i was talking about johnson since this is what the thread was about -_-.
You do not need live to get the maps cause they come on the multiplayer disk that comes with odst

Johnson will require a code, but don't just take your HDD over to his house.

All DLC content for every game comes with two sets of authorization.
One set lets you use the DLC offline, the other set lets you use DLC online.

The online authorization is tied to your Gamertag. So no matter where you take that Gamertag, you will have the DLC available.

The offline authorization is tied to the XBOX the DLC is downloaded onto. NOT THE HDD!!!
This allows any player on that XBOX to play the DLC.
So if you download Johnson to your HDD while it is in your friend's Xbox, you will not be able to play as Johnson.

What you need to do is bring your entire Xbox 360 to your friends house. Then download Johnson.
If you want to be nice. Then download Johnson using your friends Xbox Live Gamertag.
This will give him the online authorization, but give you the offline. Allowing you to play as Johnson whenver you please. And letting your friend play as Johnson when he is online.

(I do this with my friends Xbox. He has the offline authorizations and I have the online. Saving us over $200 in DLC costs.)


As for the maps. They are hard coded into the 2nd disc. Requiring no Xbox Live what so ever.

How do you get a silver account?

  • 08.10.2009 8:21 PM PDT

Sign up for Xbox Live and when it asks you what type of account you want choose the "Silver Account" option.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

You need to connect your xbox to the internet. There, you will input your code into the market place, and the download will start. After that, no live required.
