Renegade - First Impression

Renegade puts you in the shoes of one of the most popular and recognizable figures from the Command & Conquer series, the Global Defense Initiative commando unit. The game offers a brand-new perspective on the C&C universe by immersing players within the game's 3D world. Never before has Command & Conquer been seen or played from this angle.

As Havoc, players will have to use their C4 charges and deadly sniper rifle to stop the NOD forces from completing their hideous Tiberium experiments. The game will also include an arsenal of other weapons such as a rocket launcher and a silenced pistol, as well as a bevy of both land and air vehicles. Renegade will be steeped with character development, as the cast includes Dr. Mobius, General Raveshaw, and Sakura.

The game's 3D engine is one of the most robust to date, and it sports dynamic lighting, lightmaps, dynamic shadows, and radiosity for more realistic outdoor environments. Indoor settings will be rendered with precise detail, and the transition between outdoor and indoor areas promises to be seamless.

Currently in development at Westwood, Renegade is scheduled for a late 2000 release.
