I'm more of a single player person, as I'm just not good with others. But against someone else, I can do.
This goes for anygame that has the option, as well as any platform on which to play it.
However, on games where it is meant for multiplayer, or the multiplayer is exceptionally good (Borderlands, Lost Planet 2, Army of two, Gears of War, Halo) I have do play multiplayer. As long as my partner isn't an idiot.

If most games would NOT have a crappy netcode, I would be VS, but as I have the best internet available to me, and the games lag like a mother.... I definatly have to go SP.
I've never feared Death or Dying. I've only feared never Trying.
People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.
The best game to find out what U are , single or co-op is Gear´s of War 2 and then U play Horde ...( well I think so )
And the one that needs most help is for sure a single player . But in these sort of games U also develop a certain role depending with who U are playing with .
Try it out with 4 friends in the same room ( 2+2 sets )
For example the co-op in Conviction was brilliant. The co-op, even though it was a primarily single player game, in Halo CE and Halo 3 was also amazingly fun with 2-3 people - 4 was a bit far but still great. Stuff like RTS's I cannot play with other people, the only exception being Supreme Commander (1, mind) because the epicness means that huge coordinated Land/Sea/Air battles with 200 bombers each and swarms of tanks and mechs all converging from two sides is just too awesome to pass up.
Otherwise most of co-op to me is gak. CoD5 wasn't bad though, now you mention it.

Oh, Death was never enemy of ours!
We laughed at him, we leagued with him, old chum.
No soldier's paid to kick against His powers.
We laughed - knowing that better men would come,
And greater wars: when each proud fighter brags
He wars on Death, for lives; not men, for flags.

And with modern games, it's just fething hard to do. The system has to render the whole world 2, 3, even 4 times. With higher end games that's just not possible, because nowadays even 1 screen's pushing it.

If I'm at home, then I'll play on my own, because I find it annoying constantly having to shout at my brother "go right! No RIGHT! No that's left, Good, that's right... NO DON'T walk off the cliff!"
If I can play with freinds, then I'll play Co-op, the Spec-ops portion of Modern Warfare 2 springs to mind, because most of my freinds who I play with aren't complete muppets.

It might ruin the atmosphere of the game, or it could drastically reduce your chance of completion (No paul, dont throw the bomb at me) but its still an incredible laugh.
Yea, like.. halo co-op, usually ends up with us trying to rush at some hard part without shooting, to see who can run the farthest.
Though we'v completed halo 1 on legendary without firing a single shot.(except for rocketing/grenading the reactor) the rest of the game was either ran through, or clubbed to death with our guns.

Single player...
The only one of my friends who isnt a d-bag on an FPS has got 15 days in TF2 and somewhere around 10 in CS: Source.
Basically spec-ops for Modern Warfare 2 is him sniping and actually hitting stuff and me spraying LMGs all over.
So yeah, single player is more comfortable for me.
Also, considering the NPCs are fail compared to people on multiplayer, it makes me feel like a pro.

My buds and I did that in Halo 2, during the Arbiter level with the flood. See who could run the farthest away without fighting while on legendary.
The record? ABout twenty two feet.
The increasing amount of games that now have single-player 'tacked on' (the recent Call of Duty offerings spring to mind) make me mad.
While I agree that CoD's single-player feels 'tacked on', it's still quite good. The story isn't that good but it gets really challenging.
