All I can say to those people is that Battlefield hasn't provided a compelling first-person experience in years, and that there are much better first-person shooters for those wanting to play an engaging story mode. To address the elephant in the room, I have sympathy for those who prefer to play by themselves or don't want to pay for an online subscription. That can come in many forms, be it additional maps, vast customization options, additional multiplayer modes, or fun new vehicles.Īs Tabari puts it, "If EA wants this title to have a long life, Battlefield 2042 not only needs post-game content (free and paid) but it needs enough of it for there to be something for everyone."
If Battlefield 2042 is the AAA game EA and DICE are making it out to be, then the multiplayer needs the equivalent amount of content seen in past single-player campaigns. It needs to adapt and transform to the player’s feedback so that they continue to be engaged." You can’t just put one out there and leave it alone. Unlike a single-player game, a multiplayer title has a living and breathing ecosystem.

Not only does DICE need to make a new Battlefield game that’s jam-packed full of multiplayer content, but the developers need to be ever-present when the game launches afterward. "DICE needs to make up for the fact that there is no campaign by going full-force into the game it’s making. Tabari went on to say that DICE needs to ramp up the multiplayer mode if it's going to get away with ditching the campaign. Multiplayer needs to shine at launch and beyond Why shouldn’t there be a full-priced multiplayer game that does the same?" he wrote. There are tons of unique and amazing single-player games without multiplayer content, and they excel at what they do. "The fact that Battlefield 2042 doesn’t have a campaign alarmed me at first, but I was quickly convinced that it's OK. Senior writer Rami Tabari was originally against the idea.
#BATTLEFIELD V CAMPAIGN SERIES#
I asked the Laptop Mag team what they thought of Battlefield 2042 skipping the campaign and launching at $60 on PS5 or $70 on Xbox Series X. Those figures are hardly record-setting but the maps in Battlefield 2042 are said to be of a greater scale than ever before and will feature dynamic environments. As it stands, the game will launch with four Specialist classes and seven maps. Moreover, dropping the single-player campaign means the studio can pump more content into the multiplayer modes. To put it bluntly, DICE needs Battlefield 2042 to be its smoothest launch ever if the franchise has any chance of reaching new heights.
The damage caused by these errors and the legal troubles surrounding them cannot be overstated. We've seen what can happen when a game is released before it's ready just look at Battlefield 4 which was released with a myriad of technical bugs, glitches and crashes. While we can't say with any certainty that the inclusion of a campaign caused the failings we've seen in recent Battlefield multiplayer modes (Battlefield 4 and V especially), putting every effort into the multiplayer in Battlefield 2042 should ensure that it launches without major bugs.Ī smooth launch will be crucial to the success of Battlefield 2042.
Putting all of your ammo in one boxīy abandoning the campaign, DICE can focus its efforts on the multiplayer experience, which is what gives the games in this franchise staying power. My advice? If you've tried again and failed, it's time to change course. Of those, only one received praise for its campaign (Battlefield 1), and even then, it was criticized for being short-lived. And they did just that with Battlefield 4, Battlefield Hardline, Battlefield 1 and Battlefield V. As they say, if at first you don't succeed, try and try again. That didn't mean DICE was incapable of replicating its past successes.
