No internet, no play game.... I bought it day 1 and tried to connect to their server to activate...Well they didnt plan for the server load, so I could not log on to the steam network all day. So it just would not finish the install.

The discs install about 95% of the game. the rest is downloaded and installed after activation. This blows chunks, I almost took the game back because of this BS! After installation, you dont need internet. But after all the BS, this game ROCKS. No multiplayer really pissed me off too. But single player is still really fun
