Man this thread is funny as hell. h4rdk0re multiplayer g4merz vs 0ldsk00l s1ngle pl4yer g4merzzz.
FPS games aren't meant to be singleplayer.
If you want immersion play Deus Ex or Fallout 3, where the FPS is just a small part of the experience.
It doesn't have to be mutually exclusive, making a good SP game doesn't imply that MP has to suck or the other way around. Yet games with both good SP & MP are hard to come by.
Should DICE concede and not bother with singleplayer? If they take that route, BF might become a F2P or a monthly subscription grinder MMO. On the other hand, it's clear there is a huge disparity between their SP & MP despite the obvious effort to make a good SP mode.
. In a straight up FPS game, nothing beats the fun of human competition..
Human competition is great and unrivaled. But it's also completely unpredictable.
You might log in and have a great experience with mature adults with lots of skill who really challenge you.
Or you might log in and have your night ruined by 14 year olds screaming expletives, team-killers shooting you in the back, or angry virgin neck beards chastising anyone who hasn't honed their skill 14 hours a day between furiously masturbating.
Sorry, but SP always will have a place, because there are those of us who don't have unlimited time to play games, and when we do, we'd rather not take the risk that one of the 2 nights we have free to game for an hour is going to be ruined by one of the all-too-common aforementioned assholes.
And for the record, Bad Company 2 had the best SP of the BF games(also for the record, I never finished BF3 because I couldn't get it to run right). Maybe they should just dedicate the Bad Company sub-series to SP and actually make BF the online-only component.
