Wikipedia is not a strategy guide or instruction manual. Wikipedia articles should focus on the games themselves, not on how to play them; they should not contain tips, tricks, or cheat codes. That information is available elsewhere (such as on our sister project, Wikibooks), in printed guides and online, and does not belong in an encyclopedia entry. Please do not add your own hints or opinions of the game. Verifiable content about the history, design, and overall description of the game is welcome. If you have questions about whether specific information should be added, ask here first.

-Does anyone know what engine the F.E.A.R. sequel will be using? Will it use the same engine as the original F.E.A.R.? Or some new version of the Jupitor Engine? IGN got a 15 minute video of the sequel, which I cited in the article itself and added, but did not mention anything about the game engine or graphics, which I find very odd.

-Are you guys sure it's using Lithtech: Jupiter EX (the very same engine as the first game)? No citation or source is stated. [[User:72.49.194.69|72.49.194.69]] 05:16, 26 July 2007 (UTC) Joshua
-:I don't think it's been disclosed yet, since it's still early. I would imagine it would use a further-enhanced version of the Lithtech engine from Jupiter EX. -[[User:Deuxsonic|Deuxsonic]] 09:22, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
-All I can say is I hope they manage to use a mix lighting style of real-time and lightmapping. FEAR's realtime lighting is gorgeous, but limiting. The engine still supports lightmapping (since the way-back-when original Jupiter ONLY had lightmaps and static vertex), and if they gave the processor a radiosity simulator, then lightmapping would be great for filling out the dark areas without resorting to ambient light. If they want to make the mood more elaborate, a lightmap/dynamic hybrid is the way to go.
-== TimeGate Expansions ==
-Please stop adding Extraction Point. Monolith does not view it as having ever happened. It's in the first magazine article about the game; I don't have it with me right now, but when I get home I'll cite it for you all.

-Official word that the two F.E.A.R expansion packs, Extraction Point and Peresus Mandate are viewed as never happened.

-: I added the citation to the main text.  However, it must be said that a citation from a public forum is not really ideal; it would be better to find an official statement from Monolith, and/or something officially stated in a notable trade Web site, like ''Gamespot''. [[User:Xihr|Xihr]] ([[User talk:Xihr|talk]]) 22:40, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
-: Never happened seems like an extreme term.  I'd also want to see a solid citation. [[User:Xe7al|Xe7al]] ([[User talk:Xe7al|talk]]) 13:33, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
-:: Well, it's certainly true that [[Monolith]] does not consider the plot that has taken place in the two expansion packs to be canonical, and so has stated they will just ignore them.  The citation is true; it's just not a particularly notable one.  I'll dig around for a better one. [[User:Xihr|Xihr]] ([[User talk:Xihr|talk]]) 04:53, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
-::: Perhaps it would be good to have them on the same page for the character lists, yet make it clear there are two different continuities? [[User:Theodorel|Theodorel]] ([[User talk:Theodorel|talk]]) 19:52, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
-:::: Well, I think the problem with that is that the continuity for the expansion packs isn't much of one; it's a dead end and there isn't much to say except essentially all the main characters are gratuitously killed off, or that the new characters introduced are unceremoniously killed.  (Except for Mapes, who inexplicably survives, but obviously it's just intended for comic effect.) [[User:Xihr|Xihr]] ([[User talk:Xihr|talk]]) 21:09, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
-:::::I would say that it really doesn't make a difference because it's a different story basically. You can assume that the past expansions are being ignored because they have no effect on what happens in the next story.  That is unless they throw something in about the Nightcrawlers capturing that DNA sample. That's probably the only thing I can see coming out of the expansions.

-==FEAR 2==
-It was announced unofficially in the UK PC gamer of this month (jan 08) that Vivendi was working on a sequel to FEAR, called FEAR 2, that they will be unveiling after Project Origin is released. i propose that the FEAR 2 re-direct be removed, because this will almost certainly cause confusion and difficulties when FEAR 2 is officially announced.

-==E3 Demo==
-there's a 18 minute video on youtube of a demo that was shown at E3, in 2007. there's alot of content in there, which we could use to update the main page? [[User:3rdTriangle|3rdTriangle]] ([[User talk:3rdTriangle|talk]]) 17:26, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
-:seeing as no-one has objected, i've added the information under a new section [[User:3rdTriangle|3rdTriangle]] ([[User talk:3rdTriangle|talk]]) 13:31, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
-==Release date==
-Anyone know when the release date is? I know their are some trailers for it, meaning it is coming soon (unless it goes they way of GTA 4 and releases the game a year after the trailer comes out) if anyone know anything about this, please post it  <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Not G.

-: I don't think it's been announced yet. [[User:Xihr|Xihr]] ([[User talk:Xihr|talk]]) 04:39, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
-:: I think I saw a October 28, 2008 US release date on Amazon.com website. Don't know if it is official, but setting the release date of a game with Project Origin's background so close to [[Halloween]] seems more than coincidental... [[User:Berserker79|Berserker79]] ([[User talk:Berserker79|talk]]) 17:48, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
-:::Official website says Fall 2008 at the bottom. Dunno how long it's been since it's been updated though. I'm going to change it to Fall 2008. If anyone can show me a different date, please do. [[User:Delta759|Delta]] ([[User talk:Delta759|talk]]) 21:31, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
-:::: That's old data.  A delay was just announced, pushing it back to Q1 2009. [[User:Xihr|<span style="color: white; background: black; font-weight: bold; padding: 1px;">&nbsp;Xihr&nbsp;</span>]] 04:46, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

-:::::: The main page states that it was released earlier this year.  Are those dates meant to be for next year, and it was just a typo, or are those dates made up? [[Special:Contributions/97.118.245.155|97.118.245.155]] ([[User talk:97.118.245.155|talk]]) 22:07, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
