With the release right around the corner (may 2nd), it seems there is now little hope that this game wont be an online-only service game like so many coop shooters before it. Most likely doomed to an early death due to its online connection requirement. People with inconsistent internet will struggle enjoying this title as well.
It saddens me to see something that people have worked so hard on, be arbitrarily tied to online services as a form of planned obsolescence that will eventually make the game unplayable.
Voting with my wallet on this one. Online-only requirements for singleplayer games is destroying the medium and creating software doomed to be lost forever.
