Renegade X is an fan-made reimagining of C&C: Renegade—the Command & Conquer FPS that seemingly everyone liked more than I did. A new trailer has emerged alongside the game's Open Beta #4 update, which adds new maps, modding tools and an in-game jukebox, among other changes.
Here's a list of the patch's main features:
- 3 new levels: Under, Canyon, and Complex.
- Auto-patcher
- Modding/mapping tools
- Ingame Jukebox
- Smoke Grenades
- Vehicle drops
- Building destruction changes: tier one infantry remain accessible after Hand/Bar destruction, Refinery and Powerplant destruction less severe
- Optimization for better performance and crash fixes
- Vehicle kill messages (seeing what destroyed your vehicle)
- Timed C4 countdown (audio and visual indicators)
- EMP grenade changes
- Pawn and vehicle movement adjustments
- New vehicle locking system
- Idle-player kicking system (with warnings)
- Improved spotting system and radio visuals
- New Havoc/Sakura specific explosive arrangements
- New C&C-mode themed loading screen
- Oodles of fixes, balance changes, and more

Or, if spurred on by that trailer, you just want to listen to more Frank Klepacki...
This new FPS is so good, it's almost unfair that it's free: A '1v1 me bro' simulator with 70 maps and no microtransactions that feels like the sickest Counter-Strike: Source mod of 2007
Valve giveth, and Valve taketh away: Team Fortress 2's BLU Scout is once again wearing the 'wrong' pants after a 17 years-in-the-making fix was reversed a day later
