The default melee weapon in Red Faction is a sledgehammer, a surprisingly rare choice given how awesome it is to hit people with them. In the "Damage Control" mode available in the demo, you capture points like you would in many other games - except that you build a tower on the point to secure it, and if there's an enemy tower there, you need to get rid of it first. You can do this with weapons, certainly. You can even do it with the Rhino pack, which lets you break through walls. What happens most often is that you get your sledgehammer out and smash their stupid shit into tiny pieces. This act has a pronounced "Fuck You" quality that has brought me back time and time again.
