The single player campaign in Battlefield games is more like a bonus rather than a reason to buy the game.
And that would be fine, but unfortunately EA and DICE have been setting their own goalposts. Their advertising has been based on "we're better than CoD in every way", and focused heavily on the single-player in early demos.

If they had treated this like BF2 or BFBC1/2, where they have a sorta interesting single player and classic multiplayer, that's one thing. But they went out of their way to promote single player as something that rivals multiplayer, and early reviews have it being boring at best.
