Titanfall 2: How Long the Single Player Campaign Is

Titanfall 2 is due to release later this week and brings with it an entire standalone single player campaign. Here's how long it'll take you to complete.

[WithoutTheJamIn]

5 hours... another brutally short campaign... sigh

[DaDrunkenJester]

5 hour really fun campaign is better than a 8-12 hour boring one...

[rdgneoz3]

And a 5 hour boring campaign is not as good as an 8-12 hour fun campaign.

[game4funz]

But is it fun?
I'm getting the feeling some companies are paying off reviewers.

Battlefield 1 campaign is really nothing special. And now this one is praised too....

[_-EDMIX-_]

Completely agreed

[freshslicepizza]

5 hours is still not bad compared to the countelss hours online and a vr game that costs the same and is only 3-5 hours.

[WithoutTheJamIn]

I agree that 5 hours of decent quality is better than 10 hours of garbage, but surely developers can capitalise on that mindset by saving time and money producing a shorter campaign and using precisely that line of defence?

Also have to disagree regarding the quality of Battlefield 1 campaign, I personally felt it was the most immersive war game I have played since probably COD 4: Modern Warfare. My only criticism would be the campaign length, which takes me back to the point mentioned previously.

[Critic4l_Strik3]

FPS's and TPS's have always had short campaigns for the most part...

[Fyflin]

@Critical

How long have you been gaming!?

[_-EDMIX-_]

@Fyflin- he's not really incorrect with that notion the average single player campaign actually really isn't that long all you have to do is look on gaming websites like how long is my game and you'll see that the majority of single player games of first-person shooters or third-person Shooters is actually typically not as long as you might think

In fact I'd argue that first person shooters or third-person shooters that go beyond 20 hours are actually very rare.

I mean all you have to do is look at the data , I'm not saying whether it's good or bad I'm simply saying I'm pretty positive the average first person shooter and third person shooter is actually very short in regards to game length.

[Muzikguy]

You believe that? I've been gaming since the genre was created and I don't agree for one second. Original Doom was long. "Old school" COD games had decent length campaigns. Uncharted has a longer story. Tomb Raider games on PS1 weren't short. Killzone 2, also not a short game. A little game called Area 51 on PS2 was longer than I ever expected. I could go on and on

I guess if people keep buying these short games companies will continue to put them out. That's probably the biggest problem right there. Consumers selling themselves short. We should expect more, but we should also pay for it too. If nobody buys a game that is longer why would a company make it? Works both ways

[WellyUK]

Good thing people who have a brain buy these sort of games for the MP which is who they are made for... But then again you all bitched and wanted a SP then they give you one and you still cry about it. And you wonder why they don't bother anymore.

[Sparta07]

Wow!!! dumbest comment I read in a while. so is bad that we ( the consumers ) want a good single player???
IS it really bad that we want a good single player campaign and a good mutiplay game?
They way some people think around here is unbelievable.

[Chiefstabahoe]

Most of EAs games are like this and most of us expected this and the sad part...we told yall not to get ur hopes up. Clearly yall didn't listen. I have no intention to buy TF2 for its campaign

Doom has a good single player and yet ppl still bitched and cried cause it barley had a story

[Germany7]

Judging by your comments, you sure don't have a brain.

[UCForce]

"Sign"Are you just that low ?

[WellyUK]

No I just think they can't win as you now all bitch it's too short despite being good... Then you all wonder why they go the MP only route, this is the reason.

[Quickdeath-56]

It took me 4 hours

[ApexWolf22]

"Prepare for TitanFall"...speed runs on Twitch lol...2 hours or less...

[chobit_A5HL3Y]

they threw it in there because people bitched about it not having one in the first one. it's there simply to cover all the bases this time around. the vast majority of people will buy this for the mp and they know it.

[spicelicka]

That doesn't mean the campaign isn't good, so far it's been praised. I'd much rather take this package than the same package without the campaign, because we all know they would've just made the multiplayer the same way and charged $60.

I don't care what anyone else has to say, a good story with good gameplay and good multiplayer gets me a lot more invested in an IP than just multiplayer. I felt the first game had a lot of spirit and I felt emotionally connected but couldn't do anything with it because there was no story to experience. I'll gladly accept this.

[coolbeans]

"...because we all know they would've just made the multiplayer the same way and charged $60."

But do we though? Now, with all the other stuff in your comment I can totally follow along. But I'm quoting this part b/c I think this could feed back to my blog on this a few months back (which I remember you contributing).

-How much went into making this campaign?
-Could those resources have been allocated to create a few more shipped maps instead?

I don't think we'll ever know the answer, but I just wanted to pose this thought. NOTE: I'm still very excited for TF2 regardless and hope I enjoy the campaign a whole lot! :D

[spicelicka]

I don't know that for sure of course, but my guess is based off the general trend with multiplayer-only games this entire gen that have little content (Battlefront, Evolve, R6 Seige etc.), and the fact that most gaming companies would not dump the single player budget on the multiplayer to make it "better'. They would instead use a slightly larger multiplayer budget, and save on costs.

Again, that's based on how publishers function nowadays, if there were games to show me otherwise then I'd happily change my opinion.

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

So they put a SP in the game because people bitches about the first not having one. Now people are complaining about the length of the SP that was added to the second game? Man some people....

[conanlifts]

They are also giving away all future maps so no season pass. Pretty good. My issue with the first was i was rarely able to get a game on the new maps as there was never more than a few people online in Aus when i wanted to play.

[opinionated]

If you added a question mark at the end of the title it would be perfect Ebonics.

How long that single playa campaign is?

[Palitera]

Nice. 12 hours to me then.

[Fist4achin]

I usually tack on another hour or three from what reviewers list. I tend to be tedious and anal when searching and exploring areas in games. The campaign does seem a little short, but I hope it is good. Judging from the talent on the development staff, I think it will be.

[gnomefighter3d]

I see nothing wrong with a shorter campaign. 5-10 Hrs is perfect for this aging gamer that no longer has lot of time for a game that is 20 + hours. Plus the main focus is multiplayer anyway.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

I don't have Internet right now so all I'd be interested in SP to begin with

[DefenderOfDoom2]

I am definitely buying TITANFALL 2 for the campaign . But i am going to wait till the price drops down to 30 to 35 dollars US new . If the campaign was 8 to 10 hours on the default difficulty level, i would have paid the 60 dollars , only because i plan on not playing the TITANFALL 2 multiplayer that much at this time, due to fact the 2nd DLC map pack for DOOM 2016 and more classic DOOM Snap Maps are coming out tomorrow .

Crazy , so many good FPS games from 2016 and not enough time to play them all during launch window . So no complaints from me right now.

[Kramerica13]

That's a letdown.

[PizzaSteve]

I always play hard mode 1st because it gives me a challenge and usually takes me more than 10hrs to finish. I think the average gamer don't like to play hard mode because you die more which can be frustrating to some.

[conanlifts]

So i am installing it now and the update is only 82mb for the install. That's unusual. I wonder if there will be a second update when i try to start it.

[Elda]

I only play SP games I don't get into the competitive multiplayer part of fps games.I didn't get to play the first Titanfall due to the fact it was exclusive to XB & PC.I'm going to buy Titanfall 2,I usually don't rush through games & it'll probably take me 6 to 8 hrs to complete.
