Has anyone else downloaded it? It's frickin awesome! If you're in a full server it's constant action.. you even spawn in the middle of firefights. They also have two places where you can pick up the multi rocket launcher, and there's another weapon that isn't in the single player demo but I forget what it's called. It's like an upgraded badass shotty. Also the slow mo versions are awesome but it's so hard to get it for enough time to charge it up and use it because everyone comes gunning for you.

I don't, because I already have it.
i have the single player version but it just makes the screen go black then closes and opens up a web page so i don't think theres any point downloading the multiplayer version.
I'll get this now and play it tonight :D

Oh man it's such a crazy fragfest. I just finished a game with 77 kills and 71 deaths. :lol: The only thing that I can't figure out is how to keep your profile loaded so you dont appear in the game as player4 or whatever. :(

Yea SMDM is the only thing I've been playing. I tried CTF and team DM etc but they suck.

I haven't tried those.
I love how the maps are super dark, thats the best thing about it. I love popping out of the shadows only to kill someone with a shotgun or a penatrator. Also this game has the best melee action I've ever experienced. :cool:

After a few hours of downloading, I've pretty much got it now. I'll get on it in a few minutes

MP is meh. It's your standard multiplayer. The guns are all too similar and there is nothing new to the gameplay. It does look good though in massive firefights with debris flying everywhere.

Don't like it that much. I don't play FPS by bunnyhopping so I have to rely on my aim. I tried to take the pistols and just get multi-rocketed to hell. Some of the weapons are a little ridiculous, I don't like how players don't have to use caution when throwing grenades either. I hate the crosshairs, give me a dot mother****er.
I loved this game the first time I played it, but unbalanced weapons kind of take the fun out of it. I've taken the multirocket and noob cannon a few times, and I rack up tons of unrewarding kills.
I like the pace of the game though, I shouldn't judge it until the full game is out and I've played it.

Yea the bunny hopping really pisses me off. That and the super cannon or whatever, I haven't really encountered much multi-rocket launchers because the spot where you get it is out in the open and most people get shot before they can use it. I also hate the spawn killing, there's nothing more frustrating to spawn literally in the middle of two people who are shooting at each other.

On the single player demo, my system just lags like hell. I don't even know why, i have a 2.8ghz processer, 512mb of Ram and a GeForce something or other 256mb graphics card :\

Yeah. I have a P$ 2.6 with 1280 mb of RAM and a Radeon 9000 128mb video card. It can run ok at 1280+ res, but not ok enough to not get raped in multiplayer. I use 640.
Zakath: Once you get the Particle weapon it's over for the next 9 people you see, I try to avoid it unless everyone else seem to be taking the noob weapons. The Penetrator is cool (People get impaled to the walls/ceiling, how ****ing awesome is that?) but because you don't need aim to wreck people with it, it should have a slower ROF I think. I like using the sub machine gun, best gun for the Boom Headshot!
I must admit that I love to see people get rocked by the the flak cannon type weapon, and since it's only god up close it's not as crazy as the particle weapon or multirockets. I sniped someone who was hiding behind the dumpster right in the head with the particle weapon. The wall dehind him had like a 20x20 feet radius of blood all over it. :cool:
The Particle weapon should only have one shot ala The Redeemer in Unreal Tournament. (The coolest weapon ever)
Who knows what will happen a few months after the game is released though.

Even when you do get the rocket launcher, its ****, seriously. It fires SO slowly and is pretty inaccurate so I usually just stray away from it.
The MP repeating cannon is great though, the one thats like a giant shotgun and turns people into explosions of red.

Its your ram, and typically memory doesn't matter that much if its a very old card. So if your card is a couple of years old, then it will lag no matter what.

Aim for a wall or ground beside the guy, it will blow this **** out of him every time. I don't like weapons that don't require you to aim.

Oh no I know, but if you miss, it takes forever to fire another shot. I just don't like it in generally.
If you semi-aim with the penatrator, you usually end up taking down the fools.

You just have to aim at his body though, it's sweet when one accidentally finds the guy's head though. :cool:
I want to use a single pistol, I don't know how though.
I bet in a few months after the game is released, a lot of servers disable the Particle weapon so I'm starting to give some thought into buying this game.

To be fair, this would've rocked if they made it more comprehensive. I really do love and enjoy it and of course, all the weapons are extremely badass but honestly, they should've worked harder on multiplayer---in terms of weapon balance and damage taken.
Armor doesn't exactly help at all, it really doesn't feel like it would matter if one did not pick armor, since head shots seem to be so often.
The weapon balance is very wack, the penatrator should be that special weapon that every one has to run to get it, and every should start out with pistols to pick up some normal guns later.
I LOVE the idea of having most of the multiplayer shrouded in darkness like it is now. The levels are very dark and thats awesome, it gives me a feeling of suspense and its pretty awesome. Hopefully theres darker levels in the finished game.
And for the love of god, I hope they balance the weapons.

That's my biggest gripe with the game. Respawning is pretty brutal too.
Example:an elimination game with 4 people, we spawned within seconds of each other one round. Not to mention the times where I respawned in the same spot I died about 4 times. :-/
Ramsey
10-01-2005, 02:28 PM
Yeah a couple times I spawned right next to a proximity mine. Or sometimes I'd respawn RIGHT in front of a person (not to mention also behind him, and i'd take advantage of it. Not that its not good, but its unfair).
And while I like the idea of taking realistic health, slowing down time or using medkits the way they do isn't exactly realistic :p so hopefully in the full version you live longer.
Also movement is very slow :/

Hell yeah. Once I was at the top of some L-shaped stairs, and a guy was running up them. He bunny hopped right as I shot him, and I pinned him to the wall like 5 feet above the ground. It was ****ing awesome except I was too slow to the print scrn button and got owned. :(

I keep trying to flame the ****in n00bs who spawn camp with the penetrator in a couple of the rooms, but everytime I try I just get spawn raped again.

It lags, disconnects and crashes at the worst possible times for me. Whenever I'm ahead by a lot or on a rampage, it's either 30 second lag,crash or disconnect. :( Is it as unstable for you guys?

I played once for like 20 minutes last night. It was fine while in the server, connecting was kind of bad.
Zakath
10-01-2005, 08:15 PM
I (surprisingly) haven't encountered any lag in the servers I've played in. Occasionally it just freezes while trying to connect to a server, but once I'm in it usually runs fine.

That happens to me too. Lag is pretty uncommon with me, but the game seems to crash to the desktop a lot.

I got so pissed with people spawn camping that I just did it myself and got 10 straight kills in about 30 seconds. I think I'll be mostly sticking to single player for F.E.A.R.

PS Zakath the game is only ten hours long. I wouldn't reccomend just staying in for SP. Its not worth it other than the cool action. I'm personally getting it for both but not just for single player since it has little replay value.
Unless you intend on playing the game over and over.

I'll probably buy it and hope that there are larger maps in multiplayer or maybe they fixed the spawning i.e. don't spawn where another guy spawned 3 seconds earlier. If not I'll just sell it and download it for the single player.

I think that might be the case and there will be no problems with spawning in the full game.

According to the latest issure of Pc gamer, it took them 10 hours to beat the game (they've already reviewed it)
And they rarely ever lie

The funnest thing to do is go unarmed and play CTF. You can take out like 6-7 guys on your way to the flag and back. I got kicked from a game for doing it twice. :upset: Dropkicking people in the face is also hilarious.
I'm not sure whether to get Half Life 2 with CS:S or wait for this game. I'm only buying one.

I played one game of CTF and just ran around killing people, the map was so confusing I couldn't even find either flag. I think I was just running in a big circle. Then I went back to DM..
