Even though they were known for their single player campaigns as well. And I'm someone who's been playing Rainbow Six games since the 1st one!!!

Tbh my first Rainbow Six game was Rogue Spear and I enjoyed the fuck out of that game. While the Beta was enjoyable since I used to play CS before, I would have thought at least the SP campaign would be akin to those of the old RS games.
As a multiplayer game RS isn't half bad, but I did always enjoy playing Rainbow Six's campaign and like I said $80 for just a MP is a no-no for me right now.

What was the last one?
Cut scenes and set pieces.
Killing robots and alien grunts.
Flying a ship at some point.
A turret section.
Flipping switches.
Climbing towers!
Zombies?
And...? Halo games have robust online components and ware consistently the top games on Xbox Live. It'd be a big deal if a Halo game shipped without a campaign.
It's the same here. The campaigns in the past Rainbow Six games were generally considered good.
Not to mention the most fun to be had was terrorist hunt on those campaign maps. Not random AI on MP maps. Dafuq is this shit

I would have bought it on sale. R6 is usually fun. Not now though unless impressions are amazing.
I'm not against MP only. But the MP better be best in class.
Sounds great, I'd rather they get the multiplayer perfect than shoehorn in a single player no one will care about after a week.
People get, way, way too hung up on a lack of single player in multiplayer focused titles. A game with only multiplayer can absolutely be worth 60 bucks.

I never expected a full blown story mode but for some reason I was thinking there were going to some form of SP component, such as a bunch of short missions to play through.
I've played a few matches in the beta, it's okay but the MP feels like a smaller part of a larger game. Not worth $60 IMO.

The alpha sucks. Don`t know about the current state.
do you buy SP only games that can be considered best in class?

MP only games should at max be $40. Now, if a game is MP focused and only has stuff like offline missions but no actual story, like the new Star Wars Battlefront, $60 is fine because you can still play the game if your internet is out.
I remember, Warhawk was only $40, as was SOCOM Confrontation.

Welp.
Kinda off topic: I read some comments and in the end I disagree with Battlefront getting a pass. Buy hey, nostalgia and all that.

One less game I have to buy. Thanks for making my decision so easy Ubisoft.

More and more devs seem to bank on the online multiplayer alone, they want the community to sell them dlc etc.
I really dislike this development.

This aside, the game looks like they aren't trying too hard and will do anything to get it out door and recoup something. Not a great return for the the series. Don't think they want to go back to drawing board again but it feels like it was never made with clear key goals, just what can they do on the cheap or salvage. Should not return. Ubisoft need to raise their standards and nail them. Makes things work not kinda and have some quality control.
Next up, Ghost Recon open world.

So if there is a mode in the game where you can play with BOTS then it's worth 20$ more?
probably the TrackMania abomination they released or the worst racing game of the generation, The Crew. Not to mention the fact that they destroyed the Trials series.
If we're talking quality then Far Cry 4 is the only thing they've developed in the past couple years that isn't a flop.

Triumphant return to form indeed. Heard that so much regarding this game and for the life of me I have no idea why

I hate what's become of Tom Clancy games. It's time to come to terms with the fact I'm never going to get a Rainbow 6 game like the originals, or a good old fashioned Ghost Recon.

Well, yeah. If its a series like Battlefront or Battlefield where the multiplayer is the game, there should be something that can be played when your internet is down, or the game servers are down. Whether that is actually a story campaign, offline battles with bots, an offline survival mode, or whatever it doesn't matter. If a multiplayer focused game is going to be sold at $60 there should be some of the aforementioned things. If it is truly just multiplayer only it should be priced accordingly.

I still haven't finished BF4's campaign because it is just so boring. Bite sized sections where you finally get to shoot your gun interlaced between scripted walk-and-talk moments and overly long set piece moments.

When it was called Bad Company? Me and all of my gaming buddies.
Nobody wants shit campaigns or shoe-horned anything. We all want quality, worthwhile stuff, whether that's versus or co-op or campaigns or anything else.

Ghost Recon: Wildlands looks great!

You can do terrorist hunt mode solo offline in Siege. It probably isn't fun, but it passes the very low bar that you set for what makes an acceptable MP-only game.
I don't think a campaign is the remedy for the stigma with MP games. MP games that have a large dedicated install base are few and far between. And developers who can maintain an audience with continued support are pretty damn rare. Multiplayer games are fun for the first month or two that it's out because everyone's new. People are having a blast. But if you are a latecomer who was waiting for a sale or a casual player, chances are that you will be coming into a shrinking community where only the dedicated hardcore players are still playing. An MP-only game needs game modes that can cater to casual players and late entrants so they aren't getting stomped by elite players. I think terrohunt is a fine mode for people like me. Much like how I don't touch the versus mode in L4D and stick to only the co-op mode.
Why do people need to have 1 game that has it all? What's wrong with having something like
MP: R6, Battlefront
SP: Fallout 4, Nathan Drake Collection, Tales, Just Cause 3, Divinity, etc.
If your internet is down go play on of the 15 single player focused games coming out in the next 3 months.
Confirmation bias. In this case, people are anti-ubisoft.

I didn't play old Rainbow Six games for a campaign, in fact, that shit bummed me out. Competitive MP and Terrorist Hunt on the highest difficulty is all I fucked with.
Plus majority of people complaining didn't even play R6/had not intentions of buying Siege. It's like someone saying that I wouldn't buy BF because it doesn't have SP
Because the latter is hard to swallow for most people at full price, plus the multiplayer has to be good, have longevity and have a strong community.
We don't want another Evolve again, lol.

You are conflating single player with campaign. Loading up a multiplayer map offline to play against bots and playing a fully voiced and storied campaign are two different things. I am saying that MP focused games should always have an "Instant Action" mode if they don't have a campaign.

Your powers of perception and reason must be truly superhuman to glean such 'facts' from this thread.

I always assumed that was the case... I mean, did they give any impression that would lead you to think otherwise?
Yeah, I've posted a few times in the thread with their previous single player plans.
Which it won't.
They'll launch with barely any content (as is the standard) and fragment the community with map packs and other bullshit.
