starcraft 2 online only?

[andreasaspenberg]

according to that link an internet connection is required.

 

[Tleno]

The campaign and other solo aspects of the game are still playable offline after your initial activation

This.

 

[Sgt. Johnson]

This.

Andreas isn't gonna figure it out anytime soon man, he's either just trolling or honestly cannot grasp that it's been clearly said the game can be played in SP offline, the only stipulation is you must have an internet connection at the time you install the game to activate it. After that you may play SP to your leisure offline.

Just let him bask in his own trollish ignorance. I don't think someone capable of throwing a sentence together is that dumb, so I'd wager that he is indeed attempting to troll. Unfortunately for him, he's not being a very good troll; he just comes off as retarded and annoying rather than a true asshole.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

blizzard clearly states that people are always connected and always on battle.net. that makes it just like command and conquer 4.

 

[The World Is Flat]

LET IT REST. WE HAVEN'T SEEN ANY PROOF TO PROVE OTHERWISE. give us some proof like we have given you, and maybe well listen. but otherwise, just lay OFF.

 

[Tleno]

And stop nagging us with your pointless facts. Its clearly that it won't need conection at all tie, Bllizard are not idiots like EA!

 

[Tyranid]

They see him trollin' they hatin'

Seriously stop feeding him.

 

[Tleno]

Sorry. Maybe we should just... ignore him and maybe unsubscribe this thread if its so pointless?

 

[Tyranid]

A common misconception is that you can actually beat a troll in an argument. However, this is untrue. Trolls are fact and reply proof. This immunity comes from the fact that, contrary to popular belief, Trolls do not exist to take part in fruitful debates. Contrary, there there just to annoy people and bring about chaos and disorder. They do not care for facts or valid points.

The best way to defend against a troll is not to try to prove him wrong, rather just avoid him. Do not pay any attention to him or his points. This will deny the troll the nutrients he gains from negative feelings, causing him to slowly starve.

Or then you can just say you're a girl and his nervous system will instantly shut down.

 

[Hero_Lief]

^ I lol'd.

 

[Tleno]

I'm a girl.

I' not sure if that will work so I'll just unsubscribe this thread...

 

[The-DooM-X]

and this proves that it is able to play offline. additionally i have heard they try to create a LAN-service because the fans want that. i dont know if that will come but i am sure it is playable offline.

there are just a few seconds he talks about offline-modehttp://www.youtube.com/user/hdstarcraft?blend=2&ob=4#p/u/205/kQ1Igg7bevY

 

[Sgt. Johnson]

Why has this thread not been locked or graveyarded yet lol, pretty clear at this point he's trolling.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i saw a faq on blizzards forum that clearly states that people have to go online to play single player.

 

[The World Is Flat]

to start the game, but they can enter offline mode

 

[redmarine]

to start the game, but they can enter offline mode

Don't argue with him. He's a lost cause.

 

[tagg1080]

They need you to be online to stop people from stealing maps.

Duh.


A huge part of star2 is the editor. Blizzard wants to see what we can make. They want this map making/buying system in place to get more people to do high quality stuff. If maps were just floating around, it would mess this idea up.

This anti piracy thing is Bull-Shiiiiite, Iccup already has a fake b.net up, and the client is free to d/l from a multitude of sources.

So yes, they are being jerks about this, don't think that blizzard is the company we all love, WoW has changed them into an ugly, greedy, and overall stupid monster.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

i havent read anything from blizzard but from logical point of view, you will not need to stay online ALL the time to play SP. I am guessing you only need to login at the start of the game, which will require internet connection. that is for blizzard to varify that your copy of SC2 is legit and that you are the legit owner. and then after you play a map, it will reconnect in order to send in statisitics and save your achievements(i am guessing there will be. achievements seems to be the craze now days) and so on. if you cant connect to internet, you can simply play offline but without saving achievements. that is my guess. cos thats what its like on DoW2

AND andreas is a troll

 

[Kwah]

Discussion really isn't going anywhere folks. It is my understanding, and the correct understanding that, like many modern games, an internet connection will be required to install but not to play.
