anyone play FEAR multiplayer?

[Fenixgoon]

so i'm playing the FEAR multiplayer demo. i figured i would since FEAR:Combat is being released next week. So, while playing on one of the few servers that actually has people in it. a few players run around using unarmed attack. this, in itlsef, isn't a bad thing. what kills me is when my face is kicked in half-way across the map. seriously, i've had guys kick me and they weren't even CLOSE. not at all. hell, a shotgun blast from where they were kicking wouldn't kill. it's that large a gap, and it's insanely annoying. i have an assault rifle and yet some fully armored, med-pack sporting unarmed guy manages to kick my face in from 50ft away, when i should still have the advantage

for example, it happened to me at least 10 times the last CTF game i played. one time, a guy did a slide attack. we were at an L-shaped corner of a hallway, so i backed up thus putting me out of harm's way. just my luck, i'm somehow hit with an attack that is going in a different direction and is nowhere close to me.:|:|:|

Its probably an exploit in the unpatched demo.

never played multiplayer but plan on checking it out when its released for free. Hand to hand combat should not be overpowered although I ain't sure how powerful it is. If it only takes a kick or 2 to take someone out that needs to be fixed.

i can understand it being a 1-hit kill doing an uber-kick (leaves you pretty vulnerable).. but in the MP demo it's just ridiculous.. people do kick-kills when they're not even close.

it's probably as wazzledoozle said.. unpatched exploit

I used to play the full version of FEAR all the time on MP and it just got annoying. The unarmed attacks were just plain stupid. I stopped playing.

Exactly. When I'm emptying my clip into someone's chest and he just does a slide kick and kills me...BULLSH!T! That's all I've got to say about that. :|

Sometimes the lag can make it seem outrageous when the kick and kill from twenty feet away. I know your frustrations. Play the high speed ToS servers for real fun.

yeah, once combat comes out i'll be able to play on reliable servers. for now, there are like 3 that still have people for the demo, hehe 😛
