Hales Gambit is the first mission in Red Faction: Armageddon as part of the Path to War DLC pack.

Summary

Hale sends his right hand man Mallus to take down the Terraformer defenses whilst piloting an Inferno GX, where Red Faction and Marauder troops are actively defending the area. It takes place approximately 10 hours before the Terraformer failure.

Introduction

Hale A generation ago I watched as these colonist scum stole everything from me. My people, my purpose. They left me broken. Left me to die in the desert, alone and forgotten. But that is the past. Today our glorious future begins. You, Mallus--my right hand--shall help me destroy the terraformer and bring Mars to her knees. Our future is at hand. Do not fail me.

As you escape the meltdown

Hale A power that will crush our enemies... and return Mars to its rightful owners.
Hale Our future is at hand, my children. We are victorious.
