I HAVE NEVER SEEN A GAME WITH SO MANY NEWBIES! I'M AVERAGE AND A AT BEST AND A 56KER AND YET I CAN OFTEN GET 2ND OR 1ST PLACE! Its SAD when you consider that this game is VERY newbie friendly. Heck, even my sister who has never played an FPS before could probly 0wn everyone once she gets used to the controls!And here is some proof that the Renegade community doesn't know jack about teamwork.
85\% of everyone I meet on Renegade is a newbie or total loser.
10\% of everyone I meet is a average skilled lone wolf that doesn't care about the rest of the team.
And the remaining 5\% are the REAL players!
But then again, I think I know why players play lone wolfs.
The ladder system discourages teamwork. If I were to take a flame tank and shred 2 buildings and get 4000 points, I would get only 1000-3000 if someone else in a flame tank tagged along.
