I want to know how much everyone uses the slowmotion ability in F.E.A.R.

I choose always II.
I use it almost everytime it is available but I won't wait for it to fill up. I really love the slowmotion effect :D
 
Most of the time...

The general cannon fodder is dispatched easily, but the bigger guys takes some more precise shooting that the slowmo allows
 
I hardly ever use it. Sometimes when I'm trouble I use it but it doesn't really work.

Having the right weapon for the right job always works best. Of course keep your ass covered.

Shotgun for people who get too close.
That laser like gun for distance.
The machine gun for everyone else. ;)

Of course I always use zoom. Can't beat the zoom feature with the slow down feature.
 
the first time through the game i used slow-mo all the time, practically on ever guy, but im now going through again on the hardest difficulty, and i rarely use it unless theres a lot of guys. i actually think its better that way...
 
I hardly ever use it. The main times are the rocket robots and the extra shield guys. In most games I hardly use the extra abilities that run out because I like to save them for the harder parts...which usually never happen. So, in most games, I end up having tons of ammo for the big guns, too many health packs, etc... Which causes a lot of stress during the majority of the game where these items would make it a lot eaiser :)

amen. I am the same way..

Although it usually makes easy work of the last boss.
 
I used it once, in that office complex where there were two of those heavy armored guys. It was fun to get "up close and personal" with the shotty. :D and a couple proximity grenades.
 
I voted 1. It's my first time through, so i'm using it as a crutch, i'll admit. It's desparately needed for the rocket and laser firing mechs though.

I know it's bad when i tried to play Lost Coast and i was trying to use slomo and couldn't figure out why i was crouching when i hit the Ctrl key. lol :eek:
 
I try and use it all the time. However it never lasts long enough and takes forever to recharge IMO.

I haven't gotten the rail gun thingy but I have found the rocket launcher.
 
Well, it's not really the same. You can't move faster when in slowmo and you cannot do acrobatic jumps. I think the only thing that is faster is your reticule. I mean, you can turn your head at the same speed as before, thus you can see more of the screen in the same amount of game time (I hope this makes sense...).

So the big plus is that when you shoot at someone with an automatic gun (or with shots close to each other) you have the time to correct the recoil of the gun between each shot. Also, you have the time to shoot a couple of shots at an enemy, switch at an other one and shoot back at the first one before he gets ready to shoot you again.

The trick is not to leave it on during the entire firefight... just the second or two their head comes into sight...

How I play is slow-mo on, headshot(s), slow-mo off, until the I have the next opportunity to shoot someone who has stuck their head out. I hardly ever run out of that slow-mo time.
 
I keep forgetting about slow-mo and have just been playing the game as though it were HL2. I'm only about halfway through, though, so it might come in handy later on.
 
I would use it to start the fight.
I hear guys around the corner, hit slow mo, come around, pop 2 or 3 head shots off, turn it off, unload a full clip, switch weps and slow mo again.

Yeah, me to I forget it all the time, I sure I would be alot further if I had been using it all the time :p
 
I rarely use it, and don't need to really... I quick save a lot and hope for the best... :)

See, if I could leave it on all the time I would. You don't physically see yourself moving faster but the AI opponents do. They usually start to run as you go into slow mo, they run to get distance between you and them so you can't really melee on their assess. Cause that's what I like to do, hit the slow mode and holster my weapon to go punch them in the faces.
 
Mostly the slomo was used simply for fast-dashes so that I could melee the ^$@& out of the enemies, or lift enemies into the air with point-blank shotgun blasts.
 
Never use it. Completely forgot about it actually until I accidently hit the ctrl key. I just find it more fun doing it the old fashioned way. I'm only playing on normal difficulty so it is pretty easy to kill everyone anyway.

I just love how good the AI is in this game. I'll f5 before going into an area and end up playing it a couple different times using different paths. It is never the same experience.
