Freedom Fighters rereleased on PC available NOW
- Thread starter Xando
- Start date
Solid third-person shooter where you can order your fellow fighters around. It was unique because some of your actions can impact latter missions, like taking out a chopper early on so it won't appear on a later level.
Oh that sounds cool. Is this release a remaster? Can you use a controller with it?
Sounds like TPS and a little bit of RTS.
Not sure about the remaster and controller thing but it's not an RTS, you direct your fellow fighters directly. Kinda like Brothers in Arms.
If you're young I think I might have confused you further.
Will get it on Steam. I remember playing this as a kid but I've forgotten almost everything about it.
What makes it good?

Never heard of this game but this seems like something I would enjoy playing.
I see third person shooting, NPC allies, and the kind of jankyness I love.

Well I am 30, but this was never on my radar, so I never played it. But I am always looking forward to learn about more games.
Alright I see, that sounds pretty fun. I will probably have a look. € 10 on GoG sounds very cheap too.
Here's a thread that I made about the game not even a month ago!
After Hitman 3, IO Interactive needs to bring back Freedom Fighters
Freedom Fighters for the original Xbox was a gem. It's set in a universe where the soviets are the first to build the atomic bomb, and use it on the nazis to end World War 2. The following decades see the USSR becomes stronger and more influencial, culminating in their invasion of the US in the...

Thanks :D
There are a few things that make me love the game. The main one is the evolution of your squad and the city as the game progresses. I just love how it transitions between the different seasons and your character's appearance changes over time. Each mission is made up of smaller objectives that you have to complete in order to progress. For example, you may need to take a building to get supplies, but there is an attack chopper guarding the building, so you have to sneak to another part of the city to disable the attack chopper while it's grounded and then you can progress. It also has some really fun, huge battles. When you get 12 squad members together and they are just wrecking havoc, it's so much fun.
Shame that it's not a remaster but I'll take whatever I can get here! Maybe a sequel will happen if there's still enough interest in the IP. I'll definitely get this after work today!
Does anyone know if cheat codes were in the PC version in the first place? I only had the GameCube version back in the day, which I sold away like a month or two ago. I'm turning on the nail gun cheat code to stick people to walls in all of its 2003 jankiness if it's in this PC re-release. 😂

Idk how it would play in 2020 but this game was everything to me back in the day. I must have played thru it 5 times from start to finish and I always wanted more, Soundtrack absolutely RIPS as well.
If this is a toe in the water to see if we still want Freedom Fighters 2, I'm saying YES, give me that

CAN YOU FEEL IT?
WEll, that was Kane & Lynch: Dead Men but...yeah.
Around this game's release, I played the PC demo and I didn't like how the gun play felt with a mouse so I went with Xbox and yeah, it's shooting mechanics were definitely made for autoaiming in mind.
I also probably listened to this game's music more so than actually played it.
God, Kyd was just a god during the 2000s.
Not sure if the original had widescreen support, but the launcher let me pick 1080p and everything seemingly looks right. Locked at 60 FPS mind you.
Hehe
Hehe
I seriously put 2 hours into the game already. Leveling up your charisma, to be able to have more soldiers, and moving back and forth across the maps to open up new areas and accomplish your overall goal...is just such a good hook.
Like I said before about making a new game like a real-time XCOM, imagine if you could customize your fighters that have different minor skills and weapons, they can permanently die, there is a strategic layer that is opening up new sections of maps, upgrading your weapons and tool, etc. I'd sure love to see something like that.

I don't believe the original had widescreen support. I played it on PC like 10 years ago and it didn't have native widescreen support. That looks really good compared to how it looked when I played it last.Not sure if the original had widescreen support, but the launcher let me pick 1080p and everything seemingly looks right.

Yeah I'm surprised by the music so far...huh, very interesting.
I just saved the plumber dude, Troy.
By the way, is this game made in Source? It plays and feels like I'm playing an old source game, and that's a good thing.

It's out on Steam now. And comes bundled with the soundtrack too! Under $10 with the limited time discount.
I'm still unclear whether this has controller support - some Steam discussion thread responses I can't really tell if they are being sarcastic or not...

Accrding to pcgamingwiki it doesn't have controller support but I hope that changes on Steam.
One of the most under appreciated games on PS2. I loved every single minute of this back then, so much fun.
Hell yeah, this game rocked back on the Xbox. I did the exact same thing. Around this era, I was choosing the Xbox versions over the PC counterparts. Spiderman 2 the game I'm looking at you.
Oh man! This is awesome. I'm definitely getting this. Loved this game and have looked into getting it for PC the last couple of years, but it wasn't available and apparently it had issues running on newer versions of windows if you had disc from back at original release. Awesome news!
No. Same stuff that made the old Hitman games.Yeah I'm surprised by the music so far...huh, very interesting.

wow havent heard that name in a while. for some reason I thought it was a superhero game that came out around a similar time, blanking on the name of that now though
edit:
yep this is exactly what came to my mind initially, that's the name

As a developer today, FF still remains one of my touchstones for pitching things like nonlinear objective flow and sandbox map design. I honestly can't wait to get back into this. Part of me even wants to replay the hilarious MP on the map with the absolute death trap alleyways that the mounted machine guns can absolutely lock down those choke points.
