Well, yes. There was a topic discussed about this plan before.

The possibility of an off-line mode has been considered from day one. I’m periodically coming to back to it, but the benefits never outweigh the problems. Some random thoughts on this:

• Most of the MMO aspect of CIU is kept on the servers, and client can’t even run a local simulation. So any potential off-line mode would be constrained to the arcade (mission) portion only.
• Due to cheating concerns, you would not be allowed to merge your progress with your career even if you later came on-line.
• Since the game is free-to-play, there is no business incentive to do this because there would be nothing to gain (and, in fact, a lot to lose from an advertisement/IAP revenue standpoint). It could of course be tied into CHL, except you see how popular that is in the poll.
• The technical work required to get this working would be about half of creating a brand new episode, and I’d much rather do the latter if it ever came to that (again, see above point).

It’s still an open issue, however
