Does this game have to be played only when installed previous versions?or buy and play just right away with internet?

You buy it first. Then it unlocks as a purchased game in a manager so to speak called steam. (Steam is free to download by the way.) Once the game unlocks, you can find your purchase in steam, the game downloads to your mac or PC and you can play. Make sure you've got a gaming control for you computer....I tried using the keyboard and it was a nightmare.

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

It takes 10-20 minutes to install you don't need an internet connection however you do need it to download and install the updates. Obviously the game won't be the same with the updates I recommend updating as it has several improvements to the game and adds more content (Cars, Guns, etc)

some how the game is tied to steam so you need to load steam to play it. Sometimes I use steam off line and still play the game. you just will not be able to play with other people on the net if played off line

It needs the internet to download and install the initial update that allows offline functionality, but after that, it doesn't require an internet connection. I tried searching, but found nothing to suggest that any consoles are yet shipping with this update already pre-installed.

Not sure at all, the game functions and plays normally. Likely a description of what one may do with it, add it to your collection/stockpile

no you dont need it to play the game but you do need internet connection to download the game because it uses steam to download it

Sort of, it's a disk and it'll install the base game (you'll need to have a steam account and be connected to the internet to have the game added to your account) but you'll need to download updates as well. I hope this was helpful!

Hello, Internet connection is required because DLC (Downloadable content) is on the disk. DLC may enhance the game and therefore these features wouldn't be available if there wasn't an internet connection. I hope this helps. Regards, Carolyn Number One Discount Store

Yes it does require an internet connection and the Steam application installed to be able to play the game, even straight out of the box with the CD key. I hope this answer helps you, I did not know that before purchasing and I am unable to play because I do not have an internet connection where I am at this time. Once you are able to get online and activate it with Steam though, apparently you have to set STEAM to offline play (while being online) then afterwards, internet is not required - just activation.

The game is a disk. If you play the story mode only then you don't need the internet access. If you want to play online with other players( very cool) the you need internet access.

Yes, it only need to download the game itself and you can play whenever you want.

Thanks. I assume that if you can download the update to a computer at all you should be able to transfer it to the player. When I originally bought my ps3 you couldn't download the updates without an internet connection.(I think it's possible now, though) I was saved by its wireless feature. I just do not want to run into the same problem in a different place with a different player. Thanks again.

I'm sorry to bring the bad news but yes, playing offline mode is single player only. The only way to play together would be to play online with another system and game :(

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.

You need the original game, unfortunately. Sorry for my late response, this one got lost in the mail.

Did you buy a physical "DVD" game or did you by a download game? I have the physical DVD game and I do not need to use the disc (after initial installation) to play the game. I purchased it this way intentionally because some of the online downloaded games have to be run through an online server like Steam and there fore can only be played while you are on line (WIFI connected) and I use my laptop while traveling and seldom have a WIFI connection. Since you don't have an internal DVD player your options would be to buy an external USB player (they can be very inexpensive, from 19.99 up) to download a physical DVD of the game or buy an on line downloadable version.
