...Requires a gold membership? It's quite absurd.

Still better than you.

.....most of you, at least.

It's annoying. I could understand if you had to download all the missions, but some are already on the disc. But basically its because they put it inside of Infinity, which requires gold.

Check out my deviantART page

Some things I like:
Video Games
Anime
Art

Microsoft wants to encourage people to pay for gold xbox live. That's the only explanation I could come up with.

That does sound like it would be annoying though :(

because most people who don't have a gold membership aren't connected to the internet, and how would you give new weekly missions to those who aren't connected to the internet?

Ignore my gamertag. It's actually Dragonzzilla.

-blam!-, I don't know. Maybe because you need a connection to the internet to download something new?

Pretty sure you can still be connected to the internet as a silver member.
You just don't get any features.
At all.

I am the God Emprah of Mankind.

Deal with it.

Because if it didn't, you would be able to go offline and access every mission before the week of its release.

That actually makes sense. They consider Spartan Ops a "premium" feature I suppose because it's episodic, but yeah, I was really baffled when I couldn't play it. Not even on a silver membership, which is really 100% not logical and absurd.

You would've thought they'd make at least the first episode available to all or something.

Because you are able to utilise matchmaking with Spartan Ops.

I make a living of selling my body, and I don't mean sex.

Like FF and campaign in Reach.

But guess what, you could still play them offline.
