**Is campaign here?**
NO
**Do I need a good connection to play this game?**
- If you are planning to play by yourself, no. You can perfectly play with bots and mess around with the games engine however you feel.
- However, if you do plan to play with your friends or the public, yes. You will need a good internet connection: usually ranging at 30mbs download for client, and for the host at least 50mbs< upload for multiplayer. 65mbs< upload for hosting a game of Warzone Verdansk. And 40mbs download for the client connecting to Warzone Verdansk.
```
Reason being for a higher requirements is because you’re connecting to a dedicated server that maybe located within either a single band data center, someone’s house, or some trailer park in Ohio. You’re not connecting to a cluster of servers like how Activision had it setup, its only connecting to one direct location.
