The game: The main character of the game is the ordinary plumber Christopher Stone, whose brother Troy always told him about the disturbing trend and a possible invasion, but Chris does not care which. He believes in no invasion. But when soldiers kidnap his brother, shoot helicopters in crowds and destroy tanks the city, he lived through an extreme change. He joins the resistance and will distribute a freedom fighter who tried jointly with other restive citizens of New York a bigger, better-educated and merciless army with guerrilla tactics from New York. It is a story developed through cohesion, love and betrayal. Christopher Stone itself is the most feared enemy of the Soviets, in the media known as Freedom Phantom "(Freedom Phantom) .After each completed chapter come the news of the US-Russian stations SAFN with Tatjana Kempinski.
Tactics and AI: All the fighters in the game are controlled by a good AI, which depends on the level of difficulty. The enemies seek cover, climb over boxes, throw grenades and even coordinate attacks together. Likewise, they sometimes run away and stormed forward. Influenced they are about of officers who force them into more aggressive approach. In addition, there are snipers and later soldiers in heavy armor that can withstand even under heavy fire.
The comrades are initially stationed firmly and shoot at incoming enemies, but can be standing around all freedom fighters recruit. Will limit the amount of recruitable soldiers by Charisma Points which are a kind of counterpart to experience levels. For the fulfillment of different mission objectives, which almost all are optional in the game, there are Charisma points. When you reach a certain amount, you will receive an additional slot for a comrade. So you can first check anyone, soon two fighters and ultimately an entire 12-man (and woman) team. These are only the three following orders, "Attack" and Defend controlled ". You can press and hold to give the whole team a command or specify him by sight and foresight. So you can specify about the direction in which comrades storm, where they approximately position take or that they should simply follow But you can also say exactly on the target, which attacked a soldier or which box to be taken as covering matter what command you are:.. The comrades are very intelligent and as long as one does not command them in the middle of a enemy mass to storm into machine-gun fire, or in the sight of a sniper is relatively large their chance of survival.
Interesting is the behavior of the soldiers with the environment. They lean against walls, climbing on crates, ladders and through windows and even jumping over holes, they throw themselves at grenades for cover. Dying comrades do, however, only very rarely, because you can almost always revive with a first aid kit, but they are relatively very limited and therefore there is sometimes no way to make comrades again ready to fight. They themselves often die within a few seconds, so far as the use of cover is essential.
