Uh, didn't I say MODEMS? Unless you've tried them on dialup sometimes too?
And OB1, how about reading what I said? Didn't I say that I do sometimes like FPSes in single player? I did have fun playing through Voyager Elite Force, Jedi Knight, Return to Castle Wolfenstein... and have had some fun in the multi too. It just seems pointless... there's no overall objective, it doesn't keep track of any records in any of the games I've played... like Battlefield's demo. It was fun... I just got bored of it after a little while (longer than most other online FPSes...). I know I would with the full game too... I'd know it's a good game, but just wouldn't have much of any interest in playing online. Just like all the online FPSes I have.
But... while I do have fun in the genre, I just don't like it as much as some (many) other genres. For instance I'd rather play Gauntlet Legends than Perfect Dark if someone wants to play a 4-player multiplayer action game on the N64... yes, they are action games too, but a different and IMO not quite as fun subgenre of them.
