Multiplayer Modes That Ended up More Popular Than the Main Game
Battlefield 3
Battlefield 3 shares a similar story to Call of Duty: World at War in terms of how its multiplayer fared compared to its campaign mode. The multiplayer was amazing, but there was really nothing to the campaign at all. Tell me, can you remember the name of the main character from Battlefield 3’s story without looking it up?
The competitive multiplayer was basically more of the same that we got in Battlefield: Bad Company 2, but that’s certainly not a bad thing —that game’s competitive multiplayer was downright excellent. It’s just a shame that Battlefield 3 didn’t follow in the footsteps of that game’s campaign mode. Battlefield 3 really doubled down on the multiplayer aspect, and it’s hard to argue with the results. What we got was a multiplayer mode with a great focus on teamwork, a varied class system, and great vehicular combat, too. It begs the question why the lackluster single-player mode was even included.
