Well, I've been economical with the truth.

How else do you aquire the online content, without being online *gasp*

You can't download DLC without Gold if I know correctly. (and the episodes count as DLC)

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

Okay, these threads are starting to piss me off.

Spartans would not work if it wasn't for xbox live exclusively! The main idea for Spartan Ops was to have a new adventure every week, you get to see the spartan you made fight baddies in new arcs that change weekly. Now how in the world would you get new missions without being connected to xbox live?. It would be impossible to release new content to people who are not connected to the internet ie. most people who do not have xbox live accounts.

Now lets say for some idiotic reason they made it standard. It would be overwhelming. There are missions within episodes WITHIN CHAPTERS. It's crazy to think about exactly how many missions we're going to have in Spartan Ops, and it would overwhelm people if they just had all from the very beginning.
People, this isn't very hard to understand why they made this descision, Spartan Ops needs to be Xbox live exclusive.

Lrn2Read. I have SILVER AND IT STILL DOES NOT LET ME PLAY IT. I am connected to live as we speak.

I think you should learn to understand how Xbox live silver works first. Once you run out of Gold, you are demoted to silver, and in doing so you get thrown in the blindside of Microsoft. You will not get free game content or anything like it. Spartan Ops included. If you really want to play it so bad, get off your butt, get a job and get some gold membership cards. a 3 month card costs $25 for three months THAT'S LESS THAN 3 CENTS A DAY

I think we should rebel instead and get free online service just like PSN and Steam. Also, we get dedicated servers with the free online services.

Alright well I've been missinformed, but regardless, who in this day and age doesn't have live, who considers themself a regular Xbox player. Hell it's only an $80 bill a year. Not much at all.

New episodes are released via Xbox Live. How else would you get the episodes?

Sometimes I am tempted to quit gaming. I can no longer play without seeing ponyphags, horrendously bad teammates and mexicans.

Gaming community, I want you to know that you suck.

tfw I don't have to rage about H4 because I never bought it.

OT: Why do you not already have Gold?

OH! MY! GOD! How can this be? Spartan Ops is online, and you need Xbox Live Gold to play online? I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE CONNECTION! SOMEONE, PLEASE DRAW ME A FLOWCHART EXPLAINING THIS!

Without The Flood, I wouldn't know what an opinion is.

What's so hard to understand? You need Xbox Live Gold to play online. Spartan Ops is played online. This really isn't difficult.

>TFW You don't own an xbox anymore, therefore you can't play halo 4 but still read halo 4 threads and laugh at those who were dumb enough to buy it and are now complaining that H4 is not H3.5

It's a good feel.

You would be surprised. No not just little kids, adults even with jobs. They don't get the thrill knowing that a different console offering them better online capabilities and better exclusives is free to play.

I think a more stupid idea is having to be connected to LIVE to play it. And every game. The only exception I can see to that is if it's matchmaking.


Well seeing as how 343 updates it via XBL, it makes sense that you would need it to play it.

I really hope he does, hell I only bought Live again for Halo 4, but most adults who only play the Xbox will obviously buy Live. Lets not turn this into a console war please.

Haters gonna hate, whiners gonna whine. The fact that these people feel compelled to make a hate thread every day just proves that they've got a gargantuanly stupid bias against the game. People will -blam!- about features no matter how stupid the reasons are, no matter what evidence is brought to bear on them.

It's overly entitled fanboys who think a game is the be all end all, drama queens who don't know the definition of "compromising" and "middle ground." All they know are the extremes. I swear they act like Halo 4 killed their family sometimes. It's a -blam!- ing embarassment to the community.

Well, I'm not laughing at everyone, you enjoy the game, fine it's cool, I'm simply laughing at the ones who were expecting H3.5 AFTER watching all gameplay videos and reading all articles describing how Halo 4 would be different from the main trilogy.

Still, I would love to play that single player, the main slogan may be pants on head retarded, but I'm still curious on how things develop under the hood in terms of the lore.

I gotta give it to 343 on the terminals, those were actually worth watching.

I enjoy immensely how once game features exist, people feel entitled to them, but if they didn't exist, no one would ask for it.

Yes, I feel entitled to it because it's stated on the box. Nowhere does it state that I need gold to play said episodes.

Read this, right where it says Xbox Live System Requirements in bold, and be quiet.

The game is good.

If you're not on the Internet in some way, and it's 2012 and onward... just... just stop.

Take that.
