^^ That a million times. I am so disappointed with modern shooters. HL had great mechanics. I have recently played a little bit of the new wolfenstein and Farcry Blood Dragon based on recommendations and, ok I get it you're tongue in cheek about it, but that doesn't mean you're not doing exactly the same thing you're making fun of. Movement feels like you're swimming through jelly and if you don't want to play it exactly like the game wants you to, you simply can't.
I'm not too sour about it since I'm not much of a shooter guy anyway, but I don't think arena shooters have improved since Quake and there hasn't been a better single player than half life since half life.
I don't even have high hopes for Evolve. They couldn't even fix l4d with a matchmaking system.

At least there's innovation elsewhere. Hotline Miami is glorious. Paper's Please is awesome and unique. And of course Dota2 is the best game ever made. These are good times after all.
