So I hope you don't want to. Because you aren't going to be able to. Ubisoft have deemed it so that you have to sign into the Ubisoft server in game to even access the premium DLC you have just paid for. If you buy it. You might be buying it for the new weapons to use in campaign offline for example.

Lost your internet connection for some reason? The highly reliable Ubisoft server down for some reason? Taking your console somewhere that you wont have Xbox Live? Then kiss goodbye to accessing your premium DLC.

Just a heads up. Good of them eh.

So? If you don't have online you couldn't get the dlc anyway.

What this is also saying is that when the Ubi servers go down, which is frequent, you won't be able to use them then either.

I still don't see the problem. It's dlc for the online mp component of the game. If the servers go down you can't online anyway.

That's some bs. So if my Internet goes out that means no guerilla dlc maps or guns to use.

Kind of makes me not want the dlc now.

The weapons are usable in the single player campaign as well which can be played offline. Same with the guerrilla maps.

This means that when, not if, the servers go offline, you won't be able to use content you paid for. This is the same as the limited edition content and the unlocks from the GR Network. Other games require you to unlock things online sure, but once they are unlocked they are usually always available. Most games do not function this way which shows short-sidedness and poor coding just like the rest of this product.

If you still don't see the limitations of this than I can't help you.

Except it's not just for online. It's for all of the multi-player/co-op which includes offline system link. And then there are the guns which can be used in offline campaign, whether that be through system link or played solo.

That information is very incorrect.
