Does this game require STEAM in order to play it, like simple campaign mode?

Yes unfortunately, but I believe you can unplug internet and start it up that way. Haven't tried but I did read about it on line.

I have no idea what you guys are talking about. This game does not require a Steam account, at least not the U.S. boxed version which I own.

some how the game is tied to steam so you need to load steam to play it. Sometimes I use steam off line and still play the game. you just will not be able to play with other people on the net if played off line

Well it should be a steam code. So, yes, you will need Internet to play the game through your steam account... If you have one

You should be able to find a serial key online. If you want to play online you have to buy the steam version (enhanced version).

Yes, the game requires Steam activation. The worst part about it is after a certain amount of time, you must go into online mode and sign in to "validate" your account. Never understood that.

At some point in time, you have to get on an internet connection at least once to activate it on steam. Although I don't know if there is a difference from activation to installation, but you should be able to just install it from the disc. Otherwise, I could see it being possible to play offline beyond that point, however. To play offline, just go to your steam folder in your computer and find the launch application. Otherwise, its not the end of the world, go to a friends house and borrow his LAN/Internet for a little bit to get it installed. Hope this helps!

it works just fine via steam. buying the game digitally or "dvd" is up to you.

The version I purchased, did not. You can purchase it through steam, however I liked having the discs and if memory serves, it was less expensive from Amazon. I do have it listed in my steam library and can boot from steam that way.

I believe, once you buy the disc version, its as simple as installing it, along with steam. the pc edition I bought works just fine.

No, there are all of the campaign modes which are against NPC's or you can play against the Computer in random matches.

No. Buy it on Steam. I wish I had. This disc does not run well on windows 7.

you do not need to be connected to steam to play after install. just tried it and was able to play. it will come up with a message saying it can not connect to steam and will give you a button to press "play game" click this and it will launch the game. Happy railing! :-)

Geeze... LOL :) This game was a while back.. To what I remember it did not. However I cannot be sure. But I do not think it does. I know Steam would know for sure.Sorry I could not be of better help.

no you dont need it to play the game but you do need internet connection to download the game because it uses steam to download it
