Black Ops II Designer Thinks Gamers "Should All Play Multiplayer"

The first Black Ops had Combat Training. But I think it's fair to be annoyed people aren't playing the multiplayer. In the same way as I would be annoyed if I'd spent all my effort making a realistic pinball machine in an open world game and nobody played it. But then again, it is a pinball machine...in an open world game. ie. there are plenty of other things to do in the game. Don't complain if people do them. You put them there.
After skipping 3 COD games, while the last one made me figure out "Holy shit I hate playing with these people", I was actually sort of thinking about MAYBE picking up the game a while after it comes out, whenever I have some extra money around. You sir, just lost yourself another customer by being a complete ass hat. I hate Activisions guts and I was actually considering to purchase the next one. And yes, I prefer Single player and Co-op way more then Multiplayer. Still, I do enjoy them from time to time, and COD 4 and MW2 have good memories, specially with the campaign and the Spec ops mode for Modern warfare 2, which was REALLY fun with friends. Now, I rather save my $60 for something else. Don't tell me what to play and not play, and if you're trying to advertise for that bland multiplayer, start by not being a total asshole.
What a fucking retarded statement to make. Newsflash, some of us prefer singleplayer over multiplayer. Some of us don't like multiplayer at all. To claim that anyone *should* do ANYTHING is asinine, but this takes the cake.
And here I thought the game looked somewhat interesting for a while. Well, now I'm never going to touch this game's multiplayer if I ever do get it, just so I can continue bugging the shit out of Treyarch. Which means I'll also be waiting for a major price drop. Which, knowing Activision, will never arrive.
To be fair, I can sort of see where he's coming from. This guy's worked hard on the games multiplayer, and he wants people to play the expiriance he's put together. Granted he could have worded this better, but what can you do about it.
And as for people who're whining about the kids playing the multiplayer (Which seems to be all that ends up being talked about whenever the topic of muliplayer is discussed), there's two very simple things you can do.
1. Mute anyone and everyone
2. Jump into party chat either with your mates or by yourself, then you won't hear anyone in game chat.
And I don't know about you, but I find those little kids who have a nice ol' sook over COD rediculesly funny.

I hate MP, I simply do not have the time to get good at it - it's frustrating because there are people who spend 10 hours a day playing, and I just can't do anything.

Because I love the change from a high speed shooter single player experience, to one where you run around at 90 mph knifing and teabagging people.
Allow me to convey my feelings to this is significant detail:
It began as absolute screaming outrage, malformed into outrageous and sickening laughter, then devolved into incoherent crying.
WTF Activision. Are you guys hiring the EA PR department to issue comments on the industry now?
STOP PLEASE.

I think the context is in the interview, he's talking about all the cool stuff that they've added to the games multiplayer, and it 'bugs the shit' out of him that people who don't play the multiplayer won't experiance all the hard work he's put into it, which to me seems like a fair thing to say despite its heavy handed delivery.Buretsu said:

Seriously Mr. Vonderhaar, you should respect that not everyone LIKES running around getting shouted at and having insults hurled at them by assholes under the influence of the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory.
