"Assuming you don't care about the poorly acted, nonsensical storylines, predictable AI, done-to-death use of military scenarios, corridor focused levels, and complete absence of challenge and ambition that infects the campaign modes of most of the current crop of blockbusters, then yeah - it's a great time to be an FPS fan."
Over the years you can observe that the Call of Duty series has evolved into having a larger focus on multiplayer than single player since the publishers realized that the games were selling more because of the multiplayer. I definitely agree that the Modern Warfare series is guilty of milking it's formula. However I think that Battlefield 3, despite what's been said, pulled off a decent single player campaign. The storyline wasn't the most well written but the levels were all unique and actually were fairly difficult at times. IMO Battlefield 3 has the most rewarding multiplayer of any FPS to date because unlike MW3, team play makes the whole game experience a lot more enjoyable.
