i grew up on sega before the whole online console gaming took off in the 90s i honestly play more offline then online when it comes to your shooters its almost always the same you have your team death capture the flag basicly the same old same old kinda tireing really however listening to little kids complain whine and moan for no reason just because you shot them in the face kinda refeshing.online gaming i think has become sometype of werid must have and for dev`s to make it and bow down to the publishers they but in muilitiplayer i honestly can say online gaming really is peace of heaven especialy when they have to but more time into online then the offline i can see why do to the mass appeal of it but some goods do well even without a online muilitiplayer batman arkham aslyhum and batman arkham city i think can be used as a exsample 

well is online gaming a always must have or not?
