After getting a chance to touch Southpeak's FPS gone RTS gone FPSRTS Raven Squad: Operation Hidden Dagger during E3 (that title, wowzaz), we were informed that the game would have absolutely no Xbox Live support whatsoever.

Microsoft strives to enforce their "must be XBL capable" mantra, though it's not necessarily set in stone. While it's not required, ALL games have "Live Presence" which really only means "you can only really just see me when I'm playing online, and maybe a leaderboard..." But you are online enough that you can still access your friends list. Multiplayer != Live.
-- Xbox 1 games do not have this (outside the games with built-in net code, like Halo 2)

Wrong again Dustin. The metaphorical kiss of death is naming your game Raven Squad: Operation Hidden Dagger.

Isn't SouthPeak the same people that published Two Worlds?
