Yep, I agree with most of the article. Here is a reference to what I consider the amount of freedom and choice most modern FPS SP games provide the player (I threw out a link because I suspect most of you aren't old enough to of actually seen and played this game): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon%27s_Lair

Note the section under Gameplay. And when they say "instead of controlling the character", they don't do the game justice in how stupid it was, you literally watched the game play itself and hit a button (yeah, one lousy button) at certain points, it was literally, a button masher with zero control over the game.

And just like the MW3, it made a ton of money at point of release.
