Arc doh come round with that separate MP and Solo FUBAR! that's like saying we gonna sell you a roti in 2 parts, you buy the dahlpouri and then we charge you separately for chicken/goat/channa/etc. MESS. Imagine you pull up by ur favourite doubles vendor and he sells you the channa and anchar at $4 and then say you hadda spend another $4 on the bara... but his reasoning "it taste betta now" HOSS NO.Let's get real, the realm of single player has reduced to all but a handful of genres. ONLINE IS where it's at, even if its only online COOP, MP is a MUST. I'm HARD pressed to purchase ANY game that doesn't have coop or some form of MP component today. The last I bought was FFIV and whilst I am a die hard RPG fan of the FF series... after I beat it I just COULD NOT pick it back up to finish all the SINGLE player missions that didn't constitute to the story line. When there is SOOO much good MP out there and all your friends waiting to jump in... SP is just well... single.
Well, that's just you W1nTry....and that's a truly horrible analogy. Not even worth my time and effort to deconstruct. Quick question: How many of you actually finished the SP campaigns of MW2, Black Ops, Bad Company 2, Crysis 2, and about half a dozen other shooters that came out in the last few years?
The fact is, there are many single-player games on all platforms that have done quite well,it's just that we've been become so spoiled by the Halos and the CoDs that we've come to expect(demand?) that certain genres of games must have a MP component. I don't totally agree with that.Lets take a look at the recent Medal Of Honor. Stellar single-player...not so great multiplayer.Now THERE's an example where I would have happily paid about 25-30 US for the SP part, whichwas made by a different studio than the MP mind you, and simply enjoyed that, and maybe downthe line bought the MP when I felt it was worth it, via a sale or something.THAT's a model I can live with...if it were possible.There are lots of action and adventure games that are SP also, that sold millions.I didn't hear those people complaining en masse 'well I not buying this great game because there's no MP'.What I'm suggesting simply, is that I think it's time that gamers be given a choice. That's all.You want the whole game, okay...you can get it for this price, say 60 US.If you say, screw the SP, I just wanna shoot people, buy the MP only, because we bothknow there are a TON of people who don't even bother with the SP in lots of FPS games.It can be priced in such a way that you pay slightly more if you purchase both separatelyas an incentive to purchase the whole game. You know choice nah.
^agreedThe campaigns are over-the-top, linear action fun.As for Arc's question, I play the campaigns of all my shooter games. Sometimes I don't play multiplayer until I've completed the campaign.
I think you missed my point completely, but whatever. Lets agree to disagree on that.

Lets agree to disagree on that.Don't you love when ppl dismiss a valid point to an argument... you asked who still plays campaign and I named at least 4 with more if you want and I don't get the point... meh
no offence but sometime I can't believe some of you have kids/wife/mortgage and over are the age of 27, the way ya'll be getting on.
