Can you imagine if CoD needed a permanent internet connection? - Page 2

SH3 with mods has yet to be beaten or even improved upon, both successors didn't come close and the permanent connection wasn't an issue (Assassins Creed 2 required it also but that did quite well) due the fact that I never turn off my router (my XBOX360 nut of a son would probably hire a hitman if I ever turned it off)

Well one reson i never even looked at the game was because of permanent connection ,so it got a foot in the door

It has been confirmed that CoD will NOT require permanent internet connection... So?

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!"!

Good idea we'll all save money and never have to buy another addon to the IL-2 series , as we will have effectively put Maddox games out of business.

Do you mean I'll have to be connected to that scary evil thing called the "internet".

oh the horror.

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.

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?
