I've got a question. Has anyone packet sniffed the outgoing packets while playing the SP Demo or the ISO release yet? If it sends info back to EA or whatever I'd like to see the data its sending back even if it is not plain text form. If it sends the IP, I assume it sends the IP of the machine in question. But that will send an internal IP for all those playing behind a Cable/DSL router or most internal masquarading routers that is.

I question the validity of this data anyway. They only care about illegal keys...they can just ban a key from playing online. Most people who download the ISO aren't going to shell out any money to buy the game...they will just stop playing it. If they want people to purchase this game to play online then they must use a key based system.....this isn't even worth writing... I'm going to play the MP demo now.
