Actually... no. And that's a very unusual admission for me to make.
Huh, it came out in 2006.
"F.E.A.R. Combat is a standalone multiplayer component based
on F.E.A.R.: First Encounter Assault Recon, but released
for free, less than a year after the original game. F.E.A.R.
already had full multiplayer options, but this 1.76GB
component allows everyone to join the online battles, without
needing to buy the game. It includes 22 multiplayer maps, 10
game modes, all the weapons and updates, and the ability to
play user-generated content. You only need to apply for a free
CD key. Users of this version can also play against the owners
of the original game. The game modes include Deathmatch,
Slowmo Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Slowmo Team Deathmatch,
Elimination, Team Elimination, Capture the Flag, Slowmo Capture
the Flag, Conquer All and Control."
Apparently the website for the game still is up
https://fearcombat.org/
Wow. I guess someone is still paying the bills. Man, those old company
logos gave me memories!
"During the next years, Monolith, Punkbuster, Sierra
(Activision) and WBGames ended their support for the game. The
Original page of the game stopped offering new CDKeys. This
meant that new players could not play and led to a decline in
the game. With the FEAR Master Server Shut down by GameSpy on
December 5, 2012, the game couldn?t find running servers,
and servers couldn?t be run anymore. "
Fortunately, modders to the rescue again! They've patched the game and
provide the game-files so you can keep playing.
(Queue DMCA from WBGames in 5...4...3...2...)
