Thanks, Tom. I wsn't planning on subscribing to the PO. Personally, I just don't see the justification for it. I've played all of the C of D games in solo mode. Would multi-player offer some additional elements of fun? Sure, but I never felt cheated in the single player mode. I always felt I was getting the full game experience. From all of the comments I've read and what I observed in the development of CXL, I just think having a truncated solo player option was the wrong choice on MC's part. I was really hoping there's enough playability and variety in the solo game, but I guess I'm on the 'wait and see' list for now.
To my other question about Steam, from anyone who has purchased and downloaded games from them, is it worthwhile?
