initially played this on Commando, and had to scrap all my original footage because I wasn't using a fan patch and didn't have V-Sync on. This caused enormous stutter that could not be fixed. I am omitting the Location and Briefing entries for missions, as they all lack a specific location and briefing as seen in prior games. I will be adding a section for weapons as we get a few more in the next mission.

This mission is so short I forgot it was its own thing and not just part of the first level. It's basically a little mini tutorial that blitzes through the highlights of the formal one. The best guess I have for it is that it's all a byproduct of the shift from trying to do a fps/rts hybrid to just an fps.

Renegade is incredibly goofy, and for the most part it runs with its own silliness. That opening mission was shown at shows and in previews, and is probably a repurposed vertical slice. It does a solid job of showing off all the important units, getting the C&C feel, and making the player feel big and important.

I love how they use literally the same EVA voice clips as the strategy games. It contributes to the C&C feel.
