Battlefield 3 will Feature a Lengthy Campaign

Tired of five hour campaigns, DICE is all set to deliver a lengthy single player campaign with Battlefield 3.

Bored of painfully short games that end in under five hours? Us too. And it looks like DICE are about to rectify that problem with Battlefield 3 that promises a 12 hour single player campaign. This comes straight from the horse’s AKA DICE general manager Karl Troedsson’s mouth (Via Eurogamer) in a recent interview with Games.on.net.

The anticipation is painful

Here's what he had to say, "Naturally we want to introduce more people to our franchise. A lot of people don't want to jump straight into multiplayer. They want to feel around a bit and they're ready to move over to online. The hardcore online people, they don't care, they're just straight in. Maybe they don't even touch the campaign. But we want to get more people in, invite more people into the franchise. That's one of the main reasons why we have this different part of the game."

This obviously comes as icing on the cake as the Battlefield series never had a single player campaign to begin with (no that’s the Bad Company series you’re thinking about).

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
