Title: What name for the sequel of FEAR
Post by: Prophet on June 06, 2007, 09:38:06 am: Check this: http://www.nameyourfear.com/main/

What could possibly be dumber and more contradictory than First Encounter Assault Recon?

How about GORE, Glorious Operations Rapid Elite?
Or BLOOD, Barely Legal Operations Of Death?

Anyway, what the hell is so contradictory at First Encounter Assault Recon? Reconnaissance in force, obviously designed to go in and make first contact with hostile, unknown forces/groups. A little silly maybe, but hardly contradictory.

How the hell can something be both assault and recon? Recon in force I understand. But assault generally means either take over or shoot/beat/maim to bits. I guess you still got the intel, but it's still dumb.

Title: Re: What name for the sequel of FEAR
Post by: Prophet on June 06, 2007, 11:36:41 am: Yeah. When the probability of hostile contact is so high that you get grenades instead of extra battery for the NV goggles.

So instead of night time photoshoot of a remote storage yard, you go on to search for an enemy strongpoint in an area thick with enemy patrols. In case which enemy contact is probable and you gear up accordingly. Thats recon in force.

Post by: Mefustae on June 06, 2007, 11:46:21 am: Maybe F.E.A.R. describes the duel role served by the agency. You've got the Point Man staying on the enemy to reconnoitre their movements and positions (hence 'Recon'), while you also have teams of SFOD-D hitting the enemy head-on with everything they have (hence 'Assault') to defeat an unknown/untested enemy (hence 'First Encounter').

Post by: Prophet on June 06, 2007, 11:58:48 am: And maybe there was only a superhuman working for an agency with a name that was supposed to be cool but ended up being stupid?

I hope the sequels name isn't scraped together from a brain fart.

The AI is good, and the battles between AI look good. Why the hell then didn't they use it?
Your own forces get torn to shreads before you can say "Buh??", without fireing a shot!
