F.E.A.R. Combat is now available, offering the multiplayer component of F.E.A.R., Monolith's first-person shooter, as a free download, though a key freely available here is required for installation. Word is: "F.E.A.R. Combat is the complete multiplayer component of F.E.A.R. and includes all the updates, additional official maps and additional official game modes all in one downloadable file. F.E.A.R. Combat users will be able to play against the owners of the retail version of F.E.A.R. as well as the other F.E.A.R. Combat users." This makes for a download that tops out at over 1800 MB, available on the F.E.A.R. Website and mirrored on 3D Downloads, 3D Gamers, AusGamers, Computer Games, Filecloud (registration required), FileFront, GameArena (registration required), Gameguru Mania (registration required), Gamer's Hell, and Worthplaying.

They're probably giving it away to drum up interest in the expansion pack that's coming out soon. I don't think you go through the trouble of all of this just to drum up a few more expansion sales. I think they're fishing for the cult-like following ET captured by doing the same thing years ago -- in order to drum up interest/sales in a sequel. However, my opinion is that just because its free doesn't mean people will play it. ET had novel elements, and though I haven't played F.E.A.R., I don't believe it was anything near revolutionary...at least not in its multiplayer aspect.
