This page contains a full-text walkthrough for F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, a first-person shooter for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. The sequel to F.E.A.R. resumes about 30 minutes before the original ended. However, the player assumes the role of a member of an elite military squad in this installment.
F.E.A.R. 2 continues to unravel the story of Alma, a woman who was experimented on by the government for her tremendous psychic abilities. When the government killed Alma's physical body, her consciousness remained, allowing her to inflict chaos on the world around her in revenge for what was done to her.Official Site: F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin
Improved AI
In order to make the experience of playing F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin even more realistic than playing the original game, the developers made a number of tweaks to their AI system for enemies.In the first game, enemies already jumped over walls and desks in order to get to the player, but in F.E.A.R. 2 the enemies are even smarter. Enemies will understand and use cover and moving cover, meaning an enemy may pop up from behind cover to throw a grenade and then pop back into cover again. If the enemy is taking cover behind an object that moves, the enemy will move with the object in order to stay in cover.
Certain enemies in F.E.A.R. 2 can also now walk on walls and rails, adding to their creepiness factor.GameTrailers: F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin Behind the Scenes: AI

Weapons
- Pistol: This gun is not preferable to the other weapons as it is extremely weak at long range.
- Submachine Gun: This gun has a good range, rate of fire, and clip size. You can toggle between single shot and burst fire.
- Assault Rifle: This gun is an upgrade to the submachine gun, with better range and much higher power. It's only drawback is a lower clip. You can toggle between single shot and rapid fire. Replace the submachine gun with this in the campaign.
- Combat Shotgun: This shotgun has incredible power at close range. At greater distances it is affected greatly by its inaccurate spread. Each shell must also be loaded manually.
- Automatic Shotgun: This shotgun has excellent range and accuracy, and an automatic clip, which can devastate a target at full auto. However, the individual shots of this gun are weaker than a direct hit from the combat shotgun.
- Napalm Cannon: This weapon shoots a burst of flame that can engulf whole groups of enemies. Burning enemies are stunned and vulnerable for a long time, with average foes eventually dieing off. Stronger foes will need a melee hit or more flame to die off, and the very strongest are simply immune. Since ammo is scarce for it, it's suggestible to use the weapon exclusively whenever found until it runs out of ammo, then dump it.
- Sniper Rifle: This sniper rifle has incredible power and accuracy, usually instant death to all but the strongest foes no matter where the bullet lands. It is found usually during key moments, such as repelling other snipers.
- Hammerhead: This weapon shoots spikes rapid-fire. It can penetrate armor and is thus very effective at dropping the strongest baddies safely. Ammo for this weapon is also common late in the game, and it is effective even at long range.
- Missile Launcher: This weapon shoots missiles at a phenomenally fast rate of fire. It is an integral weapon for dropping the strongest enemies such as remnants and powered armor units. Keep this with you at all times.
- Laser: This device shoots a laser beam that can cut down enemies, even the strongest foes. Enemies hit by the laser will be unable to defend themselves so long as the beam continues to cut into them. It is very useful when surrounded and caught off guard, but ammo however is scarce.
- Pulse Weapon: This weapon fires a slow moving ball of plasma that will eradicate anything it touches. You can guide the ball with the right analog while you are zooming in with the weapon. There is only two in the game and it comes only with the ammo it already has. Use the first one to kill the toughest targets until it runs empty; save the second for the final boss.
- Frag Grenade: The basic grenade has in fact considerable power and range. However, you must be proficient at cooking these so that they explode right when they reach the enemy, otherwise, they will not be very effective. They also will not be able to impact a target shielded by cover.
- Incendiary Grenade: This is the grenade equivalent of the napalm cannon. This can drop a massive swath of regular enemies in range easily, even if they are shielded behind cover. The drawback is that armored foes will usually to survive the inferno.
- Proximity Mine: This can be tossed onto objects, walls, or floors to explode when enemies come into range. They do big damage and are very effective at killing off the strongest foes if missiles are not available.
- Shock Grenade: This explodes to create a electro-magnetic field that stuns enemies and drops the shields of power armored units. It is vital for defeating the latter; always save your supply for them. You must cook these as you do with frags.
