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 members of the [[Red Faction (Group)|Red Faction]] - 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.
