Monolith plans on injecting new life into F.E.A.R. 2 multiplayer next month with the Toy Soldiers map pack, which promises to deliver a new perspective to the F.E.A.R. 2 online experience.

Monolith will begin releasing premium downloadable content for F.E.A.R. 2 in April, including a premium theme, a picture pack, and this Toy Soldiers map pack. The announcement doesn't go into detail as to what the Toy Soldiers map pack is, though the mention of a new perspective might mean they're going to be tossing out a variant on the classic tiny-people, giant living area maps that have had gamers tickled pink since the original Unreal.

Interesting that they'd choose to create new content for what is arguably one of the weakest aspects of the game. I suppose new maps are better than nothing though, right?

Am I alone in thinking that this entire game was fairly mediocre? I could barely finish it because it started to get boring. Or am I just outgrowing games these days...
Nope, the game is boring. Or we are both starting to outgrow games.
I only played the demo but now i might not pick it up. All i know is the demo scared the crap out of me. Its one of those eirie games where i just end up scaring myself.
Lol. I only played the demo of this game, but so far, it looked pretty promising.
Great game with a great story. Can't wait for these new maps.

I will never outgrow games like this.

Completed this today, can tell its been changed just so it can go on consoles, was quite dissapointed with it. Original FEAR was just sooooo much more scary and was a kickass game for its time. I get the feeling they dont have a clue where they are going with the story and the cliffhanger ending was full of fail. Just my opinion.
I found the game a bit strange - it was a good game, but I just stopped playing it after a while.
I skipped this one. Waiting this long and getting nothing but a giant expansion pack for the original didn't sit well.
hmm, weird, i found the Fear 1 to be boring after awhile. Probably after it stopped being scarey.

Now the Fear 2 demo on the 360 looked really nice (not nice enough for me to buy it on the 360 though. fps fail on consoles

So i'm going to do my original plan. download Fear 2 for my PC, if it's good, then i'll buy it, if it's not, then it gets deleted.
I loved the single player for F.E.A.R. 2. The story was probably the best part. But I found the multiplayer very lacking.

Touché

No I felt that it was a fun demo though, never gonna get the full version or "
" it either...

If you want scary games Silent Hill - Homecoming is the game for you guys.
Same thing as the old one but with a visual upgrade(nice) game play seems very same (played Silent Hill 2 before once and the one on PSP).

F.E.A.R. 2 (the real sequal to F.E.A.R. (no extraction point/persus MANdate) is more like another game... or did the technology really advance so fast from:
1* ALMA in (Get to the chopper!!!!)
2* Crash from ALMA's over excitement over your "blood relation"?
3* High tech POWA!
4* Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann...
4^2: The Game...

Either the crash took them years to reach from that height or they simply camped in the chopper with some AWP dude from T-Spawn(de_dust2 FYI)

F.E.A.R 2 is one of my best purchase of this year. Dead Space and all F.E.A.Rs definitly rank up #1 for scary games, an F.E.A.R 2 is no exception and the graphics are great!
Its..... ok. Its not a great game but its not necessarily bad either. Its inbetween I guess. It had its ups and downs.

the thing that I hate about it is the fact the Alma has a face...In 1 she was this, naked creepy hippie and posed like someone out if a Kubrick film. Now she is just naked and a bit more clean....

I found it to be quite an enjoyable game my only problem however is that multiplayer has the potential to be amazing but they wont patch multiplayer. I don't want any ****ing content i want server files and crash to desktop fixed. I also believe that ranked should have all the same features as unranked. Please no content and just fix the game already. Not just talk about a patch for single player.
Graphics were good, story is alright, scary factor is a bit under dead space, more of an action that horror, but warner bros did right imo. i liked the game. lots of blood and gore
Aw I'm disappointed with the general opinion on FEAR 2. It was one of the best games I've played in a long time. For one thing, it runs better than the FEAR 1 expansions on my rig. It is extremely well-made. Only gripe I have is that the graphical style is a little strange to me. This is coming from someone who couldn't stand Bioshock for more than an hour (it was just SO stupid), so I'm probably a minority in this case.
