I heard that UBI supposedly yanked back a bit on the constant connection requirement, but is a connection still required when launching the game every time?

If there still is no "offline" option, then I'm still on the sidelines with SH3 and Steam Games (CA's Total War series).

The game connects to Ubi servers once at initial load to store/access save games, but the 'always on' requirement has been dropped. Most of us disable online save-storage anyway so it's really not all that noticeable at all anymore.
