I really like the buttons in this patch, thanks to which I can select a given folder. It's very convenient. I love the "client_mods" folder! Next thing is the patch settings - they improve the quality of life a lot. Fullbright characters setting is a must have. Another interesting thing I noticed are the commands. For example, we can spawn a Jeep, no matter which level - just type "drop_entity Jeep01". Great fun! What else? New events in the editor. There are a lot of them, but I like HUD_Message the most. Cool thing if you create SP maps. To sum up, Alpine Faction is the best patch for RF so far!

The new features that have been put into this are fantastic and it brings Red Faction to a slightly more modern feel. The new editor additions are needed things that Red Faction has never seen before from easier player teleports to random events. Fantastic work from the team!

Fresh breeze in bit stale lovely game of ours, a lot of QoL changes, potential for totally new gamemodes /content .

Fresh new look, lots of new features and capabilities and improvements to boot. I really feel like this has modernized the game a bit more since Dash and I'm really excited to see the kind of things people can create with all the new additions to RED.

The future of rf is bright with Goober It has many useful features for both client and server, I for one am happy with the random map rotation and features such as ingame map reviews and pesky screen shake removal With its active development you can be sure there will be new features AND game modes in the future, get with the times and get with alpine!

Goober has built upon Rafahls work to add many truly awesome features! I would go over all those awesome features in this review but they are numerous and I am quite lazy. Just go look up the list of features and you will be blown away!
	Intharth · Sat 25 Jan 2025, 23:56 (edited Sun 26 Jan 2025, 16:02) · Haze202 and 2 others like this User Rating: 👍 Recommended!   This patch is an amazing amount of work not just on behalf of Goober, but Mitzi and nick and everyone else involved with the ideas, the features, the bug testing and amongst all else, keeping Red Faction moving to the modern times Alpine brings the RED Editor much further forward with its advancement in several new events, dynamic lights and more! Whilst users may note the patch tries to call for a virus - this is a false flag, Dash suffered the same issue for many people and similar files are involved, so please keep that in mind that you may need to allow Alpine through your Anti Virus softwares, Windows Defender and/or similar Protection software.
