Should have put an Option C: On The Fence because I believe that's where I am with this game right now. I'm leaning towards single player though, because I want to experience the game's story and potentially new feel before I go online.

Single.

multilayer 2x me and my friend both agree that online way more  important to get ranks

I'll play a few campaign missions before jumping into multiplayer.

Definitely at least an hour or so of single-player, but I play these games for multiplayer. Never even got past the carnival defense in COD4. Got bored and went to play Headquarters.

As for pretty much every game, I play the single player, then the multiplayer. I will probably go to the multiplayer before I beat the SP, but MP waits.

I will play a little of both but I won't delve heavily into the Multiplayer until I have beaten the Single Player story

single player first. i only start the multiplayer one i fully completed the single player.

Single player.

I'll whiz through single player as I did with COD4 and get rankin' it up straight after.

Single player. I do that for all the games, but not because I feel like I need to get used to the game.  I just prefer single player.

 usually i save the single player for when my friends aren't on live, so ilI probably give the mp a go first, because most my friends are getting it on the games release date.

Singeplayer, I need to get back into the groove of the game before I go back online.

Not sure.

Most of the time I would go for Single, but for an IW Call of Duty game I go stright for the Multiplayer

Multiplayer, soon as I got CoD4 I jumped straight into online action so that is what I'm going to go this time around as well.

I'll probably play an hour or two of the singleplayer then jump into the mulitplayer.

I'll finish the single player first, so I can get used to the controls and all before taking it online.

It's been stated that like 70% of people who played Modern Warefare 1 never touched the single player, such a shame, it was pretty good....

Try out some single-player, then hit up the multiplayer. Just like I did in COD4.

I have no idea. I will probably do some of the single player before going into the MP, but I doubt I will finish the campaign before then.

I think i'm going to go with the multiplayer, I want to beat my friends to 10th prestige (or how ever many there are).

I always play the single player first in games.

I play the single player first. No matter what game it is.

I'll probably beat the single player multiple times before I even touch the multiplayer (at least if its as good/better than the first game's campaign).

usually play single play first then i move on to multiplayer.

Single. im a bigger fan of the story and missions than multiplayer.

I find that if you play multiplayer first it ruins sp.  For example if there was an insanley cool looking snow level it could be showcased much better in a structured environment of single player than in a chaotic MP game where you will be headshotted before you even check out those cool snow effects.  MP maps can also ruin plot points ----KZ2 SPOILERS----
such as the post nucler detonation map in KZ2.

single player

Always got to beat the campaign first.

I need to see what happened to Captain Price...
Single player

Single-player. All the way through. At least once. Then I'll go and try multiplayer but I always wait on MP.

Kinda surprised by the results, always thought people ignored the single player in Modern Warfare

definately campaign first. story line in the last was good and the multiplayer is just too chaotic

Definitely the single player, it's good to have a nice idea on how the guns handle and so before you dive into the mulitiplayer.

SP. Then MP until i hit the highest rank. Then got back to SP to finish all the achievements, then get pissed while beating vet. Beat vet, 100% ach...never play the game again because i have it after playing vet.

im gonna sit down and play single player till its finished, then play multiplayer all night, like with 4

Single player has to be witness first and foremost.

I will probably play the single player all the way through, than go to multiplayer, and then go back later to single player to try to beat it on veteran.

definitly singleplayer.

Single Player. I do that with all games. I like the joy of going through the story, discovering all the new gameplay features and weapons slowly and structurely. Then I'll start playing MP after about 1 week of finishing the SP.

I'll do the same thing I always do, beat single player first hten multiplayer.

The only time I didn't do that was with GTA4

It mostly depends on the game. If I'm familiar with the genre, I might be quicker to jump into multiplayer. Sometimes, I never even touch the multiplayer.
