Forums - Gaming - how many FPS games DON'T have a mediocre single player?

I was thinking earlier about how whenever a new FPS is released people always say how it has an amazing multiplayer experiance but a mediocre single player campaign and I asked myself how many games I could remember where a majority of people praised both the single player and multiplayer of an FPS game. The only games this generation that came to mind was COD:MW and maybe COD:WAW. Bioshock had a great single player but didn't have an online feature. Resistance 2 was said to have good online play but an awful single player and now I hear people saying the same about Killzone 2 even though I strongly disagree, while the story is almost non existant it was an amazing experiance and while nothing done in the game was new, it was all done with great polish in a fun and exciting way. Regardless of my own feeling though, many people are saying it is a mediocre singleplayer including some reviewers. Halo was another game which many felt had a mediocre single player but an amazing online component. I remember even hearing some of the biggest Halo fanboys I know complaining about the single player. This obviously doesn't mean that all people feel this way about these games but it seems like a lot of people have something to say about almost every FPS having a mediocre singleplayer except for COD.

What do you guys think?

cod4 and killzone 2 have good SP campaigns IMO. people would whine about anything. Gotta get used to these things

It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives"---Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler

Most FPS's have good campaigns. The only game which is very highly rated and has a very average SP is Halo 3, I just did not see the excitement in it, Gears 1's campaign was also not great, but it was still good



Halo CE, single player was and still is the best of any console FPS!



If we're talking about FPS with online ill leave out Half Life and Bioshock...

Killzone 2s SP campaign i thought was good... An all out war for the most of it. The atmosphere around you is immense in the early and later levels.
CoD4 also had a decent story imo... as did Halo 3.

Halo 1 has a fantastic SP campaign. Also, the first Perfect Dark.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Halo: Combat Evolved has the best single player capaign ever! The Silent Cartographer is probably my favorite mission in any FPS.

I just hope that when I finally play Killzone 2 I will find missions as addictive as that.



While I think the campaign in Killzone 2 is actually pretty good, how about Resistance:FOM, I thought it had both a good SP campaign and MP. I also liked RSV2, COD4 and Halo:CE

Edit:  And Call of Duty 2:Big Red One(PS2) & Call of Duty 2 (360)



Halo CE; CoD1,2,4; Half-Life 1,2; Bioshock, Resistance 2 (Don't know why there're so many bitching about it), Condemned, R6Vegas 2 & many more



Goldeneye, Nightfire, most bond games.
