Why would they release it for free? Sounds suspicious to me... No one buys it now so they decided to release it for all?

Actually, the game sold fairly well, all things considered.
They aren't releasing the full game for free, just the multiplayer component of it. The theory is that, maybe some gamers who hadn't already purchased FEAR will like the online portion enough to check out the full game.
It's also a chance for Vivendi to get the game title back in the news a bit, as the sequel isn't exactly coming out soon.
