The '''Heroic System''' is the name given to the morale meter in [[Red Faction II]].

==Description==
The '''Heroics''' meter plays an important part in the game. Indicated by a green or red star icon, when you perform a bonus objective, you will see a green star pop up on the Hud, this means the player has completed a Heroic objective. When a red star icon pops up, it usually means you have killed a [[civilian]] or [[faction fighter]] - reducing your Heroics meter.  
The Heroic System plays an important part in the games mechanics, influencing the outcome of the games ending cinematic dialogue depending on where your score landed within the system.  


Throughout the game this system takes into account how much of the Heroics meter is completed and changes the voice over on the ending cutscene of the Game.  
You can influence the system in a few ways, most notably by completing [[Red Faction II Bonus Objectives|Bonus Objectives]] - indicated by a green star image that will pop up on the hud when completion is achieved. This infers that you have completed a Heroic Objective or perhaps found a secret route to avoid enemies. The other format of influencing the meter comes from killing civilians or members of the [[Red Faction (Group)|Red Faction]], indicated by a red star image that pops up in the same location.
