So I started with Halo 3 online back in 2007, then COD4 came along and blew it out of the water. I've got 32 days logged on COD4! I bought Battlefield 1943 when it came out had some fun but now I'm bored with it.

So now I am really sick of online playing. I don't think I'll get back into it until Modern Warfare 2 comes out.

I got engrossed in Mass Effect single-player and loved every minute of it (I'm on my 3rd playthrough). And I recently bought the old COD2 for $13. I'm having the time of my life playing that campaign! :)

So, anyone else currently sick of online and enjoying single player more?

Nah, not really. I try to switch but i gotta admit that i miss a good sp, not just any sp but a big one, a great rpg like mass effect2 will surely be. Halo3 never gets old for me though :)

Wait, thirty days in CoD4? As in enough hours of play to equel thirty two days? Anyway, I'm kind of tired of competitive multiplayer as well. I'm starting to lean toward co-op though. I hope more games start incorporating modes like Gears of War 2's Horde. I really enjoy it. And campaign co-op is always fun. But i really would like a good Japanese role playing game right about now.

Im kinda sick of online gaming...I'm sick of people writing off games as being bad because of a lacking or non-existant multiplayer mode, for example could you imagine how popular a game like Bioshock or Mass Effect would be if it had an online MP ? They would possibly be the best available games on the market lol.:P

I'm not sick of online gaming, but I am sick of Live. Which would explain why I haven't played Live in a long time.

Not sick. I just don't play often. I prefer some single player or better, co-op with my brother/friends.

Um, maybe that's 32 hours--I haven't looked at my stats lately, but I rank around 17,000 in Kills out of some 7 million gamertags. I have spent WAY TOO MUCH time on the multiplayer in this game. It was like crack for a while.

you should try some other types of online games. try burnout paradise or any other good popular racing game. or try halo wars or try gears of war or any other kind of shooter besides fps also, if you're sick of halo, try playing in the MLG. less little kids and asshats who drop. and u get more of a challenge against serious players fighters are awesome online too. play sf4 and soul calibur 4. both are great online

Same here, I'd take a game with a good single player campaign (Mass Effect,Fallout 3,etc.) over Halo 3 or cod4 any day.

I've always played more single player than multi-player. Only online shooter I play is Halo 3. I've had it from the day it came out and to date I've only played about 600 matches. TC it sounds like you play too much online COD. 32 days playing the same game is insane. I would've got bored of it long before that. Maybe branch out beyond the Call of Duty games?

I've always maintained a fairly even balance in my gaming between single and multiplayer.

Ive always been sick of online, games now get bad reviews if they don't have online ! That is ridiculous seeing as though PS1 games were always great & didn't have online. Devlopers need to spend more time on the story than what online modes will be on the game. Just my opinion as I prefer a lengthy story over a 5 minute deathmatch.

If you keep playing the same type of game then you are bound to get tired of it sooner or later. Make an effort to play games from different genres and it no longer feels like all you've been playing is shooters.

Actually YES...IM very tired of online gaming. I have cancelled my GOLD LIVE after having it since it launched for the XBOX. I have been an online gamer since 1999.

Starting with the PC Unreal Tournament,QuakeIII and then up to the Medal of Honor games and some COD2. I started LIVE with Return To Castle Wolfenstien and loved it.

BUT over the years its gotten more anooying with glitches, cheaters and too many patches and updates both PC and Console...I love playing a good single player game or some good splitscreen coop or deathmatch. Its just more fun and that was what I was missing over the years.

I think the main problem is developers are pretty much not allowed to make a great single player game with no multiplayer any more. If they do they get mediocre reviews which then causes the sales to crash. So what we get now is a short single player game with a tacked on, mediocre multiplayer experience that somehow managed to drain half a game's development resources. In that respect, as a single player junkie, I'm very fed up with multiplayer games.

I'm not tired of online gaming because the multiplayer modes aren't fun, I just don't like that the majority of the people you run into on xbox live are idiots. Co-op MP is a dealbreaker for me though because my wife loves gaming and I usually don't have time to play something on my own, unless it's just a great game that I MAKE time for :P

I agree with every word of this, I enjoy online, I just hate how games get bad reviews because of a non-existant MP. Also developers can now just slap a campaign together and call it a day as long as the game has MP lol, which is absurd.

I can't say I'm bored of online, more bored of certain games online. I played GOW2, COD5 and Halo3 online a hell of a lot, and other games but not as much. Halo 3 kept me coming back, I have NEVER got bored of that game online, friends and me have sat there and played it for hours at a time and not got bored.

The only problem with all- single player games is replayability. Sandbox games= replayability. First person shooters (except bioshock and a few exceptions) without online= horrible.

You do know bioshock 2 is gonna have online competitive multiplayer. anyway for me i have tryed to get back into online gaming but it's hard for me to, im pretty much terrible at online gaming, i used to be really good, but once you stop and take a break, its hard to maintain your skills against people who play daily.

Yeah, I just don't understand why some people see lack of multiplayer as a dealbreaker to buying a game. There are just some types of games that don't lend themselves to multiplayer at all.
