Titanfall Teaser
- Thread starter AdultInTheRoom
- Start date
I'll wait for tomorrow on VGX. I'm working so need something to watch while I'm waiting....must resist 
There's no way they're going to release a multiplayer-only game. This game will have a campaign, now whether it's offline or not is another question.
AAA games will never release as multiplayer only...especially on a console, just doesn't work sales-wise.

The much-anticipated Xbox One exclusive Titanfall will feature just one multiplayer game mode for each campaign map, according to a report today from OXM.
Titanfall producer Drew McCoy said Respawn designed the game as such so to progress the storyline in the multiplayer-only campaign mode.
“The campaign plays the levels with their missions in a specific order to tell the story. Each campaign level has its own game mode,” McCoy said.
McCoy gave the example of Angel City, the map most seen thus far since Titanfall’s unveiling at E3, which only allows for playing the multiplayer mode Attrition. Players in the campaign mode won’t be able to play any other mode.
“That's the story for that level," McCoy said.
McCoy said the way the multiplayer campaign is structure is because Titanfall takes “bits and pieces” of what gamers expect from a single-player campaign and adding a multiplayer element to it.
“When you first start the game you will play campaign multiplayer, which takes the bits and pieces you're used to having in single-player, like a story and characters, and big moments that contextualize what you're doing, we're putting that into multiplayer,” McCoy said.
Not to worry about playing the same piece of the story over and over again, McCoy told OXM this week, as Titanfall players can opt-in to a “Team Deathmatch” type mode on any level.
“But there are maps in a certain order, with certain story elements and certain characters. It's not something (where) we expect people to play the campaign mode every day for a year,” McCoy said.
Titanfall will drop for the Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC on March 11 in North America and March 13 in Europe and Australia.
Very excited to see this game tomorrow, Geoff Keighley said they saw the footage and that it had everybody floored, or something like that.
Yeah, I've heard, and seen it. I'm just skeptical is all.
I will tell you this: I really appreciate their attempts to innovate multiplayer (which I've always found boring), and it's the closest I've come to buying a multiplayer-only game.

Makes me wonder if the 178 followers (me being one of them) of Hammond Robotics twitter account will maybe get codes? LOL. Unrealistic I know, but these viral marketing campaigns you never know.
A single player campaign would be a big deal!New rumor:
"Campaign mode for Titanfall will be revealed.
They first said it was only suppose to be only multiplayer game. Not anymore."
Seems like a pretty big thing to decide to do "last minute". I wonder if they knew all along they were doing one, but wanted to keep it a secret until a later date?
It seems like they specifically said there would be no campaign. If they announced one, that would make it seem like it was rushed.
From the start they advertised that the multi-player had elements to it to make it SP like.. plot..NPC's, etc.
The maps themselves are all part of the same cohesive game world.. 2 different warring sides, etc, and they detailed basically a co-op campaign like mod already where you'd go through the maps in a certain order with one side being CPU controlled, and certain game modes used on certain maps to vary the gameplay.
They also have a focus on bot AI for the game in general.
From the beginning they were building many of the elements of an SP campaign. And the multi-player portion has been solid enough to let people play it in the wild since the summer.
Doesn't mean it couldn't or won't be a rush job, but it's not a guarantee based on the facts.. if the SP campaign rumor is even true in the first place.

Im guessing that 'rumor' came from a certain blog.
