Call of Duty: Ghosts won’t make use of always-online option

4.6
Infinity Ward has said the ability to use the always online option on next-gen consoles isn’t something the firm has explored just yet.

Speaking with Eurogamer during a Call of Duty: Ghosts demo, producer Mark Rubin said while it is something the firm may look into in the future, the team is focused on fun first, and not tech.

“It’s not really something we would explore just yet,” he said. “I’ll be the first to admit, we’re not the tech chasers. We’ve never been the most hi-tech, super graphics check-box list guys. We try to make fun first. Then if tech helps make fun better then great. If not then we don’t really need it.

“There’s interesting stuff out there. I’m totally engaged as a developer in what we could possibly do. But we’re going to take it safe and make sure it’s actually benefiting the game first before we just go check that box.”

For now, though, it’s not in the card for Ghosts – but a Wii U version is: a version Rubin said to “stay tuned” on.

Call of Duty: Ghosts is out in November and will release on PC, PS3, PS4, Wii U, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

Does anyone actually use Call of Duty without online? Single player is over within 8 hours but zombies is good... but people who play zombies would have internet anyway because of DLC.

Really not sure how they would take advantage of this for modes such as zombies or spec-ops or even the single player campaign

I'm glad it's coming to Wii U, that will raise sales. :)

Yin So, is this meaning that we can be offline and play the campaign? Or does this mean that they aren't integrating something that needs the internet, like Forza's new "AI" tech? If it's where we can play campaign offline, does that mean all the publishers have the option to not include the always online required? I just think they aren't integrating anything that requires it. Still bothers me you need to have an internet connection at least an hour everyday.


Yes. You will have the ability to play the single player campaign offline. No Online Required!
