The [[Earth]] Defense Force (EDF) is one of the few elements from the first [[Red Faction (Game)|Red Faction]] that has remained with the series into [[Red Faction: Guerrilla]].

==Red Faction==
In Red Faction, [[Parker]] calls in the EDF to take control of [[Mars]] away from [[Masako]]'s [[Mercenaries|mercenaries]] and [[Ultor]]'s guards. The game ends with the EDF broadcast "This facility is now under the command of the Earth Defence Force. Drop your weapons immediately. All armed personnel will be shot on sight." It is presumed the EDF went room to room shooting or arresting Ultor personnel. One can only imagine a intergalatic mlitary force assault the Ultor facility. The EDF then reformed Ultor and had many of their executives placed under arrest.

==Red Faction II==
The EDF doesn't not appear in Red Faction II, but they along with the Red Faction reform the newly humane Ultor Corporation and they supplied the Red Faction weapons, and declared war on [[Sopot|Chancellor Victor Sopot]]'s government. It is believed the nanotech facility encountered in the first level is an Ultor facility.

==Red Faction: Guerrilla==
At the end of the first Red Faction the Earth Defense Force came in and helped the [[Red Faction(Rebellion)|Red Faction]] beat [[Ultor]] and rid Mars of them. Instead of leaving once the job was done the EDF stayed on Mars and over the 50 years they have gone from being the liberators of Mars to the new oppressors. In fact they are worse than [[Ultor]]. The people of Mars do not have any rights, are beaten in the streets by EDF officers, and live in complete misery. Finally having enough of the oppression, once again the miners have called up the name of [[Red Faction(Rebellion)|Red Faction]] and have started a guerrilla movement against the EDF to push them off the planet and liberate the people. The EDF is the main antagonist in [[Red Faction: Guerrilla]].

Despite having leaders of note, such as General Roth, they are rarely seen in game. The EDF are a largely faceless and characterless enemy. However, this may be deliberate. It is not stated whether the Drones, the body of the EDF, are human soldiers or not. Their very name might suggest otherwise, detracting from their humanity somewhat. Also their sheer numbers might suggest something more sinister behind the mask. Clones, robots? Questions never asked or answered in game, but have been raised in certain reviews.
However, they can occasionally be heard cursing. Firing at them with particularly lethal weapons will even provoke certain soldiers to call Mason a "motherfucker".

Red Faction: Armageddon

2010-06-05T16:15:14Z

RED:

'''Red Faction: Armageddon''' is the fourth game in the Red Faction series.

The new game takes places after the victory of the [[Red Faction]] aganist the [[EDF]]. [[Mars]] terraforming become usustanable and the surface is unable to support life.

The game begins five years after the relocation underground and follows the story of [[Darius Mason]], grandson of Martian Revolution heroes [[Alec Mason]] and [[Samanya]] who runs a lucrative series of businesses based in Bastion, the underground hub of Colonist activity, including mining, scavenging and mercenary-work. Only a few sane people venture to the now-ravaged surface of Mars, apart from contractors like Darius and smugglers who smuggle goods between settlements. Darius is tricked into reopening a mysterious shaft in an old Marauder temple which releases a long-dormant race of aliens causing an Armageddon on Mars.

The game is expected to be released for (at least) the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.

}}The [[Assault Rifle(RFG)|Assault Rifle]] is a weapon available in [[Red Faction: Guerrilla]].

==Description==
The [[Assault Rifle(RFG)|Assault Rifle]] is designed to offer all the benefits of a full-length rifle in a compact design. It is capable of firing fully automatic fire and able to take down opponents quickly and effectively. This is the standard weapon issued to [[EDF]] soldiers.

---

The [[EDF]] [[Assault Rifle(RFG)|Assault Rifle]] is a standard-issue firearm in the military's infantry divisions, specifically designed for at-range conventional engagement an supplemental fire suppression. The [[Assault Rifle(RFG)|Assault Rifle]] fires an intermediate-caliber armour-piercing round with good accuracy at medium and long range. It is also the default weapon for most multiplayer games.

'''Recommendation''': Use this as your standard kill-all weaponry. Aim for the torso and head for maximum damage, firing in controlled bursts at longer ranges to maximize accuracy. This weapon can take down even the game's toughest infantry enemies almost instantaneously if aimed at the head and fired fully automatically.

==Trivia==
*Good to use in Conjuction with a Pistol when in Parker, Dust, and Badlands missions.
*Most Guerillas commonly use the Assault Rifle early in the game.
*It only has 3 clips(40 in clip, and 80 in reserve), so use it wisely.

Nano Rifle

2010-05-06T16:44:23Z

RED: Undo revision 4879 by Mikhail09 (Talk)

[[Image:Ultornanorifle.jpg|350px|right|thumb|Nano Rifle]]
The Nano Rifle is one of the 19 weapons availible in [[Red Faction: Guerrilla]].

==Description==
It is one of the most highly rated weapons in the game, and quite rightly so, as very little can stand in it's way. The Nanorifle shoots matter-eating swarms of [[nanites|nanobots]] that slowly disintegrate anything they come into contact with, be they structural supports or human beings.
---
The [[nanites]] created by the [[Nano Forge]] will deconstruct solid matter, like a wall, in seconds. The [[nanotechnology|technology]] is highly advanced and the [[EDF]] wants it, so keep it safe.

Recommendation: Create a new entranceway into a building or take out a vehicle. Also, hit any enemy with a well placed shot to obliterate them. If you shoot right in front of you at a wall it should make a hole big enough to let you through. You may have to crouch to get through. Destroying things from a distance can be more useful than many realise, as you can remove one wall of a building and bring the rest crashing down on an EDF team approaching you. You can destroy a shield that a [[EDF]] trooper is using by shooting the shield with the Nanorifle, but the trooper will survive. When facing a gunship, try to take out one of the wings, this will put the flyer off center and cause it to plummet to the ground, where it will either explode or disintigrate.

==Upgrades==
These upgrades can be purchased from Sam at any of the safehouses. They increase the rifles effectivity greatly.

Increased Ammo: Allows Alec to carry 10 extra clips of ammo for the Nanorifle.

Effective Nanites: Allows the rifle to instantly kill any opposing infantry, and disintigrate vehicles better.

==Trivia==

When using this weapon against [[EDF]] troops they will react with terror, occasionally pausing in shock to watch one of their comrades dissolve into dust. Mason can use this moment of distraction to remove the rest of the team.

Do NOT use the Nanorifle to destroy a vehicle you intend to blow up with the MOAB! Since the Nanorifle causes targets to "dissolve" rather than explode, a MOAB-equipped vehicle will NOT detonate if destroyed using the Nanorifle. Use standard explosives and weapons instead.

==Properties==
*'''Ammo/Clip Size:''' 5
*'''Primary Fire:''' Semi-automatic deconstructing nanite beam
*'''Alternate Fire:''' Sideways bash
*'''Pros:''' Each shot contains nanites that eat away at matter in a about a 5 foot radius of the epicenter of the hit, deteriorating walls and instantly killing human targets.
*'''Cons:''' Nanites aren't as aggresive toward organic matter (multiplayer)
*'''Faction:''' [[Ultor]]

Red Faction: Guerrilla

2010-05-06T16:44:07Z

RED:

Red Faction: Guerrilla is the third game in the Red Faction series developed by [[Volition Inc.]] and published by [[THQ Inc.]] Red Faction: Guerrilla has been in development for over 4 years as of September 2008.

==Plot==
Red Faction: Guerrilla is a 3rd person, open-world action shooter set on [[Mars]], 50 years after the events of the original [[Red Faction (Game)|Red Faction]] (around the year 2128). 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 (Game)|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]].

[[Image:Red_Faction_Guerrilla.jpg|350px|right|thumb|Red Faction: Guerrilla boxart]]

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.

The game starts out with [[Alec Mason]], the protagonist, landing on [[Mars]] and meeting his brother, [[Dan Mason]]. As they drive through the streets of [[Mars]], a group of [[EDF]] cars nearly crashes into them. This starts Dan talking about all of the horrible things [[EDF]] has done to the people of [[Mars]]. As he speaks, scenes of cruelty are shown, such as death squads and beatings. When Alec and Dan arrive at their destination, an abandoned lab, they spot a gunship flying in the air. The player is then tasked with destroying the abandoned buildings while their brother keeps a lookout. As the player returns to the vehicle, the gunship returns and orders Dan to surrender, revealing that he was part of [[Red Faction]]. When Dan tries to run, the gunship shoots him and Alec. Alec survives but Dan is killed instantly. He returns to Dan's home to find that [[EDF]] has raided the house. When the soldiers see Alec they order him to drop his "weapon" (a sledgehammer). Alec is accused of being a part of the Red Faction insurgents by the commander and is placed under arrest. Despite Alec's protests of arriving today which is responded with the commander saying "I guess you work fast." And retorts that Alec had detonators for the remote charges the player used in the first game play sequence. Alec responds to being a mining engineer and having a permit for the charges, which results in the commander pushing him off and retorts once more "It just got revoked!" the commander then orders the platoon with him to shoot and kill Alec. Before he can be killed [[Red Faction]] members start engaging the soldiers. As all of soldiers fall except for the commander, Alec picks up the sledgehammer and kills the leader with it. The leader of the [[Red Faction]] walks up to Alec and tells him that whether he likes it or not, he is now part of the rebellion.

== Wrecking Crew ==

''Main Article: [[Wrecking Crew]]''

Wrecking Crew is a hot-seat multiplayer game of destruction unique to Red Faction: Guerrilla. This mode is offered as essentially single player full screen gaming, with the option to specify players and accumulate scores while taking turns playing the game.

The PC version of Red Faction: Guerrilla will not feature dedicated servers, instead clients will have to host "listen" servers.

== Area ==
Red Faction: Guerrilla takes place on a section of [[Mars]] called [[Tharsis]]. [[Tharsis]] is made up of 6 sectors.

*[[Eos(City)|Eos]]
*[[Parker (Settlement)|Parker]]
*[[Dust]]
*[[Oasis]]
*[[The Badlands]]
*[[Free Fire Zone]]

In the expansion pack [[Demons of the Badlands]] there is another location Mariner Valley.

*RF:G Official T-Shirt

==Previous Games==
[[Red Faction (Game)|Red Faction]] and [[Red Faction II]] are the two previous games in this series.

==Sequels==
No sequels to Red Faction: Guerrilla have been announced as of yet.

==Trivia==
In the [[Dust]] [[Safehouse]], the radio operator can occasionaly be heard saying "Cut the chatter Freeman,"
This may be a possible reference to Half-Life's protaganist, Gordon Freeman. This is hinted to not only in the name Freeman, but also in that the Gordon of Half-Life does not talk.

In the EDF bases, calls for Pvt. Calhoon are made over the speaker system. This is a reference to Barney Calhoun of the HL series.

The areas Parker and Eos are named after characters from RF1.

In Eos, there is the Hendrix Memorial, as well as Hendrix Hall. Hendrix was a character who helps you (but dies) in RF1.

In Eos, there is the body and radio tag of Alias, the hero from RF2.

In Eos, there is a War Memorial statue which has a plaque. One of the names on the plaque is Bryan Adams (a singer).

In Badlands, there is an old man who constantly reminisces about the good old days, etc. Listen to him long enough and he says "They used to call me Crazy Parker". This could be Parker, the hero from RF1.

In Badlands, you will find one of the Martian Rover probes.

The "It just got revoked" line may be a reference to the famous line in [[wikipedia:Lethal Weapon 2|Lethal Weapon 2]]

There's a glitch at the [[Dust Safehouse]] where if you smash the thing the guy who is lying on his back is welding then the guy gets crushed and the arm he was using to weld flies about madly.

If someone wants to finish up the plot that would be great. [[User:John95|John95]] 20:23, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Can someone confirm the bits about Gordon Freeman? [[User:Digi|digital_ruler]] 16:41, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

I can't confirm it, but assuming that it is true... it's awesome [[User:Goober|Goober]] 23:37, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

I think I'll fire up the 360 and check it out. I agree; it would be awesome! :) [[User:Digi|digital_ruler]] 16:41, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

they do say it, but there is nothing at all that even points to it being gordon freeman. it could also be a reference to the whole apprentice system with apprentice, freemen, master, in guilds, such as the masons, i think that we are all just people who also play half-life so we associated the two

Damage Control

''This article is regarding [[Red Faction: Guerrilla]]''

[[Image:Reconstructor.jpg|350px|right|thumb|The Reconstructor]]
Damage Control is one of the gametypes found in Red Faction: Guerrilla.

==Description==
Damage Control is similar to the Onslaught gametype for Unreal Tournament 2004 as well as the King of the Hill gametype found in many games. It consists of 3 control points or capture points around a map which must be destroyed and then reconstructed with the Reconstructor (shown right). Once the control point is rebuilt, your team owns it. Points are given for the amount of time the point is held. The objective of the gamemode is to aquire the set amount of points before the opposing team. In this gametype, frags do not gain you or your team points. To aquire points you must hold control points.

==Developer Blog==
''This '''Developer Blog''' section was written by '''Luke Schneider''' of '''Volition Inc.''' ''

The original design for Damage Control comes from the days when David Abzug (now a Lead Designer on a different project) was leading multiplayer. Back then, it was just known as our version of the classic King of the Hill. The basic premise was as follows: Targets (small structures) spread throughout a level give teams points after they’ve destroyed and repaired them. That premise has not changed, but the details of the mode materialized and evolved over a long period of time.
[[Image:Damage Control Forum2.jpg|350px|left|thumb|Damage Control tutorial]]
The first and largest obstacle for the mode was actually getting repair fully working and stable. Our destruction system is very complex under the hood in order to bring (potentially) thousands of objects to life at once without melting your console’s CPU and GPU cores. Adding repair on top of that posed many technical and design issues, along with the issue of making the reappearance of a structure look awesome.

Once our repair feature was stable enough to test the game mode, we had to look at how the [[Reconstructor]] worked since it would affect the types of structures that get used as targets. We experimented with a couple different configurations along with many ranges of settings before settling on the [[Reconstructor]]’s current balance, including an overheat feature instead of traditional ammo.

Damage Control uses 3 targets for every map, but we briefly experimented with other numbers as well. With only 2 targets, the teams tended to trade targets but neither team seemed to really be winning at any one point. With more than 3 targets, the action became too spread out while defending a target becoming less and less important, particularly with a smaller number of players.

For the interface, we were having serious issues in play tests with players not knowing who controlled each structure and when structures we’re repaired or destroyed. The team-colored object outlining was something we had planned for a while, but it didn’t become functional until a month before the Beta was submitted to Microsoft. That helped immensely, but we reinforce it with messages at top of the screen, colors on the target list, and voice messages as well.

Damage Control was shaping up nicely at this point, but we still had to balance the scoring and encourage teams to do more than grab two targets and stand pat. The scoring was really a matter of making sure the score never surpassed 1000 points (we only have 3 digits in our scoreboard). So we give a point every 2 seconds for each target held. In order to encourage teams to go for the kill or have a better chance of a comeback, we double the points while you control all 3 targets at once. Even holding them all for a few seconds can make the difference between a win and a loss in a tight match.

And finally, the name for Damage Control came from Clint Bundrick, another RFG Designer. Sometimes naming game features can be difficult and controversial, but “Damage Control” was fairly obvious even though we had many great potential names to choose from.

Even with the evolution of Damage Control having come so far, we’re still examining further balance and general issues with the mode. These include the [[Rocket Launcher(RFG)]] being overpowered in the hands of a skilled player, voice being used too often on some levels, some target structures working better than others, and new players not knowing how to use the [[Reconstructor]].
