It's an MMO so.....you can just choose to play solo so that's kinda like single player i guess but not quite. Atleast as far my knowledge goes it's an mmo

If you assume an offline mode? No. It is a live service game.
Can your missions be single player? Yes

Just about every game says "single player" even when it's not meant to be. If it's team PvP or PvE, they will still say "single player" as long as you can queue solo into matchmaking.
That tag is rubbish.

Based on the last beta, TFD cannot be said to be entirely single player possible.
You can progress everything solo or have some alternative, except Colossus raids. Previously there was a solo mode, apparently. You can still find some youtube guides. But in the last beta I did not see an option to do so.

Therefore, unless they change this for release, we will need some kind of population that is at least willing to do low-level colossus content. Otherwise, if the population drops, new players will be stuck for that content without enough people to queue into it. Or they will just get carried by high-levels helping out and in the process not really learn anything and the player base will steadily grow a population of high-level incompetents.

So far it doesn't appear that content is scaled according to the number of players, so if you are very short-handed in team size, you will probably fail the timer component.

Hard to say how things will be at launch or how they distribute the need to do the different types of colossus raids.
