Any chance of getting details on the SP campaign anytime soon?

Well I was at that bashnslash or whatever it's called podcast and was spamming questions to the dude who was supposed to ask Ramm questions for us... they ran out of time before he could get to one question... but Yoshiro said to "ask on the forums, we're very active there", so... I'm asking :)

Be careful Nox. The majority of guys here do not like happy people with questions and ideas.

12 posts and pissed already?
We seem to be an evil bunch of people! :D

Relax, read through the forums a bit and you will understand us once you read the same suggestion 50 times just because someone didn't even bother to look through page 1, let alone beyond it.

People were pissed at you because you didn't bother to search or read the forums at all, and actually DARED TO SUGGEST the west front, which is pretty much blasphemy here :IS2:. It's only been done by EVERY SINGLE OTHER WW2 game out there :confused:

Besides, I'm sure the Darkest Hour team will be doing a DH2.

Actually, aren't they mostly doing Rising Storm?

I want to see more details, in case it will be epic, but honestly if I had to guess, I'd say it is an afterthought in the teams mind, a bit like the SP in UT3.

It would be cool to get some single player details, but honestly I get the impression that the SP is kind of an after thought, only because RO1 was a mainly MP game and it they are portraying RO2 the same way, of course.

This is pure conjecture, but I'd probably say that SP will basically be MP maps with bots, with maybe cutscenes in between. Again, TOTAL guesses.

We'll just have to see when TWI releases more information.

That's my guess too, more so as what we know of the Coop mode, suggest it's the SP campaign, only humans get stacked on one team versus the AI on the other.

So yeah, i figure it's normal MP campaign mode, only you can play it offline now aswell, and it may or may not have cinematics inbetween maps/stages.


I certainly don't expect it to be a whole linear story driven experiance with dedicated maps like from CoD, nor do i mind, because just look how rubbish thouse are.. no thanks, thouse are just as much an afterthought compared to the MP, which is what people really buy thouse gaes for anyway, i'd rather they spend their time on something else, and we get an SP campaign that actually has some replay value because it plays out more like an MP match (all be it with bots), rather than a series of scripted events.

You know, the UT series did that aswell, and they where actually quite fun to play, and had the positive effect that new players would learn the maps, gamemodes and playstyle of the game by beating it, so i really woulden't mind.

I'm not looking forward so much for SP campaign, but I'd be great to see something original. I'm bored all these missions looking like another copy of CoD or MoH game, where main character do heroic things killing whole enemy armies right after escaping from prison. I'd like to see some battles where actually main char dies or have to retreat cause situation is impossible to defend longer. It was like that in Stalingrad, where German army was surrounded by outnumbered Soviet army.

If it is indeed a campaign mode, we might see something where you do the whole campaign say as a rifleman. Then the whole thing as assault or one of the other classes. Eventually getting to squad leader than platoon leader. Each role would be very different, letting the player get use to each map from all perspectives.

I say it will be like UT3's 'SP'.

Have some nice story-line cutscenes along with some bot matches on MP maps.

I would expect a better SP from the ball since it's SP only, not this game.

Who knows, I could be surprised.

Wouldn't be hilarious, though, if the devs came out and shocked us with an amazing SP campaign? They haven't really said anything at all about the SP part of the game, and this game will have been development for 4 years as of this coming spring. That's a long time, even for a small studio.
