Re: Thoughts on Backyard Battleground.

One of the developers dropped a hint in an interview that the next game (assuming it comes to fruition) will include a true campaign mode. So I think we can expect innovations in the single player experience in general, and by extension whatever will be the equivalent of the backyard battleground.

The backyard is a huge improvement over the menu interface of the first game.  I believe that Popcap is happy with the result of their work on it, and I would hope that it would be part of a future installment and expanded upon in some manner.

Excellent suggestions here.  People generally like playing in the backyard, and would do so even more if there were more things to do in it.  As is, the backyard is compelling for a while, but pretty limited in feel once one has played for a long time.
