The most common complaint tabled at Star Wars: Battlefront when it initially came out was its lack of single player story. The game while certainly impressive, only really worked for those who like to get stuck in with multiplayer modes.

This isn't lost on DICE or EA though. In fact, it looks likely we will be getting a larger single player componant in the sequel. Speaking on the Achievement Oriented podcast (via Gamespot), EA's Justin McCully, while not stating outright the mode, certainly alluded to it pretty heavily. He said:

The focus of the first game was to nail the core multiplayer experience of what DICE does great. That was the strategy of that title. And now as we expand in the universe we have better sense of what characters are coming into play, what stories we can tell, what stories are maybe being told in a film versus a game, that's where we've really ramped up the interaction with the [Lucasfilm Story Group] to bring those games to market.

We heard the fans loud and clear that the multiplayer was great, but it wasn't enough and they wanted that complete package. So the team has been very focused on delivering that single-player element.

While Battlefront most certainly could have used a story mode, I also can understand EA being new to the liscence and not understanding what they wanted or in fact could make yet in the universe. With a solid campaign, I think the sequel could be something really special.
