Yes, F.E.A.R Combat is compatible with the full game, so if you already have F.E.A.R. you don't need to download the multiplayer. We will also have hard copies of the FEAR Combat install file available if you need it, so just go to www.joinFEAR.com to get a Registration Key

What about Spectators?
We would love for people to come in to watch, but if they would like to play, they will need to pay the entry fee.
