[AgentOtaku]

Here we go!

Also, BF4 campaign is nowhere near as bad as many made it out to be

 

[RandomExpletive]

Hopefully its worth playing through, unlike 4s.

yes it was

 

[Saucycarpdog]

I'll be completely honest, I did not know this game would have a campaign in it.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

For some reason, I was thinking they weren't going with a single player campaign this time. I personally think they're a waste of time since I haven't enjoyed a DICE single player campain so I would have rather they just put the resources towards more multiplayer content, but the WWI setting might make for an interesting campaign.

Yeah

Fuck Irish

 

[RoKKeR]

Very interested in this.

 

[Kalentan]

Huh. For a bit there I thought there was going to be no SP trailer. Well my expectations are below the ground, so maybe this can be decent?

It is when the progress bug forces you to replay the first mission over and over and over and over....

 

[Oneself]

Here we go!

Also, BF4 campaign is nowhere near as bad as many made it out to be

Agreed!

If it's decent, I will definitely enjoy a new BF campaign.

 

[Duxxy3]

Here we go!

Also, BF4 campaign is nowhere near as bad as many made it out to be

I made it up to a tank section and abandoned ship (abandoned tank?).

 

[Mechanized]

I forgot this had single player. Can I just like... buy multiplayer and get $10 off or something?

 

[zsynqx]

Definitely interested because of the setting.

 

[Tizoc]

Was there any word on the SP campaign allows for offline co-op like CoD games?

 

[Timu]

Here we go!

It's not that great either, plus those bugs.

 

[Snkfanatic]

Very curious to see what they have in store. I played through 4's and had a good time at least with it.

 

[Kiru]

Yeah

But

But

Fuck Irish

I still don't know why he was called Irish.

[bombshell]

DICE have been tight lipped about this game's campaign for some reason, but the few details they've let slip is about it being different than the last few Battlefield campaigns.

Battlefield's campaigns have mostly been set in tight corridors with close-quarters combat, lacking the openness and variety that the multiplayer provides. That doesn't seem to be the case with the newly announced Battlefield 1, however, as lead designer Danny Berlin told GameSpot at an event that the campaign "will more accurately reflect Battlefield's open sandboxes."

Berlin continued, saying DICE's World War I game will feature "much more choice and variety than [it's] done before." He also said the upcoming Battlefield's story will be about a multifarious group of people "dealing with the changing world in their own ways," and it'll allow players to take various, more open approaches.

You've talked about the game telling multiple characters' stories. But how exactly will that work? Will we switch between the characters?

Aleks Grondal: We're changing it up this time. I can't go into too much detail, but the goal is for you to be able to explore multiple different stories from multiple different perspectives. Think about it like this: if something cool happened over here, and something cool happened over here, we'd rather not have a story that jumps from all around the world. We want to have personal, relateable stories we can tell in a space where they actually make sense to be.

For instance, in the trailer you see one of the characters - actually you see a few of them - but one of the heroines we have is on the horse. Her story takes place in Arabia. We provide different gameplay flavours and also thematic flavours. So it should feel different than our previous campaigns.

[Grisby]

Looking forward to hearing EatChildren's historical analysis of the new trailer.

 

[Alienous]

Conceptually it seems like they are doing something less involved than BF4's effort. Unless I'm mistaken the missions are supposed to be vignettes of various WW1 battles instead of something more cohesive, so it could end up being an expansion of Battlefront EA's approach to missions.

For some reason, I was thinking they weren't going with a single player campaign this time. I personally think they're a waste of time since I haven't enjoyed a DICE single player campain so I would have rather they just put the resources towards more multiplayer content, but the WWI setting might make for an interesting campaign.

I'm sure there are DICE employees with expertise in making single player games that just need something to do.

 

[xxracerxx]

I hope this is going to be a good SP campaign.

 

[TheRed]

I look forward to its graphics

 

[BarringGaffner]

Here we go!

It's not 'bad', it's bland, mediocre, and a waste of time.

 

[AgentOtaku]

Yeah

But

Fuck Irish

Not even Micheal K. Williams could such a throwaway, shit character work
DICE went full Killzone2 Rico with Irish, unfortunately

All of this sounds promising!

 

[vixlar]

Make the SP as good or bad as you want, Dice, but please, don't make it mandatory to unlock weapons, gadgets or something like that in Multiplayer.

 

[moai]

was the bf4 campaign glitch ever fixed? the one that erased your progress. i was hit with that two times and abandoned it.

 

[TheSinkingKnight]

Was there any word on the SP campaign allows for offline co-op like CoD games?

I highly doubt it and there's only been 2 COD's to do that.

 

[Carlius]

good, finally, the only reason i will be buying the game.

 

[The Last Wizard]

I highly doubt it and there's only been 2 COD's to do that.

Yup and the latter was complete shit partly because of it:/

good, finally, the only reason i will be buying the game.

Here's something I never would've thought to see someone say about BF

 

[jaaz]

good, finally, the only reason i will be buying the game.

You're buying a Battlefield game just for the single player campaign? Really?

 

[LelouchZero]

I've been really looking forward to seeing the single-player for this game.

 

[J.G.]

Has DICE ever made a campaign (not counting Mirror's Edge cause that's not a shooter) that has managed to be more than mediocre? More than a decade making fps's and they always end up being mostly garbage

People will say BC2, but frankly that was pretty hokey too.

 

[Venom Fox]

Absolutely disgusting how DICE and EA are portraying this war. Some Top Gun style shit doing fly by's while photographing Nazi's...

Spoiler

Looks cool as fuck, wonder whether they really did photograph things from planes back then?

 

[Prisoner KSC2-303]

This has the potential to be a great single player mode. The problem so many campaigns have is the focus on trying to tell a complete story from one perspective. Multiple characters in truly different locales, with an overarching narrative has so much more scope.

Fingers crossed they offer larger environments and greater wiggle room for how to tackle objectives.

 

[XPE]

People will say BC2, but frankly that was pretty hokey too.

Nope people wont even say that. BC1 was decent due to it being slightly more light hearted it was a nice change in tone compared to other games.

 

[Jawmuncher]

considering how late this trailer is coming I'm not expecting much. Easily think it'll be BF3&4 quality campaign, meaning it won't be worth playing.

 

[Gamezone]

Probably too scriptet, as always.

 

[hydruxo]

Here we go!

Also, BF4 campaign is nowhere near as bad as many made it out to be

It was really boring. I was so ready for it to be over with when I was playing it.

Hopefully BF1's campaign is better.

 

[KageMaru]

I really hope this unique setting allows them to make a campaign that isn't completely shit.

Here we go!

Also, BF4 campaign is nowhere near as bad as many made it out to be

It's one of the most boring campaigns I've played, beaten only by BF3.

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

I'll be completely honest, I did not know this game would have a campaign in it.

what Nazis

 

[Simo]

I never bothered with BF3's campaign, I think I did the opening mission and just called it quits to play multiplayer even though my friends told me it was actually pretty good. I only played and finished BF4's single player because they locked one of my favorite LMGs behind completion of it and even then it was a bit of chore to get through.

So honestly while I'm sure the trailer will be slick as hell tomorrow I'm likely not going to bother playing the campaign.

 

[Venom Fox]

.

what Nazis

Exactly

 

[Neuromancer]

Hopefully they pick a fresh dubstep or hip hop song to go with it.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Here we go!

Also, BF4 campaign is nowhere near as bad as many made it out to be

It's sole saving grace is that BF3's was worse.
That's not saying much...

 

[AgentOtaku]

I legit understand all the criticisms at BF4's campaign and I guess all I can say is that I LOVE it's gunplay and technical prowess. It's a gorgeous game and that shoots real good essentially

 

[Toa TAK]

FUCK YEAH

I'm fucking hyped (for whatever reason) for their single player. I did enjoy BF4's for what it's worth.

Also:

LMFAO This is incredible.
