Article has some valid points, in terms of the campaign...multiplayer is as robust as ever.
However, pretty much every FPS game I've played this year that has been hyped by the media/community had a mediocre or crap campaigns.

Its almost like the industry is ran by these casual gamers who review FPS games based on how pretty they are or how easy they play. Like Crysis 2 should have never gotten anything over an 8 by anyone who knows how to review and play FPS games...that game has completely broken AI and garbage set pieces, no matter how good it looks. It just isn't fun to have gunfights when AI runs straight at you...

There are still good FPS campaigns out there, they just don't get the hype for some reason.
Resistance 3 is very good to my surprise (hated first 2). Halo games are all top notch. FEAR 3 had a great campaign. RAGE was very good from what I've played so far (15% maybe).

All those games focus on gunplay and engaging users with gameplay over providing a linear cinematic experience and zomg graphix.
