0.50 Release coming up!

Renegade X's fourth release candidate will make its appearance on Sunday, January 10th, 2010!.

While you're waiting, if you haven't tried the Renegade X 0.40 beta, what are you waiting for? Try it here: Renegade-x.com

Not only has the team been having a blast with the 0.40 beta, but we've been hard at work on the new build. This release will be a great way to propagate the mod for the annual Mod of the Year contest, as it will include a substantive amount of new content and fixes.

0.50 will include the following:

Buildings:
-GDI Powerplant
-Nod Powerplant

Weapons:
-Ramjet Rifle
-Volt Autorifle
-New & improved Repair Gun
-New & improved Sniper Rifle

Characters:
-New & improved Havoc

Maps:
-Walls
-Under

Features:
-IRC Server Bot (thanks to Buzzer at MP Gaming)
-New server client version
-Scoreboard for end of game
-PLENTY of glitch fixes
-Renegade X Map Editor

0.50 will be Renegade X's last Unreal Tournament 3 beta, so we are trying to pack it with as much content as possible. With the map editor, one will be able to make his or her own Renegade X maps.

We will then take some time to develop the standalone version of Renegade X for the Unreal Development Kit. We don't know how long it will be until the standalone version of Renegade X is available, but we're already hard at work on it. Until then, we will be organizing several events with the 0.50 version, and you will be hearing about them in later updates.

We're sending a Commando!
The witty, rough n' tough commando is back! Captain Nick "Havoc" Parker has finally made it into the remake. As the most badass Commando to ever join the Global Defense Initiative, Havoc wields the terrifying Ramjet rifle, threatening all who decided to join Nod.

Powerplants are back!
The new Powerplants are back for version 0.50. A powerplant supplies power to its respective base - when destroyed, all main defenses go offline, credit flow is reduced by 50%, and all weapon and vehicle prices increase by 200%. Better keep an eye on that Powerplant, losing it can mean losing your base!

Wallpaper!
We've prepared a new wallpaper, enjoy!
