Given the Nazi's obsession with form over substance that's a glaring oversight. The game really missed out on having a bunch of zeppelins blasting Ride of the Valkyries.

Let's be honest, if we're going to follow Nazi obsession to design weird poo poo, they'd have jet-capable transport aircraft.

Like... rocket-powered C-130s and V-22 Ospreys but with 4 rotors.

Future Nazis is the only timeline I would accept Gyrojets as being a functional, and cost-effective alternative.



No, it doesn't have to make sense, that's why its future Nazis.

The game eats inputs on a ladder. You literally have to stop moving, then press E so that you will slide down.

If you try moving downwards AND pressing E? Nope!

Extremely grim and evil.
Man, the Nazis only took over yesterday and they've already got all their propaganda posters and branded checkpoints and guard booths up. Dudes work fast.
Also, what the everloving gently caress is that pistol design? It's like a Luger and a Mauser C96 had some kind of horrifying flipper baby.

Yeah I was going to say...when did they have time to build all of those D-Day style barricades and tunnels? I'm skeptical that the US built those previously because this game seems to indicate that we stayed completely out of conflict during WWII as the Nazis somehow rolled over everyone including a much larger USSR. So if that's the case those are Nazi barriers, somehow.

I'm so glad I got to play this game when I was younger and had no idea what a good game truly was because trying to play this now would be horrible. Also wow I didn't think the White House mission was so soon, pretty sure we are already almost done with this game. Minus the Bullshit ending.

Pls tell me that there are cheats so that you can play with the MG forever :allears:

The MG, the Garand, and the FG are the stars of the gunplay so far. The Trench Gun wasn't bad either but automatic weapons are always the way to go in these games. Shame that the Mp40 is so awfully designed

Also still lmao at the ragdolls

In the Extras menu, there's a thing to enter codes and, to the best of my knowledge, there are no codes for the PC version. Gamefaqs seems to corroborate this fact, but it could just be because of Gamefaqs :shrug:

If you beat the game, you're supposed to unlock Concept Art, unlimited health, unlimited grenades, unlimited ammo, and double health regeneration.


Problem is, I haven't seen anything but the Concept Art stuff. Is it console exclusive? :shrug: I never owned it on console. Gamesradar has a cheat for Infinite Grenades that I will try to enter once I get back to my PC. (The code is like... 12 characters long)

You, uh, keep saying the Nazis are the good guys. I don't think that means what you think it means.

Also, in the room with the fire environmental kill, you can pick up the constitution as a bonus objective.

Freedom Fighters was surprisingly fun for a shooter game where the protagonist can't aim to save his life.

Are there any games where the Nazis invade the US and you don't play as a white guy? The Nazis were terrible, but they weren't equally awful to everyone.

Sometimes the loser gets to write history. The Confederacy lost the Civil War but won the battle for public perception in the US for decades. Even today a lot of people defend it.

So if you want to unlock cheats and what-have-you, you have to go back to the "Bonus Codes" menu screen, which almost completely changes after you beat the game.


That is good game design.

It also shills a phone line (and how much it'll cost you per minute!), and, unsurprisingly, none of the cheats make the game any fun.

It looks like they took a C96 and gave it the grip of a Nambu and have a 1911 slide horribly clipping through the top of the gun (with a left-handed ejection port).

Seriously, what the gently caress kind of pistol design is this.



It's like it has a Nambu cocking piece below a slide, which is so poorly modeled that it looks like a bigger slide clipping through the frame.

Maybe it's like the Boberg XR9-S where it has a claw that grabs the rounds and pulls them backwards and up into the chamber.



Also the sights are the size of 1950s Cadillac fins and are going to snag on everything.
