If they have an offline mode, I will have no issues with it and I will probably purchase it. (just keeping in mind that is speculation, and they haven't said anything yet) I obviously don't care about having to be connected to the internet in order to play online with people. That would be ridiculous. Since I will only play hardcore mode online, (or regular with friends), I don't have to worry about micro-transactions.
That's all I am saying, people. Hasney speaking some sense in here instead of getting bent out of shape just because I think it's bullshit that they included certain "features".
