Didn't see a thread for this, but the news of THQ giving out codes on their MyTHQ site means you do not need to preorder to get the demo anymore.

https://www.thq-games.com/uk/mythq/index

Just go there, sign up for an account with all of your normal details (you can leave the country setting as is if you're worried about telling the truth screwing you over), activate the account with the email you receive, and go here:

Click on the PS3 option to get a PSN code that you have to redeem with a UK PSN account, which are easy enough to make. And you'll have the demo to play without having to preorder online or at a store. Enjoy.

This could work for Xbox 360, too, but I'm not sure how XBL handles foreign codes or if you'd need an additional UK gamertag to get it.

The lazy that can't handle the five minutes it takes to do this can wait for the demo to appear next week on the US PS Store.

Go ahead and claim a key since it says they are limited.

You can get a 360 code or a PSN code as he mentioned, just not sure how it would work out for 360 owners because it might be for a foreign region.
 
I snagged a copy last night. I've not played it yet, but the process was as easy as described.
 
I was really pumped for this game before the demo. My cousin, who moved away a few years ago, would always, and I, along with my kid brother, would play the multiplayer on RF1 for hours, non-stop. With the new game promising multiplayer, I'm was stoked.

Then I played the demo and this game turned from a first month purchase into a first day purchase. They've achieved a great feat with this game, I, personally, have never seen such destruction in a game. You can make buildings fall by taking out all the right supports, which is pretty bitchin.

I do, however, fully expect the story to suck, but the multiplayer should make up for it.
 
I dunno about this one, the marketing has really made me lift an eyebrow. First their really horrible "viral teaser" and then they make the demo only available if you preorder the game (acting like their game is as good as Killzone 2). Oh and the fact that I hate THQ... has me really disliking the game already before playing it.

Seems like a few of you are liking it though, so maybe I'll give it a chance. :whistle2:k
 
I really dug this demo. Blowing shit up has never been this fun, and knowing that they construction of the buildings is semi-realistic, it makes you kind of think about how to take things down properly, since they will topple realistically. I'll be picking this game up, definitely.
 
It was actually not that bad although, I had to get used to the 3rd person controls. Also, the axe was a lot more useful than trying to shoot someone in the head. Or if you don't want to deal with it all together just get in a tank and run everyone over.
 
[quote name='DrNo888']Is it me or is the game hard?
I can't beat the demo. Not even sure I came close.[/QUOTE]

I didn't have any trouble. Jump in one of the trucks early on and go forward, running people over, then go hop in the mech. Pretty easy actually.
 
meh, not worth to create a EU account to play some RF multiplayer. I'll just wait for the US demo or just rent the game when it comes out :)

Haha yeah. I figured it out right after I made the post. I was trying to shoot everything like an FPS.
 
[quote name='tenchi']The game is out today. Is anyone getting together a red faction cag multiplayer game?[/QUOTE]

I picked it up from Blockbuster this morning but I won't be on until fairly late tonight playing.

Definitely wouldn't mind trying out the MP though.
 
I really enjoyed the 1st game on PS2. I will give the demo a run though soon. The reviews seem to be pretty positive that I've seen.
 
Loving this game so far, just completed the first area. Oh man, the only thing this game is missing is allowing XMB music or radio stations in the cars and local co-op during the regular game. Still the local "pass-the-controller" destruction mode is very awesome anyway.
 
Maybe someone can clear this up:

It advertises as an open-game world with so-and-so number of missions. If you do a mission, kill a bunch of bad guys and destroy a bunch of stuff, does the AI constantly go after you throughout the rest of the game?

It's like GTA in that you have a 'wanted' level type thing going. You do a mission get the EDF pissed off and they will chase you till you lose them long enough or get to your hideout. You can generally stroll around scott free then until you kill someone, steal a EDF vehicle, go into a secured area, that type of thing.

It is quite cool to see other guerrillas come out of the woodwork to help you against EDF.
 
I'm really enjoying this game. I'm still working on the second area 'Dust'. I keep getting interrupted with taking out couriers or convoys. I think I've read online that you don't necessarily have to do them, but I can't let one get away. ;)

The multiplayer is tons of fun too. Especially if you can team up with a few guys with mics. My favorite is seige where each team takes turns defending/ destroying certain buildings. Feel free to send me a party invite if you see me online. :)
 
Some of the battles towards the end get pretty hectic on anything but casual difficulty. At one point towards the end (wont go into story) there were about 20 - 25 guerrillas fighting with me against 40 or so EDF soldiers runnning around with a bunch of APCs along with 3 tanks and 3 flyers in the air all firing at you at once.

Just finished the single player mode last night and moved onto the multiplayer now.
 
The demo was ok for me, but I saw a map and was wondering if the game was like Far Cry 2; the map looks big with a ton of missions and while I enjoyed playing FC2, I noticed that with sandbox games I have fun with gameplay but if there are a million things to do and travel time slows the pace down dramatically, I lose interest quickly. Is this an issue at all?
 
Can you use rocket launchers to dig holes into mountains?

I use to play RF with a buddy multiplayer and we would dig holes into the levels and see how far we could go and play hide and seek. Eventually, after digging quite a ways, we would run out of ammo or the wall would just "harden" up and as soon as you left it would reset itself.

I thought I heard that terrain deformation is not possible and that the GeoMod2 engine is posed specifically for buildings and architecture ..... but it looks like there's a shit-ton of architecture around.
 
Hey, all...I'm hoping to get some PS3 CAGs together tonight at 10pm EST to play some RF Guerrilla multiplayer.

Friend me on PSN if you're interested.
 
Yeah, good stuff. I enjoyed that Onslaught-ish mode with the nodes. The backpacks add a nice twist to the gameplay, too. I loved stealthing by one of our nodes and waiting for someone to walk by. :twisted:

How many people are playing this online? It would be cool if we could get some CAG-on-CAG games going.

And that reminds me... with all the sound channels turned down except for voice, it seriously sounds like a porno game. :lol: Can't wait for my headset to show up.
