Call this an Afternoon Hangover after a Friday beer lunch (man, I miss those)...
Obviously this is spurred by Modern Warfare 2's release next week, but it's a question applicable to any game with multiplayer. When you boot up a new game for the first time, what takes priority...playing through the story, or hopping online and getting a jump on your stats?
Personally, I can't do anything multiplayer until I play through a significant portion of the single-player campaign. This is for a couple of reasons:
- I'm a little sensitive when it comes to story spoilers, even in bad games. (And bad movies, and bad books, and bad TV...) Better to get through the experience myself before co-workers casually mention that character/event/location either died/happened/exploded. I've heard enough chatter about MW2 already, and the game's not even out yet.
- I need to get familiar with the basic control scheme of a game before I embarass myself in the public arena. Movement speed, aiming sensitivity, weapon familiarity...I need to know the particulars of all of these things so I can properly blame them for finishing second-to-last in the round.
- I always forget to recharge my headset, so I need a few hours alone anyway.
So this Tuesday...perks or plot? Render thine opinions!

I like y'all's idea, I think I'll play the first section of the campaign to familiarize myself with any differences from 4, then switch to MP for a while, then come back to the story while softly singing "J**z In My Pants"

I really like to beat the campaign on the hardest difficulty before I job into mp on many games but with MW2 I'm not sure what I'll do first. I have alot of friends that will be online playing and I love the mp but I'm really excited about the story. I'm sure I'll end up playing the first couple levels on vet and then switch to the mp for several games and then go back to the campiagn and then repeat this cycle until I have the single player beat.

I always go Single player first. I love the stories, the twists and turns of the games I play, so I will always play through the tale first.

multiplayer......how is this even a question?....i will pry play for about 3 months before I even look at single player

Single Player. If I 've finished it and I'm totally bored I might try the multiplayer, but to be honest I haven't played a multiplayer that I've actually enjoyed. Grid is probably one that I have spent the most time playing on, but getting your connection dropped at random, glitches and d-bags make it pretty much useless.

I will be playing the campaign for a few missions, then go play a bit of multiplayer, and back to the campaign later that day.

I like to play first on single player and then on multiplayer. I like to get used to the controls and what not first.
Melankoly
2 words. multi player

I always play through the single-player campaign first. That's just one of the myriad reasons SOCOM: Confrontation is such a letdown. Sorry, I digress.
I play through single-player (that is what I buy the game for) for some immersive storytelling with me as the protagonist, and hopefully scooping up some Achievements/Trophies. Then it's off to the multi-player to get pwned by foul-mouthed racist kids. There are still good laughs to be had after muting the dolts.

Single player campaign first for sure. On veteran difficulty.
JimDanD
Usually i have to play through the entire campaign before i start any multiplayer, but for MW2 i might go in to multiplayer first, but ill switch back and forth until i beat the campaign.
Plasma_Cake

o_NIGHT_TRAIN_o
I play the right way single player first then multi-player.
noporcru623
well what happens with me is i want to or start playing single player and then like 5 friends will all be playing multipklayer or asking me to join and i just have to, so i never get around to play single til much later bc this happens often

Multiplayer:D I'm a very good cod 4 player and since the the controls are the same I will pwn mw2 too;) and everyone starts at the same level, so you will face a lot of noobs (sorry) in the beginning. Playing hc with kriss.45 and m16 (2 primary weapons:D)
