Wonder what happened to single player mode they were working on?


I did not hear Russ even mention it in the last town hall

[Wintersdark]

They've mentioned it a few times, but it's... Not exactly on the back burner, but rather there's lots of pieces that need to be functioning first - competent AI, for example. We'll know single player is coming closer when we've got proper AI in the Academy.

Single Player was never a priority.

When did they say they were actually working on it? and not just the things they need in the game to have a chance at potentially getting a single player mode.


two very different things....working on making the game PVE capable and actually working on PVE

A few times in various townhalls.

The stuff being integrated into the training academy was specifically mentioned as part of the early experimenting with what it will take to get a single player mode.

Didn't Russ say they'd hired some programmers with AI experience?

It sounded to me like Russ wanted the "PvE" to be co-op. I just wonder how they're going to monetize it. Will they sell them in "mission packs"?

It's called quickplay.

Optimists say late 2016. Pessimists say soon tm

Kesmai... That is like saying a demo mode arena is a complete game and the developers should quit while they are ahead.

So this means they are working on elements to potentially make a PVE mode...

I havent heard them actually WORKING on a PVE mode yet.


Again, two very different things.

Russ has mentioned he wants PVE in a number of town halls and they are adding AI elements with the specific intent of integrating them into PVE. I don't think they are writing the story yet but they are in the very early stages of working on PVE. Expect late 2016 or after based on what has been said by PGI.

I am hopeful for a single player campaign with story content. Sometimes I would rather just relax and play through some easy single player content!

Ever notice that the two companies seem to be in cahoots? That Russ and Jordan I think are being very cagey on something.

Its already known that they are working together, the mech models for certain, and it makes common sense to take things further from the usual business point of view.

Whether it makes sense with P.G.I's snail paced development and games horrendous Instability, that H.B.S think its best to leave it at just that and not let P.G.I near the code, or let the payrolled advisers bugger up the new title is another matter.

Also doesn't seem much point in P.G.I starting their own single player campaign, as it will almost certainly get finished after 2017 with their track record, when so many, apart from the clan die hards will gleefully go back to an age when Mechwarrior/Battletech was at its best.

No, no, you will pre order it for $100 for some time in 2016 which will become the last quarter of 2017, you'll get an extra 30 days Premium time and a cockpit item of London Bridge, that's london bridge and not Tower Bridge b.t.w
