Thinking about picking up Battlefield 2042? If so, one of your burning questions may be, “Does Battlefield 2042 have a single-player campaign?” It may surprise you that the answer to that question is a resounding “no.” Below, we discuss more about this decision from DICE and EA.
Does Battlefield 2042 Have a Single-Player Campaign? No
Traditionally, a single-player campaign has been a part of the Battlefield franchise. But for Battlefield 2042, DICE and EA decided to scrap the idea entirely, and make the game exclusively multiplayer.
What do players think about the absence of a single-player mode in Battlefield 2042? Well, some fans don’t think it is a big deal. The main emphasis was on multiplayer already, they argue, and the single-player story mode was not really a big contribution to the game value.
On the other hand, not everybody feels that way. A lot of gamers love Battlefield’s story modes, and look forward to a single player campaign experience. To those players, losing such an experience in Battlefield 2042 is a disappointment.
And then there are some gamers who may take a different stance. For example, they may enjoy Battlefield single-player stories, but feel that if the developers just did not have a solid story to tell in Battlefield 2042, it is more sensible to leave it out and put all resources into multiplayer.
So, just be aware if you are going to get the game that it is a multiplayer-only experience, and Battlefield 2042 does not have a single-player campaign. So long as your expectations are aligned, you should be happy with your purchase.
