It's dead, Red Faction is dead.

Tons of plot stuff was done for FS:FPS, plus perliminary models for characters and weapons, but we never got past that stage because the RF community was drying up real fast with UT2k3 coming out.

IT IS DEAD!

I HAVE SPOKEN

A word of advice, if there are 3 posts saying it's dead, don't post asking if it's alive.

Translated, read the thread BEFORE you post a message.

FS:FPS might be dead but RF lives on. And if people would be as charismatic for FS:FPS as the people for the Iron Sun mod are, we could definately get it kicked back off and this time finish it.

I, once a year ago or something, asked about the progress of the mod and it seems the models of the different races weren't functioning for in-game play up to that point.

do they still have people hyper railing while flying through walls, ceating in RF brings a whole new meaning to the term God mode.

also moding for RF is the worst form of masacism

Funny, I always thought that auto-erotic asphyxiation was the worst form of masochism.

Heh, that's more or less a pasttime, or is most of the time kept on a server specific to the activity. I haven't seen many in recent games, at least.

Ummm FreeSpace: FPS never really got off the ground.  Plasma and Ace and co did some really neat concepts...some sketches, Bobboau even did some models, and lots of ideas were passed around back and forth.

Thats about it.

It was dead a couple of years ago...

Its funny, FS: FPS died a long time ago and the website was never updated ever again.  BWO is still alive, website stays updated, and yet people ask me all the time if the project is dead or alive.  Doesn't make sense :D

Pretty much the project died in the pre-production stage.

Though RED is easy to learn, it's not as powerful as other editors and of course modding for Redfaction is a nightmare.

Other then some models Bobboau did, and a lot of outlining, all that was finished were a few area mockups including the outside of a GTA military base.

I got my filthy hands on your vasudan, but apart from that, don't think you publicly released anything.

Yeah, usually multi games have closer moderation because of all the new utilities that have been pumped out. For instance, there's one utility that allows (chosen) people who aren't the dedicated server host to ban people's IP addys from the game if they are doing "the usual."
