No, RoF is multiplayer as well. But now it lacks dedicated servers. Those are under development (official news) and should be available in the next months.

Actually RoF needs online connection even for single player session. In the near future this DRM should be drop. Thanks to players complaints.

Of course all I have seen is the demo and even that was a pita to install due to online verification.

By the way what does "offline SP" mean? Single Player? The game is predominatly single player.
Yea, Offline Single Player. I have no problem with connecting to a serval frequently in general. In fact I buy games on STEAM as a first choice. But the necessity to is a big problem for me. Hurricanes and crap like that can cause long internet outages. During Katrina playing Silent Hunter and Dangerous Waters is what kept me sane. Something SHV would appear unable to do. Simply because a bunch of corporate suits want it that way. Screw them, I vote with my wallet. If I decide to buy SHV it will be the only series I buy containing this crap.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out why there's "No Complainning" at the RoF site.

I understand you can't even join unless you've bought the game.

yes, supposedly in the next patch (if the rumors are true). We've been asking for it in the forums there for a while and even though it's not a big deal needing to sign in, its still a nuisance

Wrong, there was/is a lot of complaining about the DRM but developers are listening and learning. As a matter of fact they'll drop the DRM for offline playing. It has been announced unofficially.

Wrong again. Just register with your e-mail and password. Those will be the same you'll use to play.

Now, what about the genious?

And Firewall, the post about the team taking a vacation at Xmas. They are a small team, not Ubi. Some things have to shut down at the holidays. You did however cut off the reply to the server question, which was the servers would NOT go unmonitored.

I am not fan of DRM, feel free to keep filling these boards with complaints, but make the factual.
