If you've ever wanted to know how it would feel to be in the middle of a Command & Conquer firefight, then the C&C mode of Renegade is your ticket to chaos and mayhem. In C&C mode, two teams, the Brotherhood of Nod and the Global Defense Initiative (GDI) try and destroy each other's base, just like in the RTS game.

Now IGN Guides is here with a guide specifically tailored to the C&C Mode of Renegade. The guide is stuffed with all of the multiplayer information you need, including winning strategies, full weapons specs, unit descriptions and map analysis. Strap on a flamethrower, grab four of your closest friends and wreak havoc... Renegade-style!

Get the Guide Here.

Change the map in Multiplayer mode by changing the map name in Multiplayer. This only works if you pretend to be the host of a LAN game. This trick is universally acceptable in a wide variety of FPS type games, like Aliens Versus Predator 2 and Voyager: Elite Force.

Note: This involves editing a game file so create a backup copy before proceeding. Or you'll be sorry.

Use a text editor to open svrcfg_skirmish.ini in the drivepath:\westwood\renegade\data directory.

Changing the GAMETIME value to numeric zero will remove the time limit, as well as fiddle with a lot of other things, like the amount of credits you start with.
