F.E.A.R. Combat has been released! You can grab this free, standalone multiplayer game locally from AusGamers (we've also got a torrent). You'll also need a CD key to play - sign up over on the official site.
anyone else getting ratty performance from the torrent? I've got one seed and 18 peers connected, but not currently downloading anything... i've downloaded a grand total of 280Kb in an hour. :/
I predict there will be a lot of people playing for the next week or so, but the numbers will dwindle pretty quickly. I played when it wasn't free and in my opinion there's just no substance.
There does seem to be a lack of substance, alot of guns reload really quickly and have very little recoil...seems they are trying to encourage spraying a bit.
Also, anyone noticed how when people attack with "Universal Attack" or the fists they look really really weird...
Might just be me.
I'm having trouble with the install saying I need 5 gig free space on C drive.
This has been a problem for me with Battlefeild 2 patches as well.
With Battlefield I modify this reg value: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ProgramFilesDir
to a different drive from "C",but this doesn't work for Fear Combat.
Has anyone had this problem and found a way round it.
Sorted now.
Got rid of a file that previously didn't want to delete that gave me 1 gig free on C drive.
This appears to be enough to allow the installer to get to a point were I could do the install to F drive.
I'm sure the original error message said it wanted 5000mb on C but it appears 1 gig is enough for the temp dump.
See i told you, the punch/kicking thing is extremely weird, half the time it seems you don't even need to aim them.
You just click rapidly and all the other person sees is a guy impersonating a retarded orangutan beating the crap out of them before they die.
This game got boring fast for me, gamers these days are more likely to pick up and play a game which has strong teamplay elements. FEAR seems to lack this, unless someone makes a good mod..
