Unused Text

The file Red Faction II\pc_media\All_Levels\All_Levels.packfile contains levels for the game, which also includes associated text for a given level. As with the previous game, this text contains German and French placeholders.

Excerpt from the first mission's Objectives, which contain German/French text that you won't see:
