Besides RF:G and Freedom Fighters, does anyone know of any other titles that would fit under the revolution/guerrilla genre?

XWing
Rebel Assault 1&2
Dark Forces 1 & 2

Eh... not sure if Mercenaries counts or not. Definitely has a one-man-army feel to it.
-
I think Far Cry (1 & 2, but 1 is better) qualify.

I saw something on Mod Database by the title of "Iron Grip," which looked heavily influenced by Warhammer 40K. Unfortunately, it's available Steam-only.
:(
-
Just Cause and its sequel seem to fit the bill.
-
mercenaries 2

There is that Source mod Insurgency, but it's about as asymmetrical as my handsome, handsome face (which is to say, not at all).
-
crysis is in large part guerrilla. more or less so depending on your play style.
-
Crysis stops being guerrilla fairly early on, and once you enter the temple all guerrilla tactics go out the window in favor of conventional warfare.
-
There are two different things you guys are talking about here, games where the player is an insurgent in the story and games having guerilla-like gameplay. The games in the OP are of the former type, while Far Cry 1 is a good example of the latter.
-
If that's the case, then Nuclear can go back in time and play the other two Red Faction games. You can grab them cheap on Impulse.

How far are you willing to bend the definition for guerrilla or revolution? ;)
From the top of my mind Jagged Alliance I & II. Syndicate to some extend. Commandos - Behind the enemy lines also.
Saboteur might work also for you. I think I saw a title called "Tropico III" in the local game shop too, the player character was called "El Presidente" in a banana republic...
I bet there is a bunch of legendary games I didn't mention here. All from the 90's, they don't make revolution/guerrilla games too well nowadays.
-
A ridiculously-fun little game called Total Overdose is kind of guerrilla-ish in plot...only in the sense that it combines every Mexican-gunfighting/druglord-movie trope under the sun into a single awesome package. :p

Operation Flashpoint: Resistance would fit this genre.
