Red Faction 2 Coming To PC

by Maarten Goldstein, Jan 13, 2003 7:42am PST

Though the original Red Faction came out on PC and PS2, the sequel has only been released on the PS2. That's going to change though as THQ has announced that Red Faction 2 is coming to GameCube, Xbox and also the PC. These ports will be out by March. As far as I remember, the first Red Faction wasn't very well received on the PC but who knows, maybe it makes one or two fans happy.

no. fucking. way.

I had Win2k when RF came out. The game kept locking up at totally random spots and when I called and emailed Volition and asked about this, they responded with:

'Thank you for purchasing Red Faction. Unfortunately, this title does not support Windows 2000 and therefore we cannot offer any technical support.'

Bah. RF2 prolly won't support WinXP.

I use Left-Alt to stafe right, Left-Ctrl to strafe left. I use mouse free-look so I just look down to move down (like a ladder). I didn't think that my set-up is wacky....maybe it is. Me and my buddies use the same set-up. Maybe it's just our group that uses this set-up.

I'm curious to hear everyone's basic set-up.

I returned RF1 because you couldn't bind the left-alt key (the key that myself and a lot of FPS fans use for strafing right). In the demo you could bind it, but for some very idiotic reason, the retail version wouldn't allow it. duuhhrrrrrrr....

Red Faction wasn't the best FPS I played by long shot, but it was nowhere near the worst either. I finished the thing and didn't feel ripped off by it, so I would probably pick up the sequel.

this was the most frustrating game ive ever played. the weapons were fucking inaccurate as all hell ... look at the grouping on a standard rifle round at half a room away ... i remember stepping out and opening up on a guard a few feet away and not hitting a thing ... then they have uber marksman ability ... annoying

RF1 was a total disappointment, I was expecting the geo mod thingy to be a total revolution and in the end I could only hit some structures duke nukem style (and I really mean it), seeming as scripted as always. A real bummer.

Blashy: RF had a Geo limit of 125 but it could be set lower by Admins, I find it hard to believe you hit the geo-limit in a regular CTF match.

xakmalice: RF ran fine on windows 98/ME/2K/and XP you had/have other problems

rorshack: Geo is set by the map creator, if you play some of the Single Player or Multimaps made by the community you can find alot more Geo-mod.

I bought this game and rather enjoyed it. It wasn't revolutionary but it had enough to set it apart from other shooters and was just plain fun. I enjoyed the single player much more than the MP though.

Red Faction1 was fine.

i played through the whole thing and i enjoyed it.

Lots of people complained about geo mod sucking, no other game has done it as well as RF though. RF2 uses the geo mod a lot more. i read this in a preview of the game. im looking forward to playing it.

I tried RF 2 in the PS2 with a USB KB and mouse, and I realized that less than 640x400 with 15 FPS basically sucks, even with the KB/Mouse. On the PC, I'll wait till it's in the $19.95 range then pick it up.

I just hope they fixed the GEO MOD limit for MP. That totally broke the MP aspect for me.

What good is it to have geo mods when after 72, nothing could longer be geo moded? It sure sucked when you had the flag and blasted a whole through a wall only to find out the geo limit was reach and no whole was made... Totally broke the game for me.
