Yes, it has probably been said many times, but why is there such a distinct lack of single player maps and single player support on this website and all over the internet? From what I can see, only 88 single player maps have been submitted on L4Y. I appreciate that single player mapping may be harder than multiplayer mapping, but you have to give everything a go, before you can turn your back on it and say "Nah it'll be too hard."
Out of that measly 88 single player maps on this website, only a handful are excellent. Even a few of these maps are one room with a light in it, and a gun. Someone's first attempt at using RED. Could there be a section for rubbish like this please?
Although I admit falling victim to owning plenty of great single player maps which I haven't had the time to complete, I'm sure with more support on the internet and the 'great' multiplayer mappers giving SP a go, it is possible we could construct a more solid fanbase for the other half of red faction, single player. So I ask you, the red faction community, to step out and give SP mapping a go! |

I don't think comparing MP / SP mapping here Is going to do us any good.. And no you don't have to give everything a go.  But Red-Frog did  |

Hmmm, Wakey, you cannot expect everyone to comply to this... you see, Red Faction is starting to get old now... Everyone seems to be going off to the better games now. But all of us here at L4Y still try our best to strongly support Red Faction as much as possible.
Not everyone want's to make a single player map! Wakey, why don't you try making some SP maps... We like to see what your capable of too. |

I started a few single player missions a while back but never finished them... I probably still have them if someone wants to continue them, or i could always upload them as a "dead release" because ill never finish them...
Should i?  |

Well i didnt really get an ending done... the one which i was most serious about and hence got the most work done on was one i called "Mines" which was the Red Faction story but told from a guard's point of view... kind of like Half-Life: Blue Shift... So far pretty much all i got done was the barracks where you get your weapon and go through target practice. I could be motiviated to finish it sometime in the future but i dont know.
The other Single Player mission which is worth releasing (kind of...) is my old mod: Incursion... Which is basically covert OPs kind of like Navy Seals... Which the first mission is nearly done, but not totally.
Come to think of it, that city that i made for Incursion would make a good DM  I wonder... |

Yea, I've just been talking about that with Assman...
I think me and him are going to finish it... I know i want to...
I remember starting it probably 3-5 months ago because i knew RF was in dire need of a good, well made SP campaign, so i figured id make one. I kind of forgot about it until today i saw this topic.
I lost interest in it due to lack of ideas... I was mapping for it daily for a good week or 2 i think...
I have 3 levels of it nearly complete and ive been pondering restarting it for a while... never had the motifivation.
Yea ok, ive decided while typing this post (all 15 minutes because im talking and chatting too) that i shall restart work on this mod... the mapping community needs it plus ive just realised that i havent released much latley...  |

The Lego singleplayer campain took a half year or so to be done 
I have done this great one, and another much smaller and cheaper singleplayer level.
Singleplayer content is WAY less succesfully.
People play it one or two times and then forget about it. What is the main reason why you play RF? The singleplayer? I don't think so. You can ask this question on every game which has a sinpleplayer and multiplayer.
Usually its the multiplayer and it's new maps and modifications that keeps you playing the game..not the singleplayer at all..
Uhm sorry..I may overstated this a little.
Singleplayer is difficult yes. Only attempt to work on it if you are aiming for something that gives the game a new spark. I have seen some of them, but I think most is trash because the people didn't take time to make it good.
edit.
I was just wondering what the better section for the Lego mod on l4y would be. Singleplayer or Modification
If people search for singleplayer stuff in the singleplayer section they won't find it.. if they search for game modifications and lego would been in singleplayer section they wouldn't find it neither. Crazy, Lego is two in one LOL
edit2.
oh yeah..everyone should be looking forward to RF Grim Reapers Stargate mod
which seems to have singleplayer action.
I've been waiting for it for so long now.
Hey Grim.. if you need something. I'm there. I think |

Ive thought about it, but i dont think there would be enough entries... we had enough trouble getting enough entries for the MP one... |

I don't think there are enough experienced mappers who've had a go at single-player maps. I myself have barely touched the subject (though I have attempted it). I think the main reason there's such a lack of SP maps is that they take much, much more effort than DM or CTF maps. Rather than just weapon placement and geometry to worry about there's enemies, events, triggers, difficulty, story, as well has a variety of other difficulties to overcome. I doubt a single-player contests would get much entries due to the time requirements and effort needed to be put into it. Unless, of course, someone were willing to offer fabulous prizes... |

I found single player less effort personally, Because the players will only be viewing the level one time most likely.. compared to a multiplayer map, can be played up to a million times with a few people, Which contains a great deal of replayability features you have to consider..
And getting enemies, events, triggers, ect to work in multiplayer is a bit harder than in single player.. |

Things can be in 2 sub sections at the same time, a RF staff member just has to flag it to be in both sections. (I don't have the RF section rights so I guess you'll have to ask NCFrank, Hapa Hanu or Beatonator nicely)

Yeah I Think that mod is going to be awesome!!! I have been waiting for ages for it, but I don't mind because I don't want him to rush it or anything. I just want a great mod, and grims SG mod sure is looking great so far! |

Mostert, acually theres a problem with that... They can be in 2 sections, but its treated as 2 seperate files, therefore reviews on one are not shown on the others...
I think someone should add a section for SP/Mods... which would be mods made especially for Single Player maps... |
