Since there is no campaign they gotta save something for E3.
 
Reposting, since we're still getting a lot of "no SP campaign" posts.

Updated:

Okay, I'm gonna try to take a positive look at these things, even if some are very disappointing to me:

  • Only 40 player max per map? DICE says this was the appropriate number, based on their own testing/balancing. Map design is more important than player count. If maps are properly designed for 40 players, there's no reason the action wouldn't match the intensity of 64 player maps/games. That's always a big IF, though.
  • Only 4 planets in the game? Hoth (snow), Tatooine (desert), Endor (forest), and Sullust (volcanic--see the promo art). This does not mean there are only 4 maps in the game.
  • No SP campaign? There is not a specific campaign, but there are SP/co-op missions that are different from the multiplayer maps. From what I understand, this is just like Battlefront 2. Still no indication of whether or not Galactic Conquest is in.
    Rather than a traditional solo outing, Battlefront will rely on a set of short missions which can be played alone, or cooperatively via split-screen or online...The co-op missions are "connected," Bach said, "and they are quite different" from the regular competitive multiplayer. Missions are short, and intended to be replayed on higher difficulties. Producer Craig Mcleod offered more insight, stating, "Because it’s only a two-player experience you’re sharing with a friend, they’re custom built. "It’s not about pulling a section out of somewhere else and you just do them. I can’t go into specifics about what mission we’ll have, but when we think about multiplayer and co-op, what we’re really trying to do is immerse yourself in your Star Wars battle fantasies."

  • No controllable walkers? It sounds like Walker Assault (which is the only mode show in the demo so far) has AT-ATs that are on set paths, with the guns controlled by players. The AT-AT moves towards the rebel base on a fixed path, and the rebels have to take it out before it reaches the objective. It is still possible that AT-STs are fully player controllable.

  • No ADS? Yeah, that's right. You'll be hip-firing with the finest from the Empire!
  • No class system? It sounds like there are no classes, just a wide selection of customization.
  • No squad system? Squads are being eschewed in favor of "Partners". Think the Buddy system from Medal of Honor: you have a buddy that you can always spawn on, and you share unlocks with her/him.
  • No space battles? Yeah, that sucks.

Still getting mixed messages on whether Battlefront 3's "campaign" is very different from the prior games:

That is not the same. In Battlefront 2 you have the same exact maps from the multiplayer with a bit of voice over, the absolute barebones campaign you can think of. The single player they are working on for this game sound A TON better.

About this, this doesn't sound at all like previous battlefront games, or like Gal Con. There was a campaign with modified multiplayer maps in the battlefront games, but it also had a story. This just sounds like quick and dirty co-op matches against bots.

It actually WILL only have 4 planets by release. 2 Months later a free dlc will come with 1 more planet

November 17th... December 1st if you pre-order... December 8th if you don't... I'm only counting 2-3 weeks here, have I missed something? Does it suck that there's "day one DLC", yeah, but it's coming for free. It's just a matter of it being tied to an upcoming film, I'm not too upset about that being held back.

Yeah but graphics!

Multiplayer Only games are really tiring and repetitive. I prefer a good campaign with beautiful 1080p/30fps graphics.

Make a decent online mode 1080p/60fps for the online fans.

I think the Multiplayer-Only approach is bad and it's gonna hurt the game.

I have faith that E3 will bring us actual gameplay footage..let's wait until then to make our final verdicts. This can be called an early look at the game, more fleshed out than the reveal at E3 last year.

Ugh, another super-scripted MP gameplay demo. I hate those. I'd much rather see direct-feed footage of a person playing an entire match.
 
maybe they could remaster bf2 as some preorder incentive or standalone, I would want that. I use to play the hell out of space battles with my brother, they were so ahead of the time with those :\
 
What the hell, no campaign? And I am almost sure that there will not be an option to play battles against bots, like in the old Battlefronts. I just knew it. I was worried ever since I have known that EA got the rights to SW and that DICE is developing the game.

I am SO pissed right now.

Screw EA. Screw DICE. This is going to be just another shitty Battlefield.

So you people consider playing multiplayer maps against bots a "Campaign mode"? WoW.

Those were multiplayer maps? I didn't know, because I never played multiplayer in Battlefront. Still, considering that this game may be the same thing, I'm not interested. I'm glad they were clear from the start then. I like story-driven games. This is not one of them. So, I'm not buying it.
 
Steam is live in less than one minute!

Maybe he just wants to stop misinformation and jumping to conclusions?

Everyone gets it for free.

Nah...everyone trying to do that is actually on the EA payroll. /s
