We'll be evolving our world and expanding on the fiction through Seasons, each one lasting for about three months. Every Season will come with a new free and paid-for Battle Pass, delivering new content to chase after.
In our first year of live service, we will deliver four Seasons, with four Battle Passes, four new Specialists, along with more fresh content.

Update: According to jackfrag there will be some sort of story integrated into the MP mode. Also, paid battlepass will focus on cosmetics only while free battlepass will include everything else.

Well that's a shame :(. I've quite liked the Battlefield campaigns, though they seem to be getting smaller and smaller with each game, and seem more and more like MP tutorials.

OOF.

I can't do battle passes as a substitute for content any more. It's all massive amounts of time grinding for very little rewards. For full price, I'm out.

No huge loss for me TBH. Most BF campaigns are super forgettable outside of the Bad Company games.

No campaign - "awesome, focus on what you do best, multiplayer"

GaaS - "no wait, not like that""

$70 for next gen w/o a single player campaign?

Even if I only played the campaign once, I'm decidedly less interested at paying full price now.

Shame

Bad Company 2 had one of the best campaigns ever. If they could just give us BC3 and then do what they want I wouldn't mind.

If any content with effects on gameplay is free, I don't get why Battle Passes are now frowned upon? They have to sustain continued support somehow.

cod campaigns were consistently much better

$70 prices for less content than before. Though they've been moving in this direction in a while single player wise.

Maybe there's a balance but I'd gladly accept a battlepass-esque system over the shite that we saw with Battlefront 2 and BFV. Admittedly Battlefront 2 eventually turned into an amazing title with a very generous amount of content.

Eh, I feel like the free/paid Battlepass model is a pretty decent compromise. If that's what everyone ultimately settles on for this stuff I can live with it.

That's great, as long as the Battle Pass pays for itself like in Warzone this will be all I asked for.

Couldn't give a single fuck about a single player mode. There are several options for that in the market and I want total focus on the competitive aspect.

No single player and then they want to charge for the passes too that are limited time. I swear, I'd pay for the damn passes if they gave us unlimited time to complete them. We are NOT ALL going to be trying to rush through the passes.

No campaign + next gen tax to boot. I mean the trailer looked cool and all, but for me personally I don't see why I'd drop the full next gen price when I know I would be spending most of my multiplayer time in Halo this year, and there's no campaign to enjoy. Charging full price for a multiplayer-only game in 2021 seems weird to me when they have so many other ways of monetizing it.

If it comes to game pass, of course I'm gonna play it.

Great.

Battlefield campaigns are side distractions. The meat of the games are multiplayer.

Fine with this.

in reference to not having a campaign, it's good because it means more time, money, effort, energy is able to be spent on multiplayer modes.

I love CoD campaigns - always play them, and I hated that Blops 4 cut it. Because CoD campaigns are actually good. BF campaigns, I played them all, and they somehow got worse as time went on.

Sounds good to me. Focusing all on multiplayer is what I like.

They require you to make the game your life. You get a time limit on your grind. If you don't complete the pass in time you lose the content forever.

If you have attempted to play two different games that both feature a battle pass, you know how impossible it is.

Thread title is misleading. Will have a Free and Paid Battle Pass just like most GaaS. You don't need to pay if you don't want to.
