Actually some of the best mp guides tended to ruin my solo play if I used them. And didnt do much for my enjoyment of mp. I can understand the strong desire to win in others but it doesnt define my idea of the best gaming experience. That concept of guides, in my opinion, when taken to the extreme leads to the people who enter a forum and the first thing they want are the cheat codes to a game. (Im not saying anyone here of course, its just my view of an extreme I-want-a-guide-to-win viewpoint)

I'm not too convinced by that argument. How can you rate something as "best mp guide" when earlier you, yourself mentioned that under your opinion, there is no "best" of anything because of variables?

Your right. I wanted to put "best mp guides" in quotes.
But I didnt want to give the impression that I was saying they werent great guides. The general consensus here on what the best guides are probably should be considered as best guides.

I just wanted to point out that it doesnt mean best for everyone. Im against trying to limit the definition.
