From what I remember, most people couldn’t care less about Battlefield game having Campaign story line because “it was meant to be a multiplayer” based on the negative comments and previous poll result. I think we should listen to the gamers as they know best for the franchise and not include any of it in Battlefield 1.

Stop speaking on behalf of other people. Plenty of people cared about the singleplayer. It wasn’t exactly good in either BF3 and BF4 but it was a nice addition to have. Same with BF1, it will most likely have singleplayer, however I’m not expecting a stellar story.

_But Bruh, Battlefield is a Multiplayer game! The devs should spend more time working on multiplayer so it won’t be as buggy upon release~! Despite there being two different development group working on either of them ~!_

I’m sure it’s already confirmed. I want it anyway.

It should be a tutorial for the multiplayer. Same classes and freedom as in multiplayer to approach objective . A little bit like bfbc one (yes 1) campagne. Hopefully that will teach certain people to drop a ammobox or medicbox to keep their squad alive.

I for one am looking forward to the single player story.

Secretly, I hope the single player has a Veteran mode that is real tough and random that can be used for practicing for multiplayer. Like the test range with bots.

Test range with bots would be great.

What he is trying to say is people are incredibly misinformed when they pull the “developers should spend more time on this part of the game so it won’t be buggy” card when they fail to realize separate teams work on separate areas of the game.

But Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare had that! Clearly we don’t want a CoD feature like that in this game!

I don’t play COD, but it is a good idea

I would prefer a base map where I can practice using the weapons and vehicles.

Being able to choose what map you want, as well as the option of bots would be nice too.

I want a really interesting and diverse Single Player experience that breaks the boundaries of anything we’ve seen before.

If we don’t get that with Battlefield 1 (which is likely) then they shouldn’t bother including an actual Single Player mode. BF3, BF4 and BFH all had terrible single player experiences that seem to get worse after each installment. Exceptionally boring and poorly written(BF4 and BFH, BF3 was borderline for me). No need for a “filler” Single Player mode imho, that’s what those 3 games had.

Not sure if I’d want a bot range like in CoD, fearing the laziness of previous SP installments…the difficulty levels of the bots there were :  
Recruit - the enemies would walk into you and provide 0 challenge  
Regular - the enemies would walk into you and provide 0 challenge  
Hardened - slightly harder than the above, but still extremely bad AI  
Veteran - the bots would automatically headshot you upon seeing you

None of these in CoD were realistic, engaging, or teaches players anything that could relate to multiplayer.

If they just had a good Single Player I’ll be more than happy, the test range would also be a welcomed sight again but not too keen on having bots.

I want a singleplayer with class freedom and the rest of your AI squad mimics and mirrors your behaviour. So if you never throw down ammo or health your squad runs dry and die. Good luck on your own.  
This is good use of collecting statictics.

That you could invite friends to join and that had enemy waves coming in. (Bots, AI)

Yes i hoped it was more like Single player + Co op and no Multiplayer of very modest one. More time in co op missions and single player story

Honestly, the way the devs have described what the Campaign will be like, makes it sound pretty cool.  
I’m gonna play it, but of course multiplayer will be the core for me.
