Upcoming free F.E.A.R. 2 map pack is ... free photo

So you know that downloadable content for F.E.A.R. 2 that Monolith and Warner Bros. announced earlier this week? The "Toy Soldiers" multiplayer map packs? Well, they're free, and Warner and Monolith are sorry for all of the confusion.

Wait, what confusion? It seems the original announcement didn't mention price, which is common practice in the industry -- announced some DLC, surprise us with a price somewhere down the line. Earlier in the week, the map content had appeared in Major Nelson's Xbox LIVE Marketplace update feed with the price of "Free," but was quickly yanked. The content will be available mid-April. 

Hey, if you're looking to spend money, there's always F.E.A.R. 2 premium gamer pictures you can get. You want those, right?

Obsured nothing is ever free! Free is just a myth.

Premium game pictures? Wha? Anyways, I take it in Toy Soldiers map, They make the map appear as if you're small. Not bad.

Hey, I'm fine with free.

Just out of curiosity, why is the multiplayer considered bad? If it's because there's no leveling up or ranking or something like that, I wouldn't mind playing it, personally.

Wha Wha What? Free DLC? Who's in charge of their marketing? Don't they know you can charge for that stuff... lol. I'm not a huge fan of Fear 2's multi-player but I'll give this stuff a shot. If only free DLC was the norm.

They should just release it now. It was on the marketplace for about an hour before they yanked it, and anyone who dl'ed it can use it fine.
