So I canceled my XBL gold subscription and now when I go to spartan ops I can’t play a single or local player game what gives? I have to pay extra to play off line now too and for content I payed for when buying the game? WHAT GIVES 343? I know Msoft like there DRM and $$ but this is ridiculous by even Msoft standards.
Spartan Ops sadly requires a gold subscription and a stupid internet connection even though you can play solo matches. It’s literally the worst idea ever.
Unlike Halo 3 ODST or Reach’s firefight which you can play locally offline whenever you please.
Spartan Ops is but a taste of what it will feel like if MS plans to make their next xbox always online. I won’t buy it if they do it either.
I don’t think microsoft would be stupid enough to drive there next gen console into the ground by using online only functions. But the whole spartan ops thing is basically blackmailing you into buying live gold.
sadly 75% of the fun of Halo 4 is with a Gold subscription
i don’t see the point of having spartan ops with Gold
then when the servers get shutdown, spartan ops is bye bye forever?
whats the point? then we just have a disc with the campaing (i like the campaing don’t get me wrong) the 2 disc is useless in some way even installed with silver membership
so hang on, i have a gold membership, and have downloaded the spartan ops missions like the season 1 part 2 pack, if they decided to shutdown a server for them, they cant be played offline? so potientaly spartan ops could vanish someday?
Spartan Ops is crap. The real incentive (for me) is H4’s Co-op. That’s one of the reasons why I went Gold.
