No ur missing the point by automaticaly assuming that if theyhad put out a campaign the game would of been shit. U just assume it would of ruined the game and made it worse. Who's to say it wouldn't of been gg as fuck and worth the play through? My issue is the fact that they didn't even bother to put up the effort of even a shit campaign. Pure laziness
I don't think I ever said the game would be shit if they put in a campaign, I just said it's not needed and it generally does seem to subtract from the overall quality of FPS games lately. What you define as laziness is in fact the exact opposite, these are people who have worked in a competitive gaming market and they are catering to that market, not to the casuals (or they were trying to at least). The game hasn't done as well as I would have liked and the competitive aspect is fairly dead, which means the game will most likely fail. They took a chance though and I respect them for that, it's not easy trying to take on a giant like Cod but that's what they were attempting to do. It's pointless to put in a shitty campaign or spend half your resources putting in a good campaign if you know that's not where the market for extensive gameplay is.
I'm always happy to see a dev focus more on the multiplayer aspect because that's what I care about. Go play a RPG or something if you care about the Campaign aspect, it's that easy lol. The only successful FPS I can think of with an actually epic campaign was the Halo Series and that died because they fucked over their competitive market and focused far too much time on other aspects of the game which people didn't care as adamantly about anymore.
