While it was certainly a flawed game, RenegadeвЂ™s combination of FPS and nostalgia won enough hearts to earn its status as a beloved title for many C&C fans. Its multiplayer also proved popular-enough so for fans to create Renegade X, a modern remake of the gameвЂ™s online play for a whole new generation. Renegade did accomplish that, taking players through a hearty campaign of first-person destruction against an entire army of Nod soldiers, bases, and vehicles. Though it did feature extensive vehicle combat alongside its infantry gameplay, even Battlezone II and Codename Eagle each preceded Renegade by multiple years and did its combined arms better, and with Battlefield 1942 only a few months from release, there was no shortage of games for Renegade to be unfavorably compared against.Д«ut just like the trailer emphasizes, it wasnвЂ™t about being a great FPS, it was about being a soldier in Command and Conquer. As WestwoodвЂ™s first foray into an FPS, RenegadeвЂ™s gameplay wasnвЂ™t great, particularly when you remember players had spent years with Half-Life, Quake, Counter-Strike and Unreal Tournament by the time it released. Then again, because they are remastering both games, the constancy of said content will be the same. While I will say a SS remake using Red Alert assets would be very interesting to see, I dont know if mixing the content of two games into one application would be appropriate.

If you do watch it, youвЂ™ll probably notice how hilariously dated Renegade looks. Sole Survivor used only the assets found in Tiberium Dawn (I believe even the giant ants were in SS, too.). The attack dog doesnвЂ™t have a sonic stun-bark because it needs it for its early anti-infantry defense role it has one because RA3вЂ™s unit design is вЂњthe more abilities we can chuck on these units, the better.вЂќ Unfortunately, quantity does not equal quality, and the result is three armies of units all crippled with bloat, an excessive number of buttons to press that are unnecessary at best, overwhelming at worst.

Where RA2вЂ™s units had their quirks built into their standard functions like moving or attacking, RA3 simply takes a bucket full of different powers you could find in any MOBA and throws them at you. Even the damn attack dog has a вЂњSonic Bark.вЂќ ItвЂ™s a hamfisted attempt to build upon RA2вЂ™s interesting and unique units.

RA2вЂ™s gameplay features were taken to their extreme, most notably the way that every damn unit in RA3 has an activated ability. The result is three armies of units all crippled with bloat.

And the problem with that is it highlights just how much better Westwood was at designing an RTS.

Bringing back iconic units in itself isnвЂ™t the issue-itвЂ™s that trying to imitate RA2 is all the game knows how to do.
