Titanfall 2 | PS4/XB1/PC | Out Now

[Fatboi1]

It can hurt it because unfortunately even EA/Respawn does not have unlimited resources. I rather them focus on a great multiplayer experience instead of wasting thousands of man hours on a half ass campaign

What MP game you know of where it's SP hurt the MP?

Please tell me. because I'm sure some of your favorite MP games of all time had a SP campaign that didn't make an impact on the game at all.

The "The ___ will impact the SP/MP" argument is pure conjecture.

Destenys campaign is no different than Titanfalls.

Battlefield COD and Halo campaigns weren't that good.

Come on man, don't even

Son, come on breh.

Don't even get me started now.

Really?

Destiny's story mode was no different than something that doesn't even exist in TF 1?

Halo campaigns weren't good?

Wow, okay guys.

I'm done here.

I'm not even going to argue anymore.

It can mean a map or two LESS in terms of what can be done. There is a finite number of man hours Respawn can bill EA I am sure of it and I rather know going in that they are focusing on the strength of the franchise. Rather than some garbage ass single player game in a franchise that has made it clear that it's not the main focus.

This is enough:

HALO's story was done after HALO 3 as far as I am concerned. Who cares about the story of master chief these days? That shyt has been going on for 15 YEARS now...who cares outside of the diehard crowd?

That Halo 5 bundle was a fukking flop...turns out most have moved on from that same old narrative. Halo's strength has been multiplayer for 10+ years already.

Unless there's less maps than the first game, you wouldn't really know for sure.

Either way, let your disappoint set in now, TF has SP and nothing we say matters since it's coming.

Halo 5's "flop" could be attributed to a multitude of things.
For one, Bungie isn't behind Halo anymore and two, the SP from what I've heard was short and it was misleading. It's not even about the "story" but a good run through. MP is the bread and butter of Halo but there's definitely a healthy group that cares about the campaign of the series.

You can't just take it out because one game by a different dev wasn't well loved and think there won't be any backlash. Expectations weren't met with Halo 5 I'd guess. Plus, the SP in those games are MP enabled so essentially it's MP content since you can run through the levels with skulls and other players.

Still, being against a new mode in a game for what you perceive to be a Sp/MP only game is shortsighted imo. I'm sure nobody would argue that for example, a game like Uncharted 2 or TLOU "suffered" because they added multiplayer to the games. Hell, TLOU and UC's MP modes created a little online community that are now avid fans. To hell with the "This game should be this only!" mindset. Look what happened with SFV's reception and sales all because "but but MP only matters." Word of mouth damaged it.

Destinys story mode was the same as Titanfall. Only difference is one is co-op the other is pvp.

And I was referring only to Halo 5 campaign.

Destiny's SP had distinct levels that you play through with others that weren't PVP.

TF's "campaign" were just PVP matches with bots using the exact same maps and stuff from MP.
Destiny's levels had dedicated levels for SP and strikes. TF was just literally AI bots with a few lines changed by the people on your team. Hardly what I'd call "campaign". It was basically practice matches.

Either way, I'm not saying TF2's SP about to be GOAT or something special, I'm just not seeing why some act like it'll somehow hurt the game when this scenario rarely, if ever happens.

Destinys campaign levels were the same exact levels used for the general co-op stuff. They just had some story stuff on top, and maybe some different enemy placing.

Same way Titanfall just placed some story explanation on top of the general multiplayer game loop.

Neither were a dedicated campaign ala cod or what Titanfall will have this time around.

No single player is fine. \
But bots in online multiplayer

I guess.

Well, either way I couldn't care less about TF2 to be honest

I'll probably play the beta but these FPS games are usually boring as hell to me fast. I just don't find the kills and moment to moment gameplay satisfying. I felt like I was going through the motions.

it's hard to say since most of these games have some half-ass SP anyway. but resources are finite, and you could say some of the post release MP content (DLC) could have been part of the game at release. but the capitalist cynic in me says that probably wouldn't happen either

so we're at square one?

 

[daze23]

it is a rather circular argument. for years people clowned the idea of playing the SP campaign in a lot of these games, but then everyone was up in arms about TitanFall not having one. I guess you can't keep everyone happy, or maybe people just like to complain

 

[Sonny Bonds]

When I played Titanfall, I wanted a SP campaign. Why? Because while the MP was great, it was a little light on content. I'm sure they've done market research to determine that adding a campaign is better option than having a ton of multiplayer maps, I guess.
