"You're running around your school , carrying an assault rifle . The sound of your foot steps can be heard by anyone , but you know that by walking stealthy you waste time and energy. Sooner or later you'll be found anyway. Here , cunningness , tactics and agility is your savior. You know that you weapon can definitely take down your opponent from extreme ranges , but its accuracy depends on distance. You proceed to explore the school cautiously , knowing that a would-be sniper is hiding somewhere . Or perhaps someone is preparing an ambush with his flamethrower. You arrived at an intersection . Which way? Up or down? You stood still for a moment to glance the surrounding. The school is too quiet to cover the fact that it's an arena. Coast clear. You moved on. Then suddenly , you realized someone is pouring bullets onto you . You duck for cover and seek to know where it's coming from. The enemy stops firing . He can't see and hit you now. Time to explore from where you are. Target spotted. He seems blur. You drew out your precision rifle and aimed at his head. Just as you're about to fire , he launch a rocket right at you . You duck for cover . But in this game , cover won't last for long. Soon , the rocket create a huge hole in where that wall you used to hide behind was. You seek more cover. However , the longer you hide , the more your enemy gets to reveal your position. He's tearing the whole place apart . A large hole was now in the floor. Its big enough to fit yourself. You made a desperate decision . As soon as your enemy reloads , you jump into the hole and snipe his head in a split of a second. You won again. " Ever wish you could recreate the above scenario in your school? Well , I'm doing just that by using the RED , the editor for one of the most revolutionary games (according to its makers) in FPS ; RED FACTION. This time , instead of the usual levels where your mission is to run around and kill each other , you can now play a deathmatch while at the same time tearing the place apart . This is because Red Faction maps have destructible terrain , which means you can use any explosive weapons (ONLY explosive weapons) to alter the map . For example , using a satchel charge , you can blow a big hole in the ground , floor , ceiling or wall in whichever place you want. The more satchel charge you detonate , the bigger or deeper the hole. Multiplayer deathmatch will never be the same again as the level is forever changing because explosive weapons are used all the time and no two fights are the same. Let's take a look at 3 pictures of Block A taken in-game.
The first picture shows Block A when it's structurally completed. The walls is still a dull gray color and the building is still standing tall.
For this demonstration , I've used the cheats to get all the weapons. The one you're looking now is the rocket launcher. After I rained the front portion of Block A with a barrage of missiles , it crumbled to the ground. There's no way you can get into the classroom located on one of the floors It's now a bird's eye view of the entire Block A which is now leveled to the ground from the fighter. As you can see , I've used up all the available rockets. To the right of this picture is the driller , which also do its part to bring down Block A. Couldn't believe what have you seen? What you have just seen is what the Red Faction is capable of ; destructible terrain. Above is just to demonstrate of what the editor and the game is capable of. The real "stuff" has already been constructed. I started off with the school canteen . It's smaller , has less windows , and doesn't require a big space to fit it into the game compared to a full size block .It has lighting , tables , counters and sinks , just like the real Seafield canteen. Its drawback however , is that its dimension and roof is different. The four screenshots below shows the canteen from four different angles. These screenshots were taken before I build the sink and other features.
It's almost like real ....and yes , you can blow it up with explosive weapons! So far only the canteen has been build. The other parts of the school MAY be constructed later but I don't know when.
