    Splinter Cell Double Agent Help

    Does Splinter Cell DA require internet access to run the game? For me if I do not give it internet access it will not load and I will be forced to reboot the computer. I can't even kill/end the process as it just gets stuck. So far I completely hate the Unreal system.
