Thread: Should have the option to play all modes offline

Yeah it does. Or at least I think it does. If I had my xbox in front of me I could say for sure how to do it and blah blah blah. It just seemed so easy to do it that it seemed irelavent to actualy remember how to do it. Plus I havent played solo whatever in a while other than cam;paign.

You have options just like the PC version.

You can play "single player" which is basically a local server that no one else can join. You can play a "system link" game which is a local server only people on your LAN can join. You can play on a local server which anyone with a live account can join (assuming the lobby isn't set to private/friends-only) or you can play on a dedicated server.

I usually play on a dedicated server to keep myself used to the normal (minimal) lag as I play mostly versus.

The screen doesn't give you a ping time on Xbox btw. You either get three green bars (good connection), two yellow bars (fair connection), or one red bar (bad connection).

Yeah thats what it shows the green bars. I couldnt think of what it was.

It doesn't, and on Xbox you do not have to be connected to the internet to play the game.

thank you all for your answers, I didn't realise that you could play off-line this way, thanks again. Now how do I close a thread....
