Renegade X
Totem Arts | Released Jan 27, 2012
"We have waited centuries for this moment. The rivers will flow with the blood of those who oppose us." - Kane
Renegade X: Black Dawn - January Teaser - Mod DB
The conflict between the Global Defense Initiative (GDI) and the Brotherhood of Nod originated in the late twentieth century, when a meteor carrying a mysterious substance struck the Tiber river in Italy. It was named Tiberium, which composed of valuable elements. Although Tiberium has proven to be an important source of income when refined, it is fatally toxic, and its contagious spread threatens all life on earth.
GDI was formed in 1985 by the United Nations as an international security force set to combat global terrorism. Conceived as a united peacekeeping military force, GDI depends on the technological sophistication of its weaponry, and the superior training and loyalties of its officers.
At the same time, the Brotherhood of Nod, led by the charismatic Kane, grew to prominence. Working largely in third world countries, wherever there was discontent and unrest, there was Kane. With the promise of a New World Order and bankrolled by the illicit Tiberium research and trade that Kane made famous, Nod began to gain power. A few scattered, disaffected units grew into an army with powerful atomic weaponry, ruthless tactics, and a Tiberian fortune.
Where GDI stands for international stability and the containment of Tiberium's expansive spread, Nod seeks to overthrow the established order and build a world centred on Tiberium research.
Renegade X
Renegade X is a tactical First and Third Person Shooter with Real Time Strategy elements, set in the Command & Conquer universe. It is a high quality award-winning free indie game being created on the Unreal Development Kit. Originally, Renegade X was an Unreal Tournament 3 mod, and the beta won six awards, including "#2 Best Vehicle Set" for the Making Something Unreal Contest, "#3 Best Upcoming Mod" for the Mod of the Year Contest in 2008, and "#2 Best Multiplayer" in 2009's MOTY.
In 2010, Totem Arts made the decision to make Renegade X available to everyone. Since then, Renegade X's standalone version has been in development. The first standalone release will be a singleplayer mini-campaign called Operation Black Dawn, which will act as a demonstration of things to come. We will then develop and release the awaited multiplayer version.

The day you’ve all been waiting for!
First, I’d like to congratulate Totem Arts and the Renegade X community on its 5th anniversary! It’s been five years since we originally announced Renegade X as an Unreal Tournament 3 mod. Since then, we’ve released five multiplayer betas on UT3, and in the past year and a half, we’ve been working on the standalone version of Renegade X. We hope the coming year is as kind to us as our previous years! And what better day to release our singleplayer campaign - Renegade X: Operation Black Dawn.
WHAT IS RENEGADE X?
Renegade X is an indie standalone game, bringing the world of Command & Conquer to ground level. Renegade X is a tactical First Person Shooter with RTS elements, featuring two unique factions, each with distinctive weapons and vehicles.

OPERATION: BLACK DAWN
Renegade X is both a singleplayer and multiplayer game. On January 28th 2012, Totem Arts released “Renegade X: Black Dawn”. Black Dawn is a free, standalone, short 1-2 hour singleplayer game we have been preparing for quite some time now. Although most of Renegade X’s aspirations are in the multiplayer realm, in mid-2010, we decided that a short campaign would precede our upcoming standalone multiplayer beta.
Black Dawn is a demonstration of what is to come in the future. The release date of the final multiplayer version is still to be announced, and hence, we thought it would be good for you to have something to play while you wait. This demonstration is complete with a short 10-part campaign, custom cinematics and fantastic gameplay. It will be an opportunity for you to get used to all the weapons, vehicles, characters, and changes before the upcoming multiplayer release.
You can download and play Renegade X: Black Dawn today, for free!

STORY
Operation Black Dawn takes place on a small island in the Black Sea. The island has been turn into a fortress belonging to the Brotherhood of Nod, an international terrorist organization.
Satellite images show that the island is heavily defended: automated turrets lie on all shores, and troop patrols roam the island day and night. Although it is unclear if Nod forces have access to sophisticated anti-aircraft batteries, there are large forests stretching across the island which obstruct the view of satellites.
On a recent trip to the Tiber River in Italy, Tiberium research specialist Dr. Ignatio Mobius and his daughter Sydney Mobius were captured by Nod's Black Hand elite team.
The UN's Global Defense Initiative, an international military force committed to world order and peacekeeping, has been authorized to conduct a secret naval operation. GDI intelligence has confirmed that the Black Hand smuggled the scientists and other prisoners of war onto a ship to Albania, where they were then flown via C-130 to this Nod island stronghold. Since Dr. Mobius is GDI's leading scientist in the field of Tiberium, he is a valuable asset and must be safely returned before the contagious spread of Tiberium further harms the world population and environment.
Hence, the objective of "Operation Black Dawn" is to destroy the Nod base and recover the scientists. Two GDI battalions have been dispatched to deploy on the southern and eastern shores of the island. The battalion to the east is to distract Nod forces, while a commando team attacks the southern beachhead, flanks the enemy and infiltrates the Nod base with air and ground support

A little confused after viewing the video.
This a demo?
Will final version still be free?
yeah, this is demo.. and I'm not recommend to rate a singplayer demo before main (multiplayer) release (also because it is the first singleplayer experience of devs), the UT3 mod is perfect as Remake of C&C Renegade, but in standalone version will be some interesting changes..
and final vesion is free as every UDK game
Not every UDK game is free, they have a very flexible licensing system for commercial launches that does not require a ton of cash up front.
Havoc, try not to break anything.
Uhm, guys? What happened to your forums? Moved somewhere?
Also, any chance of a more high-resoluted mode for Renegade X? Honestly, the highest settings in Renegade X looked like medium to me, come on, it's 2012, raise the bar a bit!
Is the sunday game on today? i cant find the renegade x server.
Renegade-x.com is down. What's happening??? :S
COOOOOOOOOL GAMEE
will this game run with a 8800gt? the rest is fine but im not too shure bout the graphiccard
yeah, I had an 8800gt before I got the 560, and I was able to run it just fine, sure it would get a bit choppy at times, but it still runs fine.
