Not that I disagree with the message, but I think a bit of perspective is important. The two games being flaunted as single-player failures here are MW3 and BF3. DICE, BF3's developer, has never been a solid single-player production house (though the campaigns of Bad Company 1/2 were far better than BF3's is). Infinity Ward, developer of MW3, was gutted following Activision's dismissal of the studio's two founders and the subsequent exodus of talent after MW2 was released.
That's not to say that the overall state of FPS campaigns isn't disappointing. I'm looking forward to seeing if Respawn (the Infinity Ward founders' new studio) can do anything to reverse that trend.
I think the important point is these are two of the biggest budget/selling FPS games on the market. True there are other FPS games out there, but BF and COD seem to be setting trends.
