Battlefield’s new single-player campaign was actually leaked in a job listing earlier this year. EA was looking to hire a design director who will “orchestrate the mission design, narrative, game mechanics, and systems to create the highest quality experience possible” and “embrace the core tenets of the Battlefield franchise and make sure they are woven through all layers of a masterfully designed single-player campaign.”Would you be interested in playing a new Battlefield campaign from Marcus Lehto?
