I havent given up on FEAR. I still pick it up and play the same level over and over until I tire of dying so I quit.
It's level 06. Im at a part where a Mech? with a rocket launcher just tears my butt up! I hit him with all I have and it doesnt phase him. I've tried everything and nothing can stop him. I cant run past him because he has backup. Im going to break down and find the level on youtube and see how to get past it..
Until then its back to being stuck in MGS PW!
No shame in my YouTube stratguide game!
I finally grabbed F.E.A.R 3 the other day. I got it at Target on the clearance end-cap for 5 bucks. I may fire it up one day.
As you can tell I'm late in responding but there's no shame in checking out YouTube. The real shame is finding out the solution and then saying "that's all"? 
We've all been in that boat at one point.
