Welp, 343 blew it. This -blam!- game is simply atrocious. So many things wrong with it that I hardly see it fit to be called a beta. Along with that, Specilization codes are a cluster -blam!- of fail and are even worse than bungie's level cap. Why the hell would they do all this? General 343 hate itt.

Ignore my gamertag. It's actually Dragonzzilla.

I would generally expect you would need access to a Gold Membership to get online content... I already pay Gold for online multiplayer across several games; I might as well get Spartan Ops as well. The cutscenes alone are worth the wait.

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.

  • 12.05.2012 5:15 PM PDT

Yes, I AM just that awesome.

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.

Yeah, they have been saying it would require gold since they announced it.

Because this is totally 343's decision.

Yes, yes it is. They developed the game. Pricing/Fanbase guidance is where the Publishers come in.

Well, given that the blunder of the last century was failing Hitler in art school, I guess we will have to wait and see how many genocidal dictators come out of being forced to pay for Xbox gold in order to play Spartan Ops.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

We've known since they announced Spartan Ops that we'd need Gold, right?

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.

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.

I generally do feel entitled to the features of games when I pay for them.

spartan ops can be played by yourself, why force an online connection?

In all honesty though I sold Halo 4, don't get me wrong I loved matchmaking. It was just... not what I liked. Halo 3's theater and forge was the best, and spartan ops was just campaign, I was hoping more objectives besides press buttons like protecting the generator and such or force a survival aspect to it like ODST firefight but...it wasn't. Once I finished campaign that was pretty much it for me.

And this basically is pricing, you have to pay for MS's online service to play it.

derp

Who said I wanted to play it online? I can't play it At all. Even when connected to xbox live silver.
