Which came first ?

Throughout the game, Fettel states that he was there when you (the main character) were born. Assuming that is true, how can he be the second prototype?

Spoiler Tag

I know there's a spoiler disclaimer, but does the initial description of the main character need to tell the ending of the game right there instead of giving a basic overview of him? The information seems improperly-placed. --207.190.229.94 15:27, 27 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

elaboration on systems anyone?

the characters are nicely written, but I'd b happy if someone wrote stuff about it's technical spec. thx

Doom 3 Engine

I am pretty sure this is Monoliths own engine, based off NOLF. Where is the proof this is the DOOM 3 engine? Because it's not. Its a tweaked version of their earlier engine, and is completely stand alone.

Correct, the game uses the Lithtech: Jupiter EX engine. You can see examples of F.E.A.R. on the Lithtech site. All references to the DOOM 3 engine have been removed. - slothman

F.E.A.R.

To the people that keep changing what "F.E.A.R." stands for: It is First Encounter Assault Recon. It says it right on the box. The website confirms this as well. Please see the official site. K1Bond007 01:10, August 24, 2005 (UTC)

Actually, either way is correct. Both the following quotes are taken from the site:

"Vivendi Universal Games announced today that the single player demo for the eagerly anticipated, award winning PC title F.E.A.R.™ (First Encounter Assault and Recon) will be released globally on "F.E.A.R. Friday," August 5th, 2005."

and

"F.E.A.R. (First Encounter Assault Recon) is an intense combat experience with rich atmosphere and a deeply intense paranormal storyline presented entirely in first person. Be the hero in your own spine-tingling epic of action, tension, and terror... and discover the true meaning of fear."

Marketing isn't always correct. They make mistakes. The games intro (as seen in the demo) does not have an "and", nor does the box. That's about as official as it gets. K1Bond007 02:24, August 24, 2005 (UTC)

About the '...Armacham-built gunship transport helicopter...' seen throughout the game... that particular sentence makes it sound like it was a gunship that'd been rigged to be used as a transport. Well, fact is, it's actually both. I have no idea why they chose the helo they did, but it's a Mil Mi-24 Hind, a *Russian* Attack helocopter. Quite real, and it actually *does* double as a transport. Actually, the extra weight and size needed for it to be useable as a transport actually comprise its performance as a gunship, and in some instances can make it a bit unstable. No idea why they decided to use that for the clonetrooper helo, but the model is very detailed and very distinctive, so there's not a doubt in my mind that it's a Hind. Not sure how to work that in though, triple that since my brain's about nonfunctional since I'm so tired. -Graptor

"A significant number of the preview videos contain footage that did not make it into the final game, such as Alma appearing suddenly in the same elevator as the protagonist while the lights flickered." The bit in the elevator actually happens in the Armacham headquarters building, and I might add, it's creepy as heck. -Graptor
