F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin

FEAR 2: Project Origin
I have just finished playing this brilliant game from monolith, after playing both fear and the expansion pack, extraction point, this game doesn’t compare to any of the older games, the graphic detail is mind blowing, and the storyline unlike fear doesn’t drag on in small buildings, your pushed outside to continue your quest.
This game is something really different when it comes to first person shooters, mixed and fuelled by the horror background of fear, project origin takes on a whole new feeling, of jump out your seat moments, but monolith have made it more bearable then games like Doom 3, which seem really hard to play, as your mind cant work out what is going on, but with the backup of your squad things feel a little bit more in control.
The Ai in this game is truly amazing, its like playing multiplayer where you can never be sure on how the enemy will react, making this game very unpredictable.
I think the guys at monolith have done a really good job on this one and cant wait to see what they create next time.
A game well worth buying and only £25.00 on steam! Buy NOW
Fear 2: Project Origin steam backup problem
Mar 13th
I have found that if you make a backup using the steam client it only backs up the program files of the game and not the user profiles or saved games, in vista I have found that these are kept in. C:\Users\(username)\Documents\WBGames\FEAR2\(productnumber)
Once you find this make a backup of it, once you reinstall the game you can copy the setting across and carry on gaming! yay

Battlefield 2142 – Northen Strike Error – server doesn’t allow modified content
After updating to version 1.5 I found that everytime I try connecting to a BF server I am kicked and the error message states (server doesn’t allow modified content).
Follow steps to fix the bug
steps for fixing NS
1. Go to the start menu and select “Run”.
2. In The Box that pops up type “regedit”.
3. This has opened the registry. Don’t ask what it is, because it’s kinda complex.
4. If you need to make a back up select “File” and then the 2nd option named “Export”. Select where you want the backup and then save it.
5. Over on the left is a frame with all the registry “Folders” for lack of a better word. The third(or so) one should be “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE”. Next to it , on the left, is a plus sign. Click on it to expand it.
6. Click the plus (+) sign next to “Software”.
7. Click the plus (+) sign next to “Electronic Arts”.
8. Click the plus (+) sign next to “EA GAMES”. Yes, it is in capitals.
9. Click the plus (+) sign next to “Battlefield 2142″.
10. Find the registry key(entry) called Version.
11. Right click on it and select “Modify”.
12. Modify it to 1.10
13. Exit the registry editor.
14. Install the latest official patch.
15. Try to join the server again.
This should fix the problem.
