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.

I believe we actually have the client up for grabs before the official site, which appears to be suffering from some technical difficulties :)

The site's being flooded but some people are still managing to get it. I was surprised to see it here so quickly, thanks for staying up so late :)

I assume you got it in advance?

downloading now!

Yeh, VU were on the ball for this one and had it out to mirror partners the day before.

nice! i somehow missed playing any fear so this should be good

I've downloaded it at a few mb/sec earlier when there were less peers; what client are you using?

What, do you want a medal or something?

ugh my 512k connection will take a long time :(

downloaded it in about 45 minutes, lurv adsl2. Been playing it abit today (testing the servers of course) and it's alright, some weapons are just stupidly overpowered

i'm using azureus, 2.4.0.2, via webUI. Meh, it's probably my home connection, i might just grab it from work... (heheheh)

jesus, why on earth do people still use azeurus. :/

sup trog.. i got this game sitting on my desk ? should i install it or not ? worth playing etc.... its called fear first encounter assault recon... im guessing its the first one.. should i play or not ?

yeah its awesome for a free game, good fast action but no real depth imo.

its so chaotic with constant slo-mo goin on and s*** flying everywhere in tight claustrophobic maze maps. not really my style but still good for a quick f*** around.

I like azureus better, always works great for me and I can run it under either windows or linux and get the same interface

azureus killed my baby

Thanx to AusGamers.com for the fast FEAR COMBAT download.

One of the seeders is the same server you downloaded it from so you just need to wait for it to kick in properly. A definite benifit of the torrent, especially for a file this size is that it hashes the entire thing so you don't have to worry about a possibly corrupt download.

Or if you did get a corrupt download from http, you could use the torrent to repair it.

I use azureus for the extensibility.

warning this game is pretty ghey

agreeing with scooby

its alot of fun for the first 15-20mins. So damn hectic and you need a decent PC so that you can max everything out. The fun is in the fast paced, s*** flying everywhere, running through smoke and explosions action. Soon as that passes, it grows boring pretty fast.

Yeh i thought it was crap..... i had more fun with soldier of fortune I and II multiplayer!!

The only game-mode worth playing is SlowMo Team Deathmatch and it is heaps of fun.

I highly recommend you try it before uninstalling the game :)

Bah! Came down corrupted on 2 download attempts. Hit up the PIPE FTP DL and it worked a treat.

Worked fine for me, even after stopping and resuming multiple times (MD5 verified too). Though I can imagine how annoying it is downloading that much twice without success.

ummm... install to a drive with more than 5gig?

Umm..... get a clue?
5 gig will be the temporary space it is using while extracting the 1.8 gig exe before it installs the game.
Try finding what dir windows is using as a temp drive and change it.

Asifnt download it once and if it's corrupted, use a torrent to fix it. Torrents rule for fixing corrupt downloads, because it only re-downlaods the corrupted data

Ok, so holstering your weapon and punch/fly-kicking people around the map gets you 3 times as many kills.

Something is wrong there.

Welcome to F.E.A.R.

I'm in agreement with the Unarmed being way over powered.

I just installed and had a quick go of DM. After the first 5 mins I found out how to holster my weapon (looking to use a med pack?) Then some guy ran around a corner and I hit fire out of reflex and he died. After that I just ran around punching people, seems to take only 1 hit?

seems to take only 1 hit?

It seems that way.

I also managed to kill two guys with a single fly-kick.

they must be ross powered fly kicks

unarmed is overpowered
