While I think there should be lots of effort put into making Crossfire
a good multi-player game, I do not think we should abandon the solo
player. For various reasons people can't always play multi-player. I much
prefer playing multi-player, but there are often times when it simply 
isn't possible, so I want to be able to play and enjoy Crossfire solo.
Certainly it should be more difficult playing solo, but it shouldn't be 
impossible.
