I love the Call of Duty single player campaigns. Always play them first.
This is pretty much where I stand with the Call of Duty series.

I always play through the campaign at least once. Sometimes I play through it many times. If it's a shooter on xbox, then it's all I'll play, since I have no Gold.
If it's on pc, then I will play the campaign for sure, and maybe follow up with multiplayer. I don't always play the multiplayer, but I make sure to always complete the campaign once.

I always play the campaigns. I felt robbed when Team Fortress came out without a single-player option even though I knew there wasn't going to be one.

Multiplayer has to offer the right options. I find Left 4 Dead very engaging because Valve balances the game so the team that acts like a team WILL WIN EVERY TIME. The sort of alpha-dog solo garbage you get instead of teamwork in most games really annoys me. More games should have a dynamic to keep people together.

Some games I skip the multiplayer. Starcraft II is a great example of this, I really don't need to have my ass handed to me umpteen million times to understand I'm not very good at the game. Same with twitch games like Modern Warfare, I loved the campaign so much I can't even tell you but I lack the fighter-pilot reflexes to be good at multiplayer.

you didn't give the option for 'I play campaign then maybe the multiplayer', thats how I go with FPS games.. if I enjoy the gameplay enough then I'll give it a go with multiplayer, otherwise it's all campaign for me..

Well most of the time I JUST play the campaigns because my Xbox is not constantly hooked to the Internet and my PC is not powerful enough for anything, but sometimes I play the Multiplayer over at a friends PC, or we play Splitscreen (which becomes rarer and rarer, sadly...we need MORE CO-OP CAMPAIGN MODE!!!)

if a FPS has a good campaign but shit MP... i can deal with it

but if it has a SHIT campaign and decent MP... not getting it

im a sucker for a good story with good gameplay(tho very few...BFBC2 is one of the few where MP/campaign is decent, same with Crysis)

tho there are a few certain games where its purely MP, DoD: S, CS1.6 :)

I would have already finished Black Ops' campaign if it weren't for the fact that it freezes every time I play the mission WMD.

I'm mostly into games for the campaign. Multiplayer comes second to single player for me. Multiplayer in shooters can be fun in short doses, but is loaded with bad connections, extremely good players, trolls, and loudmouths. So glad most games let me mute everyone before a match.

campaign...then multiplayer

I'm rather surprised at the poll results so far, cuz most people I meet nowadays skip straight to the multiplayer for FPS games

I always give the campaign a try first. It lets me get a hang of the game before I go up against fellow humans.

I always play single player. Most of the time, I'll beat the single player campaign before I even start the multiplayer. But either way, both can be fun. I don't get why anyone would only play multiplayer, but some people do.

I have a strict personal rule that when it comes to a shooting game, or any game that features multiplayer online and splitscreen, I will not go near it untill the campaign mode is completed.

Couldn't agree more man but like in gears of war, not like halo, I hear portal 2 is going to have a great co-op.
