how is the single player of this game?

[dan]

Im considering getting it. but im reading conflicting info on whether it has a single player or not.

[Fingeris]

not, only local play where you can run it solo with bots

[Depression_pills]

They decided lean to multiplayer since i think before the alpha stage, so the closest single player you get is solo game with bots. either way they'll find bugs and glitches. if they manage to fix the majority of the problems, i hope there will be a singleplayer campaign

Gone - they canceled that back in Sept/Oct '18. They have never done that before, or make a new game on UE4. They bit off more than they could chew. This year they need to get the game out to modders on PC and to console (again something they have never done). Single player is dead for a very long time or forever.

As long as they make playing with bots much better and more customizable im ok with it.

These type of games campaigns are never easy to make interesting anyway.And with the general map size of ISS,i cant see a good SP coming along.

I say simply focus on the MP,and refining Local play experience for those who either have bad internet,live in far out regions,or simply want to enjoy the game with AI Bots.

thats a shame. SP is the only reason i can think of that i would play this game in addition to squad and post scriptum.

Well they have some significant differences. But hey, best you don't get it then. Good you asked before buying.

They dont have SP which is why im looking for a game with similar organic gun-handling which I can play somewhat mindlessly against bots. A game that I can pause or quit anytime without screwing my team over like say during a solo logi run in the middle of nowhere in Squad.

As you guys say, single player is possible but only if all dudes on my team are bots too. i think i can live with that. might get this. hopefully it goes on sale in the lunar event.

Mate as a player with 3000 hours in Arma 3..i demand you buy it.

you can use 3D editor to create ANY scenario u can imagine..or download one of the thousands of community made missions.

Its the best option you will find,you wont regret.

No it doesnt have to be milsim approach,their are mods and settings to "arcade-ify" your experience.

Just to be clear i enjoy milsim stuff and squad and PS but i have a hole in my heart for a mindless shooter with bouncy guns and thumpy sounds. squad and PS have bouncy guns and thumpy sounds but they can't played with an empty head. (although you'd wonder considering the noobcakes overrunning squad these days.)

Exactly why i like it so much ( at least the co-op part ) Squad and PS require A LOT of comms. Here its chill and straight forward. A nice change of pace. Again, if on sale i urge you to give co-op a try.

The best way to describe this game is, hardcore tactical shooter, without the minecraft elements. You don't have to build anything, you don't have to hike for an hour to get killed at first contact. It really is the perfect fit between the hardcore milsims and the jumpy twitchy boy bullet sponge shooters. There is a great player base here, we just don't typically play on public servers.
