Am I the only one that prefers single player?

I was wondering am I the only one that prefer single player over multiplayer? I mean don't get me wrong I like multiplayer & play here & there if I am in the mood but I prefer playing star wars battlefront 2 in single player.

I mean you don't have to worry about lag, balancing issues, hour long matches, glitches & etc. With single player you have instant action & arcade in which you can customize every match to your liking. Not to mention the bots are actually pretty good depending on the map you play.

If you ask me single player is how the game should be with multiplayer on the side. Games are becoming to online heavy in my opinion & the single player is pretty much what makes this game for me not the multiplayer. Being able to play as any hero, reinforcement, & on any era I want is what makes the game fun for me.

Now I am not trying to cause any hate or start any flame wars but I feel like if I want to play multiplayer I should be playing battlefront 2015. The multiplayer is 10x better there in my opinion because the game was made/centered around multiplayer.

This game I feel like has an identity crisis trying to be it's own game yet trying to copy what the classics battlefront games had going for it. In my opinion this game doesn't do a good job with the multiplayer but has an amazing single player. The single player in my opinion did a better job at capturing the classic single player feel that 2004 & 2005 had. Multiplayer is just a mess of random game modes supremacy. Would be fun since it's the classic game play but online but because of balancing issues & the ship phase (not a fan of the ship phase) the game loses all fun in my opinion.

In my opinion this game is only redeemed because of the single player content. Once again I am not trying to start a flame war or anything just looking for others who kind of or just agree with me lol. Now if you want to say why multiplayer is better then single player go ahead but please don't turn this into a flame war or anything.

@exiledroseI think Battlefront II is doing great overall in both singleplayer and multiplayer modes, though I generally like multiplayer more.
BF 2015 has some nice survival missions that can be hard while the multiplayer mode feels outright horrible in most modes. Starting with the walker assault mode which resembles a completely lopsided rush mode in favor of the empire (including beloved spawnkilling) as well as many minor infantry modes with all this gadget and OP weapon spamming.
Sure, it's the freedom and part of the fun that this game lets you decide what setup you're going to use for your soldier, but especially in smaller modes it mostly comes down to who uses the cheesier weapon and/or gadget.
Also not to forget how cheater infested this game is in relation to the low playerbase that's left.

I personally prefer local co-op followed by local mp. Being able to play games with some one sitting next to you is amazing.

@TRlALON You do have points about 2015 lol. Though for me only cheating gadget I use if I play 2015 is the bacta grenade. I have one of those special ability cards equipped but I rarely ever use it (it's mostly the damage one) & only use it on heros. Never use it on infantry, Weapon I only use the E-11 & the thermal grenade. For trait use survivalist. I am not a fan of the ee-4 or the the shield & jet pack & I usually find myself on top of the leaderboard lol.

Though I play on ps4 & find myself running into modded lobbies & getting DOSed out of the matches & having to restart my console because somehow the wifi on the ps4 gets completely disabled. So it's kind of put me off playing 2015. I mean you would think sony would have better stuff in place to prevent this.

Though if you manage to get a legit match the game is quite fun but those are to far in between from my personal experience. Though because battlefront 2015 is filled with modders, glitchers, & of course hackers that DOS you. I am kind of done with that game lol.
