Mod Edit UPDATE:
What the fuck... aside from BOIII, Black Ops' strongest thing is the campaign. I buy CoD for campaign, stay for multiplayer.
I hope this doesn't end up true.

From the article
It's a shame, CoD campaign mode is the only thing that intereses me (tho, to be honest, I haven't bought a CoD since MW3)
They're been given more time with SHG now in the development loop, so I don't have an idea how they would be struggling with time.
How is it not enough time on a three team rotation? Dice is the sole dev on bf.
Won't buy if it doesn't have a single player campaign.
Which is weird, because weren't the Black Ops games the ones that had a really strong single player component? Maybe I'm just thinking of the first one and how it tied into CoD: WaW.

Without SP I won't be buying. I'm one of those strange people that buys COD for the SP. I don't really mind though, as the fall is packed and this would help save money.
Cool, no buy for me.
I must be the weird guy that plays CODs for the campaign mainly. I already hated BO3, its a shame, Treyarch did awesome campaigns.

Well damn... I'm one of the weird folks that only buys CoD games for the campaign. Seems like I won't be buying BLOPS this year then. Not really feeling too bad about that though.
3 years is still a somewhat short time period if a few things go wrong in development.
I'd say it's more that Zombies is incredibly popular and it can serve as a SP mode or with friends. so let's focus on that and proper MP and let the remaster of MW2 be thrown in for SP

DICE is a gigantic studio, though. And well... Battlefield campaigns aren't known for being specially long.
This is the same studio that successfully implemented branching storytelling and narrative choice in a first-person shooter. I didn't play Blops 3, although I understand it was a bit of a misfire. Black Ops IIII seemed like a great opportunity to reassert themselves as bold storytellers in the FPS space.
Black Ops III was already pushing in that direction.
That is being way too nice.
Given how many people work on these things, how they're split up, it makes zero sense. I love playing CoD campaigns every year, they're like really cool summer blockbusters that I can invest myself in. I seriously hope this doesn't become a trend for the series.
I don't see why they don't have time. They could have hired outside writers like they have in the past with David S. Goyer (The Dark Knight) to work on it WHILE they were still developing BO3. That way, they're ready with a story when they get to work on BO4. Then, they have about three years to make the actual game.
These things always sell so it's not like they have to "wait and see" to make sure they don't invest in something that's not worth it.
I'm incredibly frustrated by this news.
I find this not only hard to believe, but actually almost impossible. Activision must know that the CoD games attract people for a variety of reasons: single player campaign, competitive MP and co-op zombies/horde style. Making the choice to cut out one of those would, in effect, be saying 'fuck a third of our target audience'.
ftfy.
so what are the chances of there being a br mode in this game lol?
I play Call of Duty for the campaigns, if there is no single player campaign I am probably not going to buy it. I wonder if future Call of Duty games will not feature a traditional campaign mode.
What a joke, MP and Zombies better be packed like never before. Especially with the countess support studios Activision has you'd think they coy just have brought one of those on.
Same here. IMO CoD's campaigns are the main draw (I don't really enjoy playing MP) and they're pretty consistently "not bad" to "really good" - ie, they're usually worth (and sometimes well worth) a playthrough. Without SP there's nothing to draw me in and no reason to buy. Hoping this is an incorrect story, but I guess we'll have to see.
Three years isnt enough for 6 hours setpieced campaign and the ususl MP? It is call of duty after all. Things dont go wrong.
