RED's architectural style

Reliable Excavation Demolition is a holding corporation founded by Redmond Mann, specializing supposedly in "demolition operations". In reality, from behind a myriad of sub-fronts, it secretly controls half the world's governments, led by an evil female overlord known only as 'The Administrator'. Beneath the convincing exterior of their bases of operations can be found computer racks, satellites, rockets and missile installations.

The other half of the world is just as secretly controlled by their rivals, the Builders League United. Each corporation administers its half of the world with a multi-disciplined army of paper pushers. For any problem lacking an obvious bureaucratic solution, mercenaries are contracted to address the situation through a massive application of force. Conflicts between the two companies began as land disputes between their original founders, though the current reason for their ongoing combat, with both companies now under the thumb of the Administrator, is unknown.

RED and BLU share an intense rivalry, with nearly all encounters between the two quickly escalating into brutal and often fatal violence. Inter-company friendship is also strictly forbidden by mercenary contract. Despite this, the RED Demoman and the BLU Soldier became fast friends after meeting at a projectile weapons expo. However, once this was brought to the attention of the Administrator, she pitted them in deadly competition with a mysterious new weapon promised to the winner, twisting their former friendship into a bloody war.

RED favors a more rustic style of architecture than BLU, and while its dress code is rather liberal in terms of clothing, it is required that employees adopt a red color scheme for easy identification.

Trivia

  • Although the acronym RED means Reliable Excavation and Demolition, they are usually the team defending themselves from BLU bombs.
  • Valve has often depicted players using PCs as being on the RED team, as in the Mac update trailer. This is probably due to their more blocky and rustic style of architecture.
