Everyone loves free stuff, and when it's connected to one of the best PC first-person shooters around, all the better. F.E.A.R. Combat, which will shortly be released for download - for free FOR F.R.E.E.! - features the full multiplayer component from Monolith's horror-shooter, including all updates, additional official maps and additional official game modes that have been pumped out.
F.E.A.R. Combat is out on August 17. To prepare for action, we're told, interested parties should go to www.joinfear.com and register (which we're assuming means sign up for the email alert/newsletter that'll announce its arrival) to obtain a free Combat keycode. Once the file is available, install it, enter your keycode and, in the words of the dear departed Ron Pickering, away you go.
F.E.A.R. Combat features:
10 Multiplayer Game modes
19 Multiplayer Maps
12 different weapons
Punkbuster support for anti cheat support
The capability to download user generated content

Slowmo Team Deathmatch (STDM): Slowmo

Conquer All (CA): Is a form of Capture and Hold, where 2 teams compete to capture all the checkpoints. In order to win Conquer All, one team must gain control of all the checkpoints simultaneously.
Control (CON): Control is also a form of Capture and Hold, but the difference is that the scoring is different. Holding any checkpoint will accumulate points for your team, however capturing all the points will not end the round. The winning team is determined by the team with the most points when time expires or if one team reaches the max points.
