More On: F.E.A.R. 2 : Project Origin
As firmly promised last week, the F.E.A.R. 2 Armored Front Map Pack is now available for download on Xbox LIVE (560 Microsoft Points) and PlayStation Network ($6.99).  These screenshots are generous with blood smearing, dismemberment, and big, nasty, hopeless-to-fight-against mecha-sized suits of armor.  There's also the four unique character heads to look at which are comprised of Major Dad's Gerald McRaney, Slaw from The Goonies, new Street Fighter midlife crisis Guile -- now with jarhead haircut -- and Bub's Narcotics Anonymous sponsor from The Wire (not necessarily in that order).

 

F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin “Armored Front” Map Pack Now Available

 

Giant EPA mechs and a strike at the heart of Replica soldier territory loom with the F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin “Armored Front” map pack now available for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PlayStation®Network for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system from Monolith Productions and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. The “Armored Front” map pack consists of two maps, Conductor and Decoy, as well as four unique character heads to swap out and is available for 560 Microsoft Points through Xbox LIVE Marketplace and $6.99 USD through the PlayStation®Network.

 

·         Conductor Map: Push your way out of a train yard into the vast and open-ended junction station built around a turntable. EPAs will battle their way through the ground floor, as infantry can choose to either support from below or scale the heights of the station and engage in long-range combat.

 

·         Decoy Map: Put your skill to the test in this full-scale training ground for Replica soldiers! Once a controlled arena for combat exercises, now it is under a full-blown assault for control between Replica and ATC. Watch out for ambushes, and don’t let the pop-up target dummies fool you!

 

·         Character Heads: Four unique heads to customize your character.

 

Also available on May 21 are a brand new premium theme (240 Microsoft Points) and picture pack (80 Microsoft Points) for Xbox 360, as well as a new theme ($.99) for PLAYSTATION 3. “Armored Front” is the second of three robust DLC packs for F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin; the "Toy Soldiers” map pack launched April 16 and the next pack is slated for summer 2009.
