As players of the original FEAR (F.E.A.R.) may know, the game offered free multiplayer gaming to everyone through their Warnerbros website. You would register to get a CD / Game Key and then download the game to play it. While the game is still available for download at the official website, the registration part to gain a free CD key is broken — displaying a HTTP Status 500 internal server error.

This…sucked. Thankfully, a solution is now available! FEAR-Community.org offers CD keys for free. Just register to get one. Note though that these particular CD keys are meant for SEC2 servers. What does that mean? When you join the game lobby and try to join a room, look for maps prefixed with “[SEC2]”. Your CD key will work with those.

Alternatively, I would IMAGINE a Key Generator would work in order to gain a CD key for this game. The multiplayer is free after all, though keygens are risky and frowned upon. I’d recommend the SEC2 way 😉 After all, SEC2 = the best maps since they have added security and features. The MXT server uses them too. Anyway, go play some First Encounter Assault Recon! And if you haven’t before, then use the Warner Bros website to download the game, patch it, then get your key from FEAR-Community.org. You can find me as DaddyDK on the MXT server.

So now you know how to get a registration / CD key. Enjoy.

Edit: From what I hear, using a keygen with the free version of FEAR will actually not work. So scratch that idea.

And also, you can get the full free multiplayer version with the patch INCLUDED HERE. This version of the installer does NOT ask for a serial number either. Since the SEC2 keys are not as long as the normal keys, this makes it so that you do not need a regular key just to install the game.
