Isn't Freedom Fighters just some FPS about killing communists or something? Is there something I missed? Heard some people praise it but assumed that was just gamers sucking ass and not the game being good.
It's basically the plot of Red Dawn but in New York City. To fight the Soviets you recruit insurgents, raid different buildings, create infrastructure, and eventually do large-scale attacks. It was like real-time XCOM. Granted I played it as a child and have no idea how it aged, but at the time it was a great shooter with an interesting metagame.
That does sound interesting. I thought it was just some linear COD thing.
It's arcade-y, but I remember it being closer to a tactical shooter like Brothers in Arms than a set piece rail shooter like COD.
