The folks over at
Kotaku UK have released an article that takes an in-depth look at the
Command and Conquer's franchise exploration with the First-Person Shooter (FPS) genre,
Renegade. It also elaborates how Renegade, despite having been released almost a decade and a half ago in 2002, still continues to inspire a small but loyal group of community modders who try to experiment and upgrade the gameplay featured in Renegade for contemporary taste.
For a small community of devoted modders, Renegade lives on as the subject of enormous curiosity and experimentation. Since the game’s release, the modding team at W3D Hub has been testing the possibilities of its robust W3D Engine, using it to recreate beloved C&C titles like Red Alert, Tiberian Sun, and (in-progress) Red Alert 2 in first-person form. The attention to detail is incredible, with all the units, iconic soundtracks, and even Tanya’s famous catchphrases making it into these painstakingly-crafted standalone mods.

The mods discussed in the article include, but are not limited to,
Red Alert: A Path Beyond,
Tiberian Sun Reborn and the much-covered
Renegade X. If you have not heard about the Renegade FPS, or the thriving modding scene assosciated with it that has spawned many much acclaimed standalone mods then this seems like a good entry into that field.
