Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Military members that are deployed are frequent gamers. May carry over their XBox's, Laptops, PS3's, etc to the deployed location (Europe, Middle East, Africa, anywhere really). It's one of the few things left to do that bring some joy from home and give us a chance to escape reality and just have fun. This is the second game now I've found that REQUIRE a constant high-speed internet connection, just to play single player. The first I saw was Assassin's Creed II and now this one, another high-anticipated game. What in the world are these companies thinking? They don't even have servers that can handle the loads of people trying to sign on to the SINGLE PLAYER games, so you may find yourself waiting hours upon hours just to sign in. Then you'll find yourself knocked off when the server slows down too much. [...] for this? As far as the military community (hundreds of thousands of people) are concerned - NONE of us can every play these games while deployed, TDY or just traveling around the country. I can understand companies doing what they can to prevent copyright infringement, but this is TOO FAR. You've alienated an entire corps of people and the hatred for this type of program requirement is growing drastically among the public. It's time to wake up and release patches that will allow single player people to play these games with no internet connection at all. (that's what install ID codes are for inside boxes at install). Wake up Steam and fellow companies that keep this internet requirement insanity.
