Im pretty sure part of what made cod or halo big is the zany sp part, sure peeps stay for the mp but... No sp seems like a cop out for whats supposed to be a big game.

demi · « **Reply #1 on:** June 20, 2013, 06:32:31 PM »

Well, nobody invested in MP touches SP at all. Same for Battlefield.

I think SP for a new IP is a good idea since nobody really knows how to play... but, we'll see I guess.

Steve Contra · « **Reply #2 on:** June 20, 2013, 06:34:43 PM »

I never got Halo until I co-oped it with a friend. And then I got into the Multi. Seems odd to just throw SP out altogether.

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #3 on:** June 20, 2013, 06:35:24 PM »

I spent hundreds of hours in mp in the cods this gen.

But ive always played the sp first.

Its like part of the experience.

Sure I dont need it and ill still buy mp only games, but this seriously seems to hamper to potential of the game.

If youre trying to establish a new ip this doesnt seem the right way :/

Maybe they'll have bot matches like the old BF games did.

Raban · « **Reply #5 on:** June 20, 2013, 06:39:18 PM »

The last time I was this hyped for an FPS based on its similarity to arena-shooters of yore was Team Fortress 2, another multiplayer-only game, so this doesn't bother me.

It's especially easy to swallow given how Respawn is trying to weave the scripted/cinematic moments into multiplayer matches. Judging by the videos we've seen, I'd say their effort has paid off.

cool breeze · « **Reply #6 on:** June 20, 2013, 06:41:52 PM »

weird I kept reading that it's blending single and multiplayer. it's possible I imagined that.

maybe it is bots like eel said and dynamically subs in real players when available. bots are characterized by friends' shootatards.

Raban · « **Reply #7 on:** June 20, 2013, 06:44:39 PM »

They did say "blending single and multiplayer", and they went into detail about what they meant on day 2 of GiantBomb's E3 podcast. They want to have a decent amount of exposition and world-building weaved into things like the mission-briefings/level design/matches rather than leading you by the nose through a single-player stage production.

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #8 on:** June 20, 2013, 06:53:20 PM »

That sounds afwul imho

The two things dont mesh, i dont need no story when im killing noobs

But i do like my sp experience

Raban · « **Reply #9 on:** June 20, 2013, 06:58:22 PM »

Then... don't play this game? I don't think they want to bog your multiplayer experience down with story, but rather, give you the choice to engage with a story, where most multiplayer-only games have no choice at all!

When you put it that way it sounds like what Brink was attempting.

I get the feeling a developer comprised of the people who set the standard for modern multiplayer FPS, backed by what is surely a gargantuan budget, probably have a better chance at executing on that promise than Splash fuckin' Damage.

Huff · « **Reply #13 on:** June 20, 2013, 08:14:56 PM »

destiny is doing the same thing, i think

i enjoy single player as it gives you time to get to know how the game is played before getting raped in mp. it also gives players a chance to get to know the universe and story (lol) in a way that doesn't seem possible in a multiplayer only w/story beats

Rahxephon91 · « **Reply #14 on:** June 20, 2013, 09:16:10 PM »

Well I mean what they showed looked very mp. Either way, this deflates my interests. I just like to have a single player to go through.

This reminds me of Brink.

I've never played single player in the latest Battlefield games.

brob · « **Reply #18 on:** June 20, 2013, 09:40:56 PM »

Modern Warfare 1 had a nice single player campaign.

Rahxephon91 · « **Reply #19 on:** June 20, 2013, 10:21:41 PM »

Give me a campaign and all play though it as long as it's not terrible.

I played through Battlefield 3's sp two times because it's pretty.

I only buy CoD games for the SP.

I even played through Medal of Honor Warfighter's SP!

Their easy and take maybe a day. And I guess I just like the idea of playing this "experience" whatever it is complete with characters, places, and some sort of narrative.

So it kind of sucks when a game doesn't have a sp to me. And well I'm kind of interested in what kind of rolloar coaster ride TitanFall could have presented with it's mech infused sci fi world. So the news kind of sucks.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #20 on:** June 20, 2013, 10:25:17 PM »

File this under who cares.

If you're still buying multiplayer focused shooters for the single player you are absolutely doing it wrong.

I'm not disagreeing with what you said, and Brink was merely the closest comparison, but how dare you knock Splash Damage! Wolfenstein multiplayer was so goddam good back in the day...like ten years ago...just ignore what they've done since then.

Rahxephon91 · « **Reply #22 on:** June 20, 2013, 10:43:06 PM »

Quake Wars was good-ish. I wish more games would take it's objective ideas. Same with Frontlines. It has a good idea, and could be expanded on. I just want more objectives in online FPS. I've never liked deathmatch or whatnot.

nudemacusers · « **Reply #23 on:** June 20, 2013, 10:45:58 PM »

Doesn't seem like a game that really needs single play outside of skirmish-missions or training modes. I'm all for that, personally.

Didn't they already say they're going to have bots in the game?

As it is, Destiny is doing similar (yes, that's an MMOFPS but go with me on this) but there's no backlash over that not having a single-player instance. Why is it different here? Because this isn't an "MMO?"

i really don't get why this game is a big deal, besides the fact that they and MS are telling everyone that it's a big deal

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #28 on:** June 21, 2013, 12:51:40 AM »

Probably because it looks kick ass and its made by the people who created two of the most popular and influential multiplayer shooters ever. Not exactly befuddling.

from a quality point of view it's fun to point at quake 3, but quake 3 was a huge failure for id and a lot of that was pinned on the lack of single player. that was a really, really long time ago, though.

As they're incorporating story into the MP, it's more likely that the role traditionally held by SP's story will be in the MP instead. You can play Left 4 Dead as a single player game; it's just not the optimal experience.

You trade the ability to jump for dashes in the Titan, and other obvious trade-offs like being easier to flank but deadlier face-to-face
