Can you imagine if CoD needed a permanent internet connection?

Surely an entertaining bunch you are! Everyday seems to bring the same silly pointless threads. Not saying all of them are, but I think you could all agree that the 1c forums get their fair share of them. I mean c'mon we already know the answer to this question: There will be no constant internet connection required! Simple as that. It has been officially announced.

Some of us (certainly we all know a few of them) need to step away from the computer for awhile and take up a different hobby for awhile.

What it will mean is that there will be a lot of first time buyers for sure.

Why?

Well look at Splinter Cell Conviction and Silent Hunter 5. Both can be bought for less than £10 in Game as they have crippled them with permanent internet connection.

I may just wait a couple-of-months after release and get a huge bargain along with all those purchasers who wander in and think, "well it's only a tenner!"!

That was technique I used on MSFT CFS3 when it was first released. Everyone was anxious to get a copy. What a bomb!

I decided to not buy at first. I bought it at a second hand book store for $8 two weeks after it was released.

Even at $8 it was a worthless.

When you started it up there was this virtual pilot hanging around the garbage cans... That should have told everyone a great experience was at hand. LOL

As I recall MysticPuma you were around doing CFS2 yourself.

Doesn't bother me, my internet is always on anyway.

I played SH5...

I must be the odd one out because I actually enjoyed it...

Once I was able to get it running without CTD all the time, dam VC++ Runtime bug thingy

UBI support was actually helpful...

OMG ... somebody stop me, I said something nice about UBI ... where's my sanity pills?

I sometimes have too much time on my hands.....I have a permanent connection, I'm not worried at-all and will be getting it on Day 1. I look forward to finding out what features are going to be in the game after I have bought it as I don't want the Friday updates to spoil my surprise by letting me know......fortunately after viewing them, that hasn't happened yet!

LOL not even sure they are read by 'officials' anymore anyhow. I've been asking about sound since before christmas and had no response, really frustrating tbh, especailly as all the videos contain music to cover up the sound

i woulb NOT like if CoD would need an internet connection every time as soon you start the game. Because in the time of beeing heavy involved in making an IL2 COOP onlinewar i often build the missions on a additional Laptops/notebooks without having a internet connection.

I guess, i will do missionbuilding on these additional 'PCs' also in CoD (as on the past with the lowest possible settings , looking rather weird )

at least 20% of my time i used IL2 was in the full mission builder . i enjoyed it very much !!
