severely underrated video. I loved it!
You should do a renegade video
Acting Male?! What are you doing here - would love to see you cover this gem!
spread the glory of this game.
White references civvie and somehow the act man makes an appearance!!!! Dude the act man please god make a video on this game and make a point that this game is like Duke nukem forever that never was
Going to be honest. Did not expect to see you in a C&C game in the comments. Do you play all FPS games? xD
I loved renegade but always thought it didnt stay true to the original since when you hit their harvester with a single bullet you're not immediately accosted by every nod unit in existence.
Oh ye gods I'm getting flashbacks of sensitive moments in missions when an enemy harvester would meander onto my turf without me realising, a unit or turret hits it. All hell breaks loose. But then again it could be cheesed to distract enemies while you throw your ball of units at their MCU.
Ok that's fair but let's be realistic it's mostly scripted
I don't know how this got in my recommendations, but this is absolute gold
Same.
Same.
Wh Farket do somthing about this
Couldnt Agree more! :D
Was thinking the same thing until a certain silhouette was shown in the beginning, then all made sense.
Ghost of the Orca.. A moment of silence for the brave Orca pilot that was so determined to do their mission, even being shot down mid flight did not stop them from taking that Obelisk out.
@@Nuuk_Nuke_Nook Aye. Brave and very determined! Never even questioning for a moment why the heck that commander dude keeps sending them into these crazy dangerous missions. They got some real go-get-em attitude.
I thought it flew into the back of the tank and asploded, still though….rip
@@videocrowsnest5251 Big kamikaze energy
"I'm ready!! How 'bout YOU?!?!" - The ORCA pilot
So glad someone tackled Renegade in this style. Great video and hope you make more
So any update on the next neigbourhood vid?
Oh hey didnt expect you here when's team neighbour 5
HWAT THE FUCK why is there so many celebrities here!!! First act man now the great dictator!!! Also when's the next episode coming out!!!! I wanna see more neighborhood shenanigans
"Conflict of interest? No, but I've interest in conflict!" Love that line! :D
Gonna start using that line.
Same
C&C is a high quality IP that if handled correctly is beautiful.
EA: We don’t do that here
Best thing is EA is doing is remastering it now, at least, they stopped pursuing more mobile idle games that barely had any strategy nor fun. I hope they continue remastering it, as most of the original Westwood production is working with it.
And also allowed petroglyph to make things done right
@WingMaster562, unfortunately, another mobile game came out
I remember Visceroids scared the shit out of me as a kid
yes the stupid fast disfigured blobs of mass sprinkled with damage immunity were nightmare fuel for me too. though the scariest gaming encounter of my life has to be the first time you get to fight a Skaarj in Unreal.
Still scary 😂
Yeah they made me afraid for some reason.. still do to a degree.
Playing this game when I was literally 7 probably didnt help, but I had played Doom (badly) and HL1 (betterer) so I didn't think it would fuck with me..
Considering they used to be either humans or animals but mutated into blobs due to tiberium, you're right to be afraid. Especially if you use tiberium based weapons on them, like I did, being a dumbass.
"Oops killed the chef... well that's what he gets for standing in the way of my FREEDOM GAS"
*Generals usa theme starts playing*
Nods were stopped
Dongs were shot
But maybe the real Command and Conquer: Renegade was the friends we made along the way
Great video, dawg. Liked and Reported
Make more videos you eggplant.
Holy fucking shit you're alive!

WHEN THE HELL ARE YOU GONNA REVIEW DAWN OF WAR 2
Dawn of war 2!!
Underrated 3D shooter/RTS hybrid game
Install and play.
It's a masterpiece
Hey now, the Dead Six totally remain relevant after evacuating the city!
They're pretty damn useful as playable characters in online battles.
This game looks like the US military fighting the Tekken Force.
There is still a community online playing this game and i stream it all the time
Oh really? How? Some sort of wrapper or WWonline emulation?
I'd figured most the player base would've transferred over to RenX considering its newer engine and continued development.
@@DrWhite yes there a few communitys left i got a video to help set up for multiplayer and there are other guides like cncnz and cncnet.org
@@DrWhite the renx and oldren communtiy are about same size with pugs on weekends for games
@@DrWhite Yeah we're still keeping the dream alive between a few explicitly Renegade focused communities and w3dhub (which also has a Red Alert total conversion for the multiplayer currently playable.)
@@DrWhite Yeah, we still have many players online in Renegade with a community ran GSA, and WOL (known as XWIS now).
You should install some patches in order to play in community servers. We'd like to see you there ;)
For those who don't know: there is a high density of Renegade in-jokes throughout this video. Awesome review dude!
Now I just gotta go reinstall it
Literally doing that when I get off work tonight lol
23:19: that flame tank must've sent itself to the shadow realm, er, Blue Hell. Nothing but skybox forever.
For those who haven't played it, crashing one vehicle into another can sometimes blip one or both vehicles off the map.
Nice little nod to Civvie early on in the video, really enjoyed watching it, wish you had more of this stuff made so I could binge watch it :)
Thanks man!
Civvie, Sseth and Mandalore are huge inspirations of mine.
Also I'm aiming to make more once uni work dies down a bit.
@@DrWhite They are inspirations to us all.
Shame he never covered it
@@od4361 Hey, he covered Wolf3D and ROTT...and ALL of the DOOM Games...so...he just may cover it.
I've actually been bugging civvie to make content on this game just to see what he thinks
Multiplayer is where this game excels. I played in clans and absolutely loved it online. Back on it again now with the original and Renegade X. A real gem of teamwork.
Can you play the solo missions as a coplay thing?
@@GoldKingsMan There are multiplayer maps that do solo-esque co-op missions.
Well, there were, about 10-15 years ago. I dunno if anyone plays those maps anymore.
And we have Renegade X Firestorm coming out soon!
@@GoldKingsMan There were servers back in the day that would play through modded single player missions that were hacked to work in multiplayer.
BA 4 Life
I used to compete with venom knights clan back in the day!
There's also a fairly straightforward way of still playing this one online if you google it. It still gets its 20-30 people average on weekdays, and between vanilla Renegade and the IA mod get up to 50-80 players on weekends.
Ren-X is consistently more people on weekdays during Euro primetime, though during NA hours it tends to die too.
Its even more popular now, gets up to two full 64 servers on weekday.
Its golden days were soo much fun. Honestly one of the only FPS's i was able to get into. Its fun and flaws in entirety
thank you
I know this video is by now over 2 years old, but damn.. I miss the days of playing Renegade, was introduced to it by my dad, he gave my brother and I the CD, and was obsessed with the multiplayer for like 5 or so years, it was crazy, especially the sniper servers, learning to aim with the "V" button was a difficult task, but makes all the sniper kills worth it.
I love renegade. It gets a bit buggy at times but its alot of fun.
Great retrospective - this was a cult classic for me when I played it in 2006. It felt like a much longer game back then, especially as FPS single-player campaigns started to wane in quality and length in the ensuing years. The multiplayer was ahead of its time in many ways.
This was an inferior fps compared to what was already on the market
Renegade had one of the most underrated multiplayer modes in of any FPS.
This.
21:04 god I remember that child crying when I was kid, always scared me.
Made me determined to save the city. This game is smarter than it looks at a first glance.
Yeah, it was pretty horrifying. I kept trying to find the source but couldn’t
I absolutely loved the ninth mission as a kid, despite losing all your weapons in the beginning. The prison camp is interesting to explore, the valley has an ancient Nod Temple (which you didn't mention), the research center has interesting vistas and the mission ends with a super cool boss fight. Aaaand it's followed by the worst mission: Protecting monkey brain Mobius.
@29:13 ... Red Alert 2 references! The pictures on the walls are Soviet Apocalypse tanks and the soundbyte is one of the things you hear when you're running the RA2 installer... Nostalgia...
The retread of the city map would be more acceptable in a longer game because it's a decent level. It's problem is that, for the most part, every renegade map has at least one unique thing to it to make it stand out, even the retread of the lab map has the mutant outbreak, but it has nothing. The retread of the city just has the exact same encounter design as the city with only a very short mansion level in-between them. If there was at least another level between them, it wouldn't feel so boring.
You said it tho - It would've really benefited from something unique. The worst part is that all the unique and interesting encounters are on the first trip through, so the second time they have to depend on putting snipers on all the rooftops just to make things difficult because there are no remaining 'twists'.
No cool set pieces, just a sea of snipers. Hell, a short rooftop segment or something would've made it infinitely better.
At least that mission has a soundtrack that rocks to make it worth playing.
@@DrWhite Who on minutes 5:45 ?
@@iwanpermana505 Sister of Battle waifu I think.
@@homerk11 ok, thanks you ?
"The Plot Erupts" and "Stowaway" are easily my favorite missions.
I remember this game! WHY do I remember this game?
Because this game is sick af bruh
Nah go download Renegade x it has more better Graphics and you can now ride orca and bots will ride vehicles now and you can choose maps too
And multiplayer will work
@@therandom5663 Imagine actually owning a decent computer that can run Renegade X.
How pathetic.
My 2008 Pegasus laptop that my father got as a gift from Turkey can only run early 2000's era games. Now that's badass.
Love ya work, Yeti
Multiplayer on this was great. Big, long multi hour stalemates. Teamwork was the only way to win. It wasn't perfectly balanced (nod tend to have the upper hand more often than gdi do), but it was balanced enough that no matter which side, an organised team could steamroll a non organised one.
What clan did you play with? haven't touched this game in years.
@@Martin-rb4np I never played it in a clan. I forgot which server I used to play on, it's probably been gone for about 10 years now.
@@thegearknob7161
it works well when i use the W3D hub launcher. game is still active.
"I've been playing this game for 10 years"
*turret stuck in peripheral vision mode*
I'm just glad that Renegade X defaults to camera following turret mode.
"It's going to be another video."
9 months later..
I did a short sorta video on renegade X! It's a highlights clip since I didnt feel like I could make a full review of that.
@@DrWhite :( :(
14:45 Not gonna lie, you got me good there.
25:40 this moment brought back the memory of me constantly using the flamethrower on the walls in the multiplayer map. i was simply amazed by the trail it was leaving. also tried drawing stuff. this was top notch levels of graphics for me as a kid (around 9 yo). i was completely in love with Sakura, though i don't remember her name at all, it's like i'm hearing it for the first time. her switching sides but still remaining kinda distant / neutral / mysterious was incredible. interesting fact, i knew very little english back then and until now i didn't know she's asian. I hated Sydney and likely failed the missions a regularly due to killing her on purpose. ironically, i remember her name and that she's the daughter of the white haired Dr. Mobius. another thing i considered amazing was that the characters had multiple outfits, you could choose between all of them in the multiplayer map, which i played alone or with AI. it took maybe 3 years from that time until we had internet at home.
It all looks so silly and cheesy now, but damn the memories are so good.
LOL: Nice Michael Jackson move at 30:00 ,love bugs in old games
9:15 had me giggling
" It was as If Lex Luther and Ming the Merciless had done exterior design for the Illuminati" .... Phew I wish, it would have been much cooler.
ION Cannon? Seems like someone doesnt have proper orbital bombardment capabilities
I mean considering that they can't even kill the Messiah
For those of us that played and loved the old LTroush and AUGELITE ctf servers..... you're welcome because being an owner/admin contained emense headache lol but I would do it all again. Bond, cant remember your full handle but you were a god. Handled everything technical so we didnt have to
I LOVED playing this as a kid. But in my memories the graphics were a lot better!
8:55 I just realized that the generals main theme plays there. Nice
I want to say this about Renegade because.. well.. I worked on it. My name is Thomas Riccardi and I have had a lot of jobs in my life and one of them was working for Westwood Studios as a beta tester. You figure it would be your ultimate dream job and trust me.. its not. The first title I worked on was Emperor Battle For Dune but came in so late in the cycle that my name wasn't on the credits. Next game as Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge which was a great game and then came Renegade. Hoo Boy. This game was just a complete disappointment from square one because the company in their infinite wisdom decides "Hey! Lets make our own graphics engine!" Which..was.. stupid! There were a few graphic engines that we could of used like the unreal engine but.. noooooooo they went with their own design. So we had to play this game day in and day out looking for bugs, map holes, etc.. and believe me.. that wasn't fun. I remember getting stuck on the third mission (the one with the snow) for weeks because they wanted to make sure it was a solid level (hint: it wasn't.) But yeah, to me the game is a pile of crap and will always continue to be but if people like it.. eh.. knock yourselves out.
Genuinely fascinating to hear your perspective! I can understand if QA-ing the game gives it a bitter taste - I know how rough testing levels made on already stable engines can be, so It've been hellish to test both the level design and the engine design. QA is always hell, so I take my hat off for you.
To be fair they used some innovative things for the time, like the automatic generation of the AI pathfinding area. Greg Hjelstrom (the lead programmer) gave a presentation about it. It was very helpful for the reverse engineering of the code of the editor. Though I must say that the quality of the singleplayer scripts differs a lot from the quality of the actual engine. @DrWhite you might also want to take a look at w3dhub.com where they make new free to play stand-alone mods based on Renegade. Set in the RA1, RA2, Dune etc universes.
@raveshawf wait this game has pathfinding? The AI could have fooled me
God it's so nice knowing that people who play/played this game exist. Very good video!
Great work man, awesome video. The entire C&C franchise was my childhood so this is amazing to me. The comedy is also golden
1:21 Minus points for using OpenRA though. The Commando sections are supposed to be a third person shooter even in the RTS, and because of that, the Commando does not auto-target enemies in the actual game.
Damn this video was so amazing! Had to lough out loud many times thank you for this man your ingenious 😂
I’m so glad YT recommended your Tib Sun video to me because I’m really enjoying your C&C videos
I played this game for absolute years... the online multiplayer was really something special
My god there is so little high quality CnC content (outside of match commentary ) . Thank you so much for the video man , I loved watching it before work!
This was by far the best rendition of CnC: Renegade I have ever seen. You sir are a genius. Congratulations and may the guiding hand of Kane illuminate your path for peace through power.
Great video. I can't stop coming back to this one. Renegade is an underrated gem. You deserve more subs for this quality style video!
I used to play the OG multiplayer all the damn time when I was a kid. This was a great dose of nostalgia haha, well done.
I used to play this when it came out. Love the hillarious commentary, it's so true!
Blew my mind after watching all your cnc videos to then discover you also made the thin your paints video which i have enjoyed for many years!
I loved this game as a kid. I always hoped that the multiplayer would turn into something like battlefront 2 (classic) but with bases to blow up.
I spent so much time back in the day playing renegade multiplayer, can't wait to see your follow up video.
Thank you homie. I've been feeling nostalgic for this game lately and watching this basically satisfying that itch without taking the time to actually replay it. Being a child stuck inside the body of an old man is hard sometimes.
Criminally underrated Channel.
Been binge watching for a couple hours now
Thank you for reviewing this gem. I hope that this video gets more views and likes.
well made and edited, thanks
love the game
I love this video. :D This style of editing is perfect to my taste :D
This commentary was hilariously informative. I just recently repurchased the collectors edition with all 17 games and have fallen back in love with C&C. Especially renegade. So many hours into this game. Truthfully I would LOVE a remaster of this one. Anyways sub from me!
I love how you not only Nod (pun intended) to Civvie but also his lore haha. He's one of my favorite channels along with yours. Please do more CnC videos! I grew up playing red alert mainly and I've been getting into the other games now as well
I wish you posted more often, I really like your content!
Hey man, thanks! It really means a lot to me when I see comments like this.
I'm currently working on the tiberium sun video. It's a 30 page monster of a script and it's not even done yet. I hope people will enjoy it too.
@@DrWhite CNC TIB WAR 3 and KANES WRATH?😅
I regularly rewatch/relisten to this... absolutely perfect video
Still play this game! You're commentary on this hit the nail on the head.
I never really played this game much, but I remember it being amazing to mess around in. Good video, I miss old games like this.
Loved the video.
Renegade was awesome and underated but I loved it. And so did many others. Had tons of hours of multiplayer fun with the good old Gamespy. And finished the campaign at least 10 times, it was always a great adventure. So many great memories brought back through this video.
Brings back soooo many memories, I played this day and night as a kid xD
Do more of these. You have amazing voice and humour.
11:15
Joseph Kucan: **says literally anything**
Me: **NOD fanboy noises**
Great video, glad you highlighted RenX at the end. Renegade's multiplayer community was strong and lasted until about 2012 when GameSpy finally ended.
Really enjoyed watching this!
*uses superweapon to kill a single harvester*
You make the Super Weapon General proud.
This is now in my recommended? glad I found your channel.
Thanks for making this. This game is super jank, but it also has a ton of personality and I loved it
You mentioned the Über Soldat from Return to Castle Wolfenstein, would love to see you do a similar style video on that game from my childhood. Keep up the great work!
LOL, love your commentary. Played Renegade a LOT when it came out, mostly multiplayer, bugs and all. Renegade-X was/is a godsend :)
I like how armor and health were two different values that did the same thing.
Your commentary on one of my favorite games of all time is a genuine treat.
You completely missed out on the MP though.
Tiberium Technologies makes it possible to play online and there is an active modding scene
This walkthrough is very educational. Thank you:)
Liked and subscribed, this was awesome!
I love the usage of other C&C music like Arazoid and Tactics.
This is my childhood. Got this game, and oh boy... the joy I had. The world felt dynamic which is kinda ahead of it's time!
The music choices in this video are awesome!
Why do I remember that one level in the game had jetpack troopers, that took place inside a NOD facility that got ion blasted while you were still inside it?
I instantly love this channel now.
Strange you don't have millions of views... Eventually it will happen. This idea of compressed and well narrated gameplay is brilliant. Gonna steal it.
I love this. My childhood game paired with some dank memes, thank you
Thanks for making a good review of an underappreciated game from the great old Westwood Studios.
30:25 - Isn't there a switch in the room that lets you kill the Templars that haven't broken out of their capsules yet, one switch for each side?
Not that I could see. If it's on the lower floor, good luck surviving the ones that are out already. Tib weapons damage-over-time are insane on Commando
@@DrWhite Last I remember, there are two switches on the lower floor located on consoles that kill the Templars that haven't broken out of their capsules yet. Or I could be misremembering and thinking of a similar room but with Initiates.
i smelled that civvie nod from a mile, from right when the difficulty select screen popped up
I remember playing that Multiplayer when i was a child. I loved it.
That little shoutout to Populous: The Beginning was awesome!
I never played Renegade, despite how much I loved Command & Conquer because I just wrote it off as off-genre nonsense. However I like how it does truly feel like a Command & Conquer game aesthetically, might be worth a retrospective pick up and play. Good stuff!
This brings back so many memories, I can’t handle it
Man, Renegade X stuff has been showing up on my dash for days recently. Something must've happened with it
Renegade X Firestorm is coming!
I recall playing a Renegade X campaign as well, I also loved the multiplayer since I've never played the original's multiplayer.
I played the campaign, but it was ridiculous. It took the cheesiness of Renegade, and just did it up to 1000.
God, why is this video so good? I keep rewatching this video and I can't come up with a good reason.
Nostalgic, I remember playing A Path Beyond mod on my ATI FURY MAXX.
I played it on my dad's 9600 GT! And I didn't want him to know I was using his computer, so I had to uninstall and reinstall it every time.. All 4 patches.. One by one..
This video is TH-cam gold, thanks for making this!
I'm so sad i've found the C&C Videos so damn late.. i LOVE em already!
