Steam Il2:COD Pre-order now available

[nearmiss]

Ordering from steam..

Ubi said if you have a boxed version, including CE you need internet to initialize the software with steam. If you have boxed version after you initialize your software you can play offline anytime without logon to steam.

So.. they specifically indicate if you have boxed version. I conclude, if you don't have boxed version you cannot play offline without being Online with steam.

In other words, if you have steam version regardless you must be online to play, even if you are playing on your own computer and not online server.

Correct me, if I'm wrong. I was just reading carefully the message given about boxed versions.

If the above is correct, then I definitely will buy only a boxed version of COD.

Internet connections can be fickle, and fail. Not that it would cost me anything financially, if the connection failed.

I just feel, if I have to be online all the time to play whether I'm online server or only on my local PC that is a recipe for trouble.
