When will we get a military FPS with an actually good single-player?

These type of games are mostly played for the multi-player but I'm wondering if we'll ever see such a game with an actually good single-player campaign again?

The single-player in most such games is usually pretty short, limited and heavily scripted.

How about a long enough, varried, story-driven and generally enjoyable single-player with good AI and physics usage for a change?

Not for awhile, because devs are too scared to step outside of the comfort zone/"what sells" zone.

there have been military shooters with good campaigns. Like BC2.

But if you mean *great*, I'm not sure because the main focus of military shooters is usually online.

ArmA 2 OA actually had a decent one.

BC1 had a good campaign. BC2 was pretty awful unless it gets dramatically better after the first half. I can't bring myself to play that thing through.

medal of honor? call of duty? brothers in arms?

Wasdie

It was also pretty short and bugged.

CaseyWegner

Scripted bore-fests, all of them :P

Brothers of arms did it for me. And so did (Holds flame shield) Black ops........... what?

ghost recon?

I'm not going to lie, BO actually had a decent campaign. The multiplayer was mediocre crap though :P

ghost recon?

CaseyWegner

I tried GRAW but it was rather dull imo.

Black Ops actually did. It was the only redeeming quality about it. In reality the multiplayer was still the same crud I bash it on.

I forgot all about BiA. Probably because the last one was so terrible. Hopefully their new direction on the sequel will be awesome.

If you want to count The killzone games and Crysis 2 as military shooters, did you like those TC?

We've had plenty already. All the Medal of Honor's up until (and including) Allied Assault. Call of Duty and United Offensive. Battlefield Bad Company's. Republic Commando.

Honestly, people that want a decent single player story in an FPS are in the minority. I think most people just want to shoot other people in the face. So why bother putting effort in a good single player FPS? They have been few and far between lately, and we're likely to see less and less of them.

The COD series has the best SP campaigns when it comes to military shooters, its just top notch, nothing comes close, but many would hate to admit it because of all the Activision/COD hate ...on the other hand BC & BC 2 SP campaigns were just meh to be quite honest

Black Ops' was quite good. MW3's looking good.IronBass

I'm still hoping he might show up in MW3, though its doubtful, on the other hand I believe Roach might be back ...I've always thought maybe his name "Roach" was a hint, you know how they say its hard to kill a Roach ...just a thought

I agree. Good thing they're not as pesky as those "I'm a badass in the middle of an alien infestation, time to kick some ass" games.

I thought the original Vietcong was pretty damn fun (save for the glitches).

COD:MW still has one of the best SP imo. Who cares if its short, if it delivers.

you must be reffering back to the late 90's then huh :P

What we need is a full stealth campaign. The "stealth" moments in CoD4 and MW2 were fun, albeit too scripted. Make a good one and let the MP get the whole shooter thing.IronBass

I think there was a WW2 stealth game released a couple of years ago where you play as this girl. I don't remember if it got praised or anything, but I assume it was bad since no one talks about it. Luxen90

Yeah that would be cool too. I had a lot of fun with Project IGI.
