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."

HAL0 I am happy about this. Battlefield 3s SP was absolutely terrible as it was just a typical shooter done with better graphics.


are you serious. BF3 single player has been amazing


I thought it was great, the best by far.


Yeah i would probably say it was the best as well! It was very good
