Does this game require Peer to Peer type stuff?

I've been reading around and noticed a lot of posts mentioning u must activate UPnP on your router, but I'm wondering if this is related to peer to peer type software at all?

Because if this is true, this reliance on Peer to Peer may be what is stopping me connecting to online games

Is this true?

Well, effectively it IS P2P software.

UPnP is Universal Plug and Play. It allows software to automatically forward the ports it needs on your router to your computer. UPnP isn't really REQUIRED by anything. It's just a system that allows software to configure your router on it's own without any action on your part. If you don't have this enabled you just have to manage your port forwarding yourself. I have this disabled on my router and manage my ports myself.

Peer to peer merely refers to the fact that it's players connecting to other players.
