Subject: Gold Family Plan Out Of Luck?

I'm unable to connect to any multiplayer server of any kind for Halo 2 Vista. It appears it's because of a glitch with my XBox Live Gold Family Plan. I'm sure this will never be patched so has anyone found a workaround for this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You don't require Gold to play Vista...

OP, this thread should be in the Halo 1 and 2 for PC forum.

I know I don't need gold, that isn't the problem. The problem IS my Gold Family Account. Sorry for posting in the wrong area, I guess I'll just forget about it.

For the sake of answering your question OP...Gold Family plan doesn't work for GFWL games as far as I know. At least not with Halo 2 Vista.

@Wilis_kid: Yeah, that's what I was afraid of. Thanks for taking the time out to actually be helpful.

Not with the Gold family plan. It doesn't work due to how the system is run as far as I know. You need either a Gold account (not family plan) or regular Silver (not family plan) to use GFWL games if memory serves.

But you are correct, you do not need Gold to play online on PC. But the question here is about the family plan which is different.

Halo 3 is my favorite game of all time, period. That's multiplayer, single player, co-op campaign, everything. I -blam!- love halo 3 and I include ODST coz it has Halo 3 in the title =)

Well that sucks. They should fix that.
