Why is it that ego-shooters or third person shooters have no offline multiplayer mode where you can fight against bots at least. Like with Timesplitters on PS2 and i think it was possible in perfect dark on the 360, but ever since Call of Duty 4 its like all shooters i know are lacking such an offline mode.

I dont get it why are devoloper locking away that content being only exclusivley to the internet? The multiplayer maps are done and the KI is done for the campaign too. They could easilly make a free/skirmish mode in shooters.

No other genre had such an transition, in RTS games you can still make a free game with the computers despite that devoloping KIs for RTS games are way harder than for an ego-shooter. Opinions?
