For you, okay no problem. We are all individuals.
Me, I personally have no interest what-so-ever in on-line play. Why would I
want to get killed a million times before I get a shot off! (yeah, I am
probably that bad).
I play games for the enjoyment of it. CoD1 had a great mix of ease,
challenge, and intensity. I loved the expansion pack, and look forward to
CoD-2. If a whole lot of other people feel the same way, such is life!
Hell can you imagine how Boring usenet would be if we all agreed!! The
horror, the horror!
