From
what I've been hearing, there is not a single-player campaign in the
upcoming Star Wars Batthefront game. In the past, it has been a
tradition for online, multiplayer-shooters to include single-player
campaigns, and some developers have even linked the single-player
portion with the online portion by awarding players with special
items that can only be earned in the campaign. Yet, despite these
incentives, data has shown that players rarely finish the campaigns
and spend most of their time in online mode (they must not be paying
any attention to my gaming habits!) Sony and Microsoft both have a
rewards system with game trophies or achievements that reflect
certain in-game accomplishments. These awards are intended not only
for player bragging rights, but to serve as tracking mechanisms by
which game companies can see just how much people are playing their
game, and what they are achieving in it. Data for single-player
campaign completion is miserably low, so it's hard to blame
publishers like EA for deciding to leave the campaign out. Instead,
they spend all their development time and money on multiplayer.
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
