I hope everyone is going to say single player... Please! I hope we're not at a certain point in time where we don't care about a good story and stuff... Right?

Single player shouldn't be an extra to a game.

It really depends what game. I never felt for a second that Warhawk was missing a single player game in there. If the next Call of Duty, Killzone 2 or half a dozen other FPS games ditch their SP's, I wouldn't blink an eye. Same thing for Madden. I'd take an entirely online Madden over an entirely single player on any day.

 

CoD4 had imo, the best single player campaign in a shooter to date. I wouldn't just blink an eye, I wouldn't buy the damn thing again if it didn't have what I consider its best aspect, single player.

 

Repetition, no matter how interesting, is tedious. Online gaming is repetition. It's grinding. It's interesting grinding with other humans, granted, but it'll never be as diverse an experience as a good single player campaign. The MMO genre actually conbines SP and MP with great results, but most of us want to overlook that genre, and go right to the lameass FPS multiplayer that is as stale as petrified mammoth shit. What was the lastest innovation in that genre, the online FPS? Besides improved graphics, that is? Nothing. Nothing that counterstrike didn't do better years and years ago.

Online shooters are like the Wii. You decide what I mean by that.

 

That is exactly what I find it is grinding.

In saying that I do not want to appear to be undermining it as one mans grind is another mans pleasure.

Still good to see a bit of support for my preference as I would feel to undermine SP would be a mistake.
