I've been gaming since C-64 and Atari, and multiplayer gaming since Doom2. My roommate and I did reviews for a small website, that no longer exists, several years ago and EA sent us several copies of this. It sat on my shelf about a week because I was familiar with C&C... and I suck at RTS. The cool thing was this was an extra copy and neither of us had to do the review. We had a rainy day and I installed it for grins... didn't bother with single player, I just jumped into multiplayer. I ran my soldier out into the base during an assault, and I was taken. I've enjoyed all kinds of games since then, but Renegade was my game. For multiplayer, this is the game I base my judgements on. I have enjoyed others, this one remains the most fun. It is unrealistic, colorful, and the graphics almost seemed outdated when it was released. None of that mattered. It was just fun. I still play once in a while, and there's still a few servers left. I would say that the players I see online now are much better, technically, than when the game had 300 dedicated servers. It's fps, and if you take that approach, and have good twitch skills, you will do well. It's also rts, and if you can execute force moves, or covert moves, it pays off. It's truly a team effort, but often a lone-wolf player can sway the tide. True, cheats were common for a while, and Renguard came about to protect from that. In my opinion, Renegade, multiplayer, is the best game I have ever played. The 9 review includes singleplayer. It's a completely different game. If you have that decade disk, and have a couple hours to spend, install renegade, download renguard, and have a blast.
