This article is regarding Red Faction
The Red Faction Client Console can be opened in every known version of Red Faction (besides the International Demo) by pressing ~ after loading up the game.
The Red Faction Dedicated Server Console is the box that pops up when you start a dedicated server. You can type commands directly into it.
Various client and server console commands can be used to perform such action as chatting, changing rate, and changing level, just to name a few.
It should be noted that pressing [Tab] in the console will complete a partially-entered command, and pressing [F3] will display the last command entered.

International Demo
No method of opening a console in the Red Faction International Demo has been found as of early 2008.
Multiplayer Test
There are two extra console commands available in Multiplayer Test. Otherwise, all commands are the same as 1.2.
Extra commands:
- debug <command> - Parses the entire command entered, displays some variables from it. Largely useless, probably just for a Volition bugtest.
- multiplayer_cheats - Claims to enable/disable cheating in multiplayer, however the variable is only used in the console code, and does not actually enable/disable any cheats. Useless.
Worldwide Demo
See version 1.2 command list
Version 1.0
See version 1.2 command list
Version 1.1

Pure Faction Beta 4 (Unofficial, Unreleased)
The complete list of commands for Beta 4 is unknown, due to the fact that Beta 4 has not yet been released. For the time being, it should be assumed that the list of commands will not change from the other Pure versions' commands.
