Even a scripted SP campaign with a story (even if corny and bad) that is only 6 hours long and only good for one play through is better than nothing.
Who wants to bet that if you try to improvise and stick your head out at a time when you are not meant to, you'll get a bullet between your eyes?
If its anything like BC2...
Yup, looking forward to it. Fly it like you stole it or don't fly it at all. If there was one thing I did well in BC2 it was fly like a madman like the pilot from the A-Team.
I agree with that ... the singleplayer campaigns in both Rainbow Six 3 and Ghost Recon were some of the most fun I've had in singleplayer. There was a loose story, but the unpredictability of each battle is what made it a blast.Speak for yourself mate, some of the best SP gaming i've done in war themes shooters had no protagonist, no real storyline or arc to speak of, and that is precisely why i loved them.
I'm talking things like the R6 games, which basically had no story at all, you where just sent on random missions that got progressively more advanced, and that was it really. Sure they tried to link the missions togeather in a plot of sorts, but really, all you did was play individual missions.
On paper that may sound incredibly simplistic, but in practice, it kicked arse! It was differen't every time, and your play was never constricted by BS plot devices and scripted "ohh teh drama" moments and rubbish cutscenes. It was tactical gaming, the pure essence of what a war game should be in my mind, and not a sappy hollywood war-movie wannabe.
I'll take that every damned day over a CoD style SP, without question or hesitation. Of course, you're free to disagree, and feel that's not what you want from an SP game, but don't tell me "nobody wants that", because i most certainly do!
Hint: He was talking about the SP.It will be horribly unbalanced with silly weapon mechanics, and suffer the same issues (PB, balance issues, vehile issues) that they've had in every other game since 2142 (whish has been 3 titles ago).
Yup, not looking forward to it.
I don't know why everyone is getting worked up about the SP. MP is where the fun is. If its anything like BC2 is will be a good time kill waiting for my buddies to get online and play the MP.

That said, I DO enjoy a good scripted game. The problem is that the genre of scripted/cinematic war games has been so over done lately that it's harder to get excited about them. It's too bad, because there is definitely an art in crafting a great scripted experience.
It's not about being a tactical shooter in its purest sense, it's about making the AI smart enough so that it doesn't need to be scripted to the most minor detail in order to perform somewhat adequately.BF3 is not a tactical shooter that could be compared to R6 games at all. And if all games were like you wanted them to be, book and dvd sales would go back up to the level of their highest points in history. It's simply ignorant to expect a R6 campaign for a Battlefield game and it's incredibly hypocritic to say at the same time that HoS' SP was going to be totally awesome.
Now simplified: The majority of players prefer a dramatic SP experience that will be remembered and not playing boring missions with no connection whatsoever. Besides it has a training effect for MP. Writing a novel with every post won't make your posts any more correct btw.
You're expecting apples to taste like lemons.
Or maybe it's just the fact that his views don't coincide with yours what's making you feel this way?If the poster has nothing elso to do than write two pages about a pointless topic like this then he earns nothing but disrespect from me, because I don't consider a person like that worthy of having a discussion with.
