    Hi,

    For the first time I played FEAR multiplayer because it was free. Well, after playing for couple minutes, I feel that this game is not that great as I anticipated it. Actually, I think I'll never play it again. Anybody feel same?

    I love it, maybe you went on a bad server? and have you updated to the 1.8 version?

    It depends on the server you play on. Keep experimenting and you'll find a server where most of the players are at the same "level" or "experience" as you.

    I haven't played it in probably 6 months or so, but I used to play it all the time. I loved it to death. What about it do you not like? Keep in mind it is a couple years old now...

    well I tried it once and didn't think it was a bad game at all, so I don't see what you don't like about it. Maybe you just don't like first person shooters in general, or maybe you were just expecting more? I mean I don't think it's as good as like... cs or CoD4 of course just because there's only so many weapons you can get in that game, whereas in other games there's a lot more variety. Of course, that's to be expected though since it IS a free game after all. And I really think that the single player is FEAR's strong point.

    Its horrible, tried it once and that was that.

    It just doesn't feel right at all, too screwed up.

    Good game in my opinion, though a lot of its enjoyment was the - for the time - excellent graphics and sound. Still good mind; just not as 'wow' as it first was...

    it sucks for rigs that are uncapable of playing it. FEAR has one of the best Particle systems of all time.
