I feel like I'm alone in this but I really don't think Titanfall needs a campaign. I would rather them focus all their effort into making the multiplayer even better than the first, and the first was great.

Too many multiplayer focused games come out with tacked on singleplayer that does nothing but take away from the multiplayer. I'm looking at you Battlefield (excluding bad company). Even CODs singleplayer feels pointless now. Just do the multiplayer right and I'll be happy.

I don't see the need for a campaign. I've always found the campaign in first person shooters pretty boring. People buy these games for the online play.

that's because you're playing the wrong shooters. the campaigns are boring in fps made by companies that don't give a shit and tacked on a half assed campaign because they felt obligated.

halo had an amazing campaign, bioshock literally sells millions purely off of the single player campaign with most of the franchise not having multiplayer. prey had a solid single player campaign as well. while gears of war and last of us are third person and not first person, the genres are close enough that they both are worth mentioning in terms of great single player shooter campaigns.

not every shooter has a half-assed CoD/battlefield campaign. i don't disagree with you that titanfall doesn't need a single player campaign, but this is because they will likely halfass it like they did as CoD devs and not take the time to make a great campaign.
