Only your ultimate goal is to overthrow the government instead of pursuing shameless materialism.



Speaking of ruskies, played the Freedom Fighters demo; it sucks. Just another shitty mission based 3rd person shooter. The "revolutionary recruiting system" is as shallow as "recruiting" NPC's in halflife: you go up to person, hit the use button, and they follow and fight with you. Oh wait they'll only follow and fight the Reds with you if your charisma is high enough, so it's like, deep, totally. Thing is, your charisma goes up as you complete linear, primary objectives, so what's the point? Also, every potential Freedom Fighter is already walking around Soviet occupied New York openly toting an assault rifle while standing next to star-spangled themed graffit spelling out "Freedom". Why wont they join me to fight the Russians, what the hell else do they do with their free time?

Why not just leave people out as possible NPC's if your seemingly plot-dictated charisma isn't high enough to recruit them at that point? Oh yeah and the NPC's yell out embarassingly stupid battle cries.

The game may be better in other areas, but if that's the case then they should have made those areas the demo. Stupid
