I rarely have time to pop into this thread to give a decent argument or read all the posts...
But I'll say that I prefer SP over MP games unless the MP game is in a controled enviroment, like when I played goldeneye or bomberman on the SNES and N64 with my mates.
Only played Diablo 2 on SP because I wont suffer the stupidity of some of the people who play those games, cheat, kill other player characters, insult over chat...all that stuff. I'd rather just be able to predict other character behaviour or know that it has limits to its behaviour (so the char wont spontaneously decide to just rob from me or kill me).
You see, 95% of the time in an MP rpg your not dealing with someone who would 'role-play' their character, you're usually dealing with a idiots who will just do whatever enters their head at any given time! So the 'noble' paladin character you meet sees you have a good sword he wants so they just attack ya. Or they talk to over chat like "n00b yr8 prikk!! hahaha"
I dont see the attraction.
As for things like unreal tourn and quake etc....rubbish mindless crap IMO. And often the winner is the person with the better net connection.
