On top of that, its only one mode out of many. If you haven't even bothered with the challenge mode, with behead the undead, stealth mode, banana chomp, carboard shootout, the monkey challenges and more, then its no wonder you haven't got into the game properly. Then don't forget arcade mode with its huge list of challenges - I'd like to see somebody complete "Nice Threads" on their first attempt!
The whole "I got bored with it" thing is a shame, as so many great games can get missed this way. I got "bored" with Final Fantasy 7 soon after the intro, but I gave it another half an hour, and I was hooked to a game that is now probably one of my favourite of all time.
On the graphics side, I guess Halo is technically superior, but that doesn't mean its better, just like cars in real life. TimeSplitters 2 is different, its fun, its fast, and if a person says they think it has the best graphics they've seen in a FPS game, then that's fine, that's their valid opinion.
Its a very poor excuse when a game relies on multiplayer chaos for it to sell. Thankfully Half Life 2, Doom 3 and Quake 4 are moving away from multiplayer focus and concentrating on what the majority of the market purchase games for, a DECENT single player experience which is worth parting with your £30 + of hard earned cash for.
Timesplitters is good, however it is far from my favourite FPS.
