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.

Snowfl4k3z They should have the sp option, or please sell it for about $20 less then the original price.

That is kind of true, I mean we are only getting half of the experience.

Well there is a few reasons why it doesnt have single player:
everybody always buys games to play the multiplayer, EX: Call of Duty
the xbox one has to be connect to the internet all the time so there is no need for single
player, you can just play multiplayer.

Rarity_The_Unicorn I think this is a good idea but sorry to the players who like the single player :/
At least they're not wasting they're time
it sucks for offliners though


Mircosoft mostly care about multiplier exclusives while Sony go for the single player


Microsoft and Sony have no say in if a game developer has a single player mode or not.

Could this be a sign of most games losing SP, only to focus on MP? A dark age of gaming is among us....
