Freedom Fighters

Freedom Fighters is a 2003 third-person shooter set in an alternate present. The player takes the role of Christopher Stone, a plumber turned American resistance leader who fights against the Red Army that invades and occupies New York City. In an alternate present time, the Soviet Union brings an end to World War II by dropping the first atomic bomb on Berlin, redefining history. As a result, the Soviet Union would never collapse, instead using its newfound clout to expand the Iron Curtain across all of Europe and most of the Middle East. After the Soviets send "military advisors" throughout the Third World and succeed in placing mid-range nuclear missiles in Cuba, they set the stage for the invasion of the United States. Plumbers and brothers Christopher and Troy Stone are on the job in the apartment of Isabella Angelina, the leader of the anti-Soviet group "Warning Against Reds". Helicopters suddenly appear and begin shooting into buildings as they fly through the streets and the apartment is broken into by Soviet soldiers. Troy is taken prisoner by the Soviets, mistaken as Isabella's boyfriend; however, the soldiers leave without finding Chris. He is promptly recruited by Mr. Jones, whom he rescues from a Soviet officer. Mr. Jones leads him, along with a talkative man named Phil Bagzton, to a hiding place within the cavernous sewer system beneath the city streets.
