Since it be inception, the Red Faction franchise has been heaped with praise for it be capacity for environmental destruction -- a fact that hasn't eluded the series' handlers. In an interview with CVG, Red Faction: Armageddon production lead Dan Sutton explained, "In Guerrilla there be a kind a moral issue. When ye be destroying buildings, ye thought, 'best I really be doing this?' But in Armageddon we've completely thrown that out 'n we be basically motivating players t' destroy everything in sight."

That quote be surprising in two distinct ways: First, we can destroy everything in sight? So, like, the whole planet? Wouldn't that ruin the game a little? Also, we be supposed t' feel bad when destroying buildings in Guerrilla? We ... didn't pillage that. it be hard t' feel guilty about something when ye're busy giggling 'n yelling for yer mateys t' come check out this totally dope new crater ye made.
