The slow-mo enabled multiplayer for this is pretty fun, for those who haven't tried it. Not sure how popular it is, but I enjoyed the DM the one time I played it, maybe even more than Quake 4.

I'm waiting for them to release the prefabs for the editor.

It's a shame they don't have them out yet, because the F.E.A.R. editor is one of the easiest, fastest editors I've ever used. It trumps UnrealEd in so many ways.

oh no, not another one of these installers that insists on writing to C:\ regardless of how the user's system is set up. :(

seriously, it's lazy programming to make assumptions like that. use space on the system drive, that's all!

Has the issue that F.E.A.R. has with ATI graphics drivers been cleared up yet. The one where you had to rename the .exe file to something else for it to run better?

  I believe they fixed that in earlier drivers. haven't had problems recently on my X800 Pro : Postal
