I think you nailed that one. I could give a crap about this, but why would they release this on and offline and have issues then have more ppl complaining about how it doesn't work and have to wait for a future patch to fix the problems. Push this out online and correct any issues before dropping it to offline is a smart move on their part.
And yes, I am an offline player, so I'm not on either side of the fence on this one. As I said, I don't really care about the mode, just making a point heh.
