Overview

Geo-Mod 2.0 was an entirely new engine originally developed for use in Red Faction: Guerrilla. As opposed to performing real-time CSG operations like its predecessor, Geo-Mod 2.0 shifted focus to enabling physics-based destruction of man-made structures within the game world. Geo-Mod 2.0 uses pre-broken meshes that respond in a realistic manner to physical forces such as stress and kinetic impact (typically from player weapons or vehicles). For instance, a building could be strategically weakened at key structural points, causing it to collapse on enemy forces.

After Red Faction: Guerrilla's 2009 release, the Geo-Mod 2.0 engine went on to power 2011's Red Faction: Armageddon.

The design tool used for developing environments in the Geo-Mod 2.0 engine is CLOE.
