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.

This is the problem, you may have your own large screen, but it's not the same without the presence of someone else around you.. You almost feel like you're playing a singleplayer game when you are it COD or Halo 3 matchmaking and most, if not all, of the other players have no mic or don't talk... I usually play singleplayer games such as oblivion if no friends want to play multiplayer with me... Even being in a party is more boring than actually getting a custom game or matchmaking lobby going... This is the reason I've accumulated 2409 custom games in halo compared to my 1031 matchmade games... I'd rather have fun with friends than rank up.... After all, having the most fun as possible is the sole purpose of gaming anyways is it not? Many people today get addicted to a "fun" game, then stop having fun, and just grind as if it's necessary to be a general in halo, or level 55 or 65 in either of the two active COD's. I know when I get addicted to COD every once in a while I can't stop playing SnD until I rank up a few times, Truthfully I'd rather play custom games but it almost feels necessary to get the newest prestige symbol, guns, and challenges. I also think the limitations in some private match systems should be removed, in private match for every game you should be able to customize just about everything(halo did a great job with this, except there are fixed percentages in certain aspects that are mostly 5% 10% 50% 100% 110% 150% 200% and so on... You
should be able to pinpoint the percentage desired to exactitude.
That right there would almost eliminate the problem in itself, customization is adored by players, the more armor, guns, gametypes, grenades, symbols, private match options, etc; the better.
