Battlefield 2142 - Singleplayer mode

[Beiramar]

Hello,

I'd like to ask a couple of things: Does BF-2142 requires internet connection even to play the singleplayer mode?
And about the locked content: It is unlocked as I (my soldier) get promoted to higher ranks, right? But can I get theese promotions by playing offline (singleplayer)?

I'm asking this because I bought a legal copy of the game, get it installed on my PC, but was unable to play. I don't have any internet connection at home (yet), but the game requires the creation of an account at EA's servers prior to anything else.
I had to go to my girlfried's home (she has a dial-up connection) in order to actually play it.
And I'm concerned about this rank promotion matter because even when I get internet access at home, it will be dial-up. In other words: no multiplayer.

Regards

You can play offline so long as you've logged onto the server at least once on the computer.

However you have to be online for promotions or weapon unlocks regardless of whether your playing single player or not.

Thank's for the quick reply, Fraya.

So let's see if I got it right:
Can I get the promotions by playing singleplayer, but it only can be possible if I stay connected to the EA's servers during the play, right? So can my soldier's stats stay up to date in EA's records?
Or can I get theese promotions only in multiplayer?

Regards.

Unlocks and the like are only awarded in MP play.

Are you really? where the worlds coming to god. Next thing they introduce 'checkpoints' binding you to specific locations where you can use the content.

I'm a newby with bf2142 but i still don't understand whether i need an internet connection every time i go on the game singleplayer or whether i only need to access the internet once, to register.

hey i seen that starforce said u can kill bots and pick up there stuff but it not letting me wat do i do?

@jewe
Yes as far as I am aware you should be able to pick up the dead bots kit in single player mode.
Go into your 'controls' settings and check which button is configured for 'Pick up Kit'. When you want to pick up a new kit stand over the kit with the cross hair on the kit, then press whatever button you have configured to pick up the kit.
As I dont play BF2142 I am presuming it works the same way as BF2, so the above should work.

And for those wanting to know if this game can be played in Single Player mode, yes it can but you have to connect to the net at least once. Once you have connected once, then you dont have to reconnect everytime you want to play single player.
