fearing MP is ruining the potential of SP because 'it takes up space on the disc that could otherwise be devoted to make SP more awesome' is silly. The only way to fill up a 9gb disc without expanding the production time is by using larger textures, 4096's for everything, etc. And the downside of that is memory usage and loadtimes go through the roof, and the consoles/pc performance will suffer astronomically. So yeah, you can fill the disc either thru oversized textures, or uncompressed videos... sure you can fill up the disc with bloated SP assets... but the overall experience improvement will be marginal at best. Filling up the space with an entirely new MP mode and all its trimmings is smart and efficient.
Once and for all guys, seriously... MP is NOT in any way detracting from the production or quality level of SP. 2k is doing its own thing with SP, half a continent away.
