Seriously, if you like first person shooters or just any action game, you will like this. The sales for this game skyrocketed and it became platnium. This is the best first person shooter I have played on any system. it is entertaining, not too hard and there are different game modes to play than just the storyline. I live in Australia, where we get the Europena games, but I really think that there is no difference between the two. This will stay among my favourite games of all time, right in there with the Grand theft Auto series. 4: UPDATES AND REVISION HISTORY: 5: COPYRIGHT: This Document Copyright Aaron Baker 2003.

My interests include: Sports, Video games and writing game guides. I'm 14 years of age and male. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> -----GAME BASICS----- <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ======================================================================= 1. CONTROLS: ======================================================================= Seriously, the controls that are deigned for you absolutely suck. I have never had worse default controls for a first person shooter. Luckily, you can actually change what setup that you use. Of all the first person shooters Iv'e played (Honestly, I have only played 5 first person shooters) I have always use the X button to shoot, and that has been the best working for me and the default setting for 4 out of the 5 games (Not including this game). 2. HERE ARE THE CONTROLS THAT I USE: ====================================== Cross: - Shoot (Fire a bullet, throw a remote charge) Square: - Use (Push button, lever, etc.) Circle: - Alternative fire (Use secondary weapon attack, silencer) Triangle: - Jump (Go up into the air) L-Analog: - Move (Walk straight, sidestep, backwards) R- Analog: - Player visibility (Look up and down, turn) Up: - Fine aiming (Sniper vision) Down: - Crouch (Duck) Left: - Centre view (Return view to straight ahead) Right: - Display messages (Put up message log) L1: - Previuos weapon (Select pre. weapon on weapon wheel) R1: - Next weapon (Select next weapon on weapon wheel) L2: - Holster weapon (Hide weapon for undercover etc.) R2: - Reload weapon (Put full clip of ammo in weapon) START: - Pause (Make play stop) SELECT: - Bring up menu (Save, Load, Quit, etc.) 3: DEFAULT CONTROLS: (Thx to Gullermo69) ============================================== Alternate Fire - R2 Button Use - X Button Jump - L1 Button Crouch - L2 Button Holster/Unholster Weapon - Left D-Pad Button Reload - Triangle Button Next Weapon - O Button Previous Weapon - Square Button Fine Aim Mode - Up D-Pad Button Center Crosshair - Down D-Pad Button Walk/Sidestep - Left Analog Stick Pitch/Turn - Right Analog Stick 4: GAME MODES: =============================== NEW GAME (1 PLAYER) Start a new game, it's just you in the main storyline of the game. MULTIPLAYER: Verse a friend in a deathmatch TRAINING: Test your skills 5: HEADS UP DISPLAY: =========================== AMMUNITION The ammo appears in the top right hand corner of the screen. there are two little parts here, the one on the left shows how much ammo you have in the clip. If it is low, you should reload. The second slot shows how much ammo the weapon has all up. HEALTH AND ARMOUR This appears at the top left of the screen. It shows two rings, an outside and the inside. The outside is the armour, and the inside is the health. Number figures can be found as well in the same place. WEAPON Bah, it's the thing that you see straight in front of you. It has the weapon pointing out, ready for a kill. CROSSHAIRS In case you don't know, the crosshairs is where the weapon is aimed. The crosshair is a + MESSAGES: During the game, you will hear messgaes from people such as Hendrix. they appear at the top of the screen. CYCLE: The weapons cycle, press the next weapon or previous weapon to get it up, then you can select your weapon taht you want, on the right. TIME LIMIT: Only comes up twice in the game. This is the time limit you hace remaining to get to somewhere or do something. 6: GAME TIPS AND TACTICTS ====================================== SPEED: Speed is the main key you will need to use. Speed is good for many things. The main one is that you will avoid bullets that are fired at you. Always use this and always keep moving. Try not to stop of times when you are in a real battle field. This is a great skill to learn, and isn't hard. STEALTH: Using stealth is not really nescessary in most of the game, but there will be 2 times (One optional) where you need to use it. Here are some tips and tactics for using steath, - Using stealth is quite easy, just move around normaly, but make sure the rest of the things below are done - Always holster your weapon, enemies can see weapons from far away, plsu it looks bad when your confronting a normal employee who doesn't know who you are, they will set off the alarm - Enemies can only see directly in front of them. They can't see to the to the left or right of them, unless you do the last thing - Steer the camera away from people, in other words, do not look directly at people, or bump into people at all - Hide any body you have to kill, press use to pick it up, and use again to throw it on an open part - If you do want to kill someone, make it quick and silent, equip the silencer and shoot fast before they can get away - Do not press alarms yourself, even if you do, they will still come after you, even if you set the alarm off - Avoid detection, if you are detected, then easily reload your game at your last point, so save regualrly - If you feel you have made a big achievement getting past something, then save it, but never save if you are detected. - Innocents don't know who you are, only the guys with guns really know who you are, don't hide from them - Memorise enemies paths so that you know where you go and then choose a good path to get around them. QUICK KILLS: Easy, just fire at them and kill them. Look below for some tips and quick kills with weapons: Pistol: Continuously tap the shoot button, really fast Sub-machinegun: Keep firing, holding down the fire button Remote Charge: Don't even bother Sniper Rifle: Aim for the head, or afew body shots Shotgun: Use alt. fire and aim at the body Assault Rifle: Use normal fire, aim at the body Control Batton: Shock or Knock enemy, either ways good Grenade: By the explosion Heavy M-Gun: Alt. fire for 1 shot kill Rocket Launcher: Aim at feet of enemy Flame Thrower: Right up to someone and fire Rail Driver: Aim through walls at stationary mercs Fusion Rocket Launcher: Aim at packs of enemies BEST WEAPONS: There are 3 (One optional) places where you lose all your weapon, or only keep a Pistol. So, way before you go undercover or whatever, use your best weapon. Most people will go...I will save my weapons for later on because it might get harder...... but since your losing them later on, use them now. Here are the places to start using your best weapons: 1)When you get to the bit with the fans and the ventialltion shafts with the ore basket that carries you. 2)Once you get out of the Aseir fighter with Gryphon. 3) Not sire, but somewhere up near the end of the game, after the "Crash Site" bit. RELOADING IN FIGHTS: Simple enough, try not to do it. If you happen to waste the entire clip, then hide somewhere, don't stay out in the open, otherwsie you will probably be shot to pieces. If you can't hide, just simply strafe and keep moving so the enemy wont have time to shoot you. If you are using a heavy machine-gun, that has alot of ammo in it's clip, so don't bother about reloading until it is nearly empty. BASIC KILLING: The most importent thing to do in Red Faction is to kill (Duh) To easily kill with a lock on weapon, get the lock on of an enemy, and then continuously tap or hold the fire button (Depends on the weapon). Thats how you kill, easy. If you have a non-lockon non heavy weapon (Like the Heavy machinegun for example) then aim for the enemies head, that will kill very quickly indeed. GAINING AMMO: To kill, you need ammo. Ammo can be found all over the place. The amin way to get some ammo is off your dead ultor guards that you have killed. They contain precious ammo that you may and will need. Always take their weapon for some extra ammo. SOmetimes they may leave healthkits or an envirosuit, so be it. Take it, reward yourself for a nice kill. HUH?: Sometimes, you come kill an enemy,and his gun drops, but you can't pick it up. No, it isn't a glitch. The reason you can't knick their weapon is that you have full ammo for the weapon. If you find a pattern where guards in the area are using X weapon, use that weapon because ammo will be easy to find. If you are using the weapon, and it can carry 100 bullets for example, and you have 1 in the clip, and 100 in the toal region, reload to pick it up. HIDDEN TREAURES: Sometimes when you kill people, they leave a Medikit, or an envriosuit. This doens't just go for the Ultor guards and Mercs, it goes for Meds, technitions and even other miners. You can kill them to garb a medikit off the medics and sometimes the Miners will carry the Envirousit. I know it's wrong to kill them, but they will eventually get killed anyway. Sometimes there are miner suits over the place, garb them for some extra envirosuit armour. 11: OTHER BASIC THINGS =============================== - Do the trainging to learn some skills and get aquanted with the controls, what things you can do and all those things. - You can pick up and hide a body, stand back from the body and press the use button to carry the dead person. Then drop them in a open space somewhere out of the way. - Go to a medic and press the use button, he will heal you to the fullest your health can go, actually only sometimes 99. Remember, he only heals health, and not envirosuit armour. - If you are outside in mars without any envirosuit armour, your health will start de-creasing. Find a enirosuit or something, or load. - Use the right weapon for the right time, e.g: Don't always waste your bazooka ammo as soon as you get it. - Alt fire can sometimes work better than the other use for the weapon. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> -----LISTS----- <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> 1: WEAPONS ================================ PISTOL: This is just the basic pistol that you first get in the game. It is also the first weapon you obatin in multiplayer and you get this this at the start of the game. The accuracy is excellent because of the lock on method. Fire rate is excellent if you know the trick and this can kill very easily and quickly. To get a quick kill, keep tapping SHOOT while locked onto someone and fire away. This will kill so quickly, this is why this weapon should be in your top 4 preferences because if you weigh up these facts, this weapon is better than the rail driver AND the rocket launcher. The bullets that are fired don't take away massive amounts of health, but keep firing and you will kill easily without losing much health. A great weapon, enemies have this weapon as their default as well, but may find other weapons on their travels, so when you kill an enemy, garb their weapon. SUB-MACHINE GUN: A short looking machine-gun that looks quite nice when your carrying it also, but the look doesn't make it good, it's what it does that makes it good. Ammo for this is large, and the weapon itself is available in most of the levels playable. The accuaracy is excellent just like the pistol, as it locks on to the enemy bot. And the fire rate is better than the pistol because, well it's a machine gun. Machine-guns fires rapid bullets. The only real problem with this weapon is that it can take just a tad more time than the pistol to kill someone, but is still right up there with that if you weigh up the facts. Also, this weapon should be up there in the top 5 of your preferences because of all these great things. Should defently be used if you feel like a change from the pistol, or run out of pistol ammo. There are better weapons, but this is still quite relyable. SNIPER RIFLE: Sniper Rifles are really ment to be for long distance kills and aiming looking through the scope, but the action packed multiplayer doesn't give you time to get a good shot like this because you will probably get shot and killed while aiming to perfection, and also because the speed of the enemies and you doesn't allow you for a decent shot. The fire rate is ok, ok meaning not real great, but not terribly bad as well. The only things worse than this in the fire rate section and the heavy weapons. Accuracy is bad as well, as it isn't lock on. The bullets can kill very quick though, but you will probably die by enemy gunfire before you can get the shot in the right place. To get a instant kill, you must get someone in the head, and with the speed of the game, this can be hard. If you want to continuos fire, hold down SHOOT, the bullets that come out are the fastest they can go. PRECISION RIFLE: Don't be folled by the name, this is easily the best weapon with all the facts weighed up. Lest start with the facts shall we? The fire rate is excellent, continously tap the X button to spurt out alot of bullets. This acts basically like the pistol in it's fire rate, but actually a bit better. Next, we will move onto the accuracy: Excellent, absouletly great, it is lock on, whcih gives it a big edge over someof the other weapons, and now the main reason you will want this weapon is for how fast it can kill. Lock on and fire about 4 or more bullets, the person will be dead, bang, gone! They die very quickly, and the sound of the bullets is nice for me. Weigh up all of these facts, and you will see that this is the best weapon to use. I guess no one gives a rats about my opinion, but I say that this weapon should be in the top 2 of your weapon preferences. Think about it: Excellent Fire Rate, Excellent accuracy, Excellent damage. ASSAULT RIFLE: Just a basic assault rifle, the Fire Rate is good, yes thats right, only good, and it's a machine gun. The only reason that i said it is good is because that after every about 5 bullets, it has to stop for about a second before shooting out some more bullets, this really lets it down, because in those seconds you can be shot to bits. Accuracy is the simple lock on method that most weapon have. The bullets damage isn't anything special as well, the bullets take ages to kill, and that stop in the middle (Which isn't the reload) is annoying and will most liely get you killed because those bullets in the time before the stopping wont kill the enemy. Easily, this should be avoided unless you like machine-guns or you just want a change from a different weapon or just run out of ammo on other weapons. This isn't high on my preferences list at all, I can tell you that. ROCKET LAUNCHER: Yes, the weapon of mass destruction. We all know this weapons from just about every other shooting game out there, it is also called a Bazooka or a RPG which stands for Rocket Propelled Greande. Also if you are interested, Bazooka is called a Panzerfaust in German (And they say Video Games teach us nothing!!). On with the facts: The fire rate is bad, but what do you really expect from this weapon. The accuracy I guess you could call ok, it isn't lock on or anything, but the edge is that when you fire, the explosion can spread abit. And now to the main part, the damage: Excellent, aim, fire near the ground and everyone within a certain distance of the explosion will be dead. Even when you fire, a hole will be left in the ground where the bullet struck. Do not shoot someone who is right in your face unless you want to suicide yourself as well. Also don't hit the ground below you with it. I think you know why. HEAVY MACHINE-GUN: This weapon is basically what they use in the war in those bunkers, if you have every played something like Medal Of Honour 1, 2 or 3 you will know what I mean. Lets start with the facts. Fire Rate: Well, what do you expect from a machine gun, because it's called a heavy machine gun, this weapon has the best fire rate in the hole game. The accuracy of this weapon is nothing sepcial, it isn't lock on, so you have to do the aiming yourslef, damn, I'm too lazy though. The bulets from this really don't do much damage, but what would be the fun of a quick kill with the best fire rate stat in the game, it would kill too quick, which would be good, but obviously the makers don't think that. If you want to get a qucik kill, aim for the head. Reloading really lets it down as well, as you can waste ammo very quick, and then get drenched with bullets while reloading. It's still an alright weapon, but the accuracy and reloading let it down. RAIL DRIVER: The name doesn't sound like this is a powerful weapon, but really it can be if you get it on the right spot. In all games, the rail driver has been a really powerful wepaon, and one that kills instantly once the bullet hits, same with this game. The fire rate is nothing spectacular, as you fire 1 bullet, then you need to reload another rail, so it takes ages. The accuracy is crap, buut what do you expect from a heavy weapon. The damage it does is the thing to rave about, fire 1 bullet and if it hits someone, there gone, dead. But getting the accuracy staright on someone is very hard due to no auto aim and the game is so fast paced that the bots move too quickly to get a good shot on them. Also, while your reloading after every shot, it takes ages and you will probably get shot to bits while doing it. Avoid this weapon, unless you just want to have some fun. AUTOMATIC SHOTGUN: I think we all know what a shotgun is. A shotgun is a big gun that when it fires a bullet, that bullet breaks up into several other little bullets that in real life can kill instantly. The shotgun here is bascically like it, except automatic. Automatic means it can fire quicker than a normal shotgun, but for me, it doesn't seem that way. the fire rate is nothing to rave about, but still better than some other weapons. The accuracy is the standard lock-on thing which I guess is good enough. The damage it causes is slightly good. 2 body shots at someone and they are dead. But once again, reloading is a pain in the ass. After every shot you have to reaload, which makes you vulnerable for attack, this is a let down to the weapon, but everyw weapon has something bad about it right? This should be low on your preferences. FLAMETHROWER: Any person who loves the action fighting games and shoot em ups will know what this weapon is. It's a flamethrower, which the name suggests it "Throws" flames, but it actaully shoots them out. Fire rate is great, hold down SHOOT and flame will come out excessively. Reloading time is excellent as well, meaning that you really don't need to reload at all. Every time you pick up one of these, the clip has 10 in it, and when you wate the 10 seconds of flame, then you lose it, so really there isn't no reload time. Accuracy I guess you could say is ok, because just aim and fire and the flames will spread around about, catching on to people around. Damage is ok, because just you fire, and it catches on and they start running around on fire. I guess you could say this is a good weapon, you decide for yourself where it is on your preferences. FUSION ROCKET LAUNCHER: The big mamma, this is just like the rocket launcher, instead way bigger and packs more of a serious punch. Don't worry, you will find out what this is capable of when you obtain it in the game. Fire rate is Not Applicable, as the gun can only hold 1 bullet, so you can't continuous fire with a weapon with 1 bullet, so I really can't say. But if you did obtain 2 bullets, I would say that the fire rate would be the same as the Rail Driver, in another words: Poor. The accuracy type is the non- lockon, which means you have to aim yourself, which I guess is good with this weapon of mass destruction. The damage is the great thing, as you would expect for a weapon of mass destruction. If you see a pack of enemies, fire a bullet into the ground next to them, and make sure you stand back. Watch the explosion, it looks cool. This weapon is only available in about 2 levels, so it's rare really. But remember make sure you shoot it into the ground by a pack of enemies, otherwise the destructive bullet will be wasted. REMOTE CHARGE: Remote Controlled Explosve thing. Press the ifre button to throw one of these, and you will then be holding a detonator. Press the fire button again to set off the detonator. Ok, now the stats. It can be thrown far, by if you want to throw it real far, throw it up in the air and foward abit. There really isn't anything to say about the fire rate, as really it's Not Applicable because this isn't a bullet weapon. 2: CHARACTERS ============================== PARKER: "I can't believe how stupid I was. Yeah, Come to Mars, Help Make A New World! How could I have believed that crap?" "I always thought I was different, better than most. Mom and Dad--Dr. and Dr. Parker, if you please--had my life all scoped out. Private schools, tutors, prep school, Ivy League for undergrad, then grad school and on to a glittering career in academia. They had me running their little maze." "I just couldn't take it anymore. Never being able to separate what I really wanted from what they'd trained me to want. Not knowing where I began and where they ended. No achievement was praiseworthy. When the acceptance letter from Harvard came, they took it like no big deal, just an expected turn in the maze. I went nuts. I ripped up the letter and stormed out of the house, hardly able to see straight. I wanted to do something that wasn't another item to mark off on their progress chart. Signing up for Ultor's mining operations on Mars sure fit that bill. I drove downtown, saw one of their recruiting offices, and it just clicked." "The next thing I knew, I was on a shuttle bound for Mars. hat's when it hit me. What was I doing? The other recruits lost their lunch during takeoff and it floated about the cabin for the whole ride. I dodged it during freefall, but when gravity returned on Mars, the mess fell over all of us." "Once we left the ship, it didn't get any better. We were stripped naked and then fire-hosed from sprayers in the walls and ceiling. It was humiliating- Ultor was showing us who was boss. With the showers over, they issued us uniforms. None of them fit. One new recruit tried to complain. He got beaten by the guards and was hauled off to the infirmary. The rest of us kept our mouths shut." "The barracks are a nightmare. The narrow bunks are stacked in dank rooms. Trash covers the floors and graffiti covers the walls. It wouldn't be so bad if the bed was ours, but we share them. While we're out in the mines, the previous shift uses our bunks. It's gross. "Once you're down in the mines, it's pure grunt work. We smash the rock out of the walls trying to follow a vein of noachite. I'm not sure why they just don't use bots to do the work. Ultor has them all over the place here." "It's getting tense around here. We're all scared and angry. Angry at Ultor for the conditions we work in and scared of the Plague. Miners are getting sick. Not flu-sick but something worse. Every day, dozens of miners collapse, in the mines and in the barracks, without warning. One minute they're fine, the next they're on the ground, writhing in pain or sometimes unconscious even before they hit the floor. And there's something wrong with their faces too. They seem...puffy or stretched. Some say that they've seen sick miners whose faces are bulging or pulsating. Everyone is on the verge of panic. "Lately, there've been pamphlets slapped up on the barracks and cafeteria walls. They're calling for miners to go on strike against Ultor, to refuse to work. Some of the flyers even urge us to attack the guards, to get back at them for all the years of mistreatment. No one knows who writes them. The pamphlets are signed 'Eos.' Some say it's the name of a group; some say it's the name of a woman who's trying to stir up the miners." "The security guards tear down the pamphlets as soon as they see them, but the damage has already been done. Dozens of people read them. In a few hours, hundreds of miners are talking about the latest pamphlet. People are grumbling, glaring at guards, and openly muttering about a strike or worse. It gets uglier every day. "I don't know what to think or do. I just want to get out of here alive, somehow. Harvard sounds better all the time." HENDRIX: During the game you will hear messages from Hendrix, an Ultor security technician sympathetic to the cause. Press the Message Log button (right on d-pad by default) to view them. "Growing up, I never heard anything negative about Ultor. Mom and Dad gave their lives to the corporation, in more ways than one. They blamed the Plague on bad luck, a Martian virus, or bad air--anything but Ultor. When you're in the belly of the beast, you shy away from wondering if it has your best interests in mind." "They wanted to keep me out of the mines in the worst way. They pushed me to excel at my studies and glowed with pride at every achievement. As long as I did well in Ultor's schools, I could stay out of the mines." "I took all of the tech courses I could. Not just the mechanical stuff that Ultor pushed on all of us, but comp sci, physics, chemistry- everything they'd let me into. Even that didn't stop me. When they wouldn't let me into a certain class, I just borrowed the tapes from someone who was. I wasn't going to wind up in the mines. "As I grew older, I started to hack into Ultor's systems. At first, I was extremely cautious. A friend of mine, Danny, his father supposedly stole something. After Ultor found out, Danny's whole family was gone overnight. I made sure I wouldn't get caught, and started by breaking into unimportant systems like the lock controls on the door to our apartment or the lights." "It took me a long time to get up the courage to crack a system outside our apartment. I kept picturing Danny and his family. I finally screwed up my nerve and started to hack into the grading records for our complex's school. I figured security would be pretty lax there, all things considered. It took me about two weeks of cautious trial and error, but I finally got in. I made sure I just looked around. When no one came knocking at our door over the next few days, I went back in and made some small changes to tests scores for a couple of my friends. I was afraid to do more, as the teachers might notice." "When I finished the tech program at age 15, they put me to work in the robot maintenance division, working on bot electronics. For the past ten years, I've worked long and hard at it, rising from maintenance to SciLab support and now to security technician." "All that time, my real work has gone on at home. One of the first subsystems I looked for was Ultor's snooper/tracker programs. By watching them work, I figured out how to avoid detection on my nightly forays. They're not that smart, so it wasn't hard. I felt safer then and began to explore further. I cracked hundreds of Ultor systems, never touching data or code, never leaving a trace (at least I hope not). Over the years, I've broken into almost every important system in the mining complex." "The exceptions are certain areas within the SciLabs' computer subnetwork and the medical facility subnetwork. Incredible security and layers of complex encoding surround all files within these areas. When I first encountered the SciLab section of the network, over two years ago, it scared me to death. Every few months I work up the courage to look again, but I always stop short. I'm not even sure I really want to see what's inside anyway. I've got a bad feeling about it." "Those network sections are under the personal security of Dr. Capek, the head of Ultor's Science Labs. He's the scariest person I've ever met. He looks like he's half robot, with implants all over his body. I think most of my fear of the SciLab subnet centers on running into Capek, even in a virtual arena." "For years, I've existed in two worlds. The physical world that I share with everyone else here in the daily drudgery of this hellish mining complex. But the virtual world of Ultor's computer net is mine alone. I've never talked about it with anyone, and I've never spotted another human presence among the autonomous programs that run the complex." "The irony of my current position doesn't escape me. Here I am, a security technician, entrusted with observing and maintaining a roomful of security monitors and data analysis equipment. I can watch activity in dozens of areas throughout the mining complex. I can also switch a monitor to show the view through any miner's helmet cam, giving me a choice of thousands of mobile cameras. And yet, I might be Ultor's single greatest security risk." "With what I know about the systems here, I could probably bring the entire mining operation crashing down. But they'd be sure to find me then, and I don't even want to think about that. I can help out anyone who wants to fight Ultor, though, whatever I can do without much risk. Maybe keep the rebels one step ahead." "There are some miners who're willing to start a revolt against Ultor. The one making the most noise right now goes by the code name 'Eos.' Her group has been posting flyers urging miners to rise up against Ultor." "I know who Eos is. Worse yet, Ultor knows too. That's how I found out- by looking through Ultor security files. I want to warn her, to tell her that Ultor's on to her and is biding its time for some reason. But I can't bring myself to contact her. I can't risk exposure. They're watching her and they might catch me." "So I sit and watch too, hoping things turn out OK. I've been watching for years now, as things slowly fall apart, as the miners and Ultor get closer and closer to a final confrontation." "That's the way I've always dealt with the world- by sitting and watching. Even when my parents died. They both seemed like they'd live and work forever. One day, a little over a year ago, we had just finished dinner when Dad started shivering and twitching, more violently every second. He flopped onto the floor before Mom or I could reach him. His face was bulging and stretching like it was made of rubber. Lumps were moving around under his clothes too. Mom freaked out. I called the medics, but he was dead before they got here. They said it was the Plague and had no idea what caused it." "I'd heard of the Plague, of course. Lots of people on Mom and Dad's shifts had been hit over the last few years. It always struck suddenly. Sometimes the victim died within minutes and sometimes he was still alive when the medics took him away. None of the miners taken away ever came back, so I'm pretty sure they died too. "After Mom got over the shock of Dad's death, she got mad, really mad. Dad had been in for his annual checkup at our section's medical facility just a week before and she thought they should have found it then. She railed on and on, night after night, about the medics' incompetence and how they could have cured him of the Plague. She went in for her annual four months later and came back ticked off all over again. Turns out she gave them a piece of her mind the whole time she was in there. Three weeks after that, my supervisor came into the monitoring room and told me Mom had collapsed in the tunnels and died before they could get her to a medic." "My annual checkup is in two weeks; I'm not going." EOS: Eos is the leader of the resistance movement on Mars. When Parker and a few brave miners fight back against the guards' brutality, the Red Faction triggers a full-scale revolt. "There's no going back now. We've finally made a move, after all these years of planning and talking. With last night's attack, we're finally committed." "Orion rigged the bomb. Once he was clear, I hit the Alert button outside the cafeteria. When the security guards ran out of their barracks, the blast took out six of them. That should stir things up." "I can't think of them as people. There's too much at stake here. They work for Ultor, helping the company kill miners. They're the enemy. Too many of my friends have died to feel pity now. We need to harden attitudes on both sides, to make conflict inevitable. Once miners realize they have no choice, once they know their lives depend on defeating Ultor, then they'll fight. And we'll win." "I can't believe it took this long. Ultor's made us live like animals for so many years that we've forgotten we're human. People have been beaten down, physically and mentally, and it's going to take a strong shock to get them back up. We're going to provide the juice, even if it kills us. But no matter what, the miners here will never go back to lurching through life like zombies. We're going to make sure of that." "Mom was one of the early Plague victims, over four years ago. Something about the reactions of the docs and techs in the medical facility made me wonder what was really going on. When she died, I saw guilt burn across a doc's face. I started screaming, blaming Ultor. My Dad dragged me back to our apartment and locked me in my room until I stopped yelling. He refused to hear it. But I knew. I just shut up and churned inside." "That night, I decided to rid Mars of Ultor. I had to do it for my Mom, for what they did to her. It began with getting Orion on board. We'd grown up together and I knew I could trust him. And that is where it all began." "As our core group grew, it got harder to meet without arousing suspicion. Orion and I decided to create a smoke screen of athletic competitions between miner barracks. Each barracks could field one or more teams to meet in weekly contests. We submitted a proposal to Gryphon, Ultor's Deputy Administrator. It made my skin crawl to ask him for something, but he quickly approved the idea. A good morale booster is what he thought. It's pretty funny that Ultor is helping cover up our activities." "It was Orion who came up with the name Red Faction for our team. He thought the political sense of "Faction" would have meaning only for us. And the "Red" symbolized that we represented all of Mars. The name clicked with everyone, and Red Faction became the first team to join the new league." "Once the league got underway, we met several times a week for "training" sessions. We couched all our planning in sports terms. This gave a light- hearted feel to a frightening undertaking. Our meetings were also less dangerous because Ultor had to spread its monitoring efforts among the many teams in the competitions." "We all took code names to use within the group. It probably doesn't provide all that much protection, but it makes us feel a little safer. We'll see. Keeping the group small should help too. There are 23 of us now, plus a few probational recruits. Few enough to be fairly certain there are no leaks, but more than enough to rally groups of miners against Ultor when the time comes." "Sometimes it bothers me how much the others look to me for leadership. What if I get captured or killed? I'd hate for everything to fall apart if something happened to me. Orion's the only one with any initiative. Maybe I've been too forceful, but someone had to do it. We'd still be sitting on our butts complaining if I hadn't taken charge." "Last night's action might have gotten the ball rolling. The security goons are freaking out. I heard they dragged some miners off the third shift and beat them. Everything's primed for the rebellion to start. All it needs is a spark." "And once it gets going, we'll be there to lead it. For weeks now, we've been blanketing the barracks with pamphlets condemning Ultor and blaming them for everything wrong on Mars. The writings are signed Eos. I would have preferred to have them from us as a group, from Red Faction, but that would have given us away immediately. Orion also said the miners needed someone to believe in and follow, not another faceless group. Once the rebellion begins, though, everyone's going to know that Red Faction is the driving force behind it. There'll be no more hiding." "We've been stockpiling weapons for months now. We've quietly stolen weapons from a bunch of weapon lockers at guard barracks and posts. We had to break into only the first couple we raided. After that, we found the doors unlocked to every post we tried. The weapon cabinets were unlocked too. It freaked us out the first time it happened. We figured Ultor was on to us and backed off pretty quickly. But when we found the door to another weapons locker open a few nights later, we took some weapons and boxes of ammo and got out fast. The doors have been unlocked every time since. We still have no idea why. We don't know if Ultor's doing it or someone else, but we're going to grab weapons as long as we can. They won't know miners are armed until the bullets are coming out the backs of their skulls." "We've cached the stolen weapons throughout the mines and barracks. When the rebellion starts, Red Faction members will head to the nearest cache and hand out weapons to any miner willing to fight. The security guards are used to bullying unarmed miners; they're in for a big shock." "I don't know what to do about the mercenaries that Masako brought here,though. They're tough, and so is she. We'll make some feints at important installations around the complex, maybe get the mercs dug intodefensive positions. If that doesn't work, we're in trouble. The mercs will slice right through us if they go on the offensive too soon. If we move fast enough, they won't hit us until we've settled with the guards and gotten everyone armed. Our sole advantage is numbers, but I don't want to waste thousands of miners in human wave attacks." "The next few days are going to make or break us. Four years of planning and plotting are either going to pay off or get us all killed. Getting rid of Ultor is the goal for everyone else in Red Faction. But I want more. I want to know who's behind the Plague. And I want them to die." 3: INNOCENTS =========================== MEDICS: Medics can heel you. They are innocents that cure people and refills only your helth to full with a couple of shots. Press action next to the medic if you have a found and the medic will fix it. Medics are swan to heal everyone, including Rebels. Do not show your gun to them otherwise they will get jumpy and hide and not heal you. Holster your weapon while near a medic. TECHNITIONS: Really, these arn't innocnet, because they work for Ultor. They are considered innocents because they don't have a gun. They cower in fright at the sight of one, or even call the guards. When approaching them, if you don't want the guards to come, kill him or holster your weapon. Sometimes they leave medi-kits if you kill them. MINERS: Miners are your friends. They help you out all through the game, from the beginning on the mines, till where you are captured and let out of your cell. They are your friends, so help them. They can also carry weapons, so kill them if you want to grab them. But remember, they are helping you, even though they die in like 2 or 1 shots. GOOD FOLKS: Eos is good, you encounter her actually face to face in the park where you fight Capek and at the end of the game. Hendrix is goo, you encounter him 2 times, once when you are in the Ultor Admin area, and also the other time is near the end of the game. Gryphon, don't kill him, he has information. 4. ENEMIES ========================= ULTOR LIGHT GUARD ================================== These are the very first guards that you come across. They are dumb and only carry the little pistol, which can do some damage, but not really much. They have no armour, and little health. Afew shots should kill them. These guards are only in the start of the game. RIOT GUARD ======================== These guys can be a nuiscense sometimes. They only carry the control battons, which can pack a serious punch. Just back away from them while shooting to kil them and avoid the swing of the batton. Don't waste all your heavy weapon ammo on them though, cos they only carry the control batton batteries. ULTOR NORMAL GUARD ============================= These are all the guards you encounter in the middle of the game, for example, where you have to snatch gryphon and lots of over places as well. they caryy any medium weapon, such as a Sub-machine gun, Assault Rifle, Shotgun and all the other weapons. Just quickly shoot them before you take damage from their weapons. TURRETS =================== there are two types of turrets, one is the one that is controled by the enemies from behind who are shooting from it, and the other one is on the roof shooting down at you. The first one, just shoot the guard behind the turret and you can control it. The one on the ceiling, shoot it down with the pistol. CREATURES ====================== Seriously, these can be annoying for alot of reasons: 1) They are very fast, almost as fast as you can run back, maybe just abit slower. 2) They can attack in packs, sometimes in 2. 3) They don't carry ammo, so you are wasting ammo on them. Just shoot them while moving back to kill them. Quite easy, but there are 3 types of them. 1)Little ones, 2 shots. 2) Big ones, 3 - 4 shots 3) Worms, alot of shots. NORMAL MERC ===================== These are basic mercs you encounter in the later stages of the game. They carry any weapon that isn't explosive (Excluding the railgun) They pack weapons such as flamtherowers, assaultrifle, heavy machine guns. Just use your better weapons such as the precision rifle, assault rifle on them. HEAVY MERC =================== These guys are a pain, they carry Rocket Launchers, Railguns and Fusion Rocket Launchers. they are a real pain. Starfe to miss the railgun bullet, and jump and strafe to avoid the rocket launcher. With the fusion rocket launcher, haul ass out of where you are if one is fired. Use your best weapons such as a Precision rifle to destory them. 5: VEHICLES All Terain Vehicle Called an A.T.V, this is a very common vehicle found throughout the game. it has good enough speed, and comes with an extra bonus, a mounted machine-gun on the back. There's one catch, you can shoot the machine gun and drive at the same time. Maybe you will want to drive somewhere, and then where there are enemies, quickly get off driving and to the back and start firing the machine-gun. Otherwise, you might want to get someone to drive for you. This can also be used for running over people as well. Armoured Personell Carrier An A.P.C as I call it. The only time I can remember using this vehicle is near the end of the game. IT is fast enough to drive, has great armour, and also has a machine-gun that you can use with it as well. Like most heavy machine-guns, it really isn't lock on, but the range is excellent, worthy of mention. Also another great feature about it is that you can run over people and hear the scream of death. MWHAHAHAHAH! A reasonably good vehicle, I guess. Submarine Arck, a real basic vehicle, everyone should know what this is. It can only go underwater, and can be found around the place in the game. Afew places I know off hand are in Capek's zoo, and also at the submarine bya near the power plant. It only loads missiles, but they are very good. They heat seek, whcih means that they lock on to the target, and then hit and cause alot of damage. Don't waste bullets though, otherwise you might find yourself against a big sub with heat seeking missiles and you have none left. If thats the case, go past it, dodging the bullets. Aesir Fighter Soory, I don't know if thats the right spelling, but anyway, this is my favourite vehicle in the game. It is fast, very very fast. It is great for dodging the Ultor "Already off-line" shots they fire. it has two types of weapons it uses. Thats another great thing about this, it carry's normal machine gun bullets, like the Armoured Personell Carrier, and also carries "Torpedos" that heat seek and lock on. A great weapon. Off hand, you can find this vehicle at the very end of the game, and also near where you get Gryphon as well, he hops in with you. Driller Slow, very slow. The slowest vehicle in the game, but what can you expect from a driller. This is designed for mining, so It's ment for drilling holes in the ground, or into walls. Play around with Geo Mod technology by destroying some of the walls. This has excellent armour, and you can also drill some holes in the Ultor guard's heads. The only place on of these is is in the mines. Look to the left as you come into one of the mine rooms with a ramp and platform. You can drive and kill some guards with the driller. ======================================================================= #################### GAME WALKTHROUGH ################################# ======================================================================= You start off in the mines, after a workshift. At the start, you are currently still a normal miner, obeying orders and living in crap conditions. You have no weapon also. Run foward and keep going. Someone will say "C'mon Parker, shifts ended". Head dwon to where the Ultor Guard is harrassing the other miner. Stop and watch the show. After awhile, the miner will punch out the Ultor giard, and is then shot from behind. This is where all the fighting starts. Grab the control batton off the dead ulotr guard and head to the left abit so you are inside the tunnel place which is just back abit. The other guards have guns, so you need to lure 1 of them to kill them so you can gte there gun. Saty in here and get someone when they come for you. If the guard doesn't come, head up towards the dead miner and kill the guard and take his Pistol, then equip it. Keep going up, and to the left. There are alot of paths leading all over the place here, and this walkthrough only tells you the way out, not what is down all of the paths and things like that. There will be a guard by the door, use your pistol and kill him. Walk up to the door, passing all the dead miners on the way. Let the door open for you. Abit up on your right you will see a robot thing, it will not harm you, so just let it go. Don't bother about trying to kill it. Walk up all the way through the mines, ignoring all paths leading off of this main one. Keep walking up and a voice will say something about security required. Guards will pop out from in-front of you, so kill them. Run up and kill the rest and grab the ammo. Eos will pop in and talk to you. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& EOS: "Miners, this is Eos, leader of the Red Faction. Our time has come. Workers in mine M4 have started the rebellion and are dying for you as we speak!" &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& When you find a sign saying "Guard Station" take the path on the left and go in here for some remote charges and some other ammunition can be found. Go back to the main path and head up and kill the Ultor Guard. Keep going up towards the guard station. So you should be going towards the guard station away from the M4 active mine. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& EOS: "Find the Red Faction members among you. Join us and strike back against Ultor. Together we can..." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& When you reach the T intersection part, head right. A miner will be there, help him out if you can. If not, then too bad, it doesn't affect the storyline in any way. If you do rescue him, follow him up. He will probably die though. Continue up to the door, and then you will encounter 3 guards. Take out the one closest to you first, followed by the other two. Then go up and steal their weapons and ammunition. The game will load the next bit once you get open the door. Two snipers are on the part ahead of you, one with a pistol, and one with a rocket launcher. Don't bother about killing them from far away, just jump down into the water. You wont lose health/armour. Saty in the water so they can't shoot you, then flank them from the right side. Go up the right side of the cliff face and kill both of the guards. If your lucky, the rocket launcher guy will kill the other guard for you with his rockets. Go up the cliff and kill them both. Garb hte guy's rocket launcher and his ammo, and head to the door. Let it open and head up towards "Ore Proccessing". Kill the guards along your way. Keep heading up and you will come to a section with two statue things on the right and your upper left. Afew guards are on each one, so take them all out. Grab all the health kits, ammo and things like that on your way in this area. There is alot of it lying around. Take the door out which is the opposite way to where you came in. Head up to driller maintenance killing the guards along the way. Go to the door and you will encounter another section like you did before. Kill all the guards. Look to the left and you will find a mining machine thingy. Drive it if you want to, I'm not sure if you can kill people with it, as I hjave actually not tried to drive it up killing the people. There is an Envirosuit if your playing on easy under the statue thingy with the legs and the ramp leading up to it where afew guards were. Collect it if you need it. Head to the door which is the way out. Keep heading up the mines, and you will see a guard with a bazooka, and also some laser beams. Kill the guard and go up here. Go to your left and go through the door to get past the lasers. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& EOS: "Remember every dead miner, every injustice and strike back. The Red Faction will lead you to freedom." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Kill the guard on your left, and run up through the exit. Some more guards might come in through the door, or some might be on your left, whichever way, kill them. If you go to the right, the door there is basically jammed and there is no way past that, Instead, take the door just foward of you. Kill the guard in this narrow section. Wait for the game to load. Heandrix will then send you a message. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "Parker, you don't know me but my names Hendrix and i want to help you. I'm a security techition for Ultor, I have my own reasons for hating them and wanting to help you. Iv'e been watching the riots on security monitors. your the only miner from M4 to make it this far. Be careful parker, Ultor is rushing forces in to block the mines and keep the rebellion from spreading." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Listen to it before going on. Go up to the wire walking section. If you look below, you will notice a haevily armoured vehicle with afew guard surrounding it. Don't worry about it and head to the left. A the end of the wire walking section, it will go narrow again. Follow the path down. Head all the way down, and kill thew few guards that are here. A note will come from one of Ultor's personell about the mine being sealed. Don't worry abou the time limit thingy. Look over to your left to find an elevator. if the elevator isn't down, then easily go through the door and kill afew guards and then come back. DOn't worry about going to the vehicle and trying to fight it. Press the button on the elevator, and you are now out of the mines. Just wait as the elevator takes it's time to get to the top. Turn to the door. You will enter the last little bits of the mine. Walk foward to see a miner be put on fire. Run back abit so that the flame doesn't catch onto you. Head up into the open and kill all the guards there. Collect all of the ammo that is lying around ready for the taking. Mine M4 has been sealed. Walki into the control booth or whatever section and grab yourself the Riot Shield, and afew other weapons. Press the switch that is on the wall to open the doors. Run through the doors, kill the guard and collect his ammo or whatever he left behind. Press the next switch on the door to open it, and quickly shoot the next guard. Press the next switch on the door, and wait for the game to load. There are alot of room here. The first and last on the right lead to stairs. If you go into the door on the left, it contains a batroom where you can ambush an ultor guard in the toilet. You mean prick! Then you will be flooded with about 5 guys, so kill them all and grab some ammo to refill on what you used. Then head to the middle room across from you and grab some ammo in the storage room and kill the Ultor Guard. If you go up the stairs, you will be on the walkway which you can take right into the next section. But it is just as easier to take the door that would be opposite you when you first come into this area, just after the locked door and when it loads. See 2 paragraphs ago. So go through that door. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "If I can reach someone in the Red Faction, I'll ask how you can link up with them. I'll let you know." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& On the left will be a turret. If you want to have some fun, then go up to it and use it by pressing the use button. Enemies usually come running in. If they do, then kill them all. Ammunition for the turret is displayed in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Too many enemies will come and it may get abit to complicated and you will get killed. Be helpful and then go in the room on the right. A miner will be locked up in the cage. Grab the key-card off the desk, and go up to the lock and open the door for him. Listen toi what he says in the mean time. Follow him to the right, and go through the door that says elevator maintenence. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "That elevator's been destroyed. You'll have to find another way up. I think I can still get you to the docking bay, Parker." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Head to the door of this part that leads into the big open part. Have your gun handy and ready to shoot. Open the oor and there will most likely be guards in all of this area. If so, kill them. If not, then consider yourself lucky. Once everyone is killed, then head to the door on your right, then one with the "Cafetiria" sign above it. If you are hurting, then head to the left. Go into the room and a medic will be there. Make sure you holster your gun before going in there, otherwise the medic will crouch in fear. If he does this, exit the room and then re-enter it with your weapon holstered. Head to the right when you came out of the door into the cafetirria. Head up to see a miner be shot. Head left around the corner, kill the guard. Be prepared for whats coming on your left. Open the door with your gun ready, preparing to fight. Afew guards will attack when you open the door. Strafe and lock-on shoot to kill them. If you need to reload, then pull back and let the door close so no-one can shoot you. Make sure you collect the medi kits and envirosuit in here because you will most likely need it. Collect all the ammo as well and you will hear a voice over saying that you should put down your weapons. Head out the door into the kitchen area. To the left of the tabel will be a vent. Crouch down into it. Follow the vent all the way around until the loading screen appears. Head out of the vent, and go to the right. The left is a dead end. Open the door, and go into the next room. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "Theres a back route into the docking bay up ahead, if it's not blocked." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Head through the door ahead, hear the voice over by hendrix above and follow the small path along. At the very end of the narrow path, there will be a ladder to the left, go up it. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "The escaping miners came this way too. The eleveators ahead were destroyed in the fighting, You'll have to climb up." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Kill the ultor guard that is just up ahead. look up and shoot. Go to the ladder, look up it and then use the left d-pad and go up. After awhile, you will enetually get to a point where guard shoots at you. When this happens, turn around and then kill him. You see where he was? Thats where you have to jump to. Move right onto the little platform, then navigate your way to the door. Now you will see another ladder. Get yourself in position, look up, and then jump across to the ladder. You will hopefully hang onto it. Keep heading up to the top. Near the top, look right into the brightly opened room and then kill the two guards. Head onto the room, follow the path around and wait for the game to load. Go around to the door taht says L- 3 on it. It will be locked, so then head back and on the left will be a litle door, open it, and go up the ladder and kill the guard. Open the door by pressing the button on the control pannel thing. The L- 3 door will then open. Jump down through the glass and walk towards the door and it will open. Kill the guard who runs around the corner. There will be sandbags, kill the guards mounted behind them and turn the corner to the door. Let it open, to the right of this door is some ammunition. Garb it, because you will probably need it. The next bit is a real warzone. Kill the guy foward of you up high as he runs past. The alarm will be sounding, but that makes no difference really. Where the reception part there is a guard with a shotgun, eliminate him first of all. Then head up the stiars and go right. Kill the guard and follow the corridor along. Open the door at the end and be ready to kill. Two guards will pop out. Once they are dead, head up to the next door and wait for the game to load. Head up over the stairs and hear the voice over by Ultor. There is a turret in the section on your right, ignore it for now. Head up, and then go around the building into the tram. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "The Trams arn't running anymore, Parker. Ultor's cutting off the miners every way possible." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Press use to open the crates and get the ammunition. The doors will close and a voice over from Ultor will come. Don't worry about it, Hendrix will hack the doors open. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "Don't panic Parker, I should be able to hack the doors open in a minute or so. Ok, now you can panic, there are guard coming." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Look out the window to your left, and kill the guards and alos the turret on the roof unless you killed it before. turn out the left window as well and just lay down cover fire. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDIRX: "Hold on, Iv'e almost got it....there." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& The doors will be open, go out of the tram and kill everyone. Head back into the main section with 3 doors leading off of it. Then turn left into the part with the turret. The turret is pretty much a waste of ammo to destroy, so kill the guy who is using the turret. Security alert will come up again. Turn around and kill the guards that come. Go back and grab their ammo. Anyway, keep going up to the stairs and open the door that awaits at the end. Look left and kill the two guards up the top of the stairs. Head up to the elevator and press the button for it to open. Go inside and press the button. Something funny happened to me here, the elevator close on the guys head. Wait wait and keep on waiting until the elevator reaches the top and you hear a ping. insd the exit, shoot the guard and hear the voice over. Turn to the right and kill the poor guard making a cup of coffee. He's drinking on set! If your injured by health, go into the medical room and go to the medic with your gun holstered. He will heal your health. DO a U turn type thing out of the medics room and go down the path. Keep heading down the path, and the game will load the next part. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "Hurry Parker, the miners are at the shuttle." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Keep on heading around the path, all the way around. You will get to a part above the docking bay, the door will close and the shuttle will take off from below, leaving you behind. LOOK OUT THE WINDOW TO YOUR LEFT. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENNDRIX: "There they go, if only you'd been faster." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Watch the shuttle take off, and watch what happens next. Yup, thats right, bang. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "Maybe being slow isn't such a bad thing." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Kill the guard where the door opens to. Turn right at the end, killing all the guards. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "That expolosion blew out the docking bay door. Before you can enter, you need to activate the emgency doors." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& So go into the cotrol room ahead. Press the button and activate the door. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "That did it. Once the docking bay's pressurized, the containment door will retract." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Then go back to the door that need to be opened, which will be on your right now. Hop in the elevator and press the button on it to take you dwon to where the shuttle was. Kill the few guards down here and go to the door that is on your left. Open the door, kill the guards and turn to the right and the game will load. Press the button on the elevator. face the way that you ame onto the elevator from and get off that same way. Inside the shuttle is some ammunition and health/amrmour. Just incase you didn't know, there are missile defence systems that shoot down ay shuttle that leaves mars, so you can't go just yet. Get back onto the main path, go in the door that is opposite to the one you came out of. Open it up and kill the guard. Run up and ignore all of those side paths that temp you to open them. Shoot the turret off the roof. Turn the corner left and walk across the little walk. Be ready with a rocket launcher. Trust me, you will need to fight a big Combot. It will appear behind the pillar straight in front of you. Hide behind the pillar and wait for it to appear. It will probably destory the pillar and take health away from itself at the same time. Stupid thing. Just keep pounding it with Rocket Launcher missiles. If you run out, get it down with small weapons fire. Once it is dead, head to the door on the right, not the big one, but the little puny one. Go up the ladder, and kill the guards up here. Go around and go into the control room. Watch out for the guard with the control batton. Kill him, go in the room and press the button on the left. Jump down, and go through the door. Go to the next door and the game will load the next part. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "The elevatore ahead should take you down to level N-17, fairly close to the Red Faction base." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Hop on the elevator and press the button to go down. Stay on it. When it starts to make crazy noises, still stay on it, but look for a little opening where you can see a door. Keep pressing foward so that as soon as the elevator falls, you will fall into the section by the door. get off and watch the elevaotr plummet into the core of mars. Ope the door, shoot the guard straight in front of you. Go around on a shooting rampage, killing everyone that you come across who is EVIL. Walk in the control room section and grab some ammunition and other stuff. There is also a Storage Shed across from where the control room or whatever was. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& EOS: "If you can stay alive until we fight back up, we will find you." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Head to the door outta here, and press the button. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "The door is sealed, blast around it if you can." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Ahh, ya gotta love Geo Mod. Seriously, this makes the game so cool and better than other games. Pull out all of those remote charges you obtained from the storage shed, I guess this is why they put them in there. Go to the dirt wall next to the door, and throw a remote charge, stand back, and detonate it. It will blow a hole in the wall. Keep blowing holes in the wall until you get through the other side.if you wont fit through the hole, put a remote charge in the spot tht is too small and it shall widen for you. Keep blowing around it, and gte out the other side. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "I'm trying to override the doors curcuitry to force it open for you, Parker. give me a minute..." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Too late Hendrix, too late. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& EOS: "There are squads of miners somewhere ahead of you, Parker. Try to link up with them." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Head down deep into the mines. Keep going and wait for the game to load. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "Careful down there Parker, this mine section was abandoned years ago and it's none too stable." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Took me awhile to figure out, because I thought you would die, but anyway, jump down into the water below. It may not look like water from above, but it is. Jump dwon, turn right. At the end, take the path up. Folow the path with the lights to the top. You will eventaully come to a guard, kill him. Look down and kill the two guards shooting at you, so give em a taste of it back and kill them. Jump down to where they were, garb the ammo and then also go down into the mines. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "There are more groups of miners moving ahead of you. Eos must be after something importent." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Keep heading down into the mies, when you reach the door, the game will load th next part. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& EOS: "Parker, we need your help. We're trying to knock out an Ultor geothermal power plant in this sector. If the powers knocked out, we can launch a major attack. But our squads are running into stiff resistance. If you can help them take out the power plant, I can send more miners up to join you." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& There has been a little cave in. Avoid the rocks and go to the right. Go up into the open area, and hear afew miners. Use the ramps and get to the top of this part, and take the path around into a hallway type part. Loading. Trun left at the end, and pull out your gun ready to fight. Shoot all the guards here. You will see a little path above you. Jump across to the rocks and jump on this bit of wood (Or metal). Jump down into the middle of this thing and go down ionto the vents. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& EOS: "Parker! One of my squads is pinned down inside the ventialltion system. Can you help them out?" &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Jump dwon into the next vent, and then come out at the end. Kill the two gards here and go up top to the controls and flick the switch. Jump down into the ore basket. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "There should be a ventillation opening in here that'll take you to the miners I spotted." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Look and see the ventillation opening. Jump to where the fan thing is and then crawl and move under the blades. Move through the ventillation system and then let the game load. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "Theres a route past the old rock crusher that should get you to the power plant parker." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Hop out of the ventialltion to hear all the shooting. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& EOS: "Parker? I've lost contact with everyone else up there. I think you're all we have left." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Look up and kill the guards above you. If you can't get a clean shot, then don't worry about it. Head up the ladder. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& EOS: "Until the power's cut to ultor's montioring system, they knwo every move we make. We're getting down. I hope you can do it Parker." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Go up the next ladder. The vent on your left leads way back, so don't go through there. Continue up the ladder, to the top. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& EOS: "Until the power is cut to Ultor's Monitoring systems, they know every move we make, where getting mowed down parker, hope you can do it." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Just before the next ladder, you will find a switch on the wall while on the catwalk. Press it quickly, and then scamper up the ladder real quick. Get up top near the fans, and then kill the guard up top and then jump on to one of the fan blades that are closest to the left. You will also see a ladder on the left, you need to jump over to that using the fan blades. Get on one of the blades and then wait until they move. Either jump onto the ladder or jump straight onto where the ventualltion thingy is, but that will reduce your helth, so I say just jump and hang onto the ladder and go to the ventillation opening. At no time fall all the way down. You will just keep on falling, and the eventually die. Thats bad. Very bad. Crawl, and then move foward past the blades of the van at the opening of the ventialltion shaft, which do nothing if they hit you anyway. Keep moving up through the vent, and killing the guards when they come. When you get out, you will see like an Ore crusher. Pull out your weapons and then start shooting the few guards down here. Where you need to go is to the left, through that tunnel, but first scamper around here and grab the medikits, armour and ammo that are lying around. Then head through the tunnel. Kill the guards along your way. You will now eventualy come to a bit wit two little paths hanging over the big pit which is your death if you fall. It looks impossible to jump, but there is a trick. First kill all the guards on the other side to make your job easier. Once they are all inialated (sp?), get yourself onto the little ledge sticking out. Take a big run up, then jump right from the ledge, but instead you are aiming to get onto the rocks beneath so that you can climb up. Jump across to the rocks, and then just press foward and get up. You made it. Go through the door to the checkpoint. For all of you wondering how far complete of the game you are, I will estimate amount: %20 - %30, somewhere in there. Go through the door, and wait for the game to load once you approach it. Walk down the stairs, avoid the steam and kill the guards. When you come to the snadbags section, pop out from the corner and then quickly shoot the guy. Another guy will likely come in, so shoot him as well. Go through the door, and you will come to the turret part. Kill both guards, one in the open, and usually the other guard is using the turret but oviously sucks at aiming. Once you kill both guards, you can have some fun with the turret. Gain control of it by pressing the use button. Then start firing away as the enmies come. Turn through the door once your done, and then start your guns balzing. Kill all guards in here. target the closest ones first and then the ones that pose the most threat. Back away and let the door close if you nned to reload or just need a break. Then come out blazing. Once all are dead, you can use Geo Mod technology to blow a hole in the wall at the same space Parker did in the Demo movie. The sign that says something about tell your friends Ultor is the place to work. Inside the control room is just some ammo from that guard you killed, and also some health and armour. This time me nice and use the door. When you open the door, you will see a hatch to your left, this way is just a dead end, it just leads to Ultor workers who are innocent and will cower at the sight of your gun. You can go down threre and kill them if you want. Then return to the main door which will be on your right as you come out of the door from the control booth. Open it, walk down the stairs. Turn to the left and then kill the guards hiding behind the sandbags. Eliminate the guards, and then turn the corner right. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& EOS: "Hendrix says you have made it into the geothermal plant. There are 5 facillities you need to sabotage - Turbines, Water Control, water reclamation, lava control and the main controls." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Turn the corner left to wards the two signs that say "Lava Control" and also "Water Control" and then turn left to where the sign says Lava Control. This will be the first thing that you are going to sabotage. Run down into the room. You will be able to hear the lava bubbles. Move through the little caging and turn left and go to the valave. Press the use button to press the valve and over flow the lava. Then go back to the caging, go back out the door. Turn left at the T section towards "Water Control", open the door and then move along to the right side of the oath and eliminate the guard down below. Then move back left along the path and take the ladder down near the water. Flip the switch by the Ultor Employee and then go back up the ladder while the screen is shaking. Once your at the top, kill the guards that are at the door. Then exit the door while collecting all there ammo. take the path back and turn left at the end. Water control and lava control have both been sabotaged. Only Turbines, Water Reclemation and Main Controls left to sabotage. Run down the ramp, and then turn right and kill the guards. Keep going up killing the fools and then turn into the turbine room that is on your left. Head to the back of the big tank and press the use button to move the valve. Go back to the door, turn left. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& EOS: "The tech in the main control room is on our side. Once you've sabotaged the other 4 systems, get in there and he will know what to do." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Keep heading around, and then head left to the "Wtaer Reclemation". &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDIRX: "Destroy both pump stations, that'll force even more water into the system." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Do exactly what Hendrix said. Pull out a remote charge and then first throw one on the pump station directly in front of you from the door entering this rea. The next one is on the left. Throw one and detonate them on both of them. Now from the door, keep on heading up. This will lead you into the "Main Controls" When you enter, be prepared for a little fight. Take out the guards as the come. OPnce they are all dead, head down the ramp to the tech. Move around to the button, and you have to press it at the same time he presses the other one. I just kept on pressing use. Press it at the same time. Once that is doen, the screen will blur as everything is destoryed. the tech will give you a message saying that you should take the sub bay out. So then go out the door, and go through the door on thr right that was closed before and says restricted acces on the side. Go through that door, and take the ramp all the way down and then open the door to the sub bay. Turn left and kill all the guards here. The door to the control room wont open, so then use geo mod technology to your advantage. Get a remopte charge and place one on the wall. Then blow it up, and half of the wall will be blown up. When inside, pres the button and the sub-marine will be lifted. Exit the control room, and then jump down into the water. Press the use button by the Sub marine to get in it. Now move foward following the lights. When you come to another sub-marine, shoot missiles at them and destroy them. The missiles you shoot are heat seeking, which means that they are lock on and when you fire one, it will home in on the enemy. Also, the enemy subs contain the smae types of missiles, but all of your armour in the vehicle shouldn't be any trouble. Just keep following the lights. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& EOS: "Ultor has an Underwater lab somewhere down there. If you can get in, Iv'e got a job for you." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Go inside the little cavern bit, and kill the enemy sub-marine. Go inside with your sub, and get to the bit with the big open water area. Park your sub here, get out by pressing the use button and then start using your best weapons now. You will know now in a minute. Get up the ladder, out of the water and kill the guards with any of your weapons you please. Turn the conrer, and go upthe ladder. Garb yourself some medical kits and armour whilst you hear the employee's talk. Go into the toilet with your gun and ambush the guard and take his weapon. Go back down once you have equipped yourself and then go down the next hatch. Turn right, and then kill the guards and walk up to the door. You will now be at a track sort of thing. Equip a good weapon and the tram thing will come straight for you with enemies on. Go straight for it, killing the enemies on it. Jump onto it, and press the button to take it to the other end. Kil the guard that comes running out and then go into the hallway path to the left of the stairs to find a miner. He will give you instructions and tips on stealth. Here are some tips for stealth: - Using stealth is quite easy, just move around normaly, but make sure the rest of the things below are done - Always holster your weapon, enemies can see weapons from far away, plsu it looks bad when your confronting a normal employee who doesn't know who you are, they will set off the alarm - Enemies can only see directly in front of them. They can't see to the to the left or right of them, unless you do the last thing - Steer the camera away from people, in other words, do not look directly at people, or bump into people at all - Hide any body you have to kill, press use to pick it up, and use again to throw it on an open part - If you do want to kill someone, make it quick and silent, equip the silencer and shoot fast before they can get away - Do not press alarms yourself, even if you do, they will still come after you, even if you set the alarm off - Avoid detection, if you are detected, then easily reload your game at your last point, so save regualrly - If you feel you have made a big achievement getting past something, then save it, but never save if you are detected. - Innocents don't know who you are, only the guys with guns really know who you are, don't hide from them - Memorise enemies paths so that you know where you go and then choose a good path to get around them. Anyway, learn all of those tips, and the next part will be so easy. First, go up the stairs. Open the door to the Admin area of the Ultor Lobby. You can look around, but make sure no guards see you directly, or make sure you don't do something wrong. Turn right, and go up the stairs that are there. You will be on the top floor of the first floor. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& EOS: "Remember parker, we want Gryphon Alive. Miners are dying of the plague down here. If gryphon knows anything about it, we have to get it out of him." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "Gryphons office is on the third floor of the administration area, Parker." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& If a guard is patrolling, hide in one of the rooms and look out the door. Remember, guards cannot see to the left or right of them (Not very far actually), they are dumb. Wait to a guard walks past, and then sneak past. Walk down the stairs at the end. Look to your left, and there will be a door, this is where you want to go, unfortuanetly there is a gurad patrolling. Wait to the guard walks off, then go through the door. You will be in a office area now, with barriers and all. Sneak around to the right, avoid the guard and then run to the back where the elevator is. Watch out for the guards, as they come past. If they do decide to come past, then hide in one of the offices until they go past you, and then make a dash for the elevator all the way at the back. Press the button on the elevator and go up. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "Take the lower hallway to the left, I have a suprise for you, but hurry." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Do what Hendrix syays. Move up, and go past the stairs, stay on the ground floor. Move up, and stay close to the wall and allow the two guards to pass each other. Once they both pass, follow the guy to the left. Then follow him around the corner. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "Take the door on the left." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Go in the door on the left. There, sitting in the chair will be Hendrix. He doesn't say much, all he says is: "Hi parker, just wanted to see you in person. I have to stay here, where I can do the most good." Go back out the door, and let the guard pass once again. Turn right at the corner. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& EOS: "parker, do you have Gryphon yet? I'm sending a squad down there to meet you and bring Gryphon down here." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Head left for the elevator. Press the button to go up in the elevator, wait for the doors to open, and the game will load, be patient. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "This is the executive land. Be extra careful in here, security is very tight." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Quickly hide near the wall and flower plant to the left, as one guard will walk around the corner. When he is gone, go around the conrer and to the left, so you will go up the stairs. A guard shoould be patrolling, if so, go in the first room on your left. Head to the right in this room and grab yourself some more pistol ammo from the storage room. Now, just in case, from the storage room, aim in fine aim mode, which is up, and then shoot the guy in the head with the silencer on. Take his medikit if you wish. Go back out the door, wait for the guard to pass you, and then jump over the barricade which is foward of you. Turn left, and you will see one guard walking along. When he is looking nearly at you, move up to the wall. When he goes back right, follow him along. Stick to the wall while going right. Stay close to the wall and the guy wont see you. Ah, now you are in the next section. Head to the left and go into the women's toilets. yes thats right, the WOMENS toilets. Volition didn't put any sex scenes in, so don't give your hopes up. Stay in the back of one of the cubicals and then a guard will come in saying that you are stupid, kill him. Gryphons office is on the left as you come out of the office. Look for the deputy aminidtrator sign by the door. Walk in, don't worry about the secretery. Go straight for the door, go straight through. Trigger the cut-scene. Gryphon has information to give to Eos, you have to get him to the squad. Move out of his room to the right. Lead down the hall, avoiding the guards. Then take the lower of the two guards. Sart a fight if you want to now, as this is the last part of undercover. Kill the guards and take the lower level. Gryphon will follow you soon enough, and then take the path to the right and then this will exit into a storage room. In the storage room, grab all the ammo and things in here. There is a shotgun I think, and some pistol ammo and an envirosuit. Grab them all, you aint undercover any more, and you can carry armour and more ammunition. Turn and push the button on the door just by you. It doesn't matter if Gryphon has or hasn't followed you, he will be ahead of you. Turn out of this section, to the left and then into the caves section. There Gryphon will be. You will see lasers up ahead. There is an easy way around them. Go up to Gryphon, and then he will wave you through the lasers. Get your gun out, which you should have out already. Walk up through the lasers checkpoint, and then kill all the guards in this area. Collect all of the ammo. To the left, there is a little control centre I guess, press the button to open the door like thing, and then take the ladder up. Kill the guard in here and then press both of the buttons, in no particular order to get rid of the lasers. Go through the checkpoint and then into the bot repair shop. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "This guys playing some serious angle, pakrer. Don't let your guard down." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "Your in the bot repair shop now, parker." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Go through the door, into the little section of caves and then into the second part of the bot repair shop. Go in, then turn left and eliminate all the guards around you. Go out the door at the other side. Now, when you come the warehouse section, stay back and kill the guartds in front of youfirst. Then turn left and eliminate the next guards here. Run to the elevator and press the button near the wall to make it comr down. Be ready for a fight, kill both guards on the elevator. Take the elevator up to the top. Ok, once your open there, go over to the control panel and press the button on it to open the door. Go through the door that just opened, and then go through into the next section by opening the door. There are about 3 guards in here, one stragiht haead of you, the other one is ahead of you on the catwalk above and the last one is above you maybe to the left as you come in, on the catwalk. Kil them all. Run up and collect the shotgun ammo they all will probably leave for you. Run over to just about under the ramp leading up, actaully go to the left of it. Gryphon will say that there is a secret door over here, and unlocks it. Go through the door, and then keep going up and a cut-scene will kick in. Gryphon Tries to open the door. Only to be fires openn by ceiling turrets and afew guards. Looks like they hate him as well now. He says you have to blast through it, press the button next to the door, and viola! it opens. The ceiling turrets can't get to you yet, because the bit above the door is in the way. Focus on one with the pistol, then about 3 bullets will take it down. Then aim and kill the other turret mounted on the ceiling. One to the left, one to the right. Once they are both gotten rid of, you need to eliminate the guard in the control section. He can sometimes hide and you hit the wall, to avoid this, jump and shoot in, or if you wish, use geo mod and kill him by the explosion. Sometimes the path to the left of the control room is open. If not, there will be a barrier there. To get it up, blow a hole in the control room wall and then hop in via that hole. To the right will be switches and also a meical pack. Press the switch to open the barrier to let Gryphon through. Hit the same switch to open the other side. It will open and the barrier just by Gryphon will close again. Run through to the elevator with Gryphon and then press the button to go down. You will go down the elevator, and guards will be evrywhere. You will also see a Aesir fighter. Stay back at first and avoid the fire from the enemy. Then once the eleavtor has stopped, head straight for the fighter. Once you are in it, kill everyone around you with the machine gun. Then head up. All the way up until you go out the hatch thing. Move the Aesir fighter, and keep on going. Destory the sub-marine thingy that approaches, and follow the lights. Keep destorying all of the fighters as they appear. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDIRX: "Parker, you need to clear this area before you can land." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Do exactly what Hendrix tells you to do. If yiou have some heat seeking missiles left, use them; Otherwise they will be wasted. Finish off everyone here with the machineguns and your missiles. Once everyone is dead here, I'm pretty sure that the fihgter lands automatically. If not, then just approach the landing pad. If not then, search the area for more guards. Once you have landed, do not go up the elevator yet. Head back out to where the big fight just was, and then grab all the bazooka ammo lying around. ALso in the middle, there is a room that has alot of ammo, a health and a medical kit. Head back to the elavtor and press the button with you and Gryphon inside and it will go up. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "This is Ultor's main Trash Disposal Faciltity, Pakrer." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Follow Gryphon as he heads to the left. He will get to the controls. Then head back around the corner and to the door. Wait for a second and you will hear a bot. Run back to a safe hiding spot, actually go down where the disposla pit is. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "Thats an Ultor supression Combot, I didn't know they had any on mars." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Is that the first time Hendrix has said something without mentioning Parker? Anyway, use your best weapons here against the bot. He will not die by them, but you need to damage the bot. Pull out a weapon, and then starfe and shoot and then go backto hiding. the bot will make a funny noise if you get a good hit. Keep hitting the bot with the weapons that you have got. Once it is damaged enough, Hendirx will jump in with a message for you: &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "You need to lure the bot to the Disposal pit and open it from the control room, Parker." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Just try and get the bot onto the thing that moves. Once it is on there, just run up to the control room via the ladder near the disposal pit. Hopefully, the bot will be on it. If so, press the button to the disposal pit and the bot will fall down into the pit, and of course, die. Once it is killed, a cut-scene will kick in. Parker will admire his work, while Gryphon doesn't admire it. The attack team from Eos comes up and takes the weasel. Open the disposal pit after the cutscene, and then jump onto the ladder and go down. Go onto the ladder in the disposla pit before it closes and take it down to the vent. Ok, you have two chocies here, go undercover, or don't go undercover, it's up to you. My choice would be no, because you lose all your weapons and will probably get seen anyway. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& EOS: "Parker, your not far from ultor's science and medical labs." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "The labs are heavily guarded and there and capek is a very nasty creature. There's a vent that leads to the labs, but your not going to like it, it's inside the disposal pit." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& If you chose my way and want to attack, then defenetly use my method that I listed above and go down the first vent. If you want to do the undercover crap, then keep going foward and go down the second vent when the doctor leaves. Basic rules for stealth can be found in the Tips section, but for all those lazy people, I will list them here: - Using stealth is quite easy, just move around normaly, but make sure the rest of the things below are done - Always holster your weapon, enemies can see weapons from far away, plsu it looks bad when your confronting a normal employee who doesn't know who you are, they will set off the alarm - Enemies can only see directly in front of them. They can't see to the to the left or right of them, unless you do the last thing - Steer the camera away from people, in other words, do not look directly at people, or bump into people at all - Hide any body you have to kill, press use to pick it up, and use again to throw it on an open part - If you do want to kill someone, make it quick and silent, equip the silencer and shoot fast before they can get away - Do not press alarms yourself, even if you do, they will still come after you, even if you set the alarm off - Avoid detection, if you are detected, then easily reload your game at your last point, so save regualrly - If you feel you have made a big achievement getting past something, then save it, but never save if you are detected. - Innocents don't know who you are, only the guys with guns really know who you are, don't hide from them - Memorise enemies paths so that you know where you go and then choose a good path to get around them. Once again i will say that i preffer all out attack as you don't lose all your weapons. Make your way to the administaration are witht he medics and the doctors. Guards may be patrolling, either shoot them and start a war or just lay off. If you are still in the miner suit, they will defenetly see you and probably attack, but since you still have all the ammo left, then feel free to kill them and garb their ammo. Head to this area, and then turn left through a door. Start picking off all the enemies as they come charging for you. The alarm will most likely go off, but you don't need to give a shit about it anyway. Head all the way down ignoring all the paths that lead off. Take the door down at the end, follow the steps down and the game will load the next part. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& EOS: "Parker, Gryphon has told us more than we ever wanted to know about the plague. You have to grab capek, he's the key to the whole thing." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Kill the guards in this area, and then move to the door on the left. The door will open for you, how spectacular. When it opens, head up the ladder. Kill the guards at the top and then take the door left all the way along the top of the catwalk stuff. Follow this catwalk stuff all the way along. Afew guards will appear, but being you, you can easily kill them with afew pistol shots. Move all the way along to the end. You could have taken the bottom path, but I preffered the catwalk as looking up and shooting can sometimes be a real pain in the ass. You could have taken the ground route, but being me, I like to be different and take the catwalk. Open the door all the way at the end. Game loads. BTW, if you wanted to do this whole next thing in stealth, well then you can go up the ramp leading to O.R and go to one of the doctors and garb an organ or something I think. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "Parker, Iv'e been studying the medical labs security system. There is a door you need to get past in order to reach Capek. The medical lab administrator should have the passcard. His office is on the middle of the complex." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Jump down, and use the railing and bounce off and for some reason you will not lose any health or envirosuit armour. Magic. Head all the way over to the door ahead of you, and let it open. Lokk through the window, and then you will see afew guards here. If you are still in your miners suit, they will see you immediately, but you can kill them quite easily. An ultor voice over message will occur saying that there is an intruder, but you don't have to give a shit about it anyway. Go up the ramp, and ten up to the door. Go through it, and there the lab administrator will be sitting. Get out your weapon (Silencer equiped if you are still in stealth) If your not in stealth, he will not try to attack or anything, so shoot him anywhere in the body and he will die. Watch as the blood pours out, and feel sorry for the guy....blah blah blah, and then press the button on the table that he leaves behind. Note that the button only comes available to press after you have eliminated the fool. Go back out of his office, probably with the alarm still sounding. Run down the ramp and then back out the door. Head out back into the pen section where you first jumped down into. Turn right, and go through the door at the end. BTW, if you wanted to do this whole thing in stealth, well then you can go up the ramp leading to or and go to one of the doctors and garb an organ or something I think. The door you go through was the restriced acces one, this will lead you to the next battles of the game. Exciting, I know. Take the elevator, and press the button on it. It will slowly decend down. Wait for the game to load, and then kill the guard to the right in the narrow hallway. Then head down it to the left and opent eh door at the end. In here is a little battle. I suggest using something like a bazooka, because there are 4 guards or something and you are going to take alot of damage from those bullets, unless your great at this game, Like me Well anyway, kill all the guars in here. Before you go up the steps grab all the lying around ammo that came from the guys that you killed (tsk tsk tsk) and then head up the ramp. A cut-scene will trigger. Capek the freak will be there, and even if you are still in your miner suit, in the Cut-scene, it will show parker in the Doctor suit. I think thats a maor glitch. But I guess it was programmed into the game to happen like that, because they are all stupid fools to go undercover and lose all weaponary (No flame intended, or was it?) Anway, Capek raves on about how that because you started this diversion with alll the miners starting a rebellion and being killed from the Ultor Guards, everyone will think that the miners that REALLY died of the plague were shot and killed by Ultor so he avoids suspision. Then you go against your orders and decide to shoot Capek. But your attempt fails and he has some special force field shield shit and bullets just hit it and rebound off. Capek takes his walking stick and goes out the door with you shooting him at the same time. Oh, just a note here as well: You do not lose any ammo from your pistol from shooting Capek in the actual game mode. Go through the doors. If you did goundercover and have remained undetected or decided to kill afew guads and grabbed some ammo, then I guess that is okay, but the next part can be really harsh in terms of ammo consumpiton. Go into the airlock room and then grab the sniper rifle and some ammo in the lockers. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "Capek Headed out that way, Parker." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Yar, once you are all equipped with the helath and the sniper rifle, head out of the airlocked door there. the game will then load the next section. Head up through the caves. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "I can't see into this area, there aren't any security camera's here." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Turn around, and you will find yourself in a little ambush. Turn around and pound the guards that appear with weaponary fire. Once they are dead, grab their weaponary and then turn back. Head up and then turn right. Lock on and kill the sneaky mutant creature thingy below you that can move pretty fast. For more information on this enemy, please see the Enemies section under lists. In this whole badlands, you do realise that those mutant creatures will not give you any ammo, because they don't shoot a weapon. So it is importent that you don't go around wasting alot of ammo. Continue up, and do the same with the next to sneaky mutants. You will see a dead guards body, obviously he was eaten by those mutants creatures and, well, died I guess. Yeah, so get his supplies. Head to the right, and then avoid the bazooka bullets heading your direction. Keep going and the bullets will just miss that the bazooka guy fires. Also, he is too far away to even think about hitting with a weapon, unless you have the sniper rifle, but you will probably get hit, and it will be not worth it. You choose. Go into the cave and around. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& CAPEK: "I see you Parker, I will deal with you a little later. Perhaps you might even be persuaded to join one of my experiments." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Go around, and then into the water. Turn back and then kill the guards. Keep going around and then Hendrix will pop up with a message. Read it now, because I couldn't be bothered writing it down here. Get to the little cave part. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& CAPEK: "Still there Parker? Your presistance is starting to annoy me. No matter, very soon you will be irrelevant. Where could we be going? I hear you wonder. Soon you will know Parker." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Follow the path up, and then kill the guards on land. Head right up ahead and then go through the small passage. Kill teh guards, and then wait for the game to load the next section. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& EOS: "Parker, Gryphon says Capek knows how to cure the plague. I'm coming up there to help you." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Turn right, back into the caves. Look down and you will see afew mutants, Use something like your sniper rifle and pcik them off without jumping down, this is easier because you don't have to fight them head on, where all of them together can do alot of damage. Jump down and run through the opening and into the part with the steam going up. I'm not sure that if you walk over the steam, you lose health. But I have never actually tried, so I wouldn't know. Afew mutants will come and attack you as well. Head over to the path that is foward of you around the steam. When you are at the next opening, head up into it and then kill the mutants. Collect all the weaponary from the dead guard, and even an envirosuit from him. Volition must of just put the dead guards around here just for the fact that there was no other way that you could collect ammo or health/armour in this badlands section, where there is no other around. Head out and kill the mutants. Turn right out into the open section Head back into the cave across from you and then kill the mutants... yet again. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "Parker, I have an idea of where Capek is headed. For years, there has been rumours of some sort of underground secret facility. It's not in the main Ultor security network, So I don't know whats there. I'm going to try to hack into the facility systems from here." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Kill the mitnats and run up outside. Go intot he water and pick off the mutants that re on the land. Try to get the mutants with the sniper rifle why you are in the water. The reason for this is that they can't attack you, but make sure you are in the deepest parts. Those mutant creatures can come in water when they are attacked or disturbed, or they see you. They cannot swim and don't float, so they stick to the surface. Use this to your advantage. You see the rockes with the lights by them, go behind them and into the next cave. There will be afew air bots, with shit accuracy and their fire rate of that stupid weapon is just crap as well. Destory them with afew pistol bullets, or whatever you have at your disposal. They arn't hard to beat, so I reccomend using the pistol. Head up through the cave, and then the game loads the next part. You are now in Capeks zoo. Listen to the voice over below: &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& CAPEK: "Ahh Parker, so you made it past my little guards. Welcome to my zoo. Feel free to pet the animals. They wont bite." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Head up through the cave, game loads. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& CAPEK: "You have arrived at an excellent time, Parker. Feeding time." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Run to the All Terain Vehicle in the corner. As you are doing this, alot of mutants will come out. You can either waste your ammo on them, or just simply use the mounted machine-gun on the back to kill them. My choice would be the Mounted Machine-gun. All the mutants run off when you get to it, to avoid this, lure them to you, so they have less time to escape, so then you can just shoot them before they run into the tunnel. Just shoot and then kill them all. Also, I guess you could have some fun and run them down with the ATV. I will leave the option up to you with how you want to kill them, since it is your game. Once they are all terminated, take the ATV into the tunnel. It may prove a little bit bumpy, but don't worry about that. When your reach the next part, the gate will close on you so you can't take the ATV through just yet. Gaurds will occupy next to the gate. Either hop out and grab your weapons and killl them, or run them over witht he ATV or just use the mounted machine-gun, like what you did before witht he mutnats, the choice is up to you. Once they are dead, head to the right of where you first come into the tunnel. When you are on the wire walking stuff, head to the machines on the right and garb yourself some health and then gra the shotgun from here as well. Look left to the window, and then shoot it out, but don't jump through it yet. Capek will jump up with a HUD message. I'm not going to write it down, but the main part of it is that he injected some of your miner friends with some nanotech injection and turned them into those primate things. Stand at the top and pick them off with the sniper rifle before they start moving around like their hair caught fire. Once they are all dead, it's pretty safe to jump through the broken glass, and you might want to kill the technition as well, just for fun, I guess. Head up and you will be given the two ways to go. if you just want to continue through the rest of the caves using your health, weapons and armour, then head to thr right. If you want to take the vehicle, then head back left. If you head back left, grab the supplies from behind the machine at the corner. Press the button to open the gates, and then go back to the All Terain Vehicle if you took it through the cave back abit. Get in it, and drive off into the cave. You will cpme across many Ultor Guards along the way, run them over and hear that nice "Squish" noise as their body is crushed by the ATV and the guts is spurted out the back. Nice, isn't it? Very nice. Game loads. Keep going through the caves, and you will come into the part with the steam coming from the left. Get out here, killing the guards. Go behind that machine and then grab the supplies that lie there. You can either walk normally this next bit, or take the vehicle. Whicever way, run up through the canyon or drive through it. You will eventually come into another section which is brighter than the caves. Shoot the guy with the Rocket Launcher. first. Follow the path around, killing the guys as they come to you. Head up through the next cave. The bridge here is broken or something, and jumping across is not an option. Jump down, into the water so you don't lose any health. Shoot the creature that attacks you in here. Use the lights to navigate to the next section. Pop up from underwater and hit the button on the left from where you first come up. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& CAPEK: "Ah, I see you have reached my Submarine bay. Go ahead Parker, take a ride." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Jump back into the water and press the use button to get in the submarine. Go to the cavern that is on your right? &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "Parker, I did it! I cracked into the security network for Capek's secret labs. Thats where he's heading Parker. There's a huge research facility down there." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Head down into the the caves, and fire torpedos at the Aesir Fighter. Remember that the Torps are lock on (Heat Seeking) so the accuracy doens't really matter much. Follow the lights up, and get out at the sub-marine at the end. There will be a swarm of guards up top. Take out afew before you get up. When afew are dead, then use the ladder to the right to get up out of the water area and then kill the remaining guards. Bah, make sure you kill all of them, becuase they can be sneaky and also you will take damage and you wont know it. Go to the elevator. The most obvious way, is usually THE way to go. This isn't true for this. Press the button on the elevator. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& CAPEK: "No Parker, I will not make it that easy." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Head into the cave and go down the part to the right. BTW, If you were to go foward, you will come to the other side of where the bridge is broken before, remember? Head down the shoot and be prepared for a fight. Get out a powerful, quick weapon, such as mabe your shotgun with alternative fire. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& CAPEK: "This is the feeding shoot Parker, something is hungry." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& When you come out, you will see the gigantic worm. Aww, how cute you think, pelt it with as amny shotgun bullets as possible. Try to get it up close, but not too close or it will kill you. It spurts out some yucky shit, it takes off crap all health/armour and you can easily avoid this stuff by moving back and forth, left and right. Easy, Simple, Done. Head dwon to where the worm is (After he died of cours). Now, there are two ways to come into the research facility. 1)Straight ahead Jump over those bars in the ground, or just walk around them or miss them or whatever. Go up into the cave, and kill the guards on the bridge. Go to the far end, and open the door to the airlock. 2)Down the shoot Press the button down to the bars, go down the bars and then through the cave and kill the next worm. Shoot out thw window, head right, go around the corner and hear the guards talking to each other. Shoot them and go up the ladder, into the room. Grab supplies from the lcokers and open the door. Pick off the guard standing there. Turn right out of the door. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& CAPEK: "Come Parker, I am waiting for you." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Head up killing the guards and don't forget that psycho turret on the ceiling. Afew pistol bullets will take good care of that. Head around, killing all the guards and there are so many of them that you should strafe ti avoid all the bullets. Head up, and you will find the lockers. Grab some health, armour etc. Run to the door, and you will see the elevator going down with a doctor on it. Jump down onto it quickly, and once your on, kill the doctor. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& CAPEK: "Welcome to my Domain, Parker, I trust you will find it to your liking." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& *****YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO THIS BIT***** Kill the guadrs and run to the door. Go foward killing the gurads. Hide behind that big pillar if need be. Go into the room with the cratures and stay in one of the miners cells when they open. The creatures will be let out, so kill them. *****/YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO THIS BIT***** From the entrance to the amin bit anyway, head left. Go through the paths of office desks, there are no guards in there. Kill the guard and go up the ramp killing the lady if you wish. Walk into the next are with guns blazing, kill the guards and also look up to the wire walkway, kill the guard with the grenades throwing them down at you. Head through the door at the end, attack of course. Go into the elevator and press the button to go down. Game loads. Turn left out of the elevator. Go around the corner and open the door, go back and shoot foward with your rocket launcher/flamethrower/whatever. Head back, and when you see the door open, the guads will likely be coming in to kill you, so kill the first. When they are all dead, it is best to grab weaponary off them, since the fight could of been hectic. When you try to look below in this next area, the blinds will shut it of. Go through the door at the end, and immedialtely kill the guard on the left. Garb armour/ammo as you will need it for what is coming up. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& CAPEK: "Your entering my Inner Sanctum now, Parker. Enjoy your last few minutes of human life." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Head down the wire catwalk to the bottom of this area. Open the door and shoot the guard right in front of you really quickly. Go behind the pillar to your right and use it as cover and pop out killing the guards. Once all guards are dead, Capek with say afew things, along with Eos: &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& CAPEK: "Ah, together again parker. This time I shal not be so merceful." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& EOS: "Capek, give us the antidote for the plague and we will let you live." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& CAPEK: "Alas my dear, you have no say in who lives or dies here." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Because Capek has that shielding around him, you think that normal bullets wont hurt him, right? Wrong. Get out just your basic rapid fire pistol. Eos is there to help, but doesn't have the great AI as you do. Capeks attacks are just throwing some electric things at you. These can easily me avoided by keeping on moving. Just hit the left analog stick and keep moving aiming and shooting Capek as well. If at any time you stop moving, thats bad. Very bad. If you do lose some health during the ordeal, don't worry. Just rapid fire you pistol, going around him. Eventually it will fully weaken, and then dissapear. Keep on shooting him, and then Eos will come down from where she is to Capek. The freak is interrigated by Eos and Parker. Capek tells them a sarcastic answer to how to cure the plague. Parker wants to finish Capek off and get out of here. Eos wants the cure for the plague, and Capek doens't want to give her the answer to the question. Capek ends up saying how much work is lost, and then dies. Eos and parker chat about who should stay. You don't have a choice. After the cut-scene, the self destruct message will come up. Don't stick around in here. Run up the ramp to where Eos first came in. GO through the door, and here is the time you get to help yourself to some goodies. Grab the ammo, health and all lying there, and then run up through the cave (It doesn't matter whcih way you take, they all lead to the airlock.) and opent he door at the end. Press the door shut. For those of yo who like explosions, if you stick around for the minute or whatever, you see no fire. The screen just rumbles and goes all shaky and the screen turns to black saying that Eos is dead, blah blah blah. Make sure you have the first airlock door shut, or you wont trigger this cut-scene thing, which is good of course. Open the airlock door at the other side. In the lockers will be some weaponary probably, as there usually are in all of them. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "Parker, orion says Eos was planning to bring a computer disk to Ultors communitcation centre. Eos had contacts in the Earth Defence force. She thought they'd send a rescue fleet if we put out a distress call. The comm centre is at the end of the canyon. Lets deal with the canyon first, then look for a way up to the comm centre." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& After you listen to the voice over from Hendrix, move up to the All Terain Vehicle. Another miner will me in the front ready to drive for you. Listen to what he says, or just hop in the back ready to go. The main part of it is that the miner gives you a computer disc and you need to take it to the communication centre and send a distress call, so you have to get there, which is past the canyon. Also, you can't kill this miner while he is in the ATV. ****ATV DESCRIPTION***** Called an A.T.V, this is a very common vehicle found throughout the game. It has good enough speed, and comes with an extra bonus, a mounted machine-gun on the back. There's one catch, you can shoot the machine gun and drive at the same time. Maybe you will want to drive somewhere, and then where there are enemies, quickly get off driving and to the back and start firing the machine-gun. Otherwise, you might want to get someone to drive for you. This can also be used for running over people as well. ****/ATV DESCRIPTION**** Some of the enemies you will encounter through the canyonare the basic stupid Utlor guards with Shotguns mainly, but some with the Assault Rifle and the pistol and sub-machine gun. They are easy to kill, as you can easily run them over, or shoot one bullet of the machine gun into their head or afew body bullets will kill them simple. The easiest way to kill them is to just run them over, let the miner do the job. The other enemy you will encounter is that Aesir Fighter. It has good accuracy, and can fire rockets, but usually only fires the piss weak machine gun bullets. Concentrate your machine gun on them straight away, they can cause the most damage to you thatn the other crappy guards. Just aim, shoot, and keep on shooting and worry about nothing else. When they are destroyed, go back to the normal guards and having fun. You, yourself cannot lose armour while you are on the back of the machine-gun. Sure, you could get shot in the back in real life or whatever, but in this game, the vehicle takes the damage for you. You should envy it. The stupid Ultor guards are piss weak, there fire doens nothing really to the armour of your ATV. Sometimes they do, but other times they don't. I seriously had one guard guy standing there with a shotgun shooting at the ATV for about 2 minutes as he ran up with it for some reason, and kept shooting it, but it lost no armour. If you are losing arounr, and you can't teall where it is coming from, check your on screen display, if blue shows up from the left, you are losing armour of the vehilce because someone is shooting you from the left of the vehicle. Turn the machingun that way and kill the person, or just drive off. Known bug found, sometimes the All Terain Vehicle does not go all the way to the end of the canyon. Sometimes, where the two guard towers are with the sniper in the little incut, the ATV just stops. The sound effect noises sound like it is still moving, but of course it isn't. I saved like this, but when playing playing through the game again (And writing this walkthrough) I discovered that the All Terain Vehicle is meant to go for the full of the canyon. If this glitch does occur in your game, you can easily get past the canyon, yes, even with only little armour lost. It's easy. Those Aesir fighters may be a pain, but your friend is speed. Just keep on moving, and the guards and fighters will not get a lock on on you, and the bullets will miss. As long as you keep on moving. Don't stop, hold up on the analog stick. Also, do not try and fight those Aesir fighters. It is just a waste of all your ammo, and also rocket launchers will not get a good lock on. When you finally reach the end of the Canyon, kill the remainging guards there with the machine gun before you get off, or use your other weapons if the guards are behind you and you don't want to move the machine gun around. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "Somewhere down there is a natural tunnel that ultor used as an outflow pipe for the sewage system. Thats the only way up from the canyon floor. It was blocked by a landslide 6 months ago, but Ultor cleared it off." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Head up to those boulders and drop down into the tunnel. Come out at the other end. Look to your left, and then you will see afew mutants. Fire 2 pistol bullets at them and then they will die easily. Jump into the water. Come out at the other end of the water tunnel and kill the two mutants. Do not jump down, stick to the right of the path above the water. Head around and then jump to the other side and kill the mutants that you see. Run up into the tunnel. Navigate it around and then come out the other side. Hendrix will pop up with alot of shit to say. It's too much to write. But basically, he talks about Masako, the leader of the Merc's and how shes bad, blah blah blah and how Eos hasn't made it. Also, alot of Mercenaries are coming out of reserve to fight you. Jump over the gap, by jumping just over the edge, not too early. If you fall from here, your health/armour will go down alot. Sniper off the mutant before hand, and then jump acorss and take the guards supplies. To thr right of you, will be a vent and a wall. Take out some remote charges, or anything explosive and then fire into that part of the wall. Sure enough, it will blow up. If it doens't blow up enough, then fire another into the area you want to blow up. The whole should be big enough to actually get through now. Jump through into the vent system, and then come out at the over end. if you want to hear a nice long conversation, then holster your weapon, and go up the ladder. It is two technitions here that speak, not guards so they don't react if you have no gun. Listen to the conversation if you really want to. it is just something about the smell down in this section. Jump down to the left and run up through the caves, the game loads now. Run up to that Cable Car thingy up there. Run up to this, and go in it. Press the button and the cable car with move along. Crouch near the front so you get a good view out the front window. You will see guards on where you are about to land, sniper them off, but with your pistol. When the door opens, then get out and then kill the guard by the cave. Take all the ammo and armour/health from the dead guards. Go into the caves and turn right, press the button next to the door and it opens for you, magic. You are now in an Airlock, about to enter the Communications centre. Press the next button on the end of this area dn it will open. Press the button on the elevator, and it will head up. Hendrix will pop in: &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "Your in Parker. Now for the hard part. The console you need to reach is at the highest level of the comm centre." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Move up and to the right and kill the guard. More guards will likely flood the area, kill them and make sure you grab there supplies. Use the door and go into the control room. Garb some ammo and armour from in here and then shoot the turret up on the ceiling, and go through that door. Guards will be hiding behind those sandbags. Kill them and grab the handy Precision rifle if you haven't got it already. head up and start pounding the mercs with your weapons. It is best to go downstairs and into the control room down there for some armour/health and all that. Alot of guards come down here as well, so it is a chance to get some more ammo if you are running short. Then head back up stairs, and go through the door up top. On your right will be a sneaky guard, kill him and go through the first door on your left. Go up to the next door and then the game will load the next part. This bit is a tad bit hard, it is best to use something like your Precision Rifle, because of it's kill rate and fire rate. You have to make it up to the satellite control which is all the way up the stairs, sound easy? Yeah of course it is, apart from the guards. The guards are a nuiscene, there are literally millions of the, they keep on coming. The main rule is to keep on mvoing and don't stop, this way you will avoid all bullets being shot at you. Run up the stairs, at the bullets should just past you. If you encounter a guard actually on the stairs going up, then move back and shoot them, it's no use standing still and killing them, as you will be hit by bullets from up top. Just sprint it up to the top room, and grab yourself some ammo and also the armour and health up here, there should be little things that you can open here. You are safe up here from guards for now. Kill the cowering technitions if you want to. Reload your weapon so you have a full clip of ammo left, and make sure you have a good weapon equiped that is capable of killing people quickly, preferably one with lock on accuracy and a good fire rate. In case you don't know why you are up in this communication centre, the reason is that you need to send a distress signal to the earth defence force by using the disc so they will come to Mars. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "The console you want is under the windows that look out onto the transmissio dish." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Press the button by the console looking out onto the transmission dish. Guards suddenly storm in, only afew of them though. The cut-scene ends and then you have to fight them. Kill them all. The main thing here is done, all you need to do now is get to the airlock door. When you approach the door to go back downstairs, more guards will storm in. Kill them before going back downstairs to the airlock door. Go back downstairs, and fire should be what you hear. Remember to just keep on moving, don't stop at all. If you encounter a guard, either quickly kill them or jump off to the side and then jump down near the airlock door. Open in, and be reayd for a battle. Two guys will be in here, one with the Rail Driver, kill him first. Hit the button to lock the door, and you can have a breather for afew moments, before you hit the next switch to open the door out to the canyon. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "Remember those miners on the shuttle that got blown up? To get you to the space station safely, we need to take out Ultors missile defense system. The tram tunnels lead to missile defence." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& This can prove hard for some people. open the door, and you will find a big canyon. Gunfire and screams can be heard from farther down the canyon. You need to cross this canyon, sounds hard, but it really isn't. You just need to use one tip, just keep on moving. The Canyon has thousands of enemies in it, the best way is to not fight any of them and just keep on moving dodging the bullets as they come. The miners will atract the attention from the turrets and the guards, so sometimes you can just slip through without creating too much attention, but don't think you can go without being noticed. Don't stop at any time, if you need to reload, move and reload at the same time. It also may pay off to collect some Rail Driver and other ammo on the way to the airlock door. Ignore the turrets at the end and hit the button to open the airlock. Kill the guards at the end, and head into the next door and open the door to the trams. Guards will storm in at you if you go to the passage on your left just back abit, they carry Rail Drivers, but since it is a narrow hallway, it's better to just not go down there. Come out onto the tram tracks. In the background you wil hear the noises of a tram. Don't stick around to see where it is heading, because it will simply crush you. Run to the middle, near where the pillars are. The tram will stop at the station, but you can't get to it via the tracks. On your left will be a door, open it and kill the guards. Go into the room and turn right out onto the station section killing guards here. You may find that the Railgun guards keep on coming, so just head to your right into the tram, take off, and leave all the suckers behind. Watch out for the rail driver bullets going through the wall of the tram though, that may cause a problem. the tram will automatically take off with you inside. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& EOS: "Parker, Eos here, I found the Antidote formula and got out of there. Glad to see you made it too. We've got people synthesizing the antidote now. Then we'll see if it works." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Another tram will decide to approach you on the tracks, use the railgun and shoot them both through the wall. You cannot fight them and hide at the front if you really want to, but the Rialgun guard can get you through the wall, and thats bad, really bad, as you will probably die in 1 shot. The other tram will speed off, weather the guards are dead, or alive. The tram will stop at the first stop, as it is probably ment to. Ignore it, do not get off the tram, stay on it. The guards may try to lure you out, but ignore them. The tram's doors will close and it will take off again. When it stops at the next stop, then get off. Start moving around and killing all the guards as they appear. There are alot of them, so it may be best if you ignore some of them and go through the door. Kill the guards in this area, and look to your left and grab some health, and also look right and grab yourself some envirosuit armour also. Now that you are ready for more fights, go through the door on your right, by pressing the button on the wall. Run through this area killing the guards. there are plenty of them, so that means more blood :P Head left and through the next door on your right. Open the door at the end and you will come to another door, open it and turn right and shoot the guards quickly before they shoot you. Press the button, and a short cut-scene will kick in. The missile is going to explode in that part of the centre, so you need to get out of there. There is 30 seconds to the missile launch, destroying the complex just here. Run back to the tram. Ignore all guards. if you do have to fight, move and fight so you can still get to the tram pretty quickly. Once you are in the main station, ignore everyone including guards and just run into the tram. Duck out the way of the window, so bullets will fly past you and hopefully miss you completely. The doors will automatically shut, and the tram will take off. The timer should be down to the last seconds now. You will hit a door head on or something and the screen fades to black. When you commence play again, behind you is all demolished and the tram is de-railed. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "Parker, you still there? Stop stamding around and get going! I'm putting a countdown timer for the shuttle liftoff on your hud. Thats how much time you have to reach it. You can still make it if you hurry." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Move to the front of the tram. Jump and then crouch when on the ledge, The while crouching, move foward out of the tram. Turn the corner killing the guards and then open the next door. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "This looks like some kind of motor pool. Cehck around; A vehicle would get you to the shuttle alot faster." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Kill the guards and head to the control room on your left. Go inside and flip the switch, this will open up to parts, one with a APC and the other part just has guards in them. Kill the guards first if you really need to. Go to the APC and then press the use button to get inside. ***APC DESCRIPTION*** Armoured Personell Carrier An A.P.C as I call it. The only time I can remember using this vehicle is near the end of the game. It is fast enough to drive, has great armour, and also has a machine-gun that you can use with it as well. Like most heavy machine-guns, it really isn't lock on, but the range is excellent, worthy of mention. Also another great feature about it is that you can run over people and hear the scream of death. MWHAHAHAHAH! A reasonably good vehicle, I guess. ***/APC DESCRIOTION*** Head right through the door and into the airlock. Since you are in the APC, the game will automatically press the button for you and open it, I guess. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& EOS: "The mercs are coming out hard. My squads are pinned down all over the complex. Most of the miners outside our base are dead or hiding." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Take the APC through this canyon. Rail gun guards pretty much do nothing. Mainly use your machine guns to kill the enemies, it just works better as those rockets aint lock on and the range of them is crap. Only worry about the enenmy's with the rocket launchers and Fusions if there is any. If anyone gets in your way, then run them over and hear that nice scream. Make it all the way to the end of the canyon. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "Don't stop for anything now Parker. You don't have much time left. The merc commander Masako is sending a heavy weapons squad to stop you." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& EOS: "Parker, please hurry. Our outlying guard posts are reporting skirmishes with merc squads. If the E.D.F doesn't get here soon, there's going to be nothing left." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Take the APC into the Airlock at the end of the canyon part. Game loads. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "Hurry Parker, they're starting to seal up the shuttle bay." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& When you turn the corner, shoot the guards on the right, but then go left as the door to the right is closed. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "This is the cargo loading system. You may be able to sneak in through here." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& From where you are, jump down onto the conveyar belt and then turn around. Follow the belt into the tunnel as it goes around and you are undercover. Guards will come around the corner, kill them all. Head up and come out at the end. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "Hurry! they're starting to seal the doors to the loading dock." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Jump off the conveyar belt and then jump onto the elevator. Turn so you will be facing where the guards are as you come up. Kill them all, and head to the left. A miner will ehlp you in the last part, but usually dies. Nearly there, open the door and drench the last few enemies with bullets. Collect their ammo, and head up the elevator by pressing the button on it if you go up farther from where you are. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "Parker, find a place to hide before the shuttle takes off." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Head to the left, and find the doors in the ground. Head down into there and a cut-scene will kick in. Congratulations, you are about 75%/ 80% complete of Red Faction, probably more acutally. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "You've got to disable Ultors planetary defense system before the fleet reaches mars, or they'll be toast." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Jump down and run out of the doors. Kill the crouching guard if you really must. You will now come to a part with many enemies, just run straight past them. If you are in a fighting modd, you can stay for the show, but you will probably lose valuable health that you will defenetly need later on. The precision rifle is the best for this part of the mission, so I reccomend using that, but it is really up to you. When you open the door at the end, eliminate the two bots hanging around and go through the door. On your left you will see a door labelled reactor, don't go in here yet. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "Parker, the merc's are all over the mining complex." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Head up to the next door, and you will be at a shaft. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "The command centre is up the shaft. The escape pods and labs are down the shaft." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Head up and through the door, and go to the next shaft and go up the ladder and through the door labelled security. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "Parker ultor has recieved a message from the incoming EDF fleet. it was encoded, so I don't know what it said, but they're panicing down here. they're destroying documents and computer systmes. And the merc docking bay is swarming with activities." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "Look for over-rides to the stations controls." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Go in the second door on the left, hit the computer control and it will open the bottom section of the station where the escape pod is. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "That did it! the stations lower section should now be open." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Head down to the next door labelled secuirity. Shoot the guyw ith the railgun and then run up and turn right, this is where the computers are that you have to destroy. Head in here, and first kill the guards before destroying the computers. You have low garvity at the station, so when you jump, you kind of float, but you can still lose health if you fall from too high. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HEDNRIX: "Each Computer controls part of the defence grid. Take out all computers to disable the system." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Take out your shotgun and blast the computers. When they turn black-ish, you know they have been destroyed. Destory the first 4 in here, and once they are gotten rid of, head to the next door and then go into the next room. Kill the guards up top first and then destory the computers. Head back to the shaft once all of the computers have been destroyed. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "The defence system is down temporarily. The only other way to permanently disable it is to destroy the station." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& You have to do just that, destroy the station. Head down to the bottom of this shaft, and open the door. The game loads. head down the next shaft, and halfway down will be a door, open it and go through the path and to the reactor. Shoot the guard in here and then move to the left into the actual part where the reactor is. Climb onto the ladder around the back. Take it all the way down to the bottom, and then jump off to the left side. Follow it around tpo the back of the reactor and flip the switch. Grab back on to the ladder, and then go to the top. Flip the switch just behind you, and then the reactor will over load. You have 1 and a half minutes to get to the escape pod now, the reactor is going to overload. Head to the door just down from you, and head left out of the section into the shaft. take the lader all the way to the bottom. Go through the door at the bottom as well, and the game loads. Use the next ladder to go down to the bottom. Shoot the robot thing if you haven't already and go down. If you are really running short of time, you can jump to get doewn faster, but you will rpobably lose massive amounts of health, only do it if you have about 20 seconds left. Wehn you are at the bottom, go throught he door labelled escape pod. Shoot the guards in here. The game will look like it is going to reeze here, but it wont. Hit the button on the escape pod after killing all the enemies, as the pod takes off. Phew, ya think you've finsihed the game? Think again, there is still more. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: Parker, you still alive? Iv'e sent some miners to the crash site to find you. They'll try to guide you to the merc base. We're in big trouble. the mercs have orders to evacuate the base and destroy the entire minig complex." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Grab yourself the medikit, and then go to the miner. You are apprximately 90% complete of the game. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "The merc's didn't have to go after the Red Faction base, that was Colnel Masako's idea, payback for all the trouble the miners caused. She lead the assault. I heards her radioing the merc base, reporting complete success." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Follow the miner as he goes into the cave. An ambush is set, and the miner will be shot. Use the railgun and try to get the two guards on the left in the one shot and then battle the two on the right. You are given 2 ways to go here, choose right. Miners will be battling mercs, ignore the fight and just keep on moving and running to dodge the bullets. Head to the cave at the end, game loads. When you come out, run up and there will be more fightng between the miners and the mercs. Once again, ignore the bullets and run straight past. Afterwards a fusion merc will be on top of a bridge. He will first fire at you, and if you keep on moving, only splash damage will occur. If you don't want to get hit again, stand underneath the bridge he is on so he can't fire down at you. Use the rail driver and shoot him through the wall. Move up through the cave. You will come to a part with a big bridge in the middle with a big open area. Help kill the guards here, a aesir fighter I think will destroy the bridge. You will hear the voice of the miners. Go into the cave with the supports on it. Ignore the paths and keep going up and come to the airlock door. Press the button on the next door, and gas will come out of the ground. The screen will fade to black, and some guy with laugh at you. You wake up in a cell. You have no weapons, and are trapped for the moment. Listen to what the miner across from you has to say, and suddenly a scream of........ "RED FACTION" will interupt him and the cell will open. Stay in your cell for now, and when the miner dies, run and garb his precision rifle and run to where one of the turrets are. Kill the guarda and grab their ammo. Run to the control room and open the box and garb the health and armour. Hit the swith on the elevator. Sometimes enemies will be on it. Shoot them if so. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "Parker! I found your cell and sent some miners down to free you. Once your out, head up to the merc's HQ. We need your help." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& When the elevator opens, Hendrix will pop up with another message. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "There is a squad of miners with me, but the whole base is crawling with mercs." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Head into the room on your righr and kill the guards, garb ammo and a emergency voice over will appen. Shoot the guards that come in. Go back to the main path, and then go around the corner, there is a storage room on your right, go in there for some ammo. When you reach the outside path, open the door and you come to another part. On the right will be a door with curving paths, in one of these is hendrix. Go up to him and he will talk to you. Head back to the elevator and hit the button to go up. Take the room on your left when you come up. When you are on the catwalk thing, kill the guards and the turrets and focus on the guys as they come into the room. Head down the ladder after you kill the guards up top and the turret. kill the guard at the bottom, and then hit the button to disable the power here. head up to the door at the end. Wait for hendrix and the miner. After the door opens, the miner will die. Kill all the guards. Try to even use your Rail Driver to shoot the enemies through the walls and try to disable that turret quickly as well. Opne the next door and kill the guards as well. Finally, opent he next door, and the game loads. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "Hurry Parker, run for the far doors. I have to go to the control room to open things up for you." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Parker will go up to the control room thingy. Start shooting the guards and go up to where he is and watch what happens to him. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& MASAKO: "This is what mercs do to traitors, Hendrix." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& He will come out on fire, and die. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& HENDRIX: "Parker, don't let Ultor get away with it all." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& MASAKO: "Looks like your almost out of friends, Parker." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Run to those far doors. Enemies just keep on coming here, so there is no point battling them all as they swarm in. Head to the door and around the conrer killing everyone. When you come to the next section, duck and look behind. Guards will come from behind you, kill them first while ducking. Run around the corner, killing the guards. Go into the control room. Press the button and it will lower the Aesir Fighter. gte in it, and take it through the door. Do not worry about the nrmal guards will the Railgun. In fact, any guard on the ground, just race over and their guts will spurt out everywhere. Focus your attention on the big aesir fighters. Keep heading around the corners. Do not get out when you come to that shuttle thing, ignore the guards and go through the next door at the end. head around the corners running over guards and killing the Aesir Fighters. Go into the room on the right, and destroy the two fighters by shooting your machine guns. Nearly finished. Once they are destroyed...... Masako and the fighter will fight you. Use both the rockets and machine- gun to destroy the fighter. Your fighter will be destoryed, but along with hers. Masako has a shiel exactly like Capek. Pull out your precision rifle, and just rapid fire at the shield with the lock on method. When the shield is weakened, Masako will come to the ground. The most importent part when fighting her is to keep on moving, < very importent. Just keep moving and shoot at her. She will eventually die. No cut-scene will kick in, no, it's not a glitch. Head to the elevator on the left and press the button. The music will change, and you will see Eos and a bomb. Head over there and talk to Eos. Press the use button on the bomb. Trial and error is the key to this part. Just press a button and write down what combo's you used and what worked, etc. or just use your memory. Try to just go around the d-pad pressing buttons. E.g: Press X, if that doesn't work, press O, Triangle, etc. Only the four right buttons on your controller are used, meaning X, S, T, O. Good luck. CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE NOW FINISHED RED FACTION! ======================================================================= ---------------->RED FACTION: MULTIPLAYER<----------------------------- ======================================================================= INTRODUCTION: I first just wantd to make a guide with something to do with Red Faction. I hadn't finished the game, so I just decided to do a Multiplayer FAQ for Red Faction on gamefaqs. So this next part is the WHOLE of the guide. It hasn't been altered and everything is the same: ======================================================================== ====================================================================== "This document is copyright Aaron Baker 2003" ----------------------------------------------------------------------- A Multiplayer guide for Red Faction for the Playstation 2 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- - T A B L E O F C O N T E N T S - 1.

Credits/Copyright/Closing Red Faction Multiplayer FAQ, for the Playstation 2. Written by Wayalla (Aaron Baker) Email: Wayalla1(at)yahoo.com.au Version 1.5 of the guide. Updates =================== VERSION 1.0: First release, posted on GameFAQs. Added allot of things including most of the levels, weapon descriptions and very fast kills with them along with things such as: Characters, setting up, hint's and tips and all that stuff. Some things are still missing though; they will come sometime this week if possible. VERSION 1.5: Added about 3 more tips to the Hints and Tips section. Just done some minor updates on sections throughout the guide. added the updates section and also put the credits section. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Red faction is a great game, and not just because of the actual story line game. I admit the storyline of the game is pretty good, but I have found something better that I like about this game, the multiplayer mode. I think it is great because of the intense action, and you actually don't have to verse someone else, you can just verse the computer-controlled bots. Also, the enemies have the same amount of health and armour as you, and their intelligence is absolutely excellent. This is my favourite multiplayer game on the Playstation 2. (I only have 8 games though) and it also beats all my other Playstation 1 games in the multiplayer section. All things listed above are why I like it. And because I think this mode is so good, I have decided to just write a quick Multiplayer guide for www.gamefaqs.com. All the information in this guide is written by me, unless the credits say otherwise. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 2: FAQ INTRODUCTION ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- WHAT IT CONTAINS: This guide contains things like the Characters, Levels, descriptions, basic tips and an in-depth guides to the best weapons to use for killing people all based on facts.

If you want to, you can keep it as you vs someone else with the second controller, or add some computer bots in as well to make it more fun. It is split screen, but your hud and all is still up. PLAYER VS BOTS: now this is one reason why th multiplayer game is so cool, you don't have to vs a friend or someone if you don't want to, you can just verse a certain amount of enemy bots. HUD (Heads Up Display) is same as the one player game. PLAYER NAME: I really shouldn't explain this, but what the hell! You can enter your name in by selecting the letters and pressing X. Bakckspace by pressing rhe O button. Go to 'Accept' when you are done. CHARACTERS: Press left and right to switch between characters and press the X button to pick which one you want. For more info, see the characters sectio below for the names and things like that. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 4: SET UP ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- NO. OF BOTS: Select how many bots to verse. In a one player game, 6 bots are available to verse, meaning 7 people on the field in total. On a 2 player game, 5 enemy bots are allowed, meaninign 7 in total once again. It would be cool if you could have like 10 enemy bots on the field, that would be a massive blood match. DIFFICULTY: Select the difficulty for you of the game. The four different difficulties are: Easy Normal Hard Impossible. If you are new (or just want an easy win) select easy, if you think you are getting skilled, go to Normal. If you think your pretty good at this, select Hard. If you think your a professional at this game and are very expirienced, then play on Impossible difficulty. KILL LIMIT: Select what kill limit to play to. For example, if you want to play to a kill limit of 20, select 20 and then when you playu, the first player to kill 20 people wins the match. You can have it unlimited if you want. TIME LIMIT: This cannot be turned off, you have to play to a certain amount of time. If you want your match to go for 10 minutes, select 10 minutes and a timer will appear. If you only want to play to a certain amount of kills, lets says 40, put the time limit on 30 minutes so that you will reach the kill limit before the time limit. OPTIONS: Select all different options that make the game easier to play with your preferences. See the options section about that. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 5: CHARACTERS ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: the characters have no difference as their stats goes, they all fight the same, get the same weapons and have the smae health and armour. So this is just a list, not about their stats and all. MINER PARKER: MINER 2: ENVIROSUIT PARKER: ENVUROSUIT MINER: ULTOR GUARD: UNLTOR GUARD 2: ULTOR ELITE: ENVIROSUIT GUARD: ENVIROSUIT GUARD 2: ELITE GUARD 2: RIOT GUARD 1: SCIENTIST PARKER: SUIT PARKER: Thats it, all the ones that you can play as. I will say it again: None have special stats, and they are all the sma ein that region. The onyl thing that will make you select your character is probably the look of them. The name that you entered will appear above the characters picture. So really, decide for yourself who you want to pick. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 6: LEVELS ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- BLASTED CANYON: A really basic level, it aint that big at all, and is good for a nice simple battle. Not really many places to hide, but there is one really good sniper spot. Good for all out attacks with only afew weapons really available for use. Run around the rocks or whatever for a good game of cat and mouse. WATERLOGGED: This level is pretty big, not really many hiding spots, but the level is big enough that it can sometimes happen that you can never find an enemy. By the look of the level, I thought it would be under water with the vehicles, but obviuosly it's not. This was a research centre, but apparently has gone under water. MINE WARFARE: If youhave started playing th Red Faction storyline missions, then you will know where this came from. This place where you play is under mars in a mine. This doesn't have that many hiding spots, but afew good ambush locations as well. Also, you can find the rare Fusion Rocket Launcher in this level. A great place for a normal game. WARLORDS: This is just two fortresses opposite each other, with land in the middle. Seriously, this is best for one on one action. One player will take the first fortress and the other player will take control of the other one. It's great for hiding, as you can just peep through the holes of the fortress and sniper off your foe. Will you stay in your base or boldy assault your foe? THE LOBBY: In the real one player game, you have to cpature osmeone in the Ultor building, this is where this level comes from. It has a great snipering spit as well as the same locations to hide. If you want all out attack, go to the bottom floor, that will keep you busy for awhile, if you are a sniperer, garb a Rocket Launcher and stand up top shooting down. THE BADLANDS: This is a deep martian canyon, shrouded in fog. There are alot of paths here, ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 7: IN-DEPTH LEVEL DESCRIPTIONS ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- THE BADLANDS: ===================== SNIPERING SPOTS: The two places where you start are absolutely great for sipering down on your enemies with the Rocket Launcher. Fro where you start, you can see down out onto the canyons. The enemies are too busy with fighting each other to usually bother about getting you. The odd Bazooka bullet will come up now and again, but that can be avoided. Aim at the ground with your Rocket Launcher and pick off the people as they come around. RESPAWNING POINTS: There are only 2 in this level, and they are both up high looking down over the blasted canyon. The blasted canyon is like symmiterical, whcih means it is the same on both sides. The only difference between these re-spwaning locations is that one has a rocket launcher and a precision rifle, and the other has no weapon up there ate all. The main respawn location is the one with the bazooka, but I guess it is where you die that decides the respawning point. WEAPON LOCATIONS: ROCKET LAUNCHER: You will start up in a little room thingy, straight in front of you will be it. This is just by 1 of the re-spwning locations so when you die, you can just get one of these from the start. ROCKET LAUNCHER: From the seoncd re-spawn location which is the one without the the rocket launcher at the start, jump down out the room and run behind the second canyon on the right. PRECISION RIFLE: From the first re-spawn location (The one with the bazooka) strafe to the right and you will collect it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 8: WEAPONS ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- PISTOL: This is just the basic pistol that you first get in the game. It is also the first weapon you obatin in multiplayer and you start off with this as well. The accuracy is excellent because of the lock on method. Fire rate is excellent if you know the trick and this can kill very easily and quickly. To get a quick kill, keep tapping SHOOT while locked onto someone and fire away. This will kill so quickly, this is why this weapon should be in your top 4 preferences because if you weigh up these facts, this weapon is better than the rail driver AND the rocket launcher. The bullets that are fired don't take away massive amounts of health, but keep firing and you will kill easily without losing much health. A great weapon, enemies have this weapon as their default as well, but may find other weapons on their travels, so when you kill an enemy, garb their weapon. SUB-MACHINE GUN: A short looking machine-gun that looks quite nice when your carrying it also, but the look doesn't make it good, it's what it does that makes it good. Ammo for this is large, and the weapon itself is available in most of the levels playable. The accuaracy is excellent just like the pistol, as it locks on to the enemy bot. And the fire rate is better than the pistol because, well it's a machine gun. Machine-guns fires rapid bullets. The only real problem with this weapon is that it can take just a tad more time than the pistol to kill someone, but is still right up there with that if you weigh up the facts. Also, this weapon should be up there in the top 5 of your preferences because of all these great things. Should defently be used if you feel like a change from the pistol, or run out of pistol ammo. There are better weapons, but this is still quite relyable. SNIPER RIFLE: Sniper Rifles are really ment to be for long distance kills and aiming looking through the scope, but the action packed multiplayer doesn't give you time to get a good shot like this because you will probably get shot and killed while aiming to perfection, and also because the speed of the enemies and you doesn't allow you for a decent shot. The fire rate is ok, ok meaning not real great, but not terribly bad as well. The only things worse than this in the fire rate section and the heavy weapons. Accuracy is bad as well, as it isn't lock on. The bullets can kill very quick though, but you will probably die by enemy gunfire before you can get the shot in the right place. To get a instant kill, you must get someone in the head, and with the speed of the game, this can be hard. If you want to continuos fire, hold down SHOOT, the bullets that come out are the fastest they can go. PRECISION RIFLE: Don't be folled by the name, this is easily the best weapon with all the facts weighed up. Lest start with the facts shall we? The fire rate is excellent, continously tap the X button to spurt out alot of bullets. This acts basically like the pistol in it's fire rate, but actually a bit better. Next, we will move onto the accuracy: Excellent, absouletly great, it is lock on, whcih gives it a big edge over someof the other weapons, and now the main reason you will want this weapon is for how fast it can kill. Lock on and fire about 4 or more bullets, the person will be dead, bang, gone! They die very quickly, and the sound of the bullets is nice for me. Weigh up all of these facts, and you will see that this is the best weapon to use. I guess no one gives a rats about my opinion, but I say that this weapon should be in the top 2 of your weapon preferences. Think about it: Excellent Fire Rate, Excellent accuracy, Excellent damage. ASSAULT RIFLE: Just a basic assault rifle, the Fire Rate is good, yes thats right, only good, and it's a machine gun. The only reason that i said it is good is because that after every about 5 bullets, it has to stop for about a second before shooting out some more bullets, this really lets it down, because in those seconds you can be shot to bits. Accuracy is the simple lock on method that most weapon have. The bullets damage isn't anything special as well, the bullets take ages to kill, and that stop in the middle (Which isn't the reload) is annoying and will most liely get you killed because those bullets in the time before the stopping wont kill the enemy. Easily, this should be avoided unless you like machine-guns or you just want a change from a different weapon or just run out of ammo on other weapons. This isn't high on my preferences list at all, I can tell you that. ROCKET LAUNCHER: Yes, the weapon of mass destruction. We all know this weapons from just about every other shooting game out there, it is also called a Bazooka or a RPG which stands for Rocket Propelled Greande. Also if you are interested, Bazooka is called a Panzerfaust in German (And they say Video Games teach us nothing!!). On with the facts: The fire rate is bad, but what do you really expect from this weapon. The accuracy I guess you could call ok, it isn't lock on or anything, but the edge is that when you fire, the explosion can spread abit. And now to the main part, the damage: Excellent, aim, fire near the ground and everyone within a certain distance of the explosion will be dead. Even when you fire, a hole will be left in the ground where the bullet struck. Do not shoot someone who is right in your face unless you want to suicide yourself as well. Also don't hit the ground below you with it. I think you know why. HEAVY MACHINE-GUN: This weapon is basically what they use in the war in those bunkers, if you have every played something like Medal Of Honour 1, 2 or 3 you will know what I mean. Lets start with the facts. Fire Rate: Well, what do you expect from a machine gun, because it's called a heavy machine gun, this weapon has the best fire rate in the hole Multiplayer game. The accuracy of this weapon is nothing sepcial, it isn't lock on, so you have to do the aiming yourslef, damn, I'm too lazy though. The bulets from this really don't do much damage, but what would be the fun of a quick kill with the best fire rate stat in the game, it would kill too quick, which would be good, but obviously the makers don't think that. If you want to get a qucik kill, aim for the head. Reloading really lets it down as well, as you can waste ammo very quick, and then get drenched with bullets while reloading. It's still an alright weapon, but the accuracy and reloading let it down. RAIL DRIVER: The name doesn't sound like this is a powerful weapon, but really it can be if you get it on the right spot. In all games, the rail driver has been a really powerful wepaon, and one that kills instantly once the bullet hits, same with this game. The fire rate is nothing spectacular, as you fire 1 bullet, then you need to reload another rail, so it takes ages. The accuracy is crap, buut what do you expect from a heavy weapon. The damage it does is the thing to rave about, fire 1 bullet and if it hits someone, there gone, dead. But getting the accuracy staright on someone is very hard due to no auto aim and the game is so fast paced that the bots move too quickly to get a good shot on them. Also, while your reloading after every shot, it takes ages and you will probably get shot to bits while doing it. Avoid this weapon, unless you just want to have some fun. AUTOMATIC SHOTGUN: I think we all know what a shotgun is. A shotgun is a big gun that when it fires a bullet, that bullet breaks up into several other little bullets that in real life can kill instantly. The shotgun here is bascically like it, except automatic. Automatic means it can fire quicker than a normal shotgun, but for me, it doesn't seem that way. the fire rate is nothing to rave about, but still better than some other weapons. The accuracy is the standard lock-on thing which I guess is good enough. The damage it causes is slightly good. 2 body shots at someone and they are dead. But once again, reloading is a pain in the ass. After every shot you have to reaload, which makes you vulnerable for attack, this is a let down to the weapon, but everyw weapon has something bad about it right? This should be low on your preferences. FLAMETHROWER: Any person who loves the action fighting games and shoot em ups will know what this weapon is. It's a flamethrower, which the name suggests it "Throws" flames, but it actaully shoots them out. Fire rate is great, hold down SHOOT and flame will come out excessively. Reloading time is excellent as well, meaning that you really don't need to reload at all. Every time you pick up one of these, the clip has 10 in it, and when you wate the 10 seconds of flame, then you lose it, so really there isn't no reload time. Accuracy I guess you could say is ok, because just aim and fire and the flames will spread around about, catching on to people around. Damage is ok, because just you fire, and it catches on and they start running around on fire. I guess you could say this is a good weapon, you decide for yourself where it is on your preferences. FUSION ROCKET LAUNCHER: The big mamma, this is just like the rocket launcher, instead way bigger and packs more of a serious punch. Don't worry, you will find out what this is capable of when you obtain it in the game. Fire rate is Not Applicable, as the gun can only hold 1 bullet, so you can't continuous fire with a weapon with 1 bullet, so I really can't say. But if you did obtain 2 bullets, I would say that the fire rate would be the same as the Rail Driver, in another words: Poor. The accuracy type is the non- lockon, which means you have to aim yourself, which I guess is good with this weapon of mass destruction. The damage is the great thing, as you would expect for a weapon of mass destruction. If you see a pack of enemies, fire a bullet into the ground next to them, and make sure you stand back. Watch the explosion, it looks cool. This weapon is only available in about 2 levels, so it's rare really. But remember make sure you shoot it into the ground by a pack of enemies, otherwise the destructive bullet will be wasted. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 9: ALTERNATIVE FIRE ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- PISTOL: N/A, in the actual 1 player storline, it is used as a silencer, hbut you can pick up a silencer in the multiplayer game anyway. Even if you did, what would be the point of a silenced pistol. SUB-MACHINEGUN: One of the best, the sub-machine gun takes two types of ammunition. Pres the alt fire button and you can swtich between these bullets, thus guvung you plenty of ammo to swap between. Defently one of the better uses. Really, there is no difference between the bullets damage, but I guess it is just for if you run out of ammo. SNIPER RIFLE: Use to aim, aiming is pretty weak for the reason that the game moves too fast to get a good sniper shot on someone, so this is basically useless. It may be good if you want to ct sniper and sit somewhere and try and pick of people. PRESICION RIFLE: Same as above, it scope aims, but for some reason it always aims ahead of you at the ground, so you need to look up quickly to get the shot on someone. Press the fire button to fire alot of rounds and hope someone comes into the line of fire. ASSULT RIFLE: Better than the other use for it, press the alternatie fire button, and this just keep on shooting rounds, not stopping. Better than the other use, but the accuracy goes down about, which is the only fault, but once again, still better than the other use. ROCKET LAUNCHER: Apparently in goes into heat seeking mode, heck if I know what that means, maybe it is ock on or something or you can view enemy's through walls. If you know the correct thing for what this does, please e-mail me. HEAVY MACHINE-GUN: Fires slower, but more accuracy. This can also be uised for the sake to conserve some ammunition. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 10: HINTS AND TIPS ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- INTRODUCTION: This section is probably what people will mots read this FAQ for, the tips to win the multiplayer game. It includes tips to win, avoid dying, and all that sort of things. BEST WEAPON FIRST: An importent tip: If you grab a weapon that you like and is capable of mass destruction, use it. There is no point saying something like: "A wanna conserve ammo for this weapon" because if you don't use it and it's good at killing, you will probably die and lose the weapon, so use it while you have got it, and it may just bring your kills up. Whats the point of conserving ammo if you lose the weapon? BASIC KILLING: The most importent thing to do in Red Faction is to kill (Duh) To easily kill with a lock on weapon, get the lock on of an enemy, and then continuously tap or hold the fire button (Depends on the weapon). Thats how you kill, easy. If you have a non-lockon non heavy weapon (Like the Heavy machinegun for example) then aim for the enemies head, that will kill very quickly indeed. HEAVY WEAPON TRICK: Afew tricks with the Rocket Launcher here: Always fire it into the ground ahead of you, theres no use trying to hit someone full on with the rocket launcher, as you will defenetly miss your opponent. If you fire into the ground, the explosion may get to the enemy, giving you a better chance of killing someone. HEAVY WEAPON TRICK II: Next trick is that sometimes you wanna act like a ambusher or sniper with the rocket launcher, and due to the explosion, it is well used like this. But sometimes bots can be just beneath you or if you fire, you will probably hit the edge. What you can do is jump inthe air and fire down, because jumping will let you see abit more over the edge below. This can also avoid the explosion if you happen to fire the rocket into the groumd. SPEED: The main tip for staying alive is to race along. yes, thats right, speed. Speeding along is good for many reason, but the main fact is that you avoid enemy gunfire. Thats importent. Try to keep moving all the time, unless you know you are safe where you are positioned. But if your in the middle of the warzone, this will dodge gunfire. If the enemy carries a lock on weapon, bullets still MAY hit you. SECRET AREAS: Sometimes in the levels you see posters and drawings on the wall. Ever thought those were suspicious? Well you were right. Get something that causes an explosion (Like the remote chargers) and fire at the poster. Make sure you stand back, and then blow the hole in the wall. The poster will uncover a secret area, if you can't get in there, throw another remote charcge to destroy the wall abit more. I CAN'T SEE: A really useless tip, but still good for fun. If you find an enemy unaware to your presence, place a remote charge on his face or somewhere like that, so they are running around with a remote charge on them. If you want to, you can wait until the enemy approaches more enemies an then set it off in the group for a series of kills. This can be done to your firens game face as well. Place it on there, and they can't see whats going on. Plus, if the remote charge is shot, then it explodes, right in his/her face. STEALING: When you kill an enemy, they drop ammunition or the weapon from the last weapon they had selected before they died. For example, fi you die with a pistol selected, the pistol will appear above your body for taking. This is a great way to get some more ammo, if they ahve a rail driver and die, pick it up. STRAFING: Anothing importent thing to use often, is strafing. Strafing is basically walking side to side while looking in the one direction. To strafe, use the analog stick left to move arond. this is good for many things, just to name afew 1: Avoiding bullets, by keep moving, somtetimes the enemy wont get a lock on and it will make it harder to hit you, and also, 2: use it while going around corners so you get a good lock around the corner. Otherwise, if you turn it normally, you will be wide open for shots before you get your view centered around the corner. RELOADING: I never see any of my friends or anyone doing this in this game, but reload when you have the time to. If you have 1 bullet left in your clip and no enemies are around, thn reload while you have the time. there is no use going into a battle with 2 bullets left in the clip, because while your fumbling trying to reload, you will be dead. Try to keep a decent amounf of bullets in your clip. RELOADING IN FIGHTS: Simple enough, try not to do it. If you happen to waste the entire clip, then hide somewhere, don't stay out in the open, otherwsie you will probably be shot to pieces. If you can't hide, just simply strafe and keep moving so the enemy wont have time to shoot you. If you are using a heavy machine-gun, that has alot of ammo in it's clip, so don't bother about reloading until it is nearly empty. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 11: SURVIVING ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- WHO TO AVOID: These are the people with guns to avoid and not to avoid. So this next bit is how to survive someone with a weapon. SURVIVING ENEMIES WITH A RAIL DRIVER: you see anyone with this, back off and pick a fight with someone else, only ever attack the bot if they are distracted by someone else. If you do find yourself looking at a rail gun, keep on moving to duck the fire and fire your, pistol at the same time. If the enemy fires and misses you, quickly fire back at the opponent before they have time to load another shot. SURVIVING ENEMIES WITH A PISTOL: Talk about easy, hit head on no troubles at all. They pistol shots of yours can kill quickly, they are too dumb to realise this and there bullets take ages to even get to you. Easily can be avoided, and once again, alright to fight head on. SURIVING ENEMIES WITH A ROCKET LAUNCHER: Once again they are pathetic with this weapon. If you see someone with a rocket launcher, don't be afraid to go to them head on. The reasoon for this is the rocket launcher isn't accurate, so if an enemy bot fires, just move a little to the left or right and the bullet will miss you, leaving the bot open for a good attack by you. SURVIVING ENEMIES WITH A HEAVY MACHINEGUN: This can seriously pack a punch, try and aviod head on fighting. Pop around corners if you must and then quickly fire and kill the opponent. Also you can just wait to the enemie's back is pointed towards you and then shoot them quickly. The accuracy with this weapon is off abit, but when thewy do get it right, it can hurt. SURVIVING ENMIES WITH A FLAMETHROWER: Pretty easy this, just keep on moving while shooting the enemy. the flames don't go far at the accuracy isn't the best either. Just avoid the flames and shoot and you will be right. SURVIVING ENEMIES WITH A SNIPER RIFLE: Believe it or not, they pack a serious punch. 1 bullet and you havwe 10 health left, another bullet from any gun and your dead. Defently avoid head on fights, and try and kill the enemy with a pistol or a sub- machine gun or something like that. Make sure the enemy is distracted by another bot, and then kill them both with the weapon. SURVIVING ENEMIES WITH OTHER WEAPONS: For an Assault Rifle, do the same tactic as the Heavy Machine-gun, because they are actually the same. If someone has a Automatic Shotgun, then keep on moving away while firing. I have never seen an enemy with a precision rifle, so I really couldn't include it here. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 12: DAMAGE ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ever wanted to know how much damage a certain weapon does so you know what weapon to pick for the best kill? some stats are here: * THIS SECTION IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION * PISTOL: One bullet takes away 19 health and 21 armour SUB-MACHINEGUN: SNIPER RIFLE: PRECISION RIFLE: One bullet takes away 36 health and 39 armour ASSAULT RIFLE: ROCKET LAUNCHER: HEAVY MACHINE-GUN: RAIL DRIVER: AUTOMATIC SHOTGUN: FLAMETHROWER: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 13: HEADS UP DISPLAY ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- WEAPON: The weapon is at the bottom of the screen, as your player holds the weapon. AMMO: Your ammo for the weapon appears in the top right hand corner of your secreen. The first slot is how much ammo in the clip, and the second slot is how much is left in total ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 14: STATISTICS ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- INTODUCTION: Statistics come up at the end of the game, they show the information that happened, for example, look at this table: _____________________________________________________ | PLAYER NAME KILLS DEATHS KILLING SPREE ACCURACY | | Aaron 35 10 10 32.00% | | Willis 27 21 9 27.50% | | Tyler 15 25 3 21.00% | | Myles 8 29 2 26.00% | | Abriham 2 29 1 30.00% | |_____________________________________________________| PLAYER NAME: Displays the name of your character and all of the other people that you played against. KILLS: How many times you killed someone, to get a kill, be the last shot on a person that dies. DEATHS: How many times you died yourself, including if you kill yourself. KILLING SPREE: Your biggest amount of kills before being killed ACCURACY: How many bullets hit a traget. This is always in-accurate because you are probably still shooting someone when they are dead, but you don't know it. DRAW: Look at this table below: Aaron 6 5 2 20.00% Willis 5 4 2 40.00% Tyler 5 5 2 30.00% Myles 5 5 1 60.00% Extra 5 5 1 10.00% Abraham 4 6 1 40.00% The first row is the kills of course, and then the next row is the deaths and then the next is the longest killing spree and then finally the accuracy. This chart was made just to show you waht would happen if a draw occured. Lets start off. No matter what, whoever has the best kils wins. It doens't matter about anything else, the kills are what matter to win. But if there is a draw in the kills for different places as you can see in the table. Willis, Tyler, Myles and Extra all drawed wih the kill amounts. So to determine who comes the better position, it moves into the next row, which is the deaths. Here, the lower the better. Willis was killed less times than Tyler, Myles and Extra, so he nabs second place. But Tyler, Myles and Extra all drawn with the kills and deaths. So next, it moves into the Killing Spree section. Tyler has a better number than Myles and Extra, so he nabs thrid place, but Myles and Extra drew again. It moves into the next colum and Myles has a better accuracy, so he gets a higher position. It all might seem a bit comlicated, but you will get it soon enough. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 15: WEAPON PREFERENCES ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Go to options and select Weapon PReferences. Then go to change prorities for the weapon. Here you can put your favourite weapon first, so that when you pick it up in the multiplayer game, it will automatically switch to it. Lets say this is your preferences: 1: 12mm Pistol 2: Sub-machinegun 3: Precision Rifle 4: Rocket Launcher 5: Fusion Rocket Launcher 6: Rail Driver 7: Remote Charge 8: Heavy Machine-gun 9: Assault Rifle 10: Automatic Shotgun 11: Sniper Rifle Lets just say that you have a Sniper Rifle selected (Which is your worst priority) and then you pick up a 12mm Pistol, it will automatically swap to your newly aquired 12mm Pistol. If you are carrying a 12mm Pistol and you pick up a Precision rifle, then it wont swap, but just add the Precision Rifle to your inventory for later use. One more example: if you have a Sniper Rifle, and you pick up a Shotgun, then it will change. I think you get it know. You can change all of these settings by prssing X and moving the weapons upand down. Note that the Control Batton isn't used in the Multiplayer mode. Here are my top weapons to use in the Mult-player mode: here are my top weapon category choices: EXPLOSIVE: (Out of: Fusion, Rocket, Remote, Driver) 1. Fusion - Due to the power 2. Rocket - Great for explosions 3. Remote - Only good for opening secrets 4. Driver - Poor accuracy, bad with the game speed MACHINE-GUN: (Out of: Sub, Assault, Heavy) 1. Heavy Machinegun - Can kill in one shot with the 'alt fire' button 2. Sub - Easy to use, great accuracy 3. Assault Rifle - Great weapon OTHER: (Out of: Precision, Sniper, Shotgun, Pistol, Shield) 1. Precision - Great accuracy, VERY quick kills 2. Pistol - Great accuaracy, very quick kills 3. Shotgun - Not good, but still ok for killing 4. Sniper - Bad weapon, kills quick, but accuracyu is a problem 5. Shield - Useless ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 16: SECRETS ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ROOF IN LOBY: The roof in the Lobby level can be accessed using Geo Mod. Ge Mod in case you don't know lets you destroy part and ulter the enviroments around you. You can see a ramp on one fo the sides up the top. Grab yourself the bazooka that appears there and start blasting away at the posts there. Keep blasting away with you rocket launcher, uncovering spaces where you can jump through to the roof. You must shoot the wall alot though to get up there. Up top on the roof there is Rail Driver and also a Fusion Rocket Launcher. You can walk all over the plave because of the glass to protect you, but once it is broken, then you will fall down. If you shoot a fusion rocket-launcher bullet at the glas, it will shatter the glass, and the bullet will keep on going. The Fusion rocket launcher is capable of mass destruction, so only use it good when LOTS of people are below you, otherwise the bullet would be wasted, and you only get about 1 so then you have to wait for it to re- spawn. the other weapon up here is the Rail Driver, which can shoot through walls, but otherwise due to the crap accuracy of it and the speed of the game, it is useless. Better take more weapons up withyou here if you want some kills. Also, if you don't feel like fighting, you can come up here for a look down and watch some of the killing that goes below on the main floor of the lobby. POSTERS: Alot of the time during the multi-player levels, you will find some posters on the wall. Most of them say something about ultor or something else, but did you ever think there was something suspicious about them, well you were right. Grab yourself a rocket launcher or a Remote charge. Approach any of the posters that you want a secret area to uncover, then fire at the wall. Make sure you stand back with either of these weapons, because the blast can sometimes get to you, and that is bad. Once the poster is blown up, the wall will blow up. If the wall isn't blown up enough to get it, hit for another spot in the wall to destroy that, this will destroy more of the wall, leaving more space to get in. Hidden ereas usually contain explosives. The secret areas can also be used for great sniper spots. If someone comes around the corner, pick em off. TRICKY VIOLATION: Go to the area called the blasted canyone Multi-player level. Personally, this is a great level, because it is just basic and great for some quick kills. Anyway, when you start, you will notice that you are up high, deserted from the rest of the people below. In order to get down, you have to jump, and you are up high. If you fall from a high spot, you will know that you lose health. Violition have made it that you have to lose health before you are actually in a battle. Maybe this is just to make it harder or something, who knows?! This can also be used as a sniper spot if you want. And i guess if you really don't wanna lose health everythime you re-spawn, there is a rocket launcher there, so you can use Geo-Mod to your advantage. Really, it's not worth it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 17: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- INTRODUCTION: Man, that heading took longer than usual. I thought I should bareviate it, but then people would think iot's something to do with the guide not the game. FAQ has several different meanings. The most common one is Frueqently Asked Questions, but it can mean alot of things, one of those things is called a strategy guide. So tmy guide and the F.A.Q are different. Frequently Asked Questions are deigned to reduce the amount of mail that I get, as most questions about Red Faction Multi-player can be answered here. If the question cannot be answerwed here, then feel free to e-mail me (See above "FAQ Intro") If the question is in here that you sent me, I will probably not reply, or just say the answer is in the F.A.Q section. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- QUESTION: Can you use the vehicles of the game in the Multiplayer mode? ANSWER: No, no you can't. I can't see the animation of the enemy bots in Vehicles driving around shooting in things like the APC and such. Also, there would really be no fun at all with it, because of your vehicle was destroyed, you wouldn't be killed yet becuase you can just get out. Vehicles have much armour, and it would be hard to kill them. So, I really would like this multiplayer better without vehicles. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- QUESTION: How do I complete the X section in the one player mode? ANSWER: This is a Multiplayer guide. Here are afew guides that will help you with these questions; Here are the links to any 1 player walkthrough information and al those sorts of things: http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/red_faction_a.txt ~ TCovert's ----------------------------------------------------------------------- QUESTION: Can I add stuff to the guide, as in Tips and Secrets? ANSWER: Yup, of course. My e-mail is Wayalla1(at)yahoo.com.au Just replace the (at) with @. As long as the information is true, then you will be credited and the Information will go into this guide. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 18: CLOSING ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CREDITS: Volition: For making this Kick Ass game.

A: See Author Information. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SECRETS ======================================== ========================------------------------ ROOF IN LOBY: The roof in the Lobby level can be accessed using Geo Mod. Ge Mod in case you don't know lets you destroy part and ulter the enviroments around you. You can see a ramp on one fo the sides up the top. Grab yourself the bazooka that appears there and start blasting away at the posts there. Keep blasting away with you rocket launcher, uncovering spaces where you can jump through to the roof. You must shoot the wall alot though to get up there. Up top on the roof there is Rail Driver and also a Fusion Rocket Launcher. You can walk all over the plave because of the glass to protect you, but once it is broken, then you will fall down. If you shoot a fusion rocket-launcher bullet at the glas, it will shatter the glass, and the bullet will keep on going. The Fusion rocket launcher is capable of mass destruction, so only use it good when LOTS of people are below you, otherwise the bullet would be wasted, and you only get about 1 so then you have to wait for it to re- spawn. the other weapon up here is the Rail Driver, which can shoot through walls, but otherwise due to the crap accuracy of it and the speed of the game, it is useless. Better take more weapons up withyou here if you want some kills. Also, if you don't feel like fighting, you can come up here for a look down and watch some of the killing that goes below on the main floor of the lobby. POSTERS: Alot of the time during the multi-player levels, you will find some posters on the wall. Most of them say something about ultor or something else, but did you ever think there was something suspicious about them, well you were right. Grab yourself a rocket launcher or a Remote charge. Approach any of the posters that you want a secret area to uncover, then fire at the wall. Make sure you stand back with either of these weapons, because the blast can sometimes get to you, and that is bad. Once the poster is blown up, the wall will blow up. If the wall isn't blown up enough to get it, hit for another spot in the wall to destroy that, this will destroy more of the wall, leaving more space to get in. Hidden ereas usually contain explosives. The secret areas can also be used for great sniper spots. If someone comes around the corner, pick em off. TRICKY VIOLATION: Go to the area called the blasted canyone Multi-player level. Personally, this is a great level, because it is just basic and great for some quick kills. Anyway, when you start, you will notice that you are up high, deserted from the rest of the people below. In order to get down, you have to jump, and you are up high. If you fall from a high spot, you will know that you lose health. Violition have made it that you have to lose health before you are actually in a battle. Maybe this is just to make it harder or something, who knows?! This can also be used as a sniper spot if you want. And i guess if you really don't wanna lose health everythime you re-spawn, there is a rocket launcher there, so you can use Geo-Mod to your advantage. Really, it's not worth it. =====================------------------- CHEATS ======================================== I do not know any cheats for this game. I think there may be some cheats such as gameshark codes or action replay codes, check gamefaqs codes setion first, and then also go to gamewinners. If you can't find anything there, cehck gameshark sites. If that fails, there is none. Stop emailing me about them, please! GLITCHES ======================================== -----[DON'T STOP THERE]----- Known bug found, sometimes the All Terain Vehicle does not go all the way to the end of the canyon. Sometimes, where the two guard towers are with the sniper in the little incut, the ATV just stops. The sound effect noises sound like it is still moving, but of course it isn't. I saved like this, but when playing playing through the game again (And writing this walkthrough) I discovered that the All Terain Vehicle is meant to go for the full of the canyon. If this glitch does occur in your game, you can easily get past the canyon, yes, even with only little armour lost. It's easy. Those Aesir fighters may be a pain, but your friend is speed. Just keep on moving, and the guards and fighters will not get a lock on on you, and the bullets will miss. As long as you keep on moving. Don't stop, hold up on the analog stick. Also, do not try and fight those Aesir fighters. It is just a waste of all your ammo, and also rocket launchers will not get a good lock on. Contributors ------------- None yet.
