     =====Single Player Campaign===== =====Single Player Campaign=====
    -...+**WipEout 2048's** **Single Player Campaign** follows a branching node structure, where completing an event unlocks the ability to play all events next to it.  
     +Each event features two objectives, a **Pass** and **Elite Pass**. There is a main line of events for each season, finishing with the season finale event, and various branches attached to that main line, completing those awards various extras such as specific ships or PSN® Trophies.  
     + 
     +The campaign consists of **Single Races**, **Time Trials**, **Zone** events and **Combat** events. Some events have special conditions like a limited weapon pool, modified lap count or a specific objective like destroying your opponent's ship. 
     + 
     +As you progress through the campaign your **Player Rank** increases, unlocking new ships and special events, those special events show up separately from the main node structure and are hidden until revealed using the PlayStation® Vita's rear touch-pad. 
     + 
     +Lastly, progressing through the campaign gradually unlocks the ability to play **Speed Lap** on each track, on each speed class.

     =====Online Campaign===== =====Online Campaign=====
    -...+**WipEout 2048's** **Online Campaign** works similarly to the **Single Player Campaign** in that you have a set of events with each event having a **Pass** and **Elite Pass** objective. However, the **Online Campaign** forgoes branches, instead having 20 continuous **Levels** consisting of various amounts of events, beating an event or failing the same event 3 times unlocks the next event in line. 
     + 
     +The objectives for each event differ, being various combinations of the following: 
     +  * Finish an event; 
     +  * Don't finish last; 
     +  * Finish in the top half; 
     +  * Beat a specific opponent; 
     +  * Hit any opponent with a weapon; 
     +  * Hit any X opponents with weapons; 
     +  * Hit a specific opponent with a weapon; 
     +  * Hit X specific opponents with weapons; 
     + 
     +Completing all 20 **Levels** of the **Online Campaign** unlocks the alternative liveries for each ship in the game.
      
     +**The Online Campaign** consists entirely of **Single Race** and **Combat** events, with players being allowed to vote between the two using configurations chosen by the game after each race.

     +**WipEout 2048** features a **Community Tab**, where you can view activities posted by your PSN® Friends and see what they are currently up to. 
     + 
     +The left side of the **Community Tab** shows activities from friends that performed one or more of the following actions: 
     +  * Beat your **Personal Best** record on a **Leaderboard**; 
     +  * Reached **Player Rank** 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50; 
     +  * Beat a PSN® Trophy awarding event in the **Single Player Campaign**; 
     +  * Beat one of the **Season Finale** events of the **Single Player Campaign**; 
     +  * Beat a **Multiplayer Level** in the **Online Campaign**; 
     + 
     +Clicking on some of these activities will bring you directly to the event in question, allowing you to immediately jump into a race to improve or take back your record. 
     + 
     +The right side of the **Community Tab** shows which of your friends are currently online, they don't have to be playing **WipEout 2048** to show up here, but if they are the game will also show their **Player Rank** and what event they're currently playing, be it single player or multiplayer. 
     + 
     +Upon reaching the **Main Menu**, the game will display a notification for every activity posted by your friends since you last played the game, they will also be highlighted on the **Community Tab** until it automatically refreshes. 
     + 
     +---- 
     +====Ghosts==== 
     +When playing **Speed Lap** mode the game can display a replay of a record's movements throughout the lap, which is called a **Ghost**.  
     + 
     +By default **WipEout 2048** will display a **Ghost** of your **Personal Best** time set on that track with the current **Speed Class**, if available, however, you can choose to instead load a **Friend Ghost** or a **Global Ghost** to compete against, or choose to have **No Ghost** at all. 
     + 
     +When choosing a **Friend** or **Global** **Ghost** the game will attempt to download the **Ghost** of the record ahead of you on that respective **Leaderboard**.
