F.E.A.R. 2




New F.E.A.R. 2 Maps Coming in April
Planned DLC includes "Toy Soldiers" map pack among other goodies.








Monolith is getting ready to hop on the downloadable content gravy train with new F.E.A.R. 2 goodies coming in April. Kotaku reports that the planned content will include a premium theme and picture pack, for those of you who want to see a creepy little girl all the time, along with a new "Toy Soldiers" map pack. There's no word on what the new maps include, though the name seems to imply tiny little parapsychology commandos. Perhaps accompanied by very small ghosts.
Many are noting that it's strange to center the new downloadable content around the multiplayer modes, which despite good marks for the game in general, were seen as fairly generic. "For some, the disappointment of the game will be that the features that give F.E.A.R. 2 its identity disappear in the multiplayer modes," Garnett Lee said in our review. He called the multiplayer "fun to play for a change of place," but nothing that could replace Call of Duty 4. We'll have to see if the Toy Soldiers pack introduces a fresh take on the multiplayer modes to make it stand out more.
