Everyone knows that the single player campaigns of shooters tend to be on the shorter side. Theres only so much story you can tell within the limited framework of the FPS genre, and as industry standards continue to place more focus on multiplayer, the campaigns of shooters continue to get shorter and shorter. This fact makes id Software's estimation that Doom will feature a 13+ hour long single player campaign so refreshing. For a FPS, this is a fairly substantial campaign, and implies that as much attention is being given to the single player as multiplayer. It also suggests that there could be a decent story being told amidst all the shooting which, while not needed, would certainly be appreciated. Its just encouraging to hear that a AAA shooter isnt shortchanging the single player mode in the same way others are currently doing, and thus raises confidence that Doom will deliver the goods. Looking forward to the new Doom? Let us know in the comments!
