Halo 5's Forge mode is always-online

Do I really need to tell you all the ramifications of it being always-online? With all the people threatening to take down XBL on Christmas, I guess we all will find out next week.

No surprise there.

I miss the days when games had real offline functionality

The xbox one needs to be signed in online, and you need to be online just to start Halo 5, unfortunately this is the way it is, but it is not a surprise.

That’s really not okay.

I feel like its a great way for -Yoink!- to force users to subscribe to its service.

Always online doesn’t mean Gold Membership required

yeah forge uses servers so will require gold

Halo 5 is basically 60$ + your subscription. :I

Why?! I wanted to take my xbox up to my dads house during christmas break and build forge maps! Now, I cant do that. Great. Makes no sense. What are we gonna do? Boost Forge mode?
