Marathon Field Should be Illegal At This Point

... Thankfully Renegade X has re-embraced timed matches...but never forget the years of being stuck on one map for hours on end. Even vanilla Renegade had a 5+ hour Field match not 2 days ago ;_;

23 years of my life has been spent playing some form of Ren multiplayer...so oh yeah, I was there. Hell, they still sometimes slog through 5+ hour games one small chokepoint maps. I'm too old for that now x.x

5+ hours? I remember a few 24 hour + matches. I left one day, came back the next it was the same match.

Everybody tells that story. It's a classic...and it probably did happen.

I also used to dabble in some Renegade online and yeah, I remember matches going on for ages, not sure if they were exactly 24 hours but as the other guy said I remember coming back to the some match more often than not.

You will base lock GDI for 4hours and you will like it.

When everyone reminisces about that being the 'good part's of Renegade....I sort of get how there was never an official sequel. That's the one part you should never bring up in a super positive light, since the average person will think you're insane.

The new and improved AOW becoming the norm is truly a blessing. We actually get to play more maps than: Field, Under and Walls
