Full MP F.E.A.R. To Be Released For Free - OUT NOW!

Medi Packs on mouse wheel was worse though, roll the wheel and use like 5 medi packs would save you from pretty much anything but instagib weapons (forgot their names).

Sounds good, bring it on! So what's in it for the publishers of this - why give it away for free? Sorry if thats a dim question

In addition to previous comments... people who download the free multiplayer who have not played the original game may go out and buy it if the multiplayer makes them curious about the single player content.

So the clock is down to 00:00:00:00 and has been for 13 mins. No download link yet though...

Ciba · 17 Aug 2006 at 11:23

I want my FEAR multiplayer

ScoobyDoo · 17 Aug 2006 at 11:43

Good marketing ... NOT!.. countdown timer reaches zero and what happens...

Nothing! ... although i dont suppose we can complain when its going to be free.

Ricochet J · 17 Aug 2006 at 11:48

Countdown is down! Nothing is happening! It's an April fools joke!

Ciba · 17 Aug 2006 at 11:50

I'd give it another 5 hours so that its released for when the yanks wake up.

Ricochet J · 17 Aug 2006 at 11:52

But what about us on the other side of the pond?

Who's feeling an OcUK deathmatch when this is up and running? (i've never ever played, infact, seen FEAR in action!)

Im feeling it, shame I'll probably get about 2fps.

Btw is this recognised as Fear by Xfire?

Fubsy · 17 Aug 2006 at 12:32

any idea how big the download is going to be? because my up to 8mb connection only downloads at 60kBs

Booner! · 17 Aug 2006 at 12:51

whats taking so long i have been waiting for that clock to finish for a while...bit of a useless clock really...counts down even to the second but is completly inaccurate to when combat WILL come lol it should be "combat is coming eventually!"

but i guess its free so i should stop complaining!

nemtizz · 17 Aug 2006 at 12:53

Thats the US version. different times.

Arsey · 17 Aug 2006 at 13:31

we should still be able to click though? not on fileplanet either :confused:

Scythe · 17 Aug 2006 at 13:40

I noticed there was no download link too. I was looking in everything for it. I'll download it to test my connection when its upgraded in a few days.

Borden · 17 Aug 2006 at 13:50

Where do you actually signup for your keycode? It says on their site ' consumers simply go to www.joinfear.com and register to obtain their free, Combat keycode' yet there's nowhere on that site where you register, apart from the email newsletter.

well no because it's not actually released until a bit later in the afternoon. The countdown timer is a bit rubbish and doesn't take account of timezone.

Also I think you may have to sign up to the email thing to get a key to play. Not sure.

l33t_p3t3 · 17 Aug 2006 at 14:40

Glad I'm not the only one that doesn't see a download link yet.
It will probably run like crap one my PC tbh, but worth a try as it's free.

Also I signed up to the email alert thinking that it would give me the keycode that I read somewhere is required, but it looks like it was for the Vivendi newsletter.

z0mbi3 · 17 Aug 2006 at 14:45

The e-mail is just to message you when its out. Nothing to do with serials or the like.

PyroboyUK · 17 Aug 2006 at 15:23

This is like a way to promote FEAR as a game. If people enjoy it in multiplayer they are more likely to go out and buy the full game to enjoy the fantastic single player mode.

Fubsy · 17 Aug 2006 at 15:31

But the singleplayer wasn't fantastic, i found Doom 3 better, and thats saying something.
