Bit of a tough one that HL2 vs F.E.A.R, HL2 was a great a great romp thats for sure. I reckon F.E.A.R will appeal to a more mature audience after a more darker story line. Saying that Doom 3 was a cracking piece of theatre and yet the MP community barely has a pulse. I reckon F.E.A.R will be a great SP game whether it lives on in a MP format is another story, HL2 owes most of it's MP success to mods whether F.E.A.R has the same mod driven community remains to be seen that's why I hope we see more than just DM in a MP capacity.
Not that theres anything wrong with DM, I'll play it till the cows come home if the game is right but it doesn't suit everyone. I'd like to see F.E.A.R have CTF and an Assault mode as well. Given it's dark nature and story line a Vampire Slayer mod with a psychic / slasher / modern feel to it would be cool. Outside of the Sin remakes set to be released via steam with the HLS i'm still waiting for someone to make a decent cyber punk modification along the lines of Sin yet. F.E.A.R could provide a decent vehicle for that, depends.
HL2 and F.E.A.R (demo) at this stage I would say might be equally matched in a SP capacity, depends what you want out of a game. As for MP it's anybodys guess but I very much doubt it will come anywhere near the success HL2 and it's mods have had. You never know stranger things have happened....
