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.

Thats a bit of a jump/assumption. Not saying its wrong but I didnt read anything in that quote to say steam was not the same deal, as all steam games can be played offline after initial dl.

Also they need to check the 500s for compatibility ASAP, nvidia has ceased manufacturing 400s since months ago so all that is left are the cards already stocked (new stock will only be 500s).

Good news indeed, thats 30 million accounts that will have that information shown to them the next time they log in, even if just 5% decided to pick it up thats 1.5 million potential sales which should more than cover the naysayers living under their tin foil hats that won't buy because of Steam.
