The Vehicles Of Red Faction 2 News

We take an extensive look at the variety of vehicles you’ll be taking for a spin in the awesome Red Faction 2...
Not only does Red Faction 2 feature some of the most frantic FPS action weāve ever seen on a Playstation2, the game also contains four different vehicles for you to jump in and boost your firepower.
Weāve played one of the levels, which featured you as a Gunner aboard a Gunship in a manic on-rails shoot-em-up. Firstly we had to take down a number of enemy gunships, which provided many eyebrow-raising moments. Having taken these down, we then moved onto an office complex, whilst the pilot rotated around the complex we were taking it down with massive explosions, glass smashing everywhere, and building collapsing, this provided a very enjoyable diversion to the main game.
Hereās a brief run-down of the vehicles that youāll find in the game, remember to check out the screens and the video footage of these babies in action.
GUNSHIP (AESIR FIGHTER 2.0)
This version of the Aesir Fighter takes aerial combat to the next level when compared to its predecessor model from 5 years ago. Designed for airborne combat in Earthās atmosphere, the Aesir 2.0 utilizes a 30mm, 8 barrel SOP-8BG Gatling Gun as its primary source of firepower and can dispense rounds at an extremely high rate of fire. In addition to the 30mm rounds, this craft is also capable of launching high-powered rockets from each of itās left and right ports. These rockets are highly effective against tougher opponents and can easily pierce though even the toughest armour. While the Aesir is rumoured to be capable of flying at speeds up to 400 knots when at full throttle, its enhanced manoeuvrability at lower speeds makes it well suited for urban combat environments.
MINI-SUBMARINE (NEWT-700XS)
Smaller and more agile than the Ultor submarines found on Mars, the Newt-700xs fires the Triton MK1 dumb fire torpedoes as its main source of firepower. Constructed with a titanium-steel hybrid metal and capable of withstanding depths up to 900 meters (2950 feet), these mini-subs are well suited for exploratory purposes and can fare reasonably well in small-scale underwater combat.
TANK (SOP-XE ARMORED TANK)
These depleted uranium-armoured tanks run on titanium-plated treads and are heavily fortified vehicles. What they lack in speed they make up for with firepower. A SOP-6AG Chain-gun serves as the primary weapon, and can discharge the armour-piercing 20mm rounds. The alternate means of fire, the forward-mounted SOP-80mm Mortar Weapon, launches shells that explode on impact. These high explosive mortar rounds are capable of taking out large sections of buildings with their blasts.
BATTLE ARMOR (MECH SOP-MA1)
Designed to compliment Sopotās nanotechnology experiments, the Battle Armour was created to provide Sopotās super-soldiers with a fully controllable and nearly unstoppable personal combat system. Armed with dual Mini Guns (Hyper SOP-9XF), these suits are able to deliver armour piercing shells as well as High Explosive rockets and incendiary rounds fired from each shoulder-mounted pod. These high mobile battle suits are equally devastating to both ground forces and armoured units.
Red Faction 2 is released on November 15th; weāll have a review next week.
