The mulitplayer in FEAR was actually surprisingly fun. Won't take you away from CSS, BF2, or the likes but you'll notice they put some work into it. Very good for free now I'll be able to play with all my friends.

Wait...do you have to have the FEAR single player in order to play the multiplayer or is the multiplayer completely free--no single player campaign purchase required?

Yes. You get the entire multiplayer for free. :) I'm guessing they want to build a fanbase for the sequel.

anyone here think this free MP could be a good model for future games? that way the devs can focus on a killer SP game, and then release MP for free?

How'd you know? You don't what kind of CPU and ram he has, so can't really say for sure...

I was running it on a 6600GT when it first came out. Also had a S754 3000+ on a poopy mobo, 2x512mb in single channel with really loose timings, and on a 5400rpm hard drive (no idea why I had it)

pffft, my friend's 200m intergrated graphics can handle it all low (handle as in 20-30fps). You should be fine.
