    you can look at it as they ? up or they saved themselves and all the backlash and criticism from fanboys if they made some half assed attempt at a story.

    I like Titanfall that there is really no story in the traditional sense, but the "single player" stuff they offer is just a glorified tutorial for the MP matches

    Personally i didnt care if it had a campaign because they are emphasising on mp so in theory they would cut out developemnt of the story and just double up on mp developers designers debuggers testers etc... But they clearly didnt do that because the core mechanics are broken you spawn and die an obsurd amout of times even in your base its like respwaning into a firing squad and darth vader and luke are ridiculous. Its sad because so many mp shooters in the market are broken. This is a pass I wouldnt cop this game for 20 dollars. Honestly hardline beta was alot better than this. Id be surprised if it last beyond a cpl months unless they do some major overhauling by launch

    huh

    Star Wars: Battlefront will have AI-controlled enemies for single-player/co-op modes like Survival, but there won't be a proper single-player campaign for players to dig into. The reason for that, Electronic Arts Chief Operating Officer Peter Moore told Gamespot, is simple: Hardly anyone would bother playing it anyway.

    Moore said decisions like this are made years in advance of a game's release, and that can sometimes lead to problems. "Between when a dev team starts work on a game, and when it finishes, the world becomes a different place. I remember when we started work on Star Wars: The Old Republic; at the time, the model to go for was subscription," he explained. "By the time we had the game ready, the model to go for wasn't subscriptions. That's why we had to stop the game, and rebuilt it as a free-to-play title with microtransactions, but even then there were some people who said they wanted to keep their subscriptions."

    Responding to the suggestion that 'triple-A' games like Star Wars: Battlefront "traditionally" sell better with a single-player campaign than without, Moore said "you might be right," but that "very few people actually play the single-player on these kinds of games. That's what the data points to."

    EA has said in the past that Star Wars: Battlefront was intended to be a multiplayer game right from the start, but I think this is the first time that anyone has been so open as to exactly why that is. Do you agree? Numbers don't lie, as they say, but would the presence of a single-player campaign make you more likely to buy the game? Or is the online action really where it's at?

    http://www.pcgamer.com/ea-skipped-star-wars-battlefront-campaign-because-nobody-would-play-it/

    "hardly anybody would bother playing it anyway." they don't know that. I've noticed lately that a lot of game developers are going cheap and taking the shortcut by skimping on the storymode and jumping on the online multiplayer bandwagon(gta v i'm looking at you). I've seen the first sign of this with golden eye wii. i'll let rockstar slide a little with that because they said the number of people who didn't finish gta IV cause them to make the decision for a smaller story mode with gta v. still though I feel that sacrificing story mode for online is a cheap money grab.

    one more thing I have to say is this game better be heavy on content. lots of maps, customizations, unlockables, game modes etc.

    this game would have been perfect if it had a campaign mode similar to battlefront2. just a cutscene with narration from a character or two, luke , han etc. then you just go to the map and fight.

    4/9 second game,

    ? killing the ? outta me

    Sounds like your Running straight into the battle crouch and walk slowly to the points also stay behind cover

    I catch allot of people so thirsty to run in to battle running wily nilly all out in the open makes it easy for me to ? them take your time

    Coming from counter strike go to this game my aim feels like its robotic that game really sharpens your aim for ever other game

    Put a few rounds in. Lots of fun. Better when the two sides actually go after the objectives. Room full of people doing that was GOAT. People standing back trying to snipe make me wish the game had friendly fire on.
