Squads!

I just finished Red Faction and I must say that it is one of the best games I've played recently. The only thing I didn't really like, something you guys should add, was the lack of AI squad mates. I'm not sure how well the RF engine can handle this, but even something as simple as Half-Life's system would be great. Controling a team of GTA Marines as you take over a heavily defended Vasudan transport would be A-1 super!

Another small request. Zero or Low G enviroments! Remember the kick-ass cutscene in FS where the marines drift through the Shivan transport using magnetic boots to walk normally? It would be quite amazing to do that your self. Zero-G was pulled off very well in Heavy Gear 2, but agian I doin't know much about the capibilities of th RF engine.

Zero G in RF would be much like swimming in RF.

It would have friction due the nature of water unlike actual space outside of a ship, but I think that the water could be tweaked not to have it... I'll play with some negative values.

Generally ships at the time of FS:FPS have artificial gravity, but many transports, civilian craft, fighters, etc. do not have this luxury...

We may just have to say all ships have gravity for the sake of gameplay, or we can give all surfaces the "can climb" flag that was used for ladders in RF.

You are going to need AI teammates, I think..I don't know if that's possible, though. Volition's games seem to have a decidedly "Alpha One" feeling, RF included..is there any way you can add teammates?

FS2 doesn't have the "save the world" feeling.. Summoner does though.. meh.. Summoner also probably has the best storyline of any game ever, though.
