PC.IGN is the latest website to fire-up a preview on Monolith's upcoming first person shooter, F.E.A.R.. Here's a bit on the weapons at your disposal:

The weapons themselves act as you would expect. Players can break out to toggle their starting weapon as often as they like. Starting weapons include dual pistols, a submachine gun, shotgun, assault rifle, nail gun, semi-automatic rifle, and plasma rifle. Two more weapons can only be found at specific areas around the map. These are the rocket launcher and battle cannon. The rocket launcher is a deadly piece of hardware and simply looks great. Three rockets shoot from the gun, twirl around as they race across the screen to find their target. The battle cannon shoots out an explosive shell that impacts and sends a nifty spherical shockwave. All of the weapons already feel and sound brilliant. There is still some balancing to be done, especially with the battle cannon, but the weapons already make a guy feel powerful.
