Armored Front pack next Thursday.

Warner Bros. plans to release an Armored Core content pack for F.E.A.R. 2 next Thursday, 21st May.

This costs 540 Microsoft Points (GBP 4.59 / EUR 6.48) on Xbox 360, and GBP 4.39 on PlayStation 3.

Inside are four new character heads and two new maps. Conductor is the first of the maps, and has EPAs battling out of a train station from the ground floor while infantry can support or go high for long-range combat. Decoy, on the other hand, is a full-scale training ground for Replica soldiers that has been invaded by the ATC. Pop-up dummies will get in the way.

Head over to Eurogamer TV for footage of the Armored Core pack in action.

F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin came out back in February. Head over to our F.E.A.R. 2 review to see what we thought.

    The last pack was fun for a few hours but I can't say the multiplayer is that compelling that it's worth paying for DLC.
    They should have spent the extra dev time delaying the game so they could come up with a half-decent ending instead of what we got.

    I thought the ending was a bit of a let down too. Not bad. But it was of the Halo 2 ilk, ie a cliffhanger.

    FEAR 3. Bring it on!

    The free maps were fun but, really, FEAR comes alive on PC. The original had a huge following online. It's just more suited to the M&K due to the speed of the gameplay. It runs fine on Xbox Live, but can feel too frantic.

    Shame fear 2 was a massive let down. i loved the first one and did as much as i could with it. hope they get a better team on fear 3 as 2 was so linear and dull it was a crime.
