My guess is that F.E.A.R has run its course and sold well, but is near the end of its lifetime in terms of sales. For a company it would be benificial to increase the size of the community behind a top title to increase the potential success of a next title. After all, if you love F.E.A.R - Combat, you are more likely to purchase the next game of the same make than someone who's never played it.

Either way, it's good for us! ;)
 
FEAR singleplayer is rly good. The multiplayer is just ok'ish

Well, I found it to be sort of boring.
Seems like special effects, graphics and spooky atmosphere don't mean shit in a multiplayer shooter :p:
The weapons are also shit at longer ranges, so most of the shooting is done when you run into someone around a corner, after which you chuck a grenade into the distance because you can see some movement in the darkness. Meh.
