Spartan Ops and the silver user

if spartan ops is anything like another successful Co-op mode, then it should aslo be playable by yourself. i guess what im trying to say is

if someone is connected to xbox live but doesnt have gold. why should they have to miss out on the story of the S-IV’s? will they be able to play, recieve and replay these missions like everyone else?

I want everyone to experience the story. if 343 worked that hard everyone should be able to enjoy it.

im not talking about multiplayer. just this mystery spartan ops mode.
