Its pretty evident from the path Battlefiend has gone that they're trying to take on games like Modern Warfare and Halo. Which I don't see why they are doing so. They had developed quite a good reputation as being one of the best online games out there, yet now they're trying to turn their game into a 'Single Player with multiplayer' game. And I feel a lot of people are going to be turned off by that, as most people who played Battlefield 1942-Battlefield 2 played it primarily BECAUSE it was a multiplayer only game.
I could be wrong and this move to incorporate a single player campaign could just add to their sales. But especially for me and all my friends who played Battlefield 1942/Desert Storm/Vietnam/Battlefield 2 religiously, we don't really have any interest in these newer games. Personally, they look like a blatant attempt to be like Modern Warfare, just using the existing Battlefield gameplay. And in the end, I fear the single player will just end up feeling like 'Multiplayer lite' or 'String of planned events and cinematics with a few gameplay objectives'. And this is the exact opposite of what made Battlefield unique and fun....the ability to go anywhere on the map and do anything to win in an environment of up to 64 people. |
It is still a multiplayer fronted game. The game releases in little over month and they only revealed the first bit of info on single player a few days ago.

Yes, but have you been noticing, their hyping for the game has been on the Single Player campaign. Which has quite a few similarities to its Console FPS counterparts. And they take every chance they can get to keep bringing up 'we're trying to balance the gameplay between the single play and multiplayer experience, trying to encourage people to play both'. Tht's all fine and good...as long as there's a reason to. But the problem is, the first Battlefield games established themselves as Multiplayer games above all else. And now its like they're trying to peddle back and tack on a single player experience because console FPS with single player campaigns are selling well.

People who don't know anything about the topic shouldn't speak like they do.
Holy shit have I been waiting a long time for this game...

And posting a bunch of the preview videos proves your point how? Here, I'll post a video as well. The one I directly quoted where the guy said exactly what I said before. That they were focusing on trying to make Single Player as big as Multiplayer and trying to encourage peopel to play both.
"We see it as almost a 50/50 effort as trying to make it 50 on Singleplayer and 50 on Multiplayer."
"If you are a fan of Battlefield, you are most likely going to pick up the product and go straight to the Multiplayer. Of course, we also want you to try out the single player as well. Its up to your tastes, try out whichever you want."

All of the hyping they have actually done for nearly a YEAR stands in contrast to that little PR interview. They've definetly focused a lot more on the multiplayer than they had in contrast to the last game, that's for sure.
Like Kylie said all of these months, and they have finally released ONE singleplayer video. That's the reason I posted all of those videos. If you have been reading the blogs, twitters, and the forum posts from the dedicated devs themselves, you wouldn't be basing your entire belief on that small clip.
If you're not hyped about the game, don't try to act knowledgeable on it.
