ActionTrip chats with Lead Designer at IO Interactive, Mads Prahm as he talks about Freedom Fighters, their tactical team-based action game:

    AT: Judging from what we've seen at the E3, Freedom Fighters appears to offer a refreshing concept. What are the challenges that come with the team-oriented gameplay?

One thing is sure: you have to think and act fast once you are under fire
