    I'm very cautious about this.
    Didn't they say that there would be 3 or maps per planet? This is probably one of those rather than a 'mode' as such.
    Plus, i'm not hugely keen on the idea of having to hunt only 1 thing - I'd rather have some element of strategy in space battles - targets to weaken the enemy as it were rather than target to win.

    No it's a mode. Some aerial Search and Destroy type thingy.

    the title says "Fighter Squadron Mode".

    Yes but this would be bordering straight-up lying. As in, illegal false advertising.


    If this isn't a proper mode, that means some other mode is happening. And if that's the case, well there would be evidence of that.

    Not necessarily, as one could call it a mode.... that just happens to be exclusive to certain maps etc... or rather maps that are exclusive to certain modes.

    For instance that ATAT 'on rails' 'mode' on hoth looked horribly linear - I would be surprised if there wasn't a separate hoth maps with KOTH type play... which would be a 'mode' and 'map' ... if you see where I'm coming from.

    There are people who only get Call of Duty for the campaigns.

    SP people just aren't vocal, or as vocal as the MP crowd.

    Im not much of a MP guy, so no not really.

    Although to be fair, the first Star Wars shoot em up I ever played was renegade squadron for the PSP...it was like 1 of 3 games I had for it, and was quite decent.

    I dunno, but I have played the first few COD games campaigns....and they are fairly decent.

    I don't know.. It's kind of true, I myself love story based games with some multiplayer, but a lot of games are just built for multiplayer.

    Nobody plays for the single player in COD, there is none in tf2, in CSGO, in Titanfall... etc... a lot of games are multiplayer exclusive.

    When I was in college and I was forced to associate with CoD players, we definitely mixed it up between single, versus, online, and co-op.

    I liked the singleplayer/co-op more. The versus/online was boring. Everybody dies to only one headshot and you never get properly ambushed by like 12 dudes.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again. DICE makes **** campaigns. The only reason I don't think BF4's campaign is worse than Warfighter's is because BF4 was pitifully short.

    What about Bad Company though? <333

    When was this? The single player campaigns are laughable now and are only included as they think they need it. (I don't like how it's multilayer plays out either, I was only pointing out why most people get the games.)

    That just had the advantage of being not bad. It wasn't really that good.

    And their more recent efforts have been horrid. BF4 especially felt like it had a campaign not because they wanted to make one, but because EA told them they needed to have one.

    Let them near Star Wars and they'll come up with something worse than Phantom Menace.
