Nik, I think you MIGHT actually be in the minority
Most people dislike portions of the SP game, such as not being bale to fire from behind cover like the AI can. MP is a game like that is generally going to be a bit like CS, but the pace is faster or slower based on the map and teams and strategy is far more important than in CS since the combat system is part twitch-skill and part how much you've played, ranked up and earned extra items and options. You have to approach every game with far more care, even if you are a very good player. In CS, it was just slightly more skill based than Quake 3... which is to say it's more shoot, shoot and more shoot, and less cover, concealment and strategy.
