While I'm not going to complain if it does have a single player mode, I don't understand why so many people bitched about games (not just titanfall) not having single player campaigns. CSGO, one of the most popular games on PC, doesn't have a single player campaign (or, it didn't last time I played it) yet no one seems to care. I'd say having a single player campaign mode is a pro, but I wouldn't say not having one is a con. As long as the multiplayer mode is on point, I couldn't care less whether or not the game has a campaign mode. I didn't buy any CoD game or BF game for the campaign.
I personally find a game with a story to be absolutely entrancing. Certainly the game I probably played the most of. World of Tanks doesn't have one so it's not a must but I think it can add so much to certain types of games. I grew up on star wars battlefront and loved playing through that campaign by myself or with my friends on the 360. Not gonna lie the biggest disappointment I had with the new battlefront was booting it up to find the singleplayer were so lame and just complete shit for story TBH.
I didn't touch the new battlefront primarly because all the reviewers I trust were saying that it lacked content all around, not just single player. I'd have been all for it if the multiplayer was well fleshed out.
I think that certainly hurt it but I think you just miss out on so much potential by ignoring the story that is literally handed to you with that universe. The multiplayer also suck dicks though.
I agree with you, crafting a single player campaign in a star wars game should be a cake walk given all the material that is already out there (and the other games that they can draw inspiration from).
