What exactly is Single Player?

[♂TheBlasterMaster™✞]

Is it truly you playing alone with AI team mates against other AI enemies?

Not yet. Right now Single Player is just you playing Terrorist Hunt by yourself in an offline server against AI enemies without AI teammates. A Single Player campaign is planned, but from what I understand they will be standalone missions, not a string of missions connected to an overarching story (like the optional missions in Splinter Cell Blacklist).

Personally, I prefer this approach over a story campaign.

OK, Thank you.
I read this on the Steam page:

Prefer single-player? Missions with friendly A.I. and a full command system (both in development by industry veteran and A.I. researcher Phil Carlisle) are fully planned.

I thought the word "planned" was a clue. Maybe I will wait for now.

The AI right now are super-duper WIP. They use really basic pathing and I don't think friendly AI will be implemented for a long while

The game has FANTASTIC co-op though. Don't sell yourself short! But for a single player experience there's a lot to be desired

Sort of reminds me of the first SOCOM: US Navy SEALs. You had a localized story in the form of "Go dismantle this terrorist network in this locale," but there was no overarching story.

While I think this game has the potential for an excellent, realistic overarching story (if I recall, the original proposed plot for Ground Branch was going to be a counterinsurgency campaign somewhere in Southeast Asia), I can also see the logic behind their current decision.

So it's like SWAT 4 where there's no actual overarching story? Just a set of operations?

It makes sense, and it works in the context of military. I know that the team doesn't have the budget or scope to develop an actual cohesive storyline but I would have liked it.

Maybe in an expansion pack a few years from now. That would be perfect.

◇ Planned/future:

"GROUND BRANCH’s unique “campaign” format will deliver smaller, more localized sets of missions based around global hotspots, with a centralized intelligence interface to monitor them and receive new mission orders over time. The choices you make along the way may affect future engagements." (source: All Features, Working And Planned[www.groundbranch.com])
