Do I understand it right - you dont need retail version of it to use multiplayer extension? Why would they do it? Maybe as a promo of FEAR 2?

Anyway, I am gonna try it, it uses Monolith's 3D engine which I always liked (NOLF 1/2 were GREAT games) so it could have good gameplay.

I signed up again under my ISP email address, still nothing.

[roba]

If you signed before it was released, then it was just for spam from Sierra. Now there is another form, which will generate you cdkey before you even finish it. (I got my gmail new mail window after I completed step 1 of 3 in that form)

It came through via a Hotmail account too.

Hmm. I thought I posted a ("Thanks for the link") to this thread the other day!
Guess I can't even hit a "submit" key on screen these days! Fook knows how I will get on with the game eh.

So... thanks for the link then bud.

[Tempus]

I'll try again, still not got anything. Altho I looked at the system requirements.... 1 gig of memory
I only have half that.

When I do this-

I get to step 2, complete step 2 and it takes me back to step 1

[roba]

Yeah it did it to me too, but it sent me code after I submitted step 1 (I got it before I had chance to do step 2). Isnt your spam filter killing it?

[roba]

Btw the game looks VERY good, nice gfx and excellent audio. However it seems my computer isnt usable for new games anymore cos its unplayable on medium settings. I will have to try it on low...
