With regards to some being dial-up as Tailgunner says, yes as I mentioned and as Wall-dog says this game would not be out today but using future Internet connections (i.e. more always-on users).
Also if someone wants to be "offline" and wanted to completely opt out of any online content, they get the dodgy AI and the scripted comments/missions, everyone else who wants the "enhanced" game chooses an online connection. easy

The new Novalogic game "Joint Operations" hosts 150+ player servers with tanks, helicopters, jeeps etc full of individual people all moving around doing their own thing, bullets flying etc all handled superbly considering!
