I don't think you need a copy of the original game to play F.E.A.R. multi-player... I believe that it's a free stand-alone game, like Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory ;)

....so... get downloading it and play!

I played the single player all the way through. As with all the other current FPS games, there really isn't anything astonishing about it. I quickly grew tired of the repitition.

I just downloaded the MP yesterday. gonna at least give it a try before I dismiss it completely.
