Thanks for the updates. I don’t know if I’ll get to many (any) of these games, but I sure like boosting my Steam library. > [@Teuton](#): > > Does it have any single player? Is the single player any good? It’s one of the few FPSes that people know for the single player instead of the multiplayer. As **Jophiel** suggests, the plot is a bit mindfucky. ---

> [@Teuton](#): > > Does it have any single player? Is the single player any good? It not only has single player, but the developers are on record saying that the multiplayer is complete garbage that was forced in by the publishers. In fact, I think they has to bring in a separate team for it because the original people wanted no part. It’s very much intended to be a single player experience. ---

A weekend is more than enough time to get depressed by playing it, so it works out. ---
