US TAC MOD review
RENEGADE LEGION MOD review
RENEGADE LEGION
It was with mixed feelings that I choosed to download the new, very talked  about RENEGADE LEGION mod. One of the things I like so much regarding the Rainbow series of games is the realism, and this mod is anything but. Still, I'm also an all-out science fiction nerd, be it in the writing or in the filming. It also helped a lot that Cocobolo Ops was involved in it. I've been VERY impressed with the US TAC MOD(review on this site), and are eagerly awaiting his next work constantly.

It's quite a large mod, and I like that. It gives 'some' indication that it will really DO something. And, boy, it does. A completely new interface, with new sounds, such as the usual SF noises "shhikk" and " live fire exercise" to the death of some monsters, a low growl. The voices & sounds are actually quite good and they work well. The graphic interface, however, looks as if they didn't spend very much time on it. I found them rather unpleasing, but
I can live with that.

I decided to start with "Live fire exercise"(terr. hunt), and was, as always, itching to see what weapons i could take with me into lethal combat. There is nice selection to choose from, including 'grenade launchers', 'rail guns', and so on. I'll go easy on the space weapon selection and move on into my(always) favorite part, the models/skins. My weakness in these games are the females(I always play as a female), and this is one point where this mod really shines; look at the pics, it's amazing what they did. The eyes turn to the sides, the graphics are razor sharp and the hair is astonishing. They almost look better than Susan Grey in Ghost Recon. Woot. Aside from the battle-girls, you'll have the choice of several species(of small furry animals(little Pink Floyd joke)) ranging from bugs to cyborgs and so on. THEY EVEN MADE THE MUCH-WANTED ONE-KNEE CROUCH!(look left). This is sure to please a lot of Roguers.


The AI has been made a lot tougher, probably due to their ability to be perfect shots.
Look at those eyes!
The one knee-crouch.
United in death and glory.
One of the reticules..They're REALLY spacey.
A cyborg. This is one of the really well-made figures in the mod.
This is my favorite. Click the pic, and look at the eyes and brows. Amazing!
I love this; this is pure tv-series, comic book sci-fi.
Very nice work, though I'm more into short hair.
Grenades are, as always, your friends.
The killing shot?. Not with team god on.
You don't want to meet this guy in a dark alley.
I'm out of air here...
No comment!
And this will not bring us to the conclusion. I'll(as with the US TAC mod) keep playing, single and, mostly, multiplayer and will make updates when I have something clever to say(BAH!).

It's too far away for my taste, but the artwork I've seen here is very good, at times. But the innovation alone deserves credit. I would have given this mod 3.5 frogs, but I won't cut up Kermit, so I'll give it three.
