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

Im not going to lie, when my eyes first looked at the 17 min reveal it fell in love. The game is amazing, and I honestly would love to see what multiplayer would look like. Dice did a great job making this game. +1 for them :)

I actually think I enjoy playing the single player (campaign) of games more than the multiplayer just because I like adding to my gamerscore and I don't really get as mad playing single player because I can just save and quit whenever.. Don't have to worry about levels, unlocks or getting hacked!
But on the flip side, multiplayer normally kicks *ss ...

Why? The first battlefield games did not even have a campaign! I and any long battlefield fan just care about multiplayer. If I wanted a single player experience I will go play Skyrim.
