Red Faction: Guerrilla is a 3rd person, open-world action shooter set on Mars, 50 years after the events of the original Red Faction. Players will take the role of an insurgent fighter with the newly re-established Red Faction movement as they battle for liberation from the oppressive Earth Defense Force. Throughout their fight for freedom, players will carve their own path, wreaking havoc across the vast, open-world environment of Mars, from the desolate mining outpost of Parker to the gleaming EDF capital city of Eos. Utilizing improvised weapons, explosives and re-purposed mining equipment and vehicles, Red Faction: Guerrilla allows players to tear through fully destructible environments in an unforgiving Martian landscape swarming with EDF forces, Red Faction resistance fighters, and the downtrodden settlers caught in the cross-fire. Red Faction: Guerrilla will also feature a robust multiplayer component, including several modes focused on destruction-based gameplay.

Red Faction: Guerrilla re-defines the limits of destruction-based game-play with a huge open-world, fast-paced guerrilla-style combat, and true physics-based destruction.

In conjunction with the recently concluded multiplayer beta on Xbox LIVE, the developers from Volition are looking to the gaming community to create the final achievement for Red Faction: Guerrilla. More than just your average “Shoot X Number of Players” or “Complete X Level”, this contest is all about thinking outside of the box and looking at the new multiplayer game play aspects that Red Faction: Guerrilla brings to the table. Destruction, jetpacks, saw blades; everything seen in the beta is fair game.

The top five (5) entries as decided by the development team will receive prizes, and the winning entry will be made into an Achievement (360) and a Trophy (PS3) within the final game. The winning party will also receive a copy of the recently announced Collector’s Edition for the console of their choice, and one other special surprise.

Features:

• Open World Guerrilla Warfare – You decide who, when, where and how to battle. Utilize guerrilla tactics, improvised weaponry, and modified vehicles to lead insurgent attacks on EDF targets.

• Epic Sci-Fi Setting – Explore the huge, unforgiving Martian landscape, from the desolate mining outpost of Parker to the gleaming EDF capital city of Eos; then tear through the fully destructible open-world environments swarming with EDF forces, Red Faction resistance fighters, and the downtrodden settlers caught in the cross-fire.
