==[[Red Faction International Demo|International Demo]]==
No method of opening a console in the Red Faction International Demo has been found as of early 2008.
 
==[[Red Faction Multiplayer Test|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.
