Hello

i would like to get very body's opinion on what they think the single player part of this game will be like ( i know we are all look forward to when the beta comes out for the multiplayer and when the game is released) but as a tried a true single player patriot i would like to discuss it with you all so do you think that it will be a linear story or open world? Personal i will not might if it is linear but i do think that with the setting an open world could work especially if it is set in the hole of Europe.


P.S Please keep this discuss civil i would hate to have a mod lock it because of a troll or some other reason

When they said that this game takes place in a different world, because of Vikings vs Samurai vs Knights, I took that to mean that everything would be different, including the world they are on or something like that. I mean, when have the Samurai from Japan ever roamed the desert like the Chosen do in this game? I could be wrong though. Also, I think the campaign would be linear, usually with open world games you have some sort of RPG elements, but from what we've heard there really isn't anything to indicate there will be any RPG elements.

I think the singleplayer will be like a tutorial for all factions but with a small backstory, in one of the videos a developer said the game isn't about great characters and great story but about feeling like you are a warrior.

I deafeningly think that the hope world has in some sense gone to hell especially if the Japanese have turned into a nomad horde and have some how made their way to Europe linear games can have RPG elements to them also if there is customization in the multiplayer then i would like to think there could be some in the single player as well but we will just have to wait a see then the developers tell us more

@ Coma987 i hope that is not the case other wise this game will be just like rainbow 6 siege and i do hope that does not happen

What could be interesting: if they turned the single player campaign into a tactical overworld map where you can select different fronts to fight at (maybe a little bit like the boardgame Risk).
You select your next battle territory and enemy (different fronts with different heroes), maybe even are able to form alliances (wink to possible DLC with allied factions - spartans, sarazens, celts and so on) and, depending on the 'route' you take, may even reach different end scenarios / endings.

When I was at Gamescom they did confirm that the story is going to be like a proper campaign of some kind with a story and taking place entirely offline, unlike games like Titanfall which had a campaign but it was really just an online match with commentary.

I'm hoping that there's enough single player content to explain all of the different paths. Like, samurai leaving Japan to become nomads and wandering through the deserts? I'd love to play through that! And not just because #Iamchosen.

AWESOME. THAT'S WHAT.

In all seriousness, I'm not too familiar with the histories behind samurais and vikings and such, but I can't wait to cut some limbs off and beat the crap out of some vikings and knights... Just like UbiSeraphim, I'm wondering if there will be a different story line for each faction? So. Many. Hours. In. Game.

I would really like to know what single player leves look like or is it just like multiplayer matches with bots and backstory ? I think the single player campaign will be shooter-ish, play through scripted levesl watch some cutscenes, etc. Also i think they already said that there will be proper Hero characters along the way.
