Only one flaw in your cunning assessment of SP... that they like it.

As you know I have been me!

ie ranting, poking tongues, making fun and occasionally saying something of use or digging up a reference to back something up.

So you all know I am complaining about the tactical interface and the way things are going towards Diablo II... now for those not in the know head over to the Arena forum and check out the Diablo II thread... it is where MTW players are trying to make a Diablo II group to play with each other on the BattleNet servers... I really like DII.

Anyhow I have never played MP. I am SP. The campaign for me gives more depth to the tactical combat, it gives me objectives. I like tactical combat, I like variety in my games too. Pause is for me in SP a necessary evil. Before I used to be on call 24/7... I was an elite IT support technician and that is part of why I gripe about poor support from others as it is way beneath my professional standard. So call from million dollar client pause game or turn off shower... now I am teaching ESL... pause is for my wife a far more demanding form of client. But pause is not a way for me to play the game, I do not want to pause 24 times a second so I can play the game properly.

So in short I play SP and I play it because it is one of the few games out there with tactics and strategy.
