    B. Game Modes - Multiplayer

There are plenty of online game modes for F.E.A.R you can play Player Matches with buddies inviting them and such and you can also play Ranked Matches, which you can as well play with friends, simply by telling them how to find you.  The easiest way is to tell them what map you are on and what game type you are doing, so this way they can find you hosting and join you.  I like it since Halo 2 is currently the only game that lets you do that, but F.E.A.R is along those lines aswell.

Here are the game modes for F.E.A.R’s Multiplayer:

The modes and the maps that are with it are the suggestive maps of the game type and are best suited for each game type, other game types have different maps, to better of gameplay to a certain game mode.
