There's no point arguing or speculating since nobody know for sure. Maybe they only use the "always online" DRM for their A++ titles for a month or so, then patch it out. Maybe a second string title like COD won't have it to begin with. We're just going to have to wait for the official press release to know.

Honestly, I don't know what the executives over at Ubisoft love more. Intrusive DRM or denying the holocaust.
