I strongly disagree with this poster, and all of the others who shared this opinion.
Quite arguably the best FPS of all time is Half-Life 2. It had no multiplayer. Oh wait, it had Half-Life 2 deathmatch, I almost forgot! Oh I just logged in and there are like 12 people playing.
Half life 2 has terrible multiplayer yet it is regarded as one of the best FPS of all time.
Also, how good can Halo and Halo 2 really be. Howcome once they are ported to PC they get miserable ratings? Sure it's been out for a couple years, but true great games are timeless; True great games last the test of time. If anything, Halo should get better scores because its on a console with a superior control scheme for it's game mechanics. I guess once the hype has died down (after 3 years) people truly realize how mediocre and bland the game is.
^^ I just wanted to make a couple points that fit in with this discussion. Now I'm out.
