I really think Titanfall have the right idea by not including a campaign, but they still have their heads up their ass by not lowering the price.

Lots of full price games with 12 hour campaigns and no multiplayer as well.

But yes, I do agree that it was best to leave out a campaign if it wasn't necessary.

Well if it's a 12 hour singleplayer game of high quality with no multiplayer (Bioshock) then that's fine. I never buy games at full price anyway so zero fucks given. I just think that for quite some time now the singleplayer portions of these Call Of Duty, Battlefield etc. games have been pretty worthless additions that need not be there. Everyone buys those games primarily for the multiplayer.

Well that's true but asking that multiplayer games be sold at a reduced price when it's okay for single player games without multiplayer to be sold at full price is a little weird.

Quality of multiplayer can't be compared to the quality of single player campaigns. Just because it's not emotionally involving, doesn't mean it isn't well designed.

The main reason I have that double standard is because (especially in CoD and such) a multiplayer game doesn't last as long because the community eventually dissipates. You can play a singleplayer game as it was at release forever.

I have no problem with paying full price for multiplayer only games. Keep in mind there's no subscription fee for titanfall. I do think they really need to stop trying with single player campaigns for battlefield though. There's no point. I can't comment on call of duty though. The battlefield 4 campaign is so vanilla and forgettable. It's sad.

Speaking of dissipating communities, CoD ghosts isn't even in the top 50 played games on Steam today.

Battlefield 2 has traditionally never had single player campaigns.

But Titanfall being MP only at $60 just feels like a fish outta water when it comes to multiplayer only PC shooters that are either free or at a budget price range. I mean, I can always play TF2, Planetside 2, Hawken or Tribles: Ascend instead.

I dunno about you, but for some reason, most people seem conditioned to assume that a single player campaign carries the bulk of the budget for a high profile game. Not sure if there's truth in this, it could be the grandeur of explosive set pieces and production work, or the assumption that Multiplayer systems are easy to make, balance and maintain.

But that's just how it is and I'd honestly say that I fall into this consumer mindset in some way, but at least for a single player campaign I can be guaranteed some structure that provides consistent hours of content. But kudos to you if you consider the worth of the game to how well it's designed.

Odd.

But I never worry about this, or use this as a longevity. Granted, I dont play CoD MP much or buy them. Most games I get for multiplayer always has people playing. I can probably even open up something odd like Awesomenauts, Sanctum or Dungeon Defenders and still find people to play with.

If I do come across a game with a dead multiplayer, it's usually on a game where I havent even considered playing the MP side of that particular game.

A strong determining factor in multiplayer is the community though. A single player game can be enjoyed irrespective of the community
