Battlefield 3 had a multiplayer storyline integrated with SP. Remember the mission in Paris where you try to stop the nuke detonation but fail? They wanted to stop it because it would seem Russia did nothing and was allied with the terrorists. They tried but failed to disarm the nuke. Even when Blackburn disarms the nuke in NYC, France blames Russia and Russia has war declared on it by the US which is why the US and RU fight in multiplayer and not the PLR.
