Online is taking too much place. (over offline)

I mean, more and more games get online multiplayer but they dont get offline multi. That's stupid. You can play with your friends when they aren't there but you can't when they're there. Nothing's better than a good ol' 4 player split-screen deathmatch, and it becomes harder to find every year.

Agree?

I like offline multiplayer better.Nothing beats having a few friends over,turning on the console (the Wii,in my case.:P),and enjoying a few good hours of playing video games with them,in the same room.There is really too much concentration of online play,in my opinion.

EDIT: But I prefer an excellent single player,though....

It is because of the 360. It is the only true online console to have. It has a community whether you like it or not that can't be match by any other console.

ps. PC is not included because it has a more dedicated community then consoles.

I don't agree. You'll never have some ''OMG LOL!!!'' moments while playing alone

any multiplayer game without online is garbage IMO

thats why virtua fighter 5 is trash everyone wanted to play it online but sega was to lazy to implement it.

offline is garbage because its too inconvieniant i mean lets be real are you going to call your friends up EVERYTIME you want to play multiplayer. the answer is NO

meanwhile with ONLINE i dont endure the hassle of calling people i just plug it in and play.

Agreed, playing co-op on the same couch >>> playing co-op over a headset.  There's just more comradery.Spartan070

I agree as well.

However, my fear isn't of in person MP getting the back burner, but more the SP portion of games getting less and less attention.

single player experience first.

Then offline multiplayer.

THEN online multiplayer

offline multiplayer is vital

it sucks when u have a bunch of freinds over, and everybody wants to play gears. but you have to settle taking turns at two player coop because offline 4-player deathmatch is not an option.

more games these days need the 4-player split-screen option. its so much more fun that way.

yeah all its got is the two player deathmatch - which is completely USELESS

edit: oh yeah, and the two-player coop which is ownage, but it needs a 4-player deathmatch mode

Offline splitscreen is dead.SuperVegeta518

Then we live in a sad time in gaming history.

Yeah, I'm hoping games like Haze/Halo 3 have excellent offline MP because that's the most fun you can have with those kind of games imo.the-very-best

Did anyone else think that timespliter2's multiplayer was awesome? because my friends and I still play that gamelaughingman42

I don't have that name for no reason ;)

I hope Haze will be just as fun (same devs)

Why can't one system handle it?

I agree completely. nothing was greater than having a group of 4 guys over to play Goldeneye .Thrice_III
