It is online only, I wish this game just had a four player split screen mode. Matter of fact, all MMO's should have optional lan or split screen modes.

It does - you can choose to play the game persistently online in the menu and other players will pop into the map. Get ready for even longer load times though and in the end it still eats your save game. There definitely is on offline single player mode because I went in and changed the settings.

No, you do not need to be online. As far as I can tell there's no online element. The only thing going online will do for you is update the game with any bug patches or fixes. It's not necessary to play.

If you want the updates then you have to hook it in. But there really isn't updates at this point. There is one update as soon as you play to play online, I am pretty sure you need to be online. But playing online is5 really that different then offline, the only difference is obviously more players, but the enemies get stronger.

You can download the game via steam, and if i remember correctly you can play offline but you will have to sign in to steam, please don't take my word for this I'm not 100% sure.

Yes it will work fine in offline mode after you download it, I've played on long car rides and it works fine.

I was able to run and play the game with no online connection. Most of the game is played as a single player.

You can play offline in single player compaign. Multiplayer mode can only be played online.

No. At least, not for the campaign (story mode), which can be played locally by two persons. Matchmaking is the only part of the game where Xbox Live Gold is highly advisable. I'd recommend Internet connection with a base Live account (no gold) if you want to keep track of your records and achievements.

Yes, you can play without thw internet, but only the story mode.You don't get a disc. You download the complete game from steam, which installs automatically, hence, no disc is.needed.

A day one update is rumored but I am not sure what it does. Aside from that the game is single play only so internet should not be required for anything sans leader boards or something like that.

Works great off line, single player. Never had a glitch or failure, just boredom.

Yes, once you already downloaded it, the game as well as your saves, are saved onto your hard drive. So you can definitely play it offline.
