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.

Starks To be honest, it makes sense. The only time I ever properly complete a single-player game is when the game doesn't have multi-player. The guys at IW and Treyarch could take a few tips, I mean, out of about 30 people I know IRL that has played BLOPS 2, only 2 or 3 of them have completed the campaign.


Agreed more games that are just multiplayer will be amazing, screw campaign no one really needs it. Yeah maybe make a separate disc for it but just concentrate on the main thing multiplayer.
Campaign is good and always will be 1st thing i do is complete the campaign


Every game I play I always finish the single player first.

This makes perfect sense, the are just starting up and they should use their resources on the mode that will be used and played more. I am a bit disapointed their won't be a campagain but it will be fine.

Batman- I can see why they didn't do a campaign mode but for when something happens to your internet or somewhere that doesn't have internet the campaign is fun too play!


At first I was going to say it would lack Lore but yet again look at league of legends which has some lore but does not have a campaign. If I want to play single player I will go play a RPG like the elder scrolls: morrowind, oblivion, skyrim or fallout 3 or even mass effect.

Man I really enjoy playing the campaign on games. I usually play the single player before hoping over to multiplayer.
