I don't think so. If the server is down, then the game would be unplayable, unless ubi decided to change the structure of the game (which i really doubt).

That aside, I don't think the servers will die anytime soon. Maybe another 6 years...

Great sale but needs offline mode.

Seen many youtube videos asking for offline mode and Steam topics asking for same.

Reading a book with friends is not fun.

Online games are fine but shouldnt be required if possible. ty

Without offline support it's just a rental until the servers go down, not a purchase.

DO NOT SUPPORT always online DRM in games, unless you treat games like toilet paper - as in disposable.

The always online crapware is the only reason why I never purchased this game.

Wildlands is not online only and will function without multiplayer servers like fc3.

Thanks for the tip!

Me = wants Breakpoint
Me Also = wants a game that's supported offline because I play solo mostly anyway
Me Unrelated 2 Cents = thinks Clancy games have the best epic game soundtracks
Me IRL = gonna go with Wildlands as Breakpoint unfortunately more focused on being online strictly for coop imo :(

You can still play Breakpoint solo with 3 AI teammates to help you, the only major issue is the fact that if you have an unstable connection or no connection at all, you might not be able to play. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, if and when they shut the servers down (only a matter of time for anything that is online only with no offline support), you can't play it again, ever. We're merely renting the game as Strelok said in his post. That is the core issue that will likely never get addressed. If they do, awesome, maybe they'll surprise us, but as of now, they could shut down the servers tomorrow and there is nothing we can do except beg and cry about it.

I suppose the game server won't shut down anytime soon.
I bought this game for 10$ so it won't bother me much if the server shuts down.
I had more than enough fun with it, both solo and co-op modes.

Ubi being Ubi, and you know what they say about this Corpos.

"You'll Own Nothing and Be Happy" - some random WEF schmuck

[Flippy]

What i dont get is why if the online only gang is so happy being online why they have to force everyone else to be online.

Cmon Ubi just want to play a sci fi video game man.

The idea behind Ghost Recon (old and new) is that you have a group of operatives, working in coordination with each other.

That was true for the first games and NPCs only titles and that is true for Wildlands (Online Coop) and Breakpoint (Online Coop, PvP).

Technology allows for Ghost Recon fans to play together. In coop. And that needs online/network support. Players wanted it.

Wildlands was still playable offline, but Breakpoint was designed from the ground up to be even more like an MMORPG. The 'always online' feature follows the idea of players dropping in or out of your game, seamlessly.

Players being "online" is where the 'money' is for publishers.

People playing their games 'offline' does not allow them to:

A) track you (know what you do, what you like to do, how long you play, marketing, etc)
B) advertise to you, advertise to their partners
C) 'sticky' you, to the game ('new daily quests', etc, etc)

I too am a "Single Player only" lone wolf. I never play 'online' with - or against - other people. But I do understand the desire for AAA titles and publishers to prolong the return to their investment. These games (Breakpoint) cost easily over 100 millions in production.

The days of just selling a box and that's that are long gone. "Always online" - even for single player games, is going to be a thing to stay, if you like AAA titles.

Having said that, I would not worry about Breakpoint. The server integration IS connected to the server knowing where the (solo) player is, but that can be coded out.

The servers will still work for SIngle player just no COOP. Again ever UBI game I have still work even if they no longer support COOP!

Stop spreading ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mate. If you are offline you cannot play breakpoint, period.
People asked ubisoft to implement offline mode for years, even before release. It's never happening. This is a rent-a-game.

Thanks i was thinking about trying it then refunding if it had to be online all the time, its good to know for sure.
