Electronic Arts confirms single-player campaign for Star Wars Battlefront 2

Great news for fans of Star Wars demanding an experience of single player for the series of Battlefront, returning last year focused on multiplayer. And now Electronic Arts have confirmed the presence of a campaign for a single player in the upcoming Star Wars Battlefront 2.

Thank you.

[IndominusRex]

Hopefully it isnt short like bf1

[andrewsquall]

Its DICE, why WOULDN'T it be?

[_-EDMIX-_]

? Lol I'm not entirely sure how long you think it's going to be or should be, I'm not worried about lengh, I'm simply worried about it being good at all.

[Relientk77]

Finally, hope its good

[morganfell]

Finally? Finally would apply if they had provided it to BF1.

I can't even get myself play past the tank level of BF1 ( I know you don't have to play the scenarios in order). The ai is terrible, and levels often look like Conquest maps,with enemies and objects placed in them. I don't see how BF1 got praised for it's campaign, feels like a big tutorial with stories attached.

A few of us tried to warn people about Battlefront and we were shouted down. When it was first announced we said there would be no campaign. We were shouted down and told we were wrong. We said they would cut everything they could to make the release of Star Wars Ep VII. We were told we were wrong. When Dice said there would be no Space Battles we raised our voices and most said shut up that Battlefront wasn't about Space Battles - these youngsters had obviously not played the previous games. I then said watch them make Space Battles as an add on and sell it back to us and I was laughed at. Instead of providing a campaign to Battlefront which they could easily do, they are going to force you to buy another game to get what should have been in the first game and people will do it. They are their own worst enemy. By bending over for EA they insure that is what they will always have to do for EA. They must like it.

Battlefront gave me numerous red flags since it was announced, no campaign, no space battles, no droids and clones, obviously short dev cycle. Then you have EA, and DICE admitting there was no campaign so it could launch near the The Force Awakens, and sell of the success of the film. The shallow, boring, imbalanced kiddie shooter combat I experienced during the beta was the final red flag for me.

I also had friends trying to convince me to buy it, and I kept saying no. I and was right not, most people who I knew bought the game played for less than week and walked away. Never have played a shooter so dumb down. All guns, had the same range metrics, hard aiming, full auto fire, burst firing and hip firing don't matter since bullet spread is random. Grenades regenerated, abilities recharged in seconds and you don't even have to manage ammo. Also, the vehicles and heroes spawned as random tokens, so any idiot can pick them up by chance. If EA wanted to make such a half-ass shooter, they could of just took BF4, modded it and had the heroes as battle picks ups. The combat would of better, had the game used battlefields classes, gun mechanics and keeping an emphasis on team-play like Battlefied and the Pandemic Battlefront games. Even if the game had a slapped on campaign like BF4, the multiplayer gameplay would of kept players more interested.

^The way DICE designed Battlefront is a red flag to me, they abandoned everything people loved about BF2 and none of these changes improved the game in any way. I will not buy another Battlefront as long as they continue with this dumbed down abomination.

[daBUSHwhaka]

Great news EA.If you can get it as good as BF1 story then were onto a winner..

[_-EDMIX-_]

I personally just want them having several smaller stories like they did with Battlefield 1.

[slavish0]

I hope its coop and they add bots to multiplayer

[masterfox]

Thats good news :D.

[TheColbertinator]

A story specifically built for Battlefront 2 would be nice. Something like the story of Republic Commando or The Force Unleashed

[JEECE]

Hopefully all those people who bought titanfall 2 for its singleplayer will be excited for this.

[joethetimelord]

Aww man, I haven't played Battlefront 2 in years. Time to reinstall.

[Artemidorus]

Don't know why they just keep battlefront 1 and keep providing updates or new season passes.

[Blu3_Berry]

But is the campaign a throw-away campaign? Just to appeal to the single player people in mind without trying? That's the question.

[WellyUK]

yes that is what it will be like with battlefield, because like Battlefield it's a MP focused game.

[BlakHavoc]

This news alone doesn't excite me, hopefully the campaigns actually good and they don't pull a Destiny or Division.

[winter_hill]

Just so long as the campaign isn't forced online, or they can get f*****d.

[Skankinruby]

Learned their lesson just like titanfall

[andrewsquall]

Uh oh, so not one but two sub par game modes confirmed then. We know DICE can't do campaigns since BF Bad Company 2. Even the single player only Mirrors Edge Catalyst they completely screwed up.
Last year Star Wars Battlefront was an online only game and it still seriously lacked content of a full priced game. So expect the online portion of the sequel to suffer even more now.
For people who are delighted to get their 3 hour long campaign, good for you.

[Becuzisaid]

I'm not even going to consider buying into this crap until it's less than $20 with all dlc included. I'm pissed that I bought this game full price, and fell for that damn season pass. $110 for a shit half game. Yes, I'm aware it's my fault. Not going to ever happen again.

[Nodoze]

Welcome to 2016 EA.

[traumadisaster]

Um 2017

[DarthSocio]

Great! can't wait for another DICE 3 hour campaign!

[snoopgg]

Should have had a sp campaign in the first one, probably would have expanded sales.

[rezzah]

Forget it, just wait for the single player only Star Wars game that Amy Hennings is working on, that too will be published by EA.

[game4funz]

This doesn't fix the issue.

The problem is not that there was not a campaign. If they want to do multiplayer only then let them... Cuz it means that they have little interest in making a campaign.

What we're probably gonna get is a half assed campaign with little inspiration and motivation simply for the sake of having a campaign... It has become more of a resource management and content issue then an opportunity to create a compelling story.

[DivineAssault]

Bout damn time! That was a BS move to exclude a campaign.. It best be over 5 hours too or ill buy it used again.. The only reason i bought SW:BF was for the VR game

[ABBAJESUS]

I have a feeling that we will be able to play as imperium soldier and rebel.
