F.E.A.R. Online seems to be more of a Left 4 Dead-styled online multiplayer game than a true MMOFPS, as the game will feature several team combat modes spanning over ten maps, and will include F.E.A.R. 3’s Soul King mode as an option. As is true with the F.E.A.R. IP, the levels will have graphic bloody horror, ”packed with grotesque details such as still-twitching bodies hanging from meat hooks and messages smeared in blood.”
The game will focus on the war being waged between Armacham Technology Corporation (ATC) and the elite F.E.A.R. team. As one might expect, the dreaded Alma Wade is heavily involved. The game will also feature co-op scenarios that take place during the events of F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin. Up to four players can team up and fight for their lives against both hostile Armacham personnel and hideous monsters lurking around every corner.
