Fans of this game type don't buy a COD title for the single player, we buy it for the multiplayer. How good the cpu AI is never a huge concern and how innovative the game is doesn't really matter believe it or not. When you add real people to the mix no two games are going to play out the same way and the game stays fresh b/c strategies have to continue to evolve to remain effective.
That's the attraction of multiplayer games for serious gamers. I honestly think the majority of people who refuse to acknowledge the skill level necessary to perform well in an online FPS are the ones who have horrible reflexes thus having no chance of excelling in said competitions
With that being said, CODMW2 has made enough innovations to make both the single and multiplayer aspects of the game fresh and enjoyable. I'm not going to list them all but the choose your own killstreak and the evolving perks are both near the top of my list.

But at the end of the day, isn't multiplayer always fun? At least when it's with actual flesh and blood people in the room. I just think the industry has gotten incredibly lazy by making everything all about multiplayer, it's becoming a crutch for those that have no creativity left.
I love a good multiplayer but lets be honest, not everybody has friends, sometimes it's just you and the game, and while online play is the obvious alternative for that, playing with a bunch of f*ckwads online who keep throwing homophobic slurs at you for no reason whatsoever other than to be douchebags.... well it's not the same to say the least.
I should at least be able to play a game whenever I want and still have fun because friends just aren't that f*cking reliable most of the time to tell you the truth.
Single player is still highly preferable at the end of the day, because lets be honest, most of the time when I'm hanging out with other people we priobably wont even think about playing video games, but when I'm alone with nothing to do, which is basically all the time, then that's a completely different story. And sometimes friends just ruin the totally emmersive effect a great game can have.
