It seems a little unfair comparing probably the worst FPS game in existence to what is arguably the best single-player FPS experience to date. But now that you have that standard, keep it, and always remember what a good game is.
Valve definitely isn't the only good PC game developer right now, though. DICE is doing great things, even going so far as to make the PC the lead platform (devs that primarily focus on PC gaming are few and far between) for Battlefield 3, which looks nothing short of spectacular. And ArenaNet, though they've only done one actual game so far, is always looking out for their fans, hence why they refuse to release Guild Wars 2 or even put a release date on it until they're 100% certain that we're going to fall head-over-heels for the game.
There are still good developers left, devs that look to the fans before their wallets. Sadly, it seems Bungie isn't one of them, nor is Microsoft.
Im kinda worried about Battlefield 3 in all honesty. Although BF3's lead platform is the PC, Crytek said the same thing about Crysis 2 and (depending on whether you were a fan of the original Crysis) still ended up as a consolised shooter which lost the open battlefields and gameplay dumbed down for a controller, which can be said about BFBC2 too. So, as a fan of BF2 and the prior games which were far better than BFBC2, im hoping we don't get BFBC2 + 64 players and jets, but rather the original BF games with frostbite bonuses. Lets hope DICE doesn't disappoint.
