Most hate Multiplayer with a fiery passion? I think the poll dictates otherwise.

I think most people actually prefer Multiplayer over Single player, particularly when it comes to FPS's.

Suprised at the results so far, I assumed it was going to be like 60 in 'no' already.

The Escapist always has disproportionate representation of views. Those who like it will mention it when the time arises, like this thread, those who don't will find every possible situation to spread the good word. It happens with almost every topic.

OT: I very much enjoy multiplayer, I usually do better than most, even if I'm having a bad match. If I end up dying I'll get pretty angry at myself if it was something foolish and I'll get angry at the game if it was a lag issue but I can usually take a legit kill well. If I get too angry though I'll stop playing multiplayer for a few days.

I really like MP when it's the sidedish and not the main course...

A really good MP will tie me over when I finish the SP, same goes for mostly everyone...

But (excluding only MP games like MAG or MMOs) I really don't like the MP beign forced down the throat of consummers... Specially when the main game (the SP) suffers for it.

I like the IDEA of multiplayer most of the time

But the actuality of it is usually less than pleasant...especially since I HATE losing.

I'm surprised to see this many people not liking multiplayer. How is playing without friends all the time even fun?

I love multiplayer, it's a lot more fulfilling to play against a smart opponent who can reason than against some AI whose stupidity is easy to exploit.

I like multiplayer with my friends, gunning down anonymous people across the country isnt really fun unless im doing it with my buddies.

How is playing with a person you do not even know that insults your whole generation while screaming on the top of his voice that sounds like it hasn't hit puberty even fun?

I do infact play multiplayer every now and then, My playing style is quite different than current shooters do. I hate Iron sights and how they work in every modern game(except stalker, that is just brilliant but only in single player) and love team deathmatch more than death match. so that means I obviously love Team Fortress 2, which I really do.

It's ok, but more often than not servers are full of children who only know two words. Fag is usually one of them. I'll usually only go on MP with friends now, it's much better that way.

Only if it's split screen co-op. I don't have many friends with the same consoles as me, so online co-op or versus modes might as well be worthless.

I do play multi-player a bit, as long as I have a way to play by myself first and get good without a bunch of douche bags calling me a noob or whatever other crap they say while I'm still trying to learn a game.

I nearly always play multiplayer, I just get so much more of a kick out of beating people not machines.

i prefer cooperation to competition and would rather challenge myself against myself than another person who is compleatley diferent.
even in co-op i find pits one person against another even while trying to complete a shared objecttive this usually make me just zone out of the game and loose intrest.

As a rule a game has to carry itself on single player to be worth playing in my mind, If it has good multiplayer too, that's a bonus. I generally dislike games that focus almost entirely on the multiplayer and end up neglecting the single player game.

Notable exception: Valve. TF2 and the L4D series are great multiplayer games that I would hesitate to play by myself, however these games were designed with more than one player in mind.

I don't even understand why people find the annoying 9-year old XBL kid is so annoying anyway. I mean, the mute function is there for a reason.

I like LAN and CO-OP depending on who i'm playing with, but i don't like online multiplayer at all. Long Live Single-Player PC Gaming! Huzzah!

Actually, it's quite hilarious.

Also, I was referring to playing with friends too, not just random people.
