Post Description

Renegade X, oorspronkelijk een total-conversion mod voor UT3 maar tegenwoordig een standalone spel op de UDK, is een remake / opvolger van Command & Conquer Renegade uit 2002. Renegade X wordt ontwikkeld door een groep indie-ontwikkelaars, verenigd onder het vaandel Totem Arts, die goede herinneringen hebben aan de multiplayer van deze klassieker en dit nieuw leven in willen blazen. De multiplayerversie is nog niet af, maar als een soort demo en showcase van wat verwacht kan worden van de toekomstige multiplayerversie heeft het team een korte singleplayercampaign gemaakt. Het resultaat hiervan, Operation Black Dawn, is sinds een paar dagen geleden voor iedereen gratis te downloaden. Hieronder de officiele releaseinformatie.

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.

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.
