F.E.A.R. Combat is the multiplayer component of the game F.E.A.R. First Encounter Assault Recon. It was made available for free download on August 17, 2006. The game is a Monolith Productions development, with a multiplayer designed to hold up to 16 players at one time. It contains several new maps and a 100% multiplayer platform to be played online. F.E.A.R. Combat offers three playable modes: "Deathmatch," where every man fights for himself, "Capture the Flag" and "Last Man Standing." Two more game types, "Control" and "Conquer All," were added in a patch released later in the year.
