Do you absolutley HAVE to use a router when you play DD online? Because I dont have one, but thats really the only thing barring me from playing online.
A future upgrade to the software is the ability to just straight hook it to your cable/dsl modem. I too need to get a router also since now there are 2 reasons to have one. (MK: DD and another computer besides mine in the house)
Well, I got my first taste of Warp Pipe. And now I can't wait to play people around my area or so. First person was at Penn. State. Connection was pretty bad, but it was stable and playable. But it was the longest 2 minutes of my life.
