as long as it won't affect singleplayer, why not... |
What game got affected by adding MP?
|
Modern Warfare 2
Modern Warfare 3
Battlefield 3
All have forgettable campaigns. BF3 is the worst offender. I've played through MW2 campaign probably 4 times looking for Intel for the trophies, and the MW3 campaign 3 times so far, and at least they are enjoyable, just short. BF3 is very forgettable though, the only mission I actually wanna play again is the dogfight, and I'm not a huge fan of the whole scripted mission either. At least when in combate you can choose who to shoot. Dogfight is completely linear.

I'm sorry, but with all due respect, you are 100% wrong about Battlefield 3. You may be right about the single player portion of the game being forgettable. But you are wrong about the MP ruining the SP.
And here's why:
The Battlefield games never had real single player story modes before BF3. They tacked it on as a way to compete with COD. The battlefield series was always about big multiplayer matches and untill BF3 the seriese only had bots as an option for offline play.
As for Modern Warfare 2 and 3. I thought the SP in both was fun like a big action movie blockbuster. No more forgetable than a flick like ID4.

I was complaining mostly about the length of MW campaigns. They are fun, just short and that takes away from the whole thing. Not having an in-depth story makes it more forgettable.
Why include the single player in BF3 then? If you aren't gonna make it good, then don't include it. And you are wrong, Bad Company games had campaigns, and Bad Company 2 was quite fun.

Whether or not to include a single player campaign in a multiplayer game is another topic all together. Someone asked the question "What game got affected by adding MP?" You gave Battlefield 3 as an example. But BF3 didn't add multiplayer, it added single player.
As for the Bad Company games, they are spin offs. The simply titled Battlefield series itself did not have a story mode until BF3. But it doesn't really matter because nobody is argueing that adding a story mode ruins the multiplayer. People are complaining about multiplayer being shoe horned into singleplayer games. Battlefield 3 is the exact opposite of that.
