Well get a job you lazy hippie!

Great decision. Let single player games remain single player games, and let multiplayer remain multiplayer. If you can mix them together (sports games, strategic games maybe) ok, but any story driven single player game should just remain that.

Oh hey, good news.

hmmm.... I think this will be a day one buy for me now. Not only because I loved Metro, but I always have thought it better not to tack on MP to a series that didn't traditionally have it. Now I'll get to see if that view was true or if I'll have to eat my own words.

I've never heard of Metro until now, but I have to wholeheartedly agree with this. All the best multiplayer games are those that have a strong single-player mode anyways (with the exception of fighters).

I haven't heard of it either until now. Three cheers for the focus on single player, I might consider getting it :)

co op would have not been bad,, but i am all for single player, previous metro was a very good game, sad i couldnt get the good ending i really liked the shooting people in that game

Agreed. Co-op would have fit the game world and game style quite well.

I agree to this wholeheartedly -- multiplayer isn't a bad thing unless it comes at the expense of single player. (*cough*goddamnEAwithitsmultiplayerstatements*cough*)

And if the developer says it does it for exact reason, I support it.
