I'm not completely ignoring it, clearly, just moving away from being so active with it. It's not an off-the-cuff decision. I clearly justify my reasoning in the OP (specifically the lack of the local multiplayer features which made me such a fan in the first place).
I'm a very social man. I like to get together with some friends a couple weekends a month, drink, and play games all night. We laugh, we insult each other good naturedly, and we have a TON of fun. With shooters constantly moving further and further from that experience and focusing more and more on online which, frankly, bores me, the genre is losing its biggest draw for me.
What this means is, I may buy that type of shooter still, but they are no longer anywhere near a $60 purchase for me. Does that make sense? It's simply not logical for me to plop down that kind of cash on a game that's going to last me 4 hours of moderately enjoyable campaign play and then another 10 of online which frankly is starting to blend together between games. I'm just crashing out of it.
