Playing with friends in person makes the experience ten times as awe-striking and enjoyable, something the "great, badass, totally convienent" online system has taken away. Sure, you can talk over mic, but it's not the same as in person...
Agreed on this.
7 friends and i try to get together on every other weekend or so. Extremely fun when we are all playing custom games together, although recently its been someone on CoD or some other game, which isnt as fun.
But you cant to that really often, so online multiplayer is really the only way can be fun over a long period of time these days.
