Did anyone notice the stress test bench mark that is in the options. It is pretty cool and gives average FPS, Min , Max...

The MP version can be forced to 128ox1024 by the same method as SP version

Open "Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Monolith Productions\FEARMPDemo\settings.cfg"in notepad and edit "ScreenWidth" & "ScreenHeight" to whatever value you like. <----Thanks to warcrow, he was the person who told me how to do this for the SP.

Man i was thinking this multiplayer would suck but damn was i wrong!!! the maps are a little small but it keeps constant action and makes up for the 16-player limit. I like all the weapons and i just score 342 on my last game!!!! BEAT THAT!!!! The single player kept my hear pumping like crazy, only one small dilema in stopping me from pre-ordering the game now....will the final release support mics??????

just dl and ran the MP version...even over wireless couldnt beleive the smoothness i got...

just 1 question though...are there already hacks out there for the mp version? i was playing on a CTF server and these doods were just raping everyone...i decided to "watch" a guy and his player didnt even move yet he was on a "killing spree" and guys on my team would be like 3-1 on a guy and he wouldnt go down. I dont want any hacks so please dont pm me...it just sucks if there are already punks doing crap like that...

Damn this game looks like its going to be a keeper. The particle effects and action is so fun.

It runs smooth also.

BTW try going to the programs in your start menu -> sierra and click the "demo configuration utility"

Well, i just finished getting owned for a while in a DM game.

It's not too bad actually, though i was still getting some stuttering, though @ 1600x1200.

It's a little too similar to CS IMO, so i won't likely play it much, but some of the weapons are pretty kewl.

I played for about 5 minutes this morning. First major issue was I had no clue who was on my TDM Team!!! The names above heads are way too small, and half the people on the server were "Player#". I quit and went to work...

Its easy. The lighter color uniforrms are your team. I think that no matter what team you on you are automatically the lighter color team.

CTF is really wild , the weapons are phenominal. The only problem is indentifying teamates quickly, it's very hard for me tell the difference fast enough and from distances very tough.

The skins need some work IMO, but otherwise it is a graphically unsurpassed experience...

I know what your saying about FriendlyFire, but after years of UT training I've disciplined myself to not to.

probably not in the demo but who knows final release may have it. Would be extremely neat with all the hype about the phenomenal A.I.

I've been playing the MP demo for a couple hours now...It's really an awesome game...to bad its so demanding on Hardware...but still..you have to try it to really understand what's it's all about...The screenshots just don't do this game justice.
