GameSpy has fired-up a preview on Monolith's upcoming first person shooter, F.E.A.R., after getting some hands-on time with this bad boy. Here's an interesting bit on the slow-mo feature:

The multiplayer focuses on the military aspects of the game, with modes including the standard deathmatch, team deathmatch, and variants that include the "slow-mo" ability from the single-player game. Each level contains a special powerup that players or teams can fight for control over, and allows you to slow down time across the entire level. In team games, the controlling team is reduced to 40% speed, while the other team is reduced to 20%, giving the controlling team a huge advantage for ten seconds.
