Wasn't battlefront SP just the multiplayer maps, with a short cutscene and bots running around?

Same can be said about any singleplayer mode of any SP/MP game, if you are into retarded reductions.

I still play BF2 regularly on my PC. Haven't played it online in years.

And a healthy chunk of those who were anticipating this game are just like me.

Yeah, I know right. Those RPG like Dragon Age and Bloodborne. They're just really lacking for content
Never played Bloodborne.

But DA:I has lots of content. . .And is the most boring DA ever. It was as though they just wanted to drag it out. the last 3rd of that game felt like a chore.

IOW, EA can even frick up adding content.

I am not one of those people that think EA is the worst company in the world.

They are just the worst in the world at acquiring successful properties, and shitting all over the fans of those properties.

Other FPS games have storylines and flow along an arc. Adding a cutscene and doing the same thing as a multiplayer session =/= meaningful singleplayer.

I mean look at the story arc here. I'm in tears over here.

Lets not let nostalgia allow this idea that Battlefront II was some perfect game that had a mix a single-player and multi-player.

Only way to fix the DLC problem is to not purchase these games.

Also, no matter what the developers say, this game sounds like a Battlefield mod, not Battlefront.

I was being incredibly sarcastic. There is no measurable difference between the length of games now and the length of games 10 years ago. Especially with the genre of RPGs that is still elongated more than ever with the open worlds that are created.

might be wise to wait until the game actually comes out and people review it before swearing it off.

of course doing that takes away the drama of this thread.

oh and this link
quote:

I cannot stress this enough; there will be more than 8 maps!" he wrote. "Also, the amount of content in the game has absolutely zero to do with DLC. I can say that with all honesty.

"As for expanding on strengths of the previous games; I think most people will find that it does expand on the strengths of the previous games, when it comes to core gameplay and what the feeling of a Battlefront game is. Just my two cents.

"Please don’t make me break what I can and cannot say, but if you think there’s anything we’re not including in the game to save it for DLC, I can tell you you’re 100% wrong. In this project, I’ve never heard anyone say 'Let’s not do this for launch so we can do it as DLC instead'. Ever.”

Elsewhere in the thread, Nielsen said there's still lots to be revealed that hasn't been mentioned so far while promising "this is not a Battlefield re-skin. It’s using the Frostbite engine, yes, but not a lot of the Battlefield code." He also teased that while the game won't have classes, their will be "something different" to enable players to choose their own paths instead of cookie-cutter roles.

Finally, Nielsen talked about his hopes for the future, saying: "I hope there will be many more Battlefront games, and if DICE continues to work on them, that we’ll continue to expand and improve."

Ummm...this is EA. This guy is definitely lying.

Sorry, that is exactly what it sounds like.

It sounds like either a Battlefield mod or a Titanfall mod, except the "titans" have to stay on rails.

What this game doesn't sound like is Battlefront.

If that isn't what this game is like, these PR people need to learn how to talk to the public. They should know how to do this by now.

They could have just made a battlefield in a star wars skin, and I would have been so damn happy to play it..
