Warlords first appeared in the PS2 version of Red Faction 1 as a deathmatch map, and later in the PC release of the game as a CTF map. The original PS2 version of Warlords was included in all versions of Red Faction II. Much later, Warlords was revisited, and entire reconstructed for inclusion in Red Faction: Guerrilla.
Warlords has the distinction of being the only map in the Red Faction series to be featured in some form in three out of four major releases.
History
Red Faction 1
As noted above, Warlords made its premiere as a DM map in the PS2 version of Red Faction. Here, the map was a popular choice for split-screen multiplayer and bot matches. This original incarnation of Warlords featured two neutral-colored bases inside a large canyon with an empty middle section.
