| ==Plot== | | ==Plot== |
| Red Faction: Guerrilla is a 3rd person, open-world action shooter set on [[Mars]], set roughly 50 years after the events of the original [[Red Faction (Game)|Red Faction]] (around the year 2120). Players take the role of an insurgent fighter named [[Alec Mason]] with the newly re-established [[Red Faction(Rebellion)|Red Faction]] movement as they battle for liberation from the oppressive [[Earth Defense Force]] ([[EDF]] - allies in the first [[Red Faction (Game)|Red Faction]]). Throughout their fight for freedom, players carve their own path, wreaking havoc across the vast, open-world environment of [[Mars]], from the desolate mining outpost of [[Parker(Settlement)|Parker]] to the gleaming [[EDF]] capital city of [[Eos(City)|Eos]] to the [[Earth]]-like region known as [[Oasis]].
| | The game, much like its predecessor, has basis in the real-life Red Army Faction; many storytelling themes that were prevalent in [[Red Faction (Game)|Red Faction]] are more pronounced in this sequel. |

| |
| | |
| Utilizing improvised weapons, explosives and re-purposed mining equipment and vehicles, Red Faction: Guerrilla allows players to tear through fully destructible environments in an unforgiving Martian landscape swarming with [[EDF]] forces, Red Faction resistance fighters, and the downtrodden settlers caught in the cross-fire. Red Faction: Guerrilla also features a robust multiplayer component, including several modes focused on destruction-based gameplay.
| |
| | |
| The game starts out with [[Alec Mason]], the protagonist, landing on [[Mars]] and meeting his brother, [[Dan Mason]]. As they drive through the streets of [[Mars]], a group of [[EDF]] cars nearly crashes into them. This starts Dan talking about all of the horrible things [[EDF]] has done to the people of [[Mars]]. As he speaks, scenes of cruelty are shown, such as death squads and beatings. When Alec and Dan arrive at their destination, an abandoned lab, they spot a gunship flying in the air. The player is then tasked with destroying the abandoned buildings while their brother keeps a lookout. As the player returns to the vehicle, the gunship returns and orders Dan to surrender, revealing that he was part of [[Red Faction]]. When Dan tries to run, the gunship shoots him and Alec. Alec survives but Dan is killed instantly. He returns to Dan's home to find that [[EDF]] has raided the house. When the soldiers see Alec they order him to drop his "weapon" (a sledgehammer). Alec is accused of being a part of the Red Faction insurgents by the commander and is placed under arrest. Despite Alec's protests of arriving today which is responded with the commander saying "I guess you work fast." And retorts that Alec had detonators for the remote charges the player used in the first game play sequence. Alec responds to being a mining engineer and having a permit for the charges, which results in the commander pushing him off and retorts once more "It just got revoked!" the commander then orders the platoon with him to shoot and kill Alec. Before he can be killed [[Red Faction]] members start engaging the soldiers. As all of soldiers fall except for the commander, Alec picks up the sledgehammer and kills the leader with it. The leader of the [[Red Faction]] walks up to Alec and tells him that whether he likes it or not, he is now part of the rebellion.

| In the [[Dust]] [[Safehouse]], the radio operator can occasionaly be heard saying "Cut the chatter Freeman,"
| | The manual claims that the processing date for the subjects (the main characters) was mostly around the year 2161. However; this is nearly 40 years after the events of Red Faction: Guerrilla. This has never been clarified by Volition, and judging by this error and the fact that the "reformed" Ultor corporation is nowhere to be seen in Red Faction: Guerrilla, it can be assumed for simplicity's sake that the events of Red Faction II are non-canon. |
| This may be a possible reference to Half-Life's protaganist, Gordon Freeman. This is hinted to not only in the name Freeman, but also in that the Gordon of Half-Life does not talk.
| |
| | |
| In the EDF bases, calls for Pvt. Calhoon are made over the speaker system. This is a reference to Barney Calhoun of the HL series.
| |
| | |
| The areas Parker and Eos are named after characters from RF1.
| |
| | |
| In Eos, there is the Hendrix Memorial, as well as Hendrix Hall. Hendrix was a character who helps you (but dies) in RF1.
| |
| | |
| In Eos, there is the body and radio tag of Alias, the hero from RF2.
| |
| | |
| In Eos, there is a War Memorial statue which has a plaque. One of the names on the plaque is Bryan Adams (a singer).
| |
| | |
| In Badlands, there is an old man who constantly reminisces about the good old days, etc. Listen to him long enough and he says "They used to call me Crazy Parker". This could be Parker, the hero from RF1.
| |
| | |
| In Badlands, you will find one of the Martian Rover probes.
| |
| | |
| The "It just got revoked" line may be a reference to the famous line in [[wikipedia:Lethal Weapon 2|Lethal Weapon 2]]
| |
| | |
| There's a glitch at the [[Dust Safehouse]] where if you smash the thing the guy who is lying on his back is welding then the guy gets crushed and the arm he was using to weld flies about madly.
