However, what's stopping you from just loading those levels up in an SP save?
In the single player campaign it's always the same. The enemies come from the same place. Your goal is always in the same place. It's linear, you're always heading in the same direction. In MP the enemies have different spawn points, your objectices are always in different places, the high value targets spawn in different places. You never know what's going to happen. You never know where that damned Phantom is going to show up. Solo in MP is totally different than solo in SP. I don't understand why it's so hard for so many people to understand that.
MP isn't designed to be solod or around being solo'd. It is not balanced for being solo'd, and will not be balanced around solo play as it is not a solo game mode. This is why it's called Multiplayer.
And like I said above, it's still too hard for some people that aren't gods at video games. Your guns are worthless & your shields are a complete joke. Even on bronze, it's too hard for some people. There's no reason why there can't be an easier mode where your guns actually do damage & your shields don't go down in 2 hits. Maybe you & I would blow right through it but some other people would struggle with it. People that aren't good at video games shouldn't be alienated. What if you get 4 people that suck at video games? They can choose this easier option. What's the harm in that??? Why would it be so terrible?
Why try to make it easier and not try to improve yourself and your gameplay, I'm sorry but if you think you need to be a hardcore no lifer to play this game effectively you are very very wrong. Games like this are played for at least some degree of challenge, if you remove the challenge element then why even bother playing? There are plenty of other genre of games out there that target specfically the type of people you are talking about - why not play those instead of wanting the devs to turn this shooter into something it was never meant to be.
I have no problem with things like narritive mode in the single player, because combat in the single player is secondary in importance to the RPG story. But combat is the only thing there is to the online portion of the game, if you made it any easier then bronze you are essentially asking for a mode where it is impossible to fail and how is that remotely fun.. or even a game anymore?
When you buy a game, you should already know that there is at least some modicum of skill required - that is what seperates gaming from movies, books, and tv. Even board games require skill, that's the point of it. Do you go around complaining that Chess, Igo, monopoly or hungry hungry hippos is to difficult? No you practice, improve yourself and try to do better instead of asking for everything handed to you on a silver plate. If you don't think the game is enjoyable enough to bother practicing then the game simply is not for you and it is time to move on to something else.
