Has anyone bought this game or does anyone use their forums? They just started their first RTS series, which is quite good.
There's a thread a little bit old regarding Renegade / Renegade 2. They haven't said much if they plan to eventually create a FPS version for this series, but these people DO listen to what everyone has to say and have responded earlier in this thread to questions regarding Ren/Ren2. This would be a good place to request or "petition" a new FPS C&C mode type game. While it wouldn't be Renegade 2 they could make a C&C mode FPS for their RTS series, which in my opinion could be quite good. A lot of the units in this game are really innovative and just thinking about driving them is quite exciting.

Yeah imagine, AT-AT pounding at the entrance instead of mammoth tanks.
AT-ST as medium tank
Tie-Interceptor as Apache
X-Wing as Orca
Superweapons--> ION Cannon--> Deathstar
2 Bases. Each protected by a Shield Generator in the field.
Rebels vs Empire
Ofcourse would need to have the abillity to blow up buildings. The Shield Generators should de blowable up from the Inside.
You start of with a normal rebel soldier or Empire soldier.
Can upgrade to characters like The Wookie, Empire technician. Trooper heavy assault.
Have the units of Star wars Battlfront sort of, but the C&C Mode of Renegade. The flying units based on Star Wars Rogue Sqaudron
Only thing that worries me is the economics. Does anyone have good solution?
................ forget it Renegade 2 would be alot more for the win 
Now that I think of it there used to be some kind of Star Wars mod for Renegade? I wonder what happened.

I actually used to have high hopes for Petroglyph in the past. I thought "woah, it's Westwood!" and a lot of people follow Petroglyph for that reason. Take a visit to the Petroglyph forums and you'll see a lot of die-hard C&C fans.
However I didn't like Empire at War or Universe at War. They're way too different from the Westwood games which I had immediately loved. I feel that people only follow them because they're former Westwood, but the only reason why I liked Westwood was because I loved their style of games. I liked the sidebar, engineers, construction yard system, the storylines, etc. They completely let go of what made them unique. So considering they turned around 180 degrees on their own RTS style, it makes their games barely worth playing to me.
I actually enjoyed C&C3 a lot more than the Petroglyph games, despite its storyline inconsistencies.
