You know it's a real shame that DICE can't seem to make a good single player campaign. I love a good story, and Battlefield could absolutely do it, but either DICE only does it to check that box, and they really don't care enough to put some real effort into it, or they actually do try, but lack the necessary talent to make a compelling single player mode.

bladimir2k Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I find it ironic that the battlefield series started off mostly as a multiplayer game. COD forced their hands to add a campaign to their series, now COD is going the other way and only releasing a multiplayer game and is successful at it.

I don't truly agree with this statement as there have been great single player shooter games with great story that don't need to be multiplayer games. (e.g. current wolfenstein series) Also I vaguely remember that one of the talking points regarding why battlefield started adding campaigns was that gamers were not seeing the value of just a multiplayer game at the current time on consoles. They looked at COD and they had a whole package, single player campaign, multiplayer and zombies for $60. Gamers did not want to pay $60 for just a multiplayer game. Times have change with the introduction of Overwatch, PUBG, Fortnite and games being more a service over time than just a single player experience. Gamers are more accepting of a game just being one mode I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are quick, cinematic 5-6hr romps. However, in the case of BF, it seems that their approach to a "live service" seems that they are releasing key features post-launch. i would much rather they just do away with it since everyone really only plays BF for the MP anyway.

I’m speaking about COD or Battlefield/Battlefront type games. Those games are multiplayer based and really don’t need a single player campaign.

If Battlefield actually has consistently good campaigns I think we'd all be singing a different tune. I mean look at the older CoD campaigns, like CoD1, 2, and 4; all great campaigns that are enjoyable, fun, and replayable, and are in addition to the fun multiplayer. We seem to only have this mentality that Battlefield doesn't need a campaign because they've all been so bland. If they can finally crack the code to making a fun campaign I'm all for it.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 @Brick - OK, I'll grant you the CoD campaigns as being damned fun for what they are, but DICE has swung and missed with the campaigns for BF3, BF4, and BF1. It's really not worth the effort or considerable resources to keep at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I agree that NOW it's probably a good call for it to be multiplayer only. But COD is basically the game that forced BF's hand to make a single player story.

ALIEN-gunner Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Without a story campaign these $60+ games would be a rip off. Especially COD where they keep using the same game engine year after year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say they should at least outsource to a different studio, but they did that for Battlefront II and even that didn't work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
