Poll: Did you skip COD's Single Player?

[Telasro]

Personally, I always try to get at least a respectable way through the single player portion of a game before I get into the multiplayer. I've always seen it as a way to get used to the mechanics and controls of a game before diving into games with other people (and usually sucking anyway :-D) This is more true for shooters than other types of games, since RTS games tend to have longer campaigns

 

[Mr.Teatime]

Single player is about the only thing I actually do play.

 

[Dalisclock]

Don't care about the mutiplayer in pretty much any game. If I want to be annoyed by dickheads while I'm trying to have fun, I'd go outside.

I personally hate it when people buy a game solely for the multiplayer. The Dev team worked hard on this game, the least you can do is play it.

i just got cod black ops bundled with my ps3, would not have played it otherwise. i've yet to go multiplayer at all but plan to do so, i'm shit at fps's and am training in campaign mode to get better.

 

[Eldritch Warlord]

I basically only play the single player in CoD games, also I've never actually bought one. I've played 2 through Black Ops in case you were wondering.

 

[Darth Sea Bass]

Played the single player on CoD 4 never touched the multiplayer or the franchise since!

 

[silasbufu]

Only played the single player. It was an ok way to spend my free time , nothing more, nothing less.

Play through the campaign on normal then drop in and do some multiplayer, after a while do the veteran playthrough on the campaign and get the intels and whatnot. I usually get bored of multiplayer by about level 40-50 anyway.

In Modern Warfare 1&2, I played the campaigns all the way through. I liked the first, and I loved the story in the second, but it was too short.

But Black Ops... Disappointment. As OP said, everything up until the great escape is... Not even okay (though I did like the escape scene), and shortly thereafter I stopped playing. Overall I was disappointed, but really, what did I expect?

Still can't help but feel that the devs should be punished for this, the singleplayer was SO below standard.

"It's a multiplayer game dude!" - Then remove the singleplayer alltogether and don't make the game pretend to be anything else than a multiplayer cashcow. Honestly, by this point, the only reason that CoD has singleplayer is to excuse the setting and the weapons used in it, which is not even good in Black Ops.

 

[TheHitcher]

With every CoD game, I play the single player before the multiplayer.

 

[Grayjack]

I always play through the single player campaign before jumping on multiplayer. It feels weird if I don't.

 

[Norks]

I never play the multi before the single, on any game. I kinda feel like I'm cheating the storytellers who have created that whole narrative if I skip past it to get cheap thrills in the multiplayer.

To me the multiplayer in games is the extra sprinkles on the game-cake, it adds to the experience but it isn't a driving force of the experence, thats the single player. (with obvious TF2-esque exceptions)

 

[kasperbbs]

Umm, i might be the minority here, but i only rented it for the single player.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

I do, it's action packed and gives you that cheesy action movie hero feeling. It's nothing worth worshipping, but I like playing it and constantly replay it.

 

[The_Puppy_Prince]

I couldn't give a flying fuck about the multiplayer, I want to know what happens with Price and his GLORIOUS MOUSTACHE! Oh and Soap too I guess.

Lol
Why do you think Price has lived since The WW's
Skill,Instinct,Training,Demons?
Nah
Mustache Ftw

 

[Dalek Caan]

I only play for the story, which to me is the most important. I think in my whole life I have only played 6 games of COD online across all of the games.

 

[GoodGodItsAnOxymoron]

I played through the whole story, mind you COD 4 was the last COD game i bought. Back when the franchise was decent.

 

[The Hero Killer]

I only buy CoD games for the single player experiences they have. Mulitplayer is only a afterthought until I get all the single player achievements.
