This update is for v1.07 of F.E.A.R. and brings it up to v1.08. This is a required update. This update will not work if your copy of F.E.A.R. has not been updated to the v1.07. This update can be used with retail and digitally downloaded copies of the game.

      Update Notes - Multiplayer:

    * Added ability to pick up and reuse Proximity Mines and Remote Detonators that were thrown by yourself.
    * Limited support for Spectator Mode in objective (CTF, Conquer All, and Control) game modes.
    * Added code to improve spawn with buddies system in team game modes. Will be noticeable only in Stockpile and custom maps.
    * Player kill/death messages are now shown in both system and chat messages. Player kills and deaths will only be displayed in the system message area.


      Update Notes - Single-player:

    * Fixed bug where trying to start a game for the first time after switching from multiplayer to singleplayer would give a "Disconnected from Server" error.


      Update Notes - Global:

    * Added widescreen support.
    * Fixed bug where FEAR.exe would not always start when switching from FEARMP.exe to FEAR.exe.

Zomg widescreen support.  About time they implemented that.  I just changed one of the settings file to force the resolution to widescreen in the past.

Yuh, this is interesting....

Seems that FEAR for the PC, can cause some issues w/ crazy framerate drops -- around 150 frames, possibly -- when a gamer has a USB KB and mouse. (http://news.com.com/8301-10784_3-9740960-7.html?part=rss&subj=news&tag=2547-1023_3-0-5)
