Product-Reviews writes: Some interesting information has just turned up in relation to Call of Duty Ghosts on the Xbox One. As you may know, one user on Twitter has received his Xbox One early, only to receive a console ban from Microsoft in return.
While this ban is a ‘temporary’ one, the user in question has confirmed though that he cannot play Call of Duty Ghosts offline, as according to him the game REQUIRES an internet connection to play. Just to note an important point in all of this, the user MoonlightSwami has already installed the Xbox One ‘Day 1 patch’ which is thought to remove all previous DRM restrictions that Microsoft initially had in place.
Updated with new pictures showing PS4 box which reads: 'Offline play enabled on PS4'. This message isn't available on the Xbox One box.
That's very weird, Microsoft just can't catch a break. If you're banned or not, or you don't have Xbox Live, you should be still able to play your games offline.
I'm sure this is not going to be the only mention of a game having this issue! Microsoft has always stated that the Xbox1 was built with a constant internet in mind. What good is having 300,000 servers if you never use them? Sure offline shouldn't be affected, but when you have a system built upon the notion that it is meant to be online constantly; No it's not as easy as flipping a switch.
LOL!
