in 2 hours exclusive on Gamespot, anybody waiting for it ?
 
:cheers:
Here's to hoping they made the multiplayer not suck!
(I'm such a delusional optimist. :( )
 
This will tip the balance for me - the Multiplayer Beta was rather bad, so I want to see how much it's improved. If it has, I'll definitely be buying it.
 
omg !
thanks !

Edit : wow never knew that 3DGamers is part of IGN
i can download from the subscribers servers ^^
 
Just came on to post about this, then saw thr thread, then was gonna say about 3D gamers....beat me too it! pfft.

gamershell.com is also doing it now ,YeY, i added something =)
 
Damnit, I am still at work. Anyone play it yet? How does it play compared to the beta-test? Is the performance better than the SP demo?
 
just played it, dm, was great fun, i can see it getting old quick though, the map i played was factory which is a variant of the sp demo, ran well but loadtimes were longgggggggg, longer than the beta and demo, 2 gigs of ram time it seems....ran about the same as the betas, the betas ran better than the sp for me, the sp would stutter for me alot...guess its coz mp doesnt need all that cpu power for the ai etc....

comp: 3.2ghz p4
x800xt
gig ddr2

res 1024x768, 2aa, 16af, vsync off, soft shadows off(really a ps3.0 option tbh) the rest maxed...the odd stutter when i shot a new weapon/ new sound loaded etc...

the weapons are great, there are a few special weapons around the lvl that are extremely powerful but cumbersome and have limited ammo..

graphics, particurly particle effects are awesome, the smg still feels 'laggy' when firing...

overall good...:) but not a major diff from the betas...

if the mp is as good as the sp, or its worth playing for a long time without getting bored then I shall add it to my "October buying list"
 
Yeehaw, just ordered my new Asus Nforce 4 mobo last night, and a pair of eVGA 7800 GTX cards that i've been longing for since the dawn of time, :) and a AMD X2 Dual core 4800+ :-D Im so excited, my heart is skipping beats.

What settings will I be able to run F.E.A.R. on with the setup mentioned above? (Parts coming end of week.) Im hoping I can pull of some AA and 1600 x 1200 But I dont know, any suggestions?
 
Downloading now. Ill be getting fear for sure, no matter how bad the mp is. I believe the sp will kickass.
 
I played it for 30mins, very nice game. I ll wait for more review.

I meant wait for gamespot, ign, and gamespy to review the final product,

more than 9.2 must buy

less than 9.2 = ehmmm warez :D :E
 
This felt better than the MP Beta crap imo. And it feels like they have optimized it now, runs much better. Almost no slowdown for me.
I'm looking forward to the SP more though.
 
great MP demo

i've played it for 2 hours, it's real fun

it runs like the SP demo. not like the beta crap
 
Meh, got killed over and over while trying it out. I am not a big fan of twitchy DM gameplay. My old fingers aren't quick enough for that anymore.

It looked quite nice, the whole thing seems to have been optimised, but I wasn't utterly impressed. I am looking forward to SP a lot more.
 
The MP demo isn't really that good. The weapons don't feel right for MP, nor has it tried to do anything that hasn't been done a number of times before. The only different thing is the Slow-Mo, but it doesn't really make that much of a difference to gameplay, it basically just slows everyone's walking speed and ROF. It's got nothing that Quake III and Quake IV doesn't do better.

Because we've all played Quake IV.

Considering the Quake IV multiplayer is almost identical to the Quake III multiplayer it doesn't really matter does it?

At least the Quake III does action orientated twitch deathmatch right, F.E.A.R. tries to have fast paced multiplayer gameplay but something's gone wrong somewhere down the line.

I totally disagree , for some reason kill's are atleast 10x cooler.. its got that crunchy feel, and I like the weapons.. in terms of the particle effect's and sound. Its very origional in subtle ways like that.. which is what seems to be so appealing.
 
One of my coolest kills in FEAR MP ever (counting out my favourite kill in BF1942 :p) was when I came to a room, filled with 2 enemies shooting at some player from my team. I just rushed in, did that slide kick on of the guys so he fell to the ground and died then took out my shotgun and blasted the other guy into oblivion. It looked really cool in motion. :E
 
FEAR MP rocks!!! I've been playing for hours and hours now! Can't get enough!
 
Is it me or do people really get pissy when you use nothing but use unarm combat to kill them?

I haven't seen any yet, but I've seen plenty of guys complaining about the Penetrator.

The Penetrator is fine by me. Maybe it could fire a smidgen slower but it's not NEARLY as bad as the Plasma Rifle was in the MP beta...that was downright lame.

I'm an all unarm combat person and during beta and this demo, I've had people calling me names for instant killing them constantly because they don't know how to stop me. Really sad how hardly anyone uses the unarm moves in the game and only run and gun.
 
I really like the moves you can do, and I try to use them whenever I get in close contact with an enemy, especially the slide attack. It’s more enjoyable to kill them with an move imo.:)

Did they change it much in this demo comparing the beta or left it unchanged? Didn't play the beta especially much.

In the SP demo I enjoyed slide tackling the soldiers' bodies watching them fly against the wall.

As for the Plasma Rifle...I don't think they changed it at all but in the MP beta it was a weapon you could choose to start with and was a 1 hit kill no matter where you were hit. Now it's probably only found on the level somewhere.

Haha, reminds me of a great moment in the beta : I was playing for 3 hours straight and was incredibly pumped. This guy slides at me, I jump over him and shoot him in the face. He was really pissed after that :D
 
If this release isn't that much different from the BETA, it is shite. Can somebody tell me otherwise?
