Monolith Launches F.E.A.R. 2 DLC
And it features the greatest trailer in the history of gaming. Greatest. Trailer. In. History.
Published: April 16, 2009
Evidently we kinda dug F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, which is a good thing because developer Monolith has prepared one of the greatest bits of downloadable content we've ever seen -- or at the very least the greatest trailer for DLC. Seriously, go watch it (the link's just above this news story under Movies) and you'll see what we mean.
See? Awesome.
If you didn't pick up on it by watching the trailer, the new content pack adds three maps, all of which are played as (wait for it) miniature replica soldiers. The "Toy Soliders" map pack is the first of three planned for Monolith's semi-spooky shooter (the second, coming in May, will add more Elite Powered Armor maps), and, in a concentrated dose of pure awesomeness, it's being offered for free on the PlayStation Store as you read this (also up there for those that want it: a F.E.A.R. 2 theme if you feel like rocking a custom background/icons). The three maps included are:
[FullTilt]
Players battle inside a retro 1970s era pinball machine “Snake Fist” style as they use flippers, targets, spinners and pop-bumpers for cover in fast paced action. The multi-level playfield and authentic sounds set the mood for destruction.
[Cockroach]
Featuring a blood drenched hospital room filled with heart pounding action, players can climb up electrical cords, laboratory equipment and pill bottles in a tightly connected environment.
[Recess]
Players wage mayhem from the top of a giant sandcastle to the cockpit of a toy bulldozer.
Seriously, go watch the trailer if you haven't yet, and we'll see you online.
