if they'd made a number2, they probably would've fucked that up too.
The concept and gameplay was excellent for renegade, a quite unique and very fun game to play. The only problem was that westwood don't know how to make games.
It was so buggy and poorly constructed, it was more of a beta, they just rushed the thing out, i mean, come on, they added air units in a patch for christs sake!
another 4-6 months on renegade would've made it a truly great game.
but anyhow, as i said, another renegade would be fucked over too.
just look at red alert/c&c, they were great games, whereas tiberium sun/red alert2 are so disgraceful it's not even funny. :/
after red alert, westwood pretty much just tried to sell their name, pumping out as many games as quickly as they possibly could.
bleh.
