This looks really good. I hope single player doesn't suck.

This article, Why Star Wars Battlefront Doesn't Have a Traditional Single-Player Campaign, originally appeared on GameSpot.





Battlefield developer DICE's upcoming shooter Star Wars Battlefront will not have a traditional single-player campaign. Now, the Swedish studio has provided more details on that decision.

Speaking with GameSpot today at Gamescom, senior producer Sigurlina Ingvarsdottir said Battlefront's history is rooted in multiplayer, and this is something DICE wanted to carry forward with the new game.

"As we concepted the game and thought about the legacy of the previous Battlefront games--they didn't really have campaigns, they've always been predominately a multiplayer franchise. That's what we wanted to do," she explained. "We wanted to focus on the multiplayer."

DICE, of course, is well-versed in multiplayer. The studio created Battlefield, and hopes to carry its experience on that franchise forward to Battlefront.


"From the start it had a pure multiplayer focus," Ingvarsdottir added. "It was a lot of the pedigree of the DICE studio, in terms of having delivered great multiplayer in the past, and for us we feel like this is more of a multiplayer franchise. So that's been the focus."

Although Battlefront won't have a traditional single-player campaign, Ingvarsdottir pointed out that the game does have a Missions mode that you can play either alone, or with a friend locally via split-screen or online.

Some fans are not happy about Battlefront not having a single-player campaign. But the game--based on one of the biggest and well-known entertainment franchises on the planet--of course was never going to be able to please everyone.

"People have so many expectations toward Star Wars," Ingvarsdottir said. "It's so vast. There's so many things that you want from it. We have to focus."

Previously, DICE general manager Patrick Bach said the studio never even considered a single-player campaign for Battlefront.

Earlier today during EA's Gamescom briefing, we got a first look at Battlefront's 10v10 dogfighting mode, Squadron Fighter. Battlefront launches on November 17 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.

cop out

give me jedi knight III in the battlefront engine and take my goddamn money

THIS

thats absolute bullshit about their reasoning. Typical, everything is multiplayer nowadays. eff ea.

This is the way gaming is leaning though. People are happy with their multiplayer and spend more time doing that than on single player campaigns. I can see the single player games fading out the next 10 years if people keep clamoring for MP content.

Me, I want my story and love a great single player campaign. I thank Naughty Dog for putting out such stellar games.

i'd honestly rather play split screen than online more often than not. ONe of my fav times growing up was playin with my brother.

I like both.. The problem though is trending on incomplete multiplayer or broken balance for the 60 dollars.

No campaign huh? It's ****ing 'Evolve' all over again.
That game ****ing pissed me off. Beautiful gameplay, excellent idea. Shit the bed with
repetative gameplay.
Ugh...
I'll give this a shot even though it's from EA. we'll see.

I'm ok with no campaign. this game was never designed for it, its just going to be a big pvp game. This game i will play if its good. First EA game i will even consider playing.

No campaign is ****ing bullshit.

I think I will stick to playing candy crush.

Yep.

The problem for me personally is that EA knows it has people like me by the balls with or without a campaign in the game. It's a massive Star Wars game that is damn near cinematic in detail, and they know people will flood to it when it's released.

EA gives zero ****s about the bitching of no campaign, even if it makes no sense not to have one. I guess they figured the "side missions" you can do solo was enough? Whatever, assholes. Just take my goddamn money and choke on it.

If it is priced accordingly it is not a big deal. If it is 30dollars or cheaper then it is worth it. If not? I am not paying 60 for it. Same with Hardline, I would pay 20 for it and that is it.
