With Battlefield 3, people who like multiplayer will get a huge multiplayer game. People who like single-player will get a quality campaign. Neither will take away from the other.
"Most people that hate singleplayer are the ones that love multiplayer. That's fine - you don't have to play it," he told Edge.
"We want the product to cater for the people who do like singleplayer and also the people who like multiplayer - and we are adding co-op, too - trying to fill the gaps all the way from the hardcore full-on Conquest mode, to the narrative-driven singleplayer.
"People just have to understand that we aren't taking people away from one thing or the other. We're just making the product bigger."
Speaking to our friends at PSM3 mag recently, Bach said Battlefield 3 is the game every shooter fan "claims they want".

Good to hear. I love single player, multiplayer and co-op. Roll on Battlefield 3.

This is starting to make me think it might just blow COD out of the water now

If BF3 multiplayer is half as good as BF1 or 2 or even BF1943, it will be amazing. If it's closer to BF: Bad Company though, it will suck balls.

Anybody who thought it would is an idiot.
They said the same thing about Uncharted 2. "Oh Multiplayer will help them loose empahsis on the brilliant singleplayer" Boo Hoo *Crying*. Then, BAM! Best, most well rounded and critiacally acclaimed PS3 exclusive? You best believe it.

If you don't mind me asking, what didn't you like about Bad Company online? Although I do most of my online gaming in Bad Company 2 and 1943 (haven't played BF2 in a long time), I really enjoyed Bad Company 1, so much so that I have logged 750 hours online. Sure, it was flawed, but it was (is) a hell of a lot of fun.

Well as for as battlefield SP. It will be bad. I haven't played a good battlefield SP game. They are all completely terrible.

???????????????????? Something unexpected surprise post
Ha, just kidding it's just little old me.
I really really tried to get into BC2 but I just couldn't do it, only completed half the campaign as well.
Maybe it's because I'm so used to COD now, or maybe I'm just too old, or maybe I'm just an idiot.
Tried it but it wasn't for me. I just enjoyed the gameplay of COD a lot more. I know I shouldn't, but I do! Soz.

Yeah, I agree, I still can't work out if the charecters in bad company are Special Forces, or just Special(in a special kind of way).

I'm sick of hearing about Battlefield 3

Dice is great at creating a multiplayer game, single player leaves alot to be desired. They do need the single player aspect of BF3 to be top notch in order to bring in even more players to the brand in the console market. I just don't have high hopes for it given their past.

One thing I do hope is that the SP is longer than 4 hrs, picked up medal of honor the other day, knew the SP was pretty short but the game was dirt cheap so didnt bother me to much, at the end tho i still wished there was more of it, it was an epic journey!
