djhmetfan2 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I did not see this mentioned elsewhere. But I guess the 35 people actually playing this game never fell into this problem. Let me paint a picture This game can not be played offline solo. The game will not start offline unless you play split screen. That's right folks. You go spend $59.99 bucks and put the game in and your internet goes down and want to continue your game. Well not gonna happen. Game will not start unless you are logged into EA Origin. I pressed start on second controller and the game would continue. But I did not have a 2nd player in my house. Try playing on Lethal split screen with a 2nd controller going down every 10 seconds. Buyer Beware This a major flaw in this game. We were talking about Always online with Xbox and stuff but Always online looks to be the case with FUSE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berny18 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Are you sure? I played the whole campaign on normal offline, not even the internet cable was connected ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djhmetfan2 Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 It happened to me yesterday, maybe it was a glitch but I couldnt do anything. Did you put the game in online 1st ? Then play offline ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fancyfox Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Are you choosing the solo option in the menu? You can select offline in the menu and it never requires you to log-in to Origin. You just won't have access to the leaderboards. I played my entire normal campaign playthrough offline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M-Easy Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 There's is a option in main menu for offline mode man : close the thread now Yeah, I definitely played offline single player solo without any problems. You should probably delete this thread or have or have it removed. You don't want to confuse people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djhmetfan2 Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) I tried it again yesterday and I had the same issue. Every time i went to solo offline, a message came up Need to log into Origin and when i canceled out message game would not let me start the origin screen kept coming up. If I started on my 2nd controller and i could play. When I logged into PSN i never had an issue with the game. If I had a way to tape my experience to post I would. Anyway go ahead and close the topic Sorry to confuse people it was not my intent to confuse just to inform my issue.

Biggs Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Just to clarify the replies are correct mate, I tried a few times to start the game with this same error and I was rather annoyed but (I feel stupid now lol) there is an actual offline mode option, just after clicking campaign DONT click solo, go down a few and theres offline mode there that lets you start the game, now Im gonna go try the game xD lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poetic_justice_ Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) I could see how this would be confusing. The game logs you into EA Origin before you can even see the main menu. Once you arrive at the main menu, you see the following options. /Solo [EA Origin] /Solo - Friends Can Join /Offline Game [no EA Origin] /Matchmaking From what I understand, the confusion is about /Solo (which is actually an online mode logged into EA Origin whether you like it or not mode) and /Offline Game (which is an offline mode where you are not logged into EA Origin). Frankly, I think it was silly of the designers to put two similar Solo modes in the game, then label the online one requiring an EA Origin login as the true "/Solo". Seems like the offline mode should be the true "Solo." In fairness to Insomniac I am inclined to believe the decision to create two solo modes (one monitored by Origin) was something EA forced into the game. Insomniac has never been anal about monitoring their customers; EA has had issues with customer monitoring and manipulation for quite some time.
