Hello all, Been a while since I logged in 
I was playing red faction a few weeks back online and couldn't help but notice the large amount of server mods. What is with that! some of us like to use all the weapons. My argument still stays that if you can't play the game with all the features then you lack the skills to play the game. Why mod it to take away your disadvantage? seems kind of pathetic if you ask me.
Any way... this site needs a graphics designer! wow you can SO tell a programmer developed it 
Good to see the community is still alive and kicking somewhat... has there been any good single player maps made in the last two years? what about mods? I've opened up the ol' RED editor a couple of times since I installed the game again... it is tempting as I still remember most of it all. The RED editor has always been fun to use but the game is so limited... that's what held it back... sad really. |

Thats not just your argument but majority of people who debate the matter.. So you're not bringing anything new to the discussion. Considering the game itself does not require any skill I dont see how playing in a modded server is any different.. As for their being a disadvantage, I disagree as It's the exact same for everybody who plays on that server.. |

There are plenty of servers that allow all pick ups, like mine does.
Uh-oh, allergy attack... gonna sneeze... gonna sneeze on my signature space... look out!

Hi NetNerd I remember you from years ago.
Theres a couple of cool SP mods to play Red Doom made by myself, then theres the awsome LEGO mod made by Red Frog. Red Frog has also made loads of cool "client side" weapon mods...
Theres also some cool mods in development... just look at the CDC Section |

Well there's this one I made last year.  I Don't know if you would consider it good because it doesn't have much of a story line and doesn't have any new weapons (it does have some modded ones though ) but it is quite crazy and offers about 1 hour of game play but along with that you need a decent computer. If your computer barley meets RF's requirements your probably gonna lag like crazy.

It's only limits really are some of the events don't work online and you cant have vehicles or bots in multi.. Because there's a way now to be able to go as much over the build 'limits' as you want without RED crashing or it crashing in game.  |

Correction, you can have bots in multiplayer. I've seen it done (by Trigger and/or Beatonator, I believe).
Even though I have no idea who you are, welcome back, NetNerd. |

Welcome back NetNerd85, you are like a reappearing comet that comes around a couple times in one's life time.
I totally agree with what you are saying as far as people disabling weapons, health, armour, amps and invurnability. 
Now if it's a modded server where the weapons have been changed and not disabled, then I disagree then and only then will I stick around to play more than one game.  |

I totally agree. If people suck too much to play the game, dont drag everyone else's fun down with you.
I refuse to play on a server that has HMG, Fusion, AMP, Invunerability or the supers disabled. I even came across one server before that had rail disabled    |

Thank you to all those who welcomed me back 
Cheers for the info. on the SP maps/mods I'll check'em out.
You hit the nail on the head with what I wanted to say Frank. At first I thought it was lag but nope the pickups are totally disabled. If the weapons are modded, fine - nothing funnier than beating someone in their own modded server
Good to see some old faces are still around.
Red Frog must have a thousand maps out by now how about you Frank? last time I came back I think you said you weren't doing them any more.
Bots in multiplayer eh? I've seen it done but they only attacked the server. |
| I left, came back, left, came back, left, came back, left and now I'm back!... okay so I left and came back again! |

Your reviews were too harsh and the reason why I stopped mapping.
Your reviews were honest and pointed flaws that could have been improved. Which is what all reviews really should be like. Give the good and the bad to help out mappers improve their levels. Even though they were sometimes a bit harsh because you might have expect more from a mapper, they were insightful.
The last map I created was a fluke, since I only really did it to test a sky box out to see what it looked like in 3D and then I added terrain, weapons, armor, and jump pads. I tested/played it with a couple of friends and I was told I should release it. I did, but I think you already know about it from your past visit here.

RED-FROG hasn't really mapped for Red Faction but he has done some weapon skins/models and one SP player that he called:
LEGO Modification
He and other members of this site are currently working on a Red Faction mod for UT2004 and the thread can be found here:
Red Faction Mod (MarsWars)
You can see a trailor of the previous version here:
http://marswars.technominal.com/trailer/MWTrailer.htm
I've had the privilege of beta testing 2 version of it and so far it rocks, there are bugs that need to be worked out. Mainly the ability to create a dedicated server. Currently (on the last test) the only type of server you can create is a listen server, which some of you know it's not a dedicated server and it eats up a lot more resources than a dedicated server.  |
