Well yes since not everyone have online access to multiplayer so campaign have to make up for that unless the game is internet only like Team Fortress 2.

If you mean the single-player campaign, certainly it matters.
I like an evening where I can actually get into a game without being shouted at for being a noob.
Immersion in an atmosphere is somewhat lost when you can hear/read people going on about what happened on SGU last night.
I play multiplayer so preposterously rarely, largely due to my crappy internet, but also for the reasons listed above.

If you're gonna add a campaign mode then you better damn well make sure it's good. Or they could just be honest with themselves and not have a campaign mode anymore and make it multiplayer only and drop the price.
That's my thought about games that have multiplayer. If the single player is terrible I'm not gonna waste my money that obviously is selling for the multiplayer.Vonnis said:
Personally I think the Call of Duty story lines are fun as hell to play but not the best. I'm currently enjoying Crysis 2's campaign it's spectacular. YES campaign matters if you buy a game and only play multiplayer you are firstly a bit of a douche...seriously.... Some poor sod put effort into that story and you're playing the multiplayer which has more flaws and problems than...a thing with a lot of problems (drew a blank there). Play campaign it's an essential part to the game besides you'll find that a lot of maps are based on campaign (although I guess it could be the other way around but makes more sense for maps to be based on campaign)
Come for the campaign, stay for the multiplayer- unless the campaign is so good that I don't stop playing that. So, you see, campaign is more important. I would much prefer a game with no multiplayer but a great campaign over a game with no campaign but great multiplayer.
I'll only even play coop online multiplayer anymore, and even then, only occasionally. If you don't have a story, and I paid more than $10 for your game, the campaign is going to be more or less the only thing I judge it on, no matter the budget or genre.
Unless they make MW3 entirely Multiplayer, then a single player campaign is important. Even though they are getting smaller each year, there are plenty of people that will not play multiplayer.
That is the main reason why I hate Starcraft II. I do not give a shit about what people say, the game is only a third finish. I like having a story in my games. I am not interested in perfecting my strategy to the point that it is rote memory. I want to know how the Protoss and Zerg are doing after the last game. I am not paying full price for a game that was a third of the way done.

campaign will always matter i dnt believe that a game can run by on multiplayer alone... with a few exception (TF2)

The game I'm making is multiplayer only, because I don't have the time/patients to make a story. (Though I might make a free story only chapter based thing later on) But the game is based on a book that I'm writing, that has a really diverse story...
But story really does matter in games that will include it. I love COD campaigns, there just too short... maybe I should have a COD marathon- and then maybe it will size up to a normal campaign...
but with games like Mass Effect, story is the only reason for it.
So yeah, Campaign good.
