I'm not competitive at all and I find there are a lot of asshats in online games, so probably singleplayer for me (though I do play WoW). I like epic stories and massive set-pieces etc. and being able to do whatever I want. :P

Been put off too many games by the amount of kiddies and complete ********* that play them, though playing with real-life friends is great of course.

In WoW for example I would never insult someone because they were a bad player, I might give them polite advice but that's it, however 90% of players aren't like that.
 
No option for both :(

Play them both around the same amount. Couldnt really go one of the other all the time tho, like the best of both worlds :p
 
For a good while now its been single player, because every game is usually something fresh. With multiplayer, i find once i become quite good at anything, i stop playing, because theres nothing really left to learn, no reason to continue etc (i get too competitive, me and relaxing online dont go together :p).
 
Find myself playing a lot more online than single player recently, seems to come in roundabouts for me. I will spend a while playing offline then a period playing multiplayer. Although when i fell into the WoW pit i really didnt play anything else for a couple of years.

A lot of people site the idiots online as reason for not playing but that is honestly what keeps me coming back. i never fail to laugh at the behaviour of some people when they get online. Seeing how serious/worked up some people get over gaming leaves me feeling rather well adjusted :D
 
Love both of them, but out of the two choices I went for Online. I've spent the vast majority of my gaming time from 2002 playing online.
 
I'm a single-player person.
I don't get any kick out of multi-player at all. On the few occasions I joined a game I was put off by the cheaters and obnoxies.
 
Not voting as I like both.

Single player for set pieces, ability to choose difficulty etc.
Multi player for more challenge, and the fact the game will always be unique and therefore lasts much longer before being boring.
 
Nothing will come close to multiplayer games in terms of randomness, I remember staying up till 3-4am playing CS back in beta stages, then all the way up to CS:S.

Getting a group of mates to run shot gun only teams or TMP only and still kill everyone.

Or on prodigy getting the whole team to suicide over the edge :D

Probably over estimate your skill, you will always find that n00bs will call the good players cheaters.

Depends on the game, I have found though that I tend to just play games that have a single player option purely offline and games designed specifically for multi-player online.

So Crysis and FEAR2 offline and Battlefield 2142 and Team Fortress 2 online.
 
Online 99% of the time, when you have a good clan, i have been in Foxhound Clan over 2 years, offline gets very boring, i enjoy the socialising that playing online brings.
 
Difficult decision!

Single player, when done right is brilliant as more often than not its telling a story. MP is great but lets face it, its very repetative
 
Huddy, add a ton of us from the L4D names thread :)

There's always a few games every night being played, I tend to only do VS games now, as they're more fun.


Everyone's friendly, with a healthy mix of veterans and beginners.

Voice comms is handy, but most of the time I'm in the same room as the gf, so I'd get ripped apart if I used mine, so I tend to be mute :D

^^ Perfect example of what I was on about earlier.

When I haven't played BF2 for just One week it takes me maybe two full rounds before I am back up to speed so how can a noob expect to drop into his First ever round & not get pawned a bit. If you take it on the chin & have a laugh about it you will be encouraged & helped, If you get stroppy & start slating vets as Cheaters then you will be Tea bagged until you leave.
Try dropping into a game & hanging with some vets with a more Casual attitude it's Much more fun. :)
 
^good point

if someone calls me a cheat in TF2, I go out of my way to only target them :p
