Heroic System

Heroic Stars

Heroics is the name given to the morale meter in Red Faction II.

Description

The Heroics meter plays an important part in the game. Indicated by a green or red star icon, when you perform a bonus objective, you will see a green star pop up on the Hud, this means the player has completed a Heroic objective. When a red star icon pops up, it usually means you have killed a civilian or members of the Red Faction (Commonwealth) - reducing your Heroics meter.

Throughout the game this system takes into account how much of the Heroics meter is completed and changes the voice over on the ending cutscene of the Game.
