This game seriously needs a Sequel

mst3kcrow · 10 months

What I loved about this game is that attacking certain areas would yield different results. If you went after their helipad, they couldn't call in air support.

DeckersDelight · 10 months

I played the shit out of this game.

neil_aran · 10 months

Yes, we need a sequel. As well as an HD remake of the first game with some sort of co-op campaign (that was the only thing that could have made the game any better than it already was).

It sucks how instead of any new Freedom Fighters games we got the Kane and Lynch series instead :(

Artyomic · 10 months

I can still hum the opening theme. The opening video is (literally) the most awe-inspiring intro video I've ever seen.

I still get chills.

It'll be called: FREEDOM FIGHTERS 2 OCCUPY WALLSTREET

Drsmallprint · 10 months

This games greatness came out of left field for me. expected nothing, was taken back by how fun and original it was.

DrunkInPublic69 · 10 months

Wow I can't believe I just seen this post.. I was thinking of posting the EXACT same thing on my way home 10 minutes ago.. Awesome. I simply LOVED this game, I used to spend hours with my friends playing multiplayer creating multiple scenarios and having fun. This is my favorite Xbox game I would have to say, I might just go out tomorrow and purchase it again it was so much fun.

As much as I fell in love with the single player, it was the multiplayer that made me a Freedom Fighter fanatic, when you can constantly hire bots to come fight with you and place them strategically at locations, genius. If you have the chance to play this underrated epic Xbox classic, PLAY IT. If I could find my old copy I wouldn't be typing this I would be playing it right now.

God damn i always thought hardly anybody played this game then everynow and then something like this appears and i want to go and buy this game again.

thatfatgamer · 10 months

Believe it or not, I was playing the game in "my mind" three days earlier. Fixing plumbing, raiding police station, the sewer hideout, etc, etc.

one of the best parts of the game is music too.

come on IO Interactive.. do something!

Funmachine · 10 months

This was published by EA and then IOI was bought by Eidos. As much as I want a sequel I have a feeling their non commitment to a sequel is a result of them not totally owning the rights to the series. I remember in late '05 early '06 hearing rumours of a sequel going into development and then in November of 2007 we got Kane and Lynch. Which had the exact, exact squad commands as Freedom Fighters.

I'm as big a fan as anybody of this game, bigger that most i bet. I absolutely adore it. I get such a heart tearing sense of nostalgia when i think about it that I have to play it very soon afterward. Which is great that the game, almost 10 years old, is still playable, but nothing compares to those memories of the first time I played it.

A HD remake of this game would be amazing, they have a new Engine to work with now (Because of Hitman: Absolution) and thousand of people still love this game for what it was and would offer very little improvements.

I haven't played the multiplayer in years because, regrettably, i gave back my PS2 version a long time ago and the PC version doesn't have a multiplayer option. But this multiplayer could, with a few reworkings, make for a very fun competitive online multiplayer experience.

The soundtrack for this still ranks 1st on my list of game soundtracks, a lot of that list consists of Jesper Kyd, whose music would really forge the soul of the games he contributed too. I don't think there's been a game he's worked on that I haven't thought the soundtrack was outstanding. It never goes unnoticed.

I would happily pay full price for a HD remake of this game, but i would probably prefer a whole new sequel. Containing all the same elements that made this game great. The squad tactics, simple and effective. The Charisma bar, simple and difficulty leveling. Multiple paths in the levels, and levels to tackle in multiple orders so as to defeat the enemy in easier ways: take out their bridges, no infantry support. Take out their Helipad, no air support. Save and recapture their POW's, more charisma = more soldiers to fight by your side. Take out their Supply Depot's, more ammo and weapons for you.

Other things which were small but added to the charm of the game. As the game progressed Chris' appearance changes, he clothes become more ragged, his hair longer. The same happens with the recruits, who dress more appropriately when winter arrives.

Just utter brilliance in it's simplicity.

As long as they leave out that damn sewer level in the middle, it'll be great!

bringingaknife · 10 months

Anybody know where to buy this online for PC? Is it a digital download anywhere?

Howtobefreaky · 10 months

I made an account just so I could say that I support this a great deal. This and Beyond Good & Evil are the unique games from the PS2 era that both really need sequels.

Lightslayer · 10 months

I'll just leave this here... http://www.vgboxart.com/boxes/360/3107.jpg

deciple87 · 10 months

I bought it because I played it at E3 when it premiered there...that and because IO Interactive made it (and I used to <3 them very much). That game... I must have beaten it at least 15 times.

Is there a petition we can make to ask for a PSN/XBL rerelease of this game somewhere?

Drednaught356 · 10 months

Nail Gun cheat was the shit !

chinmusic86 · 10 months

I still own this game for ps2. Just found something to replay until skyrim.

theycallmelogiebear · 10 months

The multiplayer on this game was awesome. I brought this game to a friends house and people actually liked playing it more than Halo.

I would want a straight up retelling of the same story, keep the basic squad control mechanics and go nuts remaking the levels with today's tech

pablomakaveli · 10 months

I loved this game. Really regret the fact i traded it in though. :(

Also the song in the opening sequence was pure awesome.

The soundtrack alone needs a sequel

Fohi · 10 months

Okay, they did apparently. Why isn't it on Steam?!

Rally1 · 10 months

This game is just pure fun, and the atmosphere adds a serious overtone to an otherwise arcady and addicting game play. You truly feel as if you are a rebel.

rexlandis · 10 months

I am usually the RTS/strategy gaming type. On first impression, I thought this game seemed a little simple. But the game expanded and grew while playing, unlike the vast majority of games that remain static throughout. The slight touches throughout added a lot. I don't want a sequel. I want a high end, bad-ass trilogy Mass Effect style.

sbustelo · 10 months

George Carlin's question comes to mind: if crime fighters fight crime and fire fighters fight fire, what do freedom fighters fight?

stevesan · 10 months

Really awesome tactical shooter. Forget Homefront...this was the commie-blasting awesomeness!

kakeman987 · 10 months

I bought this game solely on the fact that i liked the cover, turns out it was one of the best games I had ever played.

MGDJoker · 10 months

There actually was one in production but I believe it was canceled.

Weeperblast · 10 months

I've beaten this game dozens of times. Then I beat it with my girlfriend. Then she beat it solo.

We all beat it.

I tried to influence Eidos to make a sequel when I worked there. Surprisingly, few people there even heard of it.

Is it strange that me and my dad bonded over this game?

Reasonabledwarf · 10 months

The intro gave me chills the first time I played it. It had come with some EA Games multi-pack with Medal of Honor and Black and White, and I was pleasantly surprised that this was on par with those games, if not better.

EsslingenAmNeckar · 10 months

I loved it. Did that development studio do anything as good as this game after FF?

Mudokon · 10 months

I played through this twice because I loved the gameplay so much.

Kane and Lynch was similar by the same company but not as much fun.

Macroxx · 10 months

Such a great game thanks for reminding me going to reinstall right now and play it again before BF3 takes over my gaming time. I think it was developed by the people that make the hitman games if I remember right.

So does Battlefront 2

kurlok · 10 months

YES!

Wafflemonster2 · 10 months

When homefront was coming out I got the jive that it was similar to Freedom fighters but from the first person perspective and against North Korean's, not Soviets but that was completely wrong. But I agree, this definitely needs a sequel! I remember turning on slow-mo ragdoll and screwing around!

ZeusJuice · 10 months

This entire game was amazing.

Crystalyze14 · 10 months

The one thing I hated about this game was that the crosshair wasn't centralised, other than that one of the greatest four player games ever.

I'm so fucking sad my computer won't play it anymore.

I mean the twist was super weak...but yeah real fun game.

[deleted] · 10 months

It will never happen, the PS2 age of creative games will never be seen again it's all about sequels that sell millions of copies because everyone knows their name. Freedom Fighters was a little known game that a lot of redditors like because for the most part we have good taste.

Ceical · 10 months

I used to play multiplayer by myself and capture all the bases on one controller, then try to take back the bases on another controller. When my friends would play me I would always win. Now that I look back on that, it seems kind of sad.

You know what i did to get this game? I signed up for AOL. At CompUSA (yea this was 02) there was some dbag AOL rep hawkin accounts and if you got one you got to pick out a game. I dont remember what the others were but Freedon Fighters was one of them. If i canceled within a month it wouldnt charge my card. So i get home and install the game and it was aweaome. Not long after i called up and had to deal with another aol dbag asking what my interests were and asking if i had searched aol keywords fkr like 'gamecube' and 'playstation'. Anyway those retention jerks are annoying and the game was totally worth it. I think Freedom fighters and max payne are a few of the only games ive beat more than twice.

Oh did everyone know if you beat FF on the hardest difficulty you get to play an extra secret level set on liberty island?

Hiafolks · 10 months

Is this the game where multiplayer was like capture the flag mixed with king of the hill?? If so I only ever played at my friends house but was so fun! Didn't you need to control flag for reinforcements(respawn) and the matches would go on forever!:D

cosmonautsix · 10 months

This game took countless hours of my life away and i can truely say that enjoyed every minute of it, I'd buy the shit out of a sequal

RancorHi5 · 10 months

my buddies and i played the shit outta the multiplayer

Benassi · 10 months

That game was fucking awesome. Me and my buddy when we were younger played versus all the time and just sent out troops to attack each other while we just sat at the base lobbing grenades all over.

TheMakchine · 10 months

Yes please omg i totally forgot about this!

NoSubrannke · 10 months

Absoltely. I loved the multiplayer, and used to get three buddies together to play it all the time. The cover system mixed with the ability to send small squads of soldiers in was such a cool play mechanic.

Tevisrocks · 10 months

YES. I still have this game and play it from time to time. Only if I have 3 other friends though. The squad command system was brilliant, and I always piss my friends off with the sniper rifle lol.

Docc99 · 10 months

Ha! I remember playing this when they found Saddam

empty-pen · 10 months

Me and my friend played this a lot. the only problem was that i had a messed up analogue stick on a madcatz controller. Slight twitch and it would bring up a circular menu if i recall correctly. Constantly plagued by "THAT ONES GETTING AWAY" :'(

whilst on the topic of games that need sequels i think this http://i.imgur.com/AWQhU.jpg needs one

aurahack · 10 months

Unfortunately, I believe EA still retains the rights to the Freedom Fighters name, and IO is now owned by Square. The likelihood of that happening, as much as I would personally kill for it, is almost none. :<

Bonker take over. One of the many memorable things I will never forget about Freedom Fighters.

kingofi88 · 10 months

Upvote!! Beat the game in one sitting, release day. I was so mad i didn't savor the experience. Went back and played through it again the next day, don't usually play a single player game a second time.

HoNgKoNgPh0oey · 10 months

I cannot agree more this is a one they always say no comment on in interviews. If they bring it back this or next gen with multiplayer squads and everything I will go crazy. Also singleplayer left at a perfect sequel point. Was one of the first story modes to truly grip me and not let go

Oh man this was such a solid game. Glad to see it get some love. Beat it a number of times. Wonder if I still have that CD... Kind of a father to all the third person shooters with chest high walls around today. Nothing better than sniping that general and freaking out as the world comes crashing in around your head on that island map. Man, great stuff.

Al-a-Gorey · 10 months

Word, Red Dawn the game. Sequel should have an open world setup instead of level based missions.

TheDark1 · 10 months

Yeah this was sooo awesome. I must have clocked it a dozen times.

icky_boo · 10 months

Was this game any good? I can't even remembered if I played it or not

NovaProspektor · 10 months

I fucking loved Freedom Fighters! I generally get annoyed at "This needs a sequel" posts but this one I completely agree with. There still isn't really anything out there that's like this game, which is a shame because a current gen expansion on what the original did would be great.

Sequel or spiritual successor, I sincerely think a lot of people would enjoy another game like Freedom Fighters.

WanderingSpaceHopper · 10 months

thanks now i gotta replay it again... on all difficulties... with different routes in every area...

Berkbelts · 10 months

Yep I've got a lot of memories too. I still remember playing TDM this one time. I was minding my own business when all of a sudden I got ambushed, but then I realized it was only 1 person on the other team attacking and owning me. So much for an ambush.

Scrumptical · 10 months

I loved the ragdoll physics in this game and the level design. You felt like you really were fighting in the nooks and crannies of New York.

This game....so legendary...wow.

Playing king of the hill of the bases that had the stairs leading up to them around the levels in multiplayer....hours of fun attacking and defending...

Kidney05 · 10 months

I absolutely agree.

newforaday · 10 months

I loved the "YEAH!" sound effect when you achieved something. I wish I could find it isolated somewhere so I could use it as a ringtone or something.

One of my favorite games. It's just so damn fun. It's a genre I'm a sucker for, and there aren't many like it. Control a single character in third person while telling you squad to do things. SOCOM II was also great in this way.

GADBabaganoosh · 10 months

Not on Steam. :( I had this for Gamecube and loved it.

The game was the perfect mixture between realism and arcade. So many cool features, but none of them too complicated or frustrating.
