the recession of good singleplayers in games are directly the fault of CoD

I don’t think there’s been a recession of good singleplayer games, we just tend not to notice them anymore now that Call of Duty and other multiplayer games are everywhere.
also you forgot to add dishonored on that list
A lot of games nowadays still have good singleplayer
Wouldn’t tacked on multiplayer elements be more the cancer that CoD causes? I mean, look at 2K Games deciding that Spec Ops: The Line wouldn’t sell unless there was a multiplayer mode. The creators of that game basically said it was a cancerous growth on the game and should be avoided at all costs.
The sad part is, reviewers of the game actually docked the game points precisely BECAUSE the multiplayer sucked.
The first Darkness game and the Riddick shooter franchise also suffered from this.
No MP is better than shit MP.

I’m aware of that, but the focus of the games is usually on multiplayer. The singleplayer campaigns aren’t particularly long or well-paced, IMO, so it’s not something that I’d drop 60 dollars for on its own.
An SP campaign like in BioShock Infinite or Far Cry 3, on the other hand, I’m totally down with.
I like this false sense that single player is dying that has been around since like 07 when MW first came out. Sure single player games may not always be the big AAA titles being advertized hardcore and shoved down your throat but its not like they left or are leaving any time soon. The most we get is a stupid MP mode tacked on to SP games we like and we just ignore that. You can’t even really blame Call of Duty for that, its hardly Infinity Ward / Activision’s fault that no one understands they aren’t going to de-thrown CoD with some shitty tacked on multiplayer.
IRL nuketown for paintball.
p.cool.
One things for damn sure: The first free weekend comes up, me and my buddy are doing a totally criticizing commentary of the MP portion. Well. I am. My buddy’s going to be the “oh fuck” and “oh shit” portion of the commentary 
(Anyone who didn’t hear me bitch about CoD yet, you might actually hear so. But I sound like a little whiny bitchy kid, and the quality of the commentary is, well… matching the fact it’s a live commentary.)

Call of Duty is mainly played for multiplayer, yet as expected… it sucks. While on another hand, the campaign just like in BO1 is quite enjoyable and above-average, I love it. They should either cease making the multiplayer portion or fuc*ing hire better level designers. The maps in BO2 are completely unplayable, not even a single good one, BO1 at least had like 3-4 decent maps (no win either though). I dare to say it would have gotten a higher score if it weren’t for half of the package being good, half bad.
The Modern Warfare series has a slightly better multiplayer, but in reverse, the campaigns are lacking in comparison to Black Ops, didn’t even finish MW3 story, there was nothing to suck me in and hold me there till the end.
Treyarch should work on all future COD campaigns while Activision better hire some devs who can actually do the online part right.
Screw new engine, nothing is gonna change no matter what tech they use for as long as it’s badly designed. The maps make no sense, aren’t fun, balanced, are damn small, nothing right.
Omg guys they added dogs in this game.
It certainly looks like a better looking CoD.
Yeah.
What the hell is “under d” or whatever it was supposed to mean? It sounded exactly like tessallation. It certainly does look better but it still doesn’t look all that good. And it’s still Call of Duty.
Sub Division. It’s basically a form of tesselation.
Maybe your dog will betray you on the last mission or something.
Lol, the most emotional story ever.
Well at least they tried to do something prettier than whatever they used to be doing.
Some of the screenies are actually nice-looking. Not really sold on the game itself though.
