One thing I originally said, or I think I had said was that I doubt the game could handle more than 4 players on peoples PC's. So they hacked in and managed to get 16 players. In any case the game was designed for single player, and only 4 is a throwback as I said. If the game wasn't to be the best single player experience they could make to begin with then it would be easy to have a full fledged multiplayer mode, but that was not the case. That's the huge factor here... If you wanted full fledged multiplayer then they would've had to made sacrifices for the single player game, and why the h3ll would they do that, when the plan from the get-go was for the best single player game they could make?? BFV was not designed as the best single player game they could make, infact it was designed specifically for multiplayer, so that point is mute. There is no law that one must not make a good multiplayer if they do a good single player, and there is no law that if someone makes a single player game it must be multiplayer as well... Some games are designed from the beginning for both single player and multi, CoD being one of them. That also means the game could've been better, atleast looked alot better if it was designed just for single player. As for those games being the massive minority, games like CoD, well they are... Look at all the games released in the past year, and you will see that there's a load of single player only titles, a small amount of great single player+small multiplayer games, an even smaller amount of full fledged single+multi games, and a smaller amount of multi only games. It's funny how you bring the rocket thing into this, the guy's worked on game engines for what 15 years? give or take some years, and because he's not successful launching a rocket (how many have been, outside National Governments?) so he's full of excuses...
I must reiterate the fact that if they were going to make a full fledged mp, the single player game would've had to been sacrificed... And just because ID is the type of company that likes to make either a 1)primary single player title, or 2)primary multiplayer title, doesn't mean they're lazy or whatever you like to say, excuseful, etc. Most game companies follow the same philosophy, primarily single or primarily multiplayer. Only in the last year or two has there begun to have a conversion of the two (mp online).
