Why is there so much emphasis on multiplayer when it has a strong single player campaign? Is id feeling pressure from modern gamers to focus on MP?
That's what puzzled me as well. Since many weeks, all the focus regarding marketing is on multiplayer. Not a single thing (or close to nothing) regarding single player, snapmap etc. They marketed that before, and suddenly, it's all multiplayer.
To be honest, I expected to be able to at least play a single level in singleplayer during the beta, because - at least to me - first and foremost Doom is a singleplayer game.
I know I am repeating myself, but the whole Star Wars: Battlefront thing proofed that there is still interest in good single player games.
It will be interesting to see how Bethesda deals with the current situation. I guess they will go along as planned, and maybe even planned all along to switch back to marketing the single player closer to launch, but we will never know.
At the moment, I fear that next week most gaming sites will feature a story regarding the terrible reviews on Steam. If Bethesda is quick, they jump in and take the focus to single player by showing some awesome new stuff.
Then again I suck at marketing ;)
