This article is regarding Red Faction

"Run" maps are a style of level for the original Red Faction. Run maps were born with the release of Cyrus's "Deathrun". Many other Red Faction mappers have expanded on Cyrus's original concept over the years.

Details

A run map is in essence a race in an obstacle course. To win the map, you must be the first to reach the finish. Some run maps may require teamwork to reach further challenges. Most incorporate some form of checkpoints.

Creating a run map is similar to creating a DM map, but a run mapper must also include more complex event and trigger systems than normally seen in standard DM maps. Since by default Red Faction doesn't sync the position of movers upon joining the server, late joiners would often find checkpoint doors permanently closed. In later years, various event systems were devised to work around this problem, but with the advent of Pure Faction 3.0, mover states are synced even for older maps that did not include workarounds. PF3 also brought in support for teleporters which have enjoyed lots of use in modern run maps.
