On the eve of its ship date, Westwood Studios revealed that it is testing two new multiplayer maps for Command & Conquer Renegade that will allow players to control air-based vehicles from the original Command & Conquer RTS game. Electronic Arts will publish Renegade under the EA GAMESTM brand and it ships to retail stores tomorrow.

The new flying units, taken from the original Command & Conquer strategy game, are:
* The GDI Orca, an advanced helicopter armed with powerful chain guns and missiles.
* The Nod Apache attack helicopter, also armed with chain guns and missiles.
* The Chinook troop transport, a large helicopter that can carry five troops. Both Nod and GDI will have this versions of this vehicle.

The “City” and “Walls” maps included in the final version of the game serve as the basis for the new maps. Most of the buildings have also been modified to allow for rooftop access.
