Troubled by the Battle.net login screen that appears upon first launching StarCraft II? Does it mean that StarCraft II requires an internet connection? Not so, says Blizzardâs Rob Pardo.
Some of our readers were a bit put off by the suggestion that the single player portion of StarCraft II would require logging into Battle.net, as evidenced by some of the comments in the post following the Battle.net panel at BlizzCon this weekend. The next day we followed up on the issue with Blizzard vice president of game design Rob Pardo, who clarified the single player situation for us.
We covered the features exhaustively in the original post, but perhaps we didnât draw your attention to the button on the above screenshot labeled âPlay As Guest.â That button kicks off the game without connecting, so those of you without internet who couldnât possibly be reading this post should be happy, unless they try to set up a LAN.
