The PC version of the F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin "Armored Front" map pack from Monolith Productions and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment is now available for free download via websites including Steam.com, Direct2Drive.com, and Fileplanet.com. The "Armored Front" map pack consists of two maps, Conductor and Decoy, as well as four unique character heads to swap out.

• Conductor Map: Push 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: This full-scale training ground for Replica soldiers is a true test of skill! Once a controlled arena for combat exercises, now it is under a full-blown assault for control between Replica and ATC. Players must watch out for ambushes and avoid getting duped by the pop-up target dummies.

• Character Heads:  Four unique heads for use in customizing characters.

"Armored Front" is the second of three robust DLC packs for F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin; the "Toy Soldiers" map pack launched in April and the third pack is slated for winter 2009. "Armored Front" launched recently on Xbox LIVE Marketplace for Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PlayStation®Network for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system.

In F.E.A.R.2: Project Origin a routine assignment to locate the president of Armacham Technology Corporation in connection with an unfolding hostage crisis turns into a desperate battle for survival after an explosion decimates the city and unleashes Alma Wade, the terrifying supernatural menace at the center of Armacham's highly classified Project Origin. As Alma's power swells out of control, special forces Sgt. Michael Becket and his squad must battle through an apocalyptic landscape of shattered buildings and buckled streets in search of clues for how to destroy her. The more Becket learns about Armacham's secret experiments and reckless agenda, the more he begins to suspect that he's somehow linked to the crisis and may be the only one capable of averting total disaster. F.E.A.R.2: Project Origin is rated "M" for Mature and is available now for Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION 3 and Games for Windows®.  For more information, please visit www.whatisfear.com.
