Battlefield 4: DICE says it needs to 'step up its single-player game'

4.8
DICE needs to up its game when it comes to single-player Battlefield experiences in order to earn the full respect of the series' fans, according to executive producer Patrick Bach

Speaking to CVG during a wide-ranging Battlefield 4 interview conducted at GDC this week, Bach said both DICE and its fans are more concerned about the quality of the newly revealed game's campaign component than its online one.
Explaining the decision to showcase the shooter's single-player offering in the first Battlefield 4 gameplay video, Bach told us:

"Showing multiplayer would've been hard I think. It's hard to showcase multiplayer in a good way so everyone gets it. Also I think we have a strong heritage of making good multiplayer games, so I don't think people are as worried about multiplayer as they are about our single-player."

Asked if the studio wanted to express that the single-player campaign will improve upon Battlefield 3's, Bach continued: "It's hard to convince someone with 'only' 17 minutes of software, but in general I think yeah - people are more worried about what we're doing with single-player than what we're doing with multiplayer.

"Also I think that we are more confident with multiplayer than we are with single-player, so to us we need to step up our game when it comes to single-player too in order to earn the respect of Battlefield players.

"We have the luxury of having an awesome multiplayer and only a 'good' single-player in BF3," he added. "So of course people have been positive with our single-player, but nobody thinks it's as good as our multiplayer - so that's where we have to step up our game."

The campaign in this game looks sweet so far and I'd like to play it. MP will be pretty sick too but I'd also like a really good Single player

Honestly I don't give a sh*t about Battlefields single player. I just want an amazing multiplayer. That is the whole reason for me buying this kind of FPS. I play through the campaign once and then never again. The stories are usually not that great. If you buy an FPS like BF or CoD for their campaign then you're going to have a bad time. I think Dice just put in the all their effort into MP so they can at least try and beat out CoD. That's my opinion and if you want game's for their story go and get some Assassins Creed, Far Cry, Bioshock, or any of the other amazing series out right now.
