SWBFGamers

I want to see where the community is at, if it is mainly a multiplayer community or it can still be focused on singleplayer enhancements like mod maps, large side mods etc.

[spoiler]I played singleplayer for a long time until I got the PC port of SWBFI. Then I could play on the Gamespy servers. Then there was the Great Server Purge. Now I'm back to singleplayer only.  :confused: But I still have fun with mods and things of that nature.[/spoiler]

Multiplayer :P When the servers first went down I thought that may change, but thanks to tunngle :tu:

I play a mix of both. I still love playing mod maps and side mods, though I also like playing with what's left of the community on Tunngle. :P

Singleplayer is a bit boring for me. I sometimes use it to record freecams, but that's about it.

Would you (or anyone else) have played only singleplayer if there was no way to play multiplayer again?

I play both equally, but MP is more fun  :xmastim:

I play multi player a whole lot more, if I'm connected to the internet you'll see me on multiplayer, not on single player. I only play singleplayer when there is no internet and I can't sleep :P . If there was no way to play multiplayer then I would only play if a new mod came out or something, since I get bored with mods easily and most times I only use mods for a day. Multiplayer I play about 14 hours weekly and maybe 2 or 3 on single player.   

I played singleplayer and alot of Co-op on PS2 for about 6 years but since I started playing online I only play singleplayer for mods. Singleplayer is good fun but for me nothing beats the atmosphere you get going on a server full of real people and seeing all the different play styles and tactics that you just can't get with AI (yet :) ).

Yeah, I would play on single player just as much if tunngle didn't exist. There are hundreds of mod maps on here to be played. I never get board of campaign either :P

I didn't know that you played singleplayer Phobos! You seem like a more "multiplayer only" type of guy.  ;)

This is how I feel. If I could play online I would do that a lot more than singleplayer. But I'm just fine playing singleplayer, it puts you more into the "random trooper on the battlefield" which multiplayer doesn't do as well. Besides, some maps just aren't as fun in multiplayer. But in singleplayer with all the bots it really feels like a battle!

Same here, I wonder why people bag on the campain for SWBFI. I like it way better than SWBFII's campaign.  :sick:

I usually play single player, instant action or galactic conquest. I really find the campaign boring though.

This is actually quite intersting to me! I thought that almost everyone only played Multiplayer and never played singleplayer. I'm happy to see that people still do that. Maybe we could come up with more singleplayer challenges then...

I always liked the idea of having some sort of highscore board. Like the old pacman games have. Only we would do it per map. maybe start with 5 stock maps and see how it goes. Everyone just plays SP, takes a screen shot of the match and the top 5-10 scores are kept on record.

I would love to organize a singleplayer tournament, but the thing is there is no way to regulate certain things like difficulty, radar, and Friendly Fire. If there was a way to make a mission map of a stock map to make the maps settings override the profile settings then it would be fun...
We can talk over xfire more if you want to help me.... :)

Yes! I would love too :D

Well I'm on a lot because this week is spring break. Just catch me on there. In the mean time I will try and figure out more ideas for singleplayer tournaments!  :)

I've probably played 5 minutes on singleplayer and like 1200 hours on multiplayer.

Another one that prefers single player ;D

In my opinion, singleplayer is fun when you want to test out a map how it is "meant to be played". The AI follow paths, the sides are usually balanced, and the AI all have about the same skill level. AI tend to be very predictable. (Unless mods are installed)

But I prefer multiplayer because it's usually quite the opposite. Human players don't follow set paths, they can be very unpredictable, and they can choose where they want to spawn and what unit they want. The fact that sides are usually unbalanced makes it more fun to me. I would rather play against an opponent that has the ability to flank and manuver. It's more difficult.

I only play singleplayer if no one else is online or if I'm testing mods. That's about it. :shrug:

Most often single player for the wacky weapon mods.
