I'm expecting a linear campaign with average writing like many multiplayer-focused games with SP. If it's like Unreal Tournament 3, where the campaign has you going from cutscene to cutscene with multiplayer modes against bots in between, I probably won't be getting this at all. I'm waiting for a sale if I do but this information could be a dealbreaker.To people that says this is not by DICE and that there are good writers behind this.. Are you seriously not wary of the game reusing the maps from the multiplayer?
No one can make many assumptions from the trailer but I'm assuming this will be on par of previous SP campaigns for this kind of game.
Does anybody seriously expect a fully-featured single player campaign with long levels, progression and polish of any other single player 3rd person action game?
After the lootbox stuff in MP, this is honestly the only thing that has me somewhat excited for the game but they're still refusing to show more of the gameplay.

I got Mass Effect vibes from that.
Pretty much. Galactic Conquest would be nice, too. But I have yet to hear anything which is a shame.So like me, you expecting a campaign in the vein of the previous ones. With a bit of luck a little better because a studio with no responsibility on the multiplayer side is handling this but still within bounds of whats possible with the assets/engine/resources/time given.
Still cant tell if it has a real campaign or bot maps with cutscenes.

And so what? Studio being different doesn't make assets, engine and resources to make said campaign different. You talking like a different studio from the same company would do a totally different game.

You know what's funny? The original games that people love to jerk over only had bots on multiplayer maps as their campaigns.
So they insist that there's a SP campaign in SWBF2, eh? Considering that we saw exactly zero gameplay from it and this trailer doesn't show any either and we're about a month from launch I'm about 90% sure at the moment that this "campaign" will be a series of cinematics mixed with bot matches on MP maps.
Please no!
Is that a possibility?
I´m not up to date on this game at all.
Positive post: I liked the music.
It's Star Wars, the maps are places on known planets. There's nothing wrong by default about (re)using those. The question is what's happening there.

Its not made by DICE.
Motive. New studio helmed by Jade Raymond. Story written by Walt Williams (Spec Ops The Line) and Mitch Dyer.
I swear people know this by now but still spout this shit on purpose.

How would people react if Iden was the new canon's Mara Jade?
Im aware of this thank you. The fact that they have to specify that they have maps for singleplayer only is a tad worrying as I read it.
Also, I'm not entirely sure that singleplayer means campaign/story, but I guess that's just me.
Really hope the game doesn't end with you realizing that the Empire is actually bad and swapping sides. I hate it when games do that.
Am I being fucking gaslighted or something? BF1 did not literally only use MP maps to my recollection.Yes, it's a possibility, as that is exactly what BF1 was. But that campaign was developed in house along with the multiplayer, this one has been outsourced to a different dev team from day 1 and it has a serious writer attached.
It may very well end up being just that, but people acting like it's a forgone conclusion are just looking to shit on the game any way they can.

It was written by the guy that wrote Spec Ops: The Line. I have faith in it.
It's obvious, she is Rey's mother!How would people react if Iden was the new canon's Mara Jade?
Literally no one's doing this. Because we don't know. We have no idea. They are not showing us anything. We are just waiting to see, fearing it may be, hoping it won't be. What's so hard to understand of all this?It may very well end up being just that, but people acting like it's a forgone conclusion are just looking to shit on the game any way they can
It's not even the minimum for canon movies, lmao ;PEven if the gameplay is only "multiplayer-maps with bots", a good story should be the minimum for a canon Star Wars game.
I disagree but let's not derail this threadIt's not even the minimum for canon movies, lmao ;P
Well Battlefront 2 has 3 modes - A Single-Player campaign, Arcade and Multiplayer. Arcade is also CO-OP, so that couldn't be what they're referring to. Multiplayer is also clearly not what they're referring to.
I don't see how specifying that some locations (not maps) are single-player only is at all worrying. If anything it shows that they didn't build the campaign entirely around the elements found in the story mode.

.Dont worry, 2 exclusive maps, an hour of cinematics and a couple of objective base gameplay in recycled MP maps isn't the most expensive to do but it will make people buy this game for SP.
Just like BF1.
Stop buying DICE game for SP.
Are you trying to communicate something?
Its because the "red flags" you are "seeing" are a result of Battlefield 1 or other previous DICE campaigns. Since SWBF2's campaign isn't being made by DICE those "red flags" aren't relevant.Well to me having to specify that you have maps built specifically for the story on a game that features a story mode is a bit worrying, yes. The fact that there are only four of them is also not great, but if the campaign's length is similar to the previous ones then that's on par.
To me it just feels like they're trying real hard to convince there's a SP game worth playing behind all this but they haven't showed it yet, not even today in a trailer FOR that game mode.
Some people in this thread are bothered because some of us we're seeing red flags and they expect us to ignored them because "it's not made by DICE!!!oneone".
The game releases at Nov 17th with 3 days early access for buyers of the Elite Edition. Or is there a way to play it at Nov 9th? EA-Access?Gah, Nov 9th is still so far away ;_;

This trailer makes that storyline seem almost guaranteed.
Please dont have us pivot and join the rebel scum.
