You'll need to fill out a form to get a working key, but
I'm already pulling the torrent off of http://torrents.vugames.com/fearcombat_en_107.exe.torrent

Aw hell yeah! I can finally shoot at someone and maybe the bullet will hit them.
More it to well wishes, just thought you monkeys would like a heads up.


Damn, this is gonna catch my graphics card on fire....

Makes SL's download footprint seem tiny in comparison. Which, to be honest, it is.

I have never understood combat in SL.. SL has some great strong points but fighting is not one of them, it is usually too one sided. That said FEAR Multi will prolly kick ass and be a riot. Also check out this wee teaser video of Team Fortress new and improved. LAN party at my place when it comes out.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsTB6N8RuxI

What do you have in your computer? It works fine for me, allways has, even set at the highest settings.

That having been said, I'm not sure but I think this is the first time a major game company has offered its games multiplayer componet for free.

Time to upgrade your computer to at least two years ago's standard.

I managed to get into a game server, my poor wittle old fx5200 is showing it's age.
Puberty for a graphics card is not a good thing.
Time to look at upgrade options.

OMG the engine is so far from sucking arse it ridiculas.. best combat Model EVER!
Zips along on my 9800xt.. np.. once I turn off Soft shadowing that is.. full detail otherwise at 1024x768. In single player I have to turn off Slowmo effects to avoid horrible mouse lag).. MP rocks too on the right servers.. though some maps are far to small and there is an aweful lot of Spawn camping which is just flaw in the spawning system and not griefers in my opinion.. if I had my way Id add a stamina metre to stop the bunny hopping, and a few other weapons.. it is the first online game though that does justice to the hand gun IMO.. you can really kick arse with it once you get the hang of it.. slowmo mode online sucks ARSE..

gonna get the SDK later and check it out.. could be a keeper :D

Well the 5 series card was never very good =(, I know I had one. At least till the 5700 Ultras then it became a decent card.

You can snag a 6800 pretty cheap these days, and pretty soon the 7800's will be cheap too.
