Literal LMFAO on that Alma having kids picture caption.

Pretty much my thoughts exactly. Fear 3 did justice to the Tactical shooter roots but did nothing for the canon. The multiplayer had fresh ideas but the series lends itself better to the classic Counter-Strike, Call of Duty competitive experience IMO (which they dropped). Bringing John Carpenter in helped with atmosphere some but it just wasn't scary. If you ever get a chance to play co-op I do recommend it though.

The reason why Day 1 did this game is because WB gave Monolith creative control over the Lord of the Rings IP. I'm hoping once they finish on Shadow of Mordor they make the REAL next-gen successor to FEAR 2. Hopefully even go the route of Twisted Metal Head On or Ys IV, replacing the games by other teams in the canon. If you haven't played it, I recommend checking out the FEAR 2 single player DLC Reborn. Not only is it a really well-done action sequence, but it sets up the original idea for FEAR 3 that I think would've worked better.
