This article is regarding Red Faction (Game)

"Run" maps are a style of level for the game. Run Maps were born with the release of Cyrus's "Deathrun". Further releases from Cyrus include Deathrun 2, Deathrun 3, Deathrun 4, Deathrun 5, Deathrun Freestyle and Deathrun4 SE. Many other Red Faction mappers have expanded on Cyrus's original concept over the years.

Details

A run map is a race basically. You have to be the first one to reach the finish. Some run maps may require working together to make it there however.

Mapping a run map comes with it's own little set of challenges. Aside from the general work required to put together a DM map, a run mapper must also think about events, triggers and movers alot more than a regular DM mapper. A big issue with run mapping was the issue with Synced Movers. Checkpoint doors are movers, therefore Synced Checkpoints are the issue. Synced Checkpoints are simply checkpoints that remain open if you join a game after they were already opened. Two main methods have been discovered by run mappers to accomplish this. Ninja and Cyrus have both discovered their own unique ways past this little "feature" in Red Faction. Both methods have been shared by their creators. Because of this, most new run maps have one or the other included in them.
