Here's why I'm fine with Titanfall having no single player campaign.

You said "if" quite a lot there. And there's always that possibility of a sequel not being as good but with a game like Titanfall the only thing they could possibly do is add more to it without changing its core/template. Not really sure what "mandatory" microtransactions are since you don't have to buy them in the first place. But Respawn's a smart studio, they don't have to listen to EA or MS because they own the game. But they will listen to the fans. Besides, who knows where gaming will be in 5 or 10 years. EVERYTHING could be connected to the internet.

Of course I said a lot of "ifs", thats my whole point, the UNCERTAINTY of the whole game being around and playable in 5/10/15 years time or even after the 2nd installment has hit the market (if they want people to migrate from TF1 to TF2). This is just my reaction to the OP calling it a "backlog" game, because IMO this can never be a backlog game when the servers are DOWN.

In 5/10/15 years I can still play all my single player games only EVERY console I ever had (at least up to PS360 generation), because the consoles will never require you to be online and do not even have ways to connect. Therefore I can say that I will have multiple consoles spanning over multiple generations of true BACKLOG games to play.

I feel you are just arguing with me just to argue. I am not saying TitanFall is a bad game, and I dont have any problems with it being online only, even though it is not for me. What I am having a problem with is the OP calling it a backlog game, when there is not even certain that the game will be playable in the future. Maybe the servers will be taken down in the mid of the generation, maybe at the end, maybe in 2 years, maybe in 20. But my point is still valid, this game can not be called "backlog".
