Titanfall: Why It Doesn't Have Single-Player

4.3
Titanfall doesn’t contain a single-player campaign because only a small percentage of players will finish the mode.

Speaking with GI International, Respawn studio head Vince Zampella said it takes a seperate team months to create such a campaign, and if no virtually one will finish it, there’s no point.

Plus, the studio is rather “small startup,” with only “60-some developers.

“We make these single-player missions that take up all the focus of the studio, that take a huge team six months to make, and players run through it in eight minutes,” said Zampella. “And how many people finish the single-player game? It’s a small percentage. It’s like, everyone plays through the first level, but 5% of people finish the game.

“Really, you split the team. They’re two different games. They’re balanced differently, they’re scoped differently. But people spend hundreds of hours in the multiplayer experience versus ‘as little time as possible rushing to the end’ [in single-player]. So why do all the resources go there?

“To us it made sense to put it here. Now everybody sees all those resources, and multiplayer is better. For us it made sense.”

Titanfall is coming to PC, Xbox 360 and Xbox One in early 2014.

I'm sure the multiplayer made up for this. It's just odd because almost all games have a campaign, the campaign is what gives the game a purpose.

Aggie thats why I buy most of my games. I play all the campaigns. then I play the multiplayer.


I always go straight to multiplayer, when I get bored I'll do the campaign.


Exactly they should spend more time on making the best possible experience for multiplayer. It's all about that multiplayer!

In my opinion the game looks pretty sick but you do miss out on a lot of important stuff but sometimes the campaign can be boring to some people and last a while

Ing You need to have single player, it shows the backround of the game..


I don't think I've played any single player it's pointless and boring I just go straight for multiplier I've rather COD skipped single player and made some big changes in multiplier


No, video games were built on single player. Who the hell buys a game and goes straight to multiplayer and never plays single player? Like really. Youre gonna miss out on alot of great games. I always beat the singleplayer campaign and then go to multiplayer.

I agree, it also gives you a idea of the weapons and abilities in the game before you go try multiplayer.
