Some Copy Pasta:
Freedom Fighters is a 2003 third-person shooter video game that is set in an alternate history. The player takes the role of Christopher Stone, a plumber-turned American Resistance movement leader who fights against the Red Army that invades and occupies New York City. It was developed by IO Interactive, using a modified version of the Hitman 2: Silent Assassin game engine, and published by Electronic Arts. IO Interactive have mooted, but not confirmed, a sequel entitled Freedom Fighters 2.
Freedom Fighters is a third-person shooter, in which the player navigates through the streets of New York while fighting the Soviet forces. The game also contains squad-based elements, having a charisma meter. The player gains charisma by performing heroic deeds in the resistance movement against the invading forces, like capturing a base or destroying vital supplies. The more charisma that is gained, the more squadmates the character can recruit, including leaderless guerrillas and wounded Russian soldiers, up to a maximum of twelve.
Freedom Fighters uses a simple method of controlling recruits in battle. In the game, the player can command recruits by giving them simple orders such as "follow", "attack", and "defend", but in most situations, they take care of themselves. Given the terrain of New York City after the initial invasion, the Resistance usually stations its soldiers in covered positions like craters and buildings.

I've recently started to replay this game, since I had many fond memories when it just came out. It's actually pretty damn fun, and quite challenging. There's a lot of strategy in the games when it comes to conquering the enemy, and may battles that seem overwhelming can be turned around if you can find the right vantage point. The complexity grows too, since each objective changes the other areas in a given chapter. For example, blowing up a bridge in one area will effectively cut of reinforcements to all the other locations, and blowing up a heliport will ground the Soviet forces.
Overall it's a great game, and if you haven't played it yet, I'd recommend it if you can find it. Was released on PC/PS2/Xbox/Cube.
That was a cool game
My friend had it for the gamecube and it was fucking awesome
Nostaglia...
Played this game with my friend over and over
dem' soviets!
I didn't even mention the multiplayer. While it wasn't really fleshed out, it was a fun distraction. The Goal Was To Capture and Hold the Point in the middle, but there were also 4 bunkers you could capture which would resupply you with bots to command. It was fun to lead attacks on the other player, and try and ambush them.
remarkable game.
they really need a 2nd one.
Amazing game.
The singleplayer was brilliant, but it really shined when when you played multiplayer with three other buddies.

Amazing game. I have been looking for this game for some time now, with no luck.
This game had some epic soundtrack produced by Jesper Kyd, which also did the OST for the Hitman series and AC series.
Great game.

samesies
Game was really cool when it came out. I wish they'd make a sequel. I'm not sure why I liked it so much, maybe it was the atmosphere or the gameplay or the story, but it was awesome.

Multiplayer was... well "epic". Sweet memory's.
One of my favorite games, too bad im still stuck in the sewers
I thought it was kind of short, but other than that, pretty good.
One of my favorite PS2 games. :) I'm going to go find out where I can buy this for PC.
Best alternate history game ever, in my opinion
I don't even remember the ending of this game, ffffff. All I know is this game kicked soooooo much ass.

[sp]You take back Liberty Island, and kick the Russians back to the Motherland. The main character laments over the whole thing being futile because they will come back again. Oh, and your brother dies[/sp]

That is what I remember, but it has been a while
Funny, I was just thinking about this game the other day.
The tone set by the music and snow was great. I loved the TV station mission.

All I remember was frustration, but that only made it so much more satisfying to take it over. From my memory, it was a very lengthy battle.
