==Plot==
==Red Faction 1==
Red Faction: Guerrilla is a 3rd person, open-world action shooter set on Mars, 50 years after the events of the original [[Red Faction]]. Players take the role of an insurgent fighter named [[Alec Mason]] with the newly re-established [[Red Faction(Rebellion)|Red Faction]] movement as they battle for liberation from the oppressive [[Earth Defense Force]] (EDF - allies in the first [[Red Faction]]). Throughout their fight for freedom, players carve their own path, wreaking havoc across the vast, open-world environment of [[Mars]], from the desolate mining outpost of [[Parker(Settlement)|Parker]] to the gleaming EDF capital city of [[Eos(City)|Eos]] to the Earth-like region known as [[Oasis]].
*[[Multiplayer Maps#Red Faction|Full list of Red Faction 1 multiplayer maps]]
'''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.


Utilizing improvised weapons, explosives and re-purposed mining equipment and vehicles, Red Faction: Guerrilla allows players to tear through fully destructible environments in an unforgiving Martian landscape swarming with EDF forces, Red Faction resistance fighters, and the downtrodden settlers caught in the cross-fire. Red Faction: Guerrilla also features a robust multiplayer component, including several modes focused on destruction-based gameplay.  
When Red Faction was released on PC, with it came a new and improved CTF version of '''Warlords'''.

In revisiting this map for play in CTF, the developers made a great deal of changes from the original PS2 DM version. In this incarnation, the bases are color-coded to each team, and are much larger than in the original. The addition of bottom and top tunnels, as well as the center bridge also make the map significantly more interesting to play.

Warlords is a Red Faction series map that features two opposing bases nested in a canyon. 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.

  • 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 capture the flag map.
  • The original PS2 version of Warlords was included in all versions of Red Faction II.
  • Much later, Warlords was revisited, and entirely reconstructed for inclusion in Red Faction: Guerrilla.

Red Faction 1

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.

When Red Faction was released on PC, with it came a new and improved CTF version of Warlords. This went on to be arguably the most popular CTF map in the game, and is still a popular choice for public servers and competitive matches today. In revisiting this map for play in CTF, the developers made a great deal of changes from the original PS2 DM version. In this incarnation, the bases are color-coded to each team, and are much larger than in the original. The addition of bottom and top tunnels, as well as the center bridge also make the map significantly more interesting to play. The bottom tunnels of Warlords connect the ground and second floors of each team's base with the respective locations in the opposing base, and runs straight under the center of the map. The top tunnels link the top sections of each base, and also connect with the bridge in the center of the map which houses the game's superweapon, the Fusion Rocket Launcher.
