The one thing that annoys me about this article is the sheer depth in which the storyline is described. I propose a condensed version of the story, detailing the key points, along with the "levels" of the game in the order they are discovered in the game.
I don't think it's necessary to tell the reader:
Eventually Parker makes his way via secret underwater caverns to Capek's undetected research facilities for nanotechnology
Perhaps a more simple approach will suffice:
etc.
There was a MASSIVE error in the timeline, as it said RF took place in 2075, when in fact it took place in the 2158 (since RF2 occurs 5 years after RF, and the date is 2163 in that game). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.241.98.157 ( talk) 19:59, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

I hate to be a "Grammar Nazi", but the Plot section needs a rewrite for grammar reasons. It is full of run-on sentences and other grammatical errors, such as the following:
Hendrix tells Parker that the mercenaries have orders to destroy the mining complex, covering up any proof of Ultor's wrongdoing, Hendrix is killed soon after this by the mercenaries.
That's only one of many sentences that needs to be split into two or three sentences. For example:
Hendrix tells Parker that the mercenaries have orders to destroy the mining complex, which would cover up the proof of Ultor's wrongdoing. Hendrix is killed soon afterwards by the mercenaries.

I am entirely new to the phenomenon and workings of wikipedia. On two occasions I added a link, to the external links section, to a website which I represent. It was with complete innocence that I undertook this endevour. THQ does not support Red Faction. Volition does not support Red Faction anymore either. There is only one premeire website which does support Red Faction and that is the one which I attempted to link to. Do a google search on Red Faction, wikipedia is prominent along with the web site I represent.
Our website offers, for free, advice, solutions and volumes of documentation covering all aspects of Red Faction: running various Red Faction versions on diverse computer platforms, operating cheat free multiplayer servers, making custom maps for single player scenarios and multiplayer maps using RED Editor and hosting the 1.3 version of Red Faction - a community solution to prevent cheating. We have six years of experience with this game and have never endorsed player cheats. Why shouldn't our site have a link here?
So my attempt to link was refuted and I saw this response:

Before I registered here at wikipedia, there was a link in the external links section of the Red Faction article which led directly to a private website run by Red Faction cheaters. I edited that and removed it. They offer downloads which allow these same cheaters to turn multiplayer servers upside down and even crash them. Why did wikipedia allow cheaters to "pimp" their website and then turn around and remove an honourable site link?
As a first time participant of wikipedia I am completely shocked and dismayed that I would receive this kind of gruff and unscholarly treatment.
P.S.: Before wikipedia blacklists the domain, please note, I did not include the website address in question in this discussion topic.

I've added in links to a new encyclopedia page called "GeoMod Engine" where appropriate. I do not know anything about this engine though, other than the basics that are already outlined in the Red Faction entry, so someone else is going to have to provide the knowledge about it. -- OranL ( talk) 21:53, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Should there be details on the communist overtones of the game? I mean, just look at the cover art. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.9.128.253 ( talk) 06:11, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
This page is scattered and loosely formed. The page would better fit an encyclopedic format if it were to be cleaned up.

Pointing out that an FPS game that came out after Half-Life is similar to Half-Life adds nothing of value to the article. Yes, it is a linear, narrative-focused game with a series of set-pieces where people tell you what to do. Games before and after also did this. Was it likely inspired in some way by Half-Life? Probably. Is there an evidentiary link between the two that would add appropriate historical context or relevancy to this article?
Alternatively may as well include "See Also: Unreal" or other games that include terrain modification by the player. 38.104.217.130 ( talk) 15:39, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
