It's all Kikuchiyo's fault. He made them do it.

Their are better ways to attract people then forcing them to subscribe to a service they might not otherwise use.

Untill I read it different I'm out. No need for shouting, I'm not telling you what to do right?

What are you reading that way? You have to log in once after you purchase the game and activate it. After that you don't have to be online to play it SP.

Hey, it could be worse. When I used to play Dawn of War 2 you had to login to Steam AND Windows Live at the same time. Which is fine except that the Windows Live servers are dreadful, and you couldn't play the single-player campaign unless you could login, only skirmishes. Killed that game for me.

I based my opinion on JG52Uther saying you needed to be online for offline play. Maybe no the most solid source. I'll do a little more research. Mind is made up though. No offline single player, no go. My loss for now for I want this game, nodbody's win.

You only have to register your account, login whilst online once to activate your game, and then start Offline Mode for as long as you want. Forever, potentially.

Dawg don't hate the playah, hate the game yo.

Makes Mickysoft an angle by comparison.

Edit:
This is not clear, but I assume it still needs subscribing to a service.

You have to activate Windows online and sign a EULA. So no different from Steam in that regard.

You do not have to pay any kind of service fee for using Steam. It is free to use.

That quote is not mine,its from an admin at the ubi CoD blog.And he /she said you need a steam account to play.That could mean anything.

Will Steam be required for strictly offline use too?
