What are the appeal of FPS games, SP Campaign or Multi-player

Most people seem to love multiplayer. I only play sp. I don't have enough time to get good at mp.

I hear you on games like COD.

Those lazy asses at Activision don't even give you all new maps or graphics on their MP maps.

You can blatantly see where they cut and pasted elements from game to game.

Usually the FPS games I like best are pretty much only MP and cost less. CounterStrike and Left For Dead are my favorite two FPS games this generation.

for me, the appeal has always been in multiplayer. FPS are really only fun for me when I'm playing with my friends for bragging rights.

I always play the SP campaign first, but MP is where it's at

At least with battlefield, I feel like things have changed: Gameplay, graphics, weapons, etc...

With COD, I could play my old version of Modern Warfare and probably not miss out on much by not buying BLOPS 2. It all looks the same to me.

I very rarely play single player. I bought games like age of empires, starcraft, battlefield 3, etc.... all for the multiplayer. Never touch the single player modes.

Only time I really play single player is if I'm playing things like Final Fantasy 7-9, or doing my own dynasties in NCAA Football, Madden and NBA 2k13.

The only reason I play FPS games are to keep in touch with my old undergrad roommates. We usually set aside a night or two per week to play some COD (bleh) together for a few hours. I'm more of a single player guy... way more excited for Witcher 3 and InFamous than Titanfall, Destiny, BF4, etc.

I'm thinking our get together game for next-gen systems will be Destiny or BF4, both of which are more appealing than COD.

I always play some of the campaign just to get a feel for the weapons and gameplay before jumping into the multiplayer. I skipped it with BF3 and I suffered for a while because of it.

I play the new version mostly because of the updates to guns, gear, customizations and locations. Usually there are some new tweaks that the community has been clamoring for instituted also. Like the ability to choose your own load out in Blops II called the pick 10 system. The customized Killstreak selection for a specific class in MW3 was nice too.
However the main reason I play any FPS is for the MP experience of competitive gaming versus and WITH other people. I love challenging myself in a strategic game of cat and mouse to see which player has the quicker reflexes or tighter tactics.
I really dig the team aspect and communication required to dominate the other team. I have a blast playing MP games with my LESI buddies. Its like talking on the phone with a bunch of buddies while playing video games. We bullshite about life, sports, whatever and throw in the occasional call-out of where the baddies are.

I played BF3 because of the awesome MP, but mostly I stick with SP games. If the SP is good I don't really care if it is FPS or not.
