i have an 'intel extreme graphics 2' card and i was wondering if it would be good enough to run F.E.A.R. i have halflife 2 and it works fine

Probably not. Many people have been having problems with that game with idependent grahpics, what you have is integrated.
In fact here are they system requirements:
* Windows ® 2000/XP with latest service pack installed
* DirectX(tm) 9.0c
* Pentium ® 4 1.7 Ghz or equivalent
* 1GB RAM
* 128 MB DirectX ® 9.0 Compliant Video Card with hardware T&L and pixel shader support*
* 3.0 GB free Hard Drive Space for installation
* Additional hard drive space for a Windows swap file and saved game files.
* 16-bit DirectX 9.0 compliant sound card with support for EAX 2.0
* Broadband connection for multiplayer games.
* Mouse & KeyboardMost integrated graphics that I have seen are 64mb, so no you won't be able to run it effectively enough to get any enjoyment out of it.
If you really want to play this game I'm sure everyone here will be helpful in helping you determine what you need to upgrade. What are your system specs?

If you wanna play games decently, get a "real" video card. Onboard graphics, including 'Intel Extreme Graphics 2' suck for gaming.
Are Intel's Integrated Graphics Processors Good Enough for Gaming?
ASUS A7N8X-X
Athlon XP 1800+
8.5 x 200MHz
1024MB PC3200 2.5-3-3-7
Asus A9550GE/TD 128MB
WinME/WinXP Pro SP2

So in order to play FEAR you are going to need to upgrade your RAM to 1GB and get a decent video card.
Do you know if you have a PCI-E or AGP slot? What brand of computer do you have?
Are you willing to spend the money to upgrade or am I wasting my time? :) You're probably looking at around $200 or so...
