If they do, my money is on Left 4 Dead. Simple story, simple programming, very popular with a lot of paid DLC potential and best of all...very few expectations from fans. All they really need to do is up the graphics of L4D 2 and make some new maps and they will have a hit on their hands.
The same would not be true of Portal and definitely not Half Life.

I would concur as well and honestly I would welcome a L4D3. I've got hundreds of hours of versus L4D2 in steam. It's one of the more fun group games I've played with friends.
Especially after the writers left.

I do remember studies saying this. Video games have been the scapegoat for all things bad since the start. The violent video game argument is about as valid as, 95% of people who die of cancer have eaten strawberries. Therefore strawberries cause cancer. Unfortunately video games are an easy target because of all the dumb morons we have in this world. Just go back to the whole mass effect fox news story from when that game came out to see the stupid that is EVERYONE against video games.
I recently heard that most mass shooters weren’t even interested in video games lol. Also, video games are sold worldwide. Why is the biggest problem that they supposedly cause most prevalent only in the United States? Hmmmmmmm...
That they are. All of the credible research shows no causal effect of real world violence coming from playing violent video games. The only thing that can be shown is frustration leading to a violent outburst (eg throwing a controller across the room) and that can occur with every video game from Mario Cart to COD. Hell, I know a few people so overly competitive that a game of "pin the tail on the donkey" is most likely going to end in a few punches being exchanged.
That of course has not stopped those with an agenda from trying to manipulate studies show they do. Jodi Whitaker was one such person and she got her PhD revoked for it. https://www.insidehighered.com/news...sors-phd-questioning-her-findings-video-games

Exactly. You gotta love an agenda. I would LOVE to debate it with these clowns.

And man am I guilty of that. Many controllers have met their ill-fated doom at the hand of my 16bit platformer rage! With the rage and violence that occurs during our games of spoons, the government should just outlaw the game now and save the world some trouble.
Bernie Burns from Rooster Teeth made a great joke about throwing controllers...."I know why the Halo edition Xbox comes with 2 controllers. You are guaranteed to put at least one through a wall trying to beat the game on legendary."
Was this so hard hard to do from the start EA? Did we really have to go through all the fuss? Did you really have to see how far you could take your greedy antics?

It’s probably too late now but either way to anyone here still playing the game, on behalf of all the “pundits,” you’re welcome. We made your game better even if you were willing to take all the crap that was being thrown at you.

@Mike S I would like your comment, but I dont want EA to think I'm ok with dlc dlc. Lol
What I just don't get is why people still support EA at all. As much as I wanted battlefront, I waited because I just didn't trust them. And sure enough they didn't let me down. So I picked it up for super cheap a year later. If the collective didn't get the new Madden, fifa or battlefield... EA might just get the hint. But in a lot of respects, EA is like Disney. If people are willing, just keep pushing.

They weren’t going to completely get rid of them but this still a hell of a lot better than what they were doing before. When it comes to big third party publishers I’ve so far just been supporting Bethesda for DOOM and hopefully DOOM 2, Ubisoft for Mario + Rabbids and hopefully a new Rayman, and will be supporting Activision for Crash Bandicoot and the rumored Spyro the Dragon. Who needs EA?
