Borderlands was a pretty good Singleplayer/Co-op shooter.

No. The FPS genre, along with the fighting genre shine their brightest in multi player game play. If you do not want to play multi player, do not play it. It does nothing but add more quality to the title. Games like FEAR have multi player. But still have a fantastic story. To avoid the game just because it has multi player is foolish. ACx7

Half Life 3. Or Episode 3 of Half Life 2. You know, if it ever comes out...

It always seems that a game has to have mutliplayer nowadays. Unless they make the single player campaign mode that is like 10+ hours or so.Inmate_69

Bioshock is the only one that really comes to mind.

Talk about an amazing SP experience!:o

Give it a while. Online shooters are all the rage right now, but people will eventually get sick of them just like they did with Guitar Hero. Activision will make damned sure of that.

Afterwards we may see developers once again turning out games with quality single player campaigns.

How about Dead Island (released in August)?

And here's a gameplay video.

A zombie-infested paradisiac island! Got my copy pre-ordered.

Yeah? No?

Portal 2 may not be your average fps, but I am pretty sure its still considered an fps and it is definitely a sp focused game. Especially since the mp has almost no replayability.

Bioshock Infinite?

Otherwise, a game out there called STALKER 2 is being made for the PC, 360, and PS3. If you haven't played the first 3 STALKER games on the PC you probably have no idea what it's about, but basically it's kind of an open world survival/horror series that is very atmospheric.

Another game to keep on eye on is Metro: Last Light, sequel to the 360-exclusive Metro 2033.

killzone 3, crysis 2, and bulletstorm all had great campaigns. too bad most people completely ignore that and simply whine about the multiplayer or lack thereof. im almost ready to say "**** the gaming community." people have totally lost sight of what makes games great.

BioShock...seriously, does this question have to be asked so much?:?

Bioshock
Half-Life
Borderlands

Im pretty much repeating what the other guys are saying, but Single player FPS aren't dead, and won't be :D

This. I just bought it recently and it's great.

I was running into this problem as well and ended up getting AC: Brotherhood, but that's not the point. It seems like the only fps games with a good sp are bioshock 1 and 2 (I actually prefer 2), maybe Singularity, and yeah that's about it. Brothers in Arms Hell's Highway may be a decent length since the mp craze came after that. I don't count the orange box since HL2 has been out already. Really, I was going through my games and realized I only have seven fps games mainly due to the fact that I don't see a point in spending a lot of money on a game that's only 4-5 hours long. I'm hoping Battlefield 3 will have at least a decent length (hopefully 8-10 hours, I know not really that big but it's still better than the standard 4) though I'm not getting my hopes up. Plus, even if you get a game that's short they usually want you to keep buying dlc for the mp to get more money, just look at COD and KZ2 and how it pretty much failed with MAG. Well, at least next year we get Bioshock Infinite, that shouldn't disappoint.

Hi. Rage. Bye

Dead Island may have multiplayer, but single player is huge and looks fun.

starwarsjunky: if thats the case, how then can u explain certin downgrades to the length and content in story mode campaigns such as bioshock 2 for example. compare the first bioshock (which had no multiplayer) to the 2nd, there simply is no comparison, the first one was funner, longer, more detailed, list goes on..... simply BETTER in every way. do you really think thats just coincidence??? trust me it isn't. dude i've seen so many games suffer tremendously because of multiplayer being added in sequels i can't even count. if i were to try and name them all i'd end up writing a book... lolShangTsung17

You act like a multiplayer portion somehow detracts from the singleplayer.

A completely different developer worked on Bioshock 2's MP so your point is moot, Bioshock 2's MP was good anyways...

I actually prefer the story in Bioshock 2, or at least what I've seen of it so far (a little more than halfway through). Granted the 1st one will always be the classic one in the series and rightfully so, but there's something about the 2nd one that I prefer. Now the game I've seen suffer the most from a short sp is MOH, because the sp was actually getting good and then 4 hours in it just ended, not to mention the mp wasn't anything special.

Medal of Honor was not four hours, it was longer unless you were speed running, there's also Tier 1 mode which was a lot of fun. I don't now why everyone hates the mutliplayer, I really enjoyed it, it was like CoD without the cheapness and campers, with a little bit of BFBC2 thrown in.

portal 2? bioshock 1?

what the hell are you going on about? you clearly don't know much about games do you? there's a lot of first person shooters that have solid single player experiences as well as multiplayer. Seeing as your on gamespot you might aswell have a look now ...

I had MOH on the hardest difficulty and beat it in 4 hours (maybe 5, but no longer), sorry. I was just playing it as I would any other game, and you couldn't really speed run in it because you would die quickly, so I just played it at a normal pace. The mp wasn't horrible at all, just nothing special and with a lot of spawn campers. I did however enjoy the campaign, it just didn't offer enough for me to want to replay it.
