Will Spartan Ops be Gold-Exclusive?

So my Xbox-Live ran out and I have no intentions of getting it back until I start playing Halo 4 multiplayer as even though I’m nearing the end of ninth grade I don’t have much time and have a few better things to do. And my Reach disc is really messed up so I have to play on CEA’s Multiplayer Disc.

So, the title says it all. Will Spartan Ops be Gold-Exclusive? I don’t wanna get gold until I finish campaign because I usually finish campaign and then jump into other modes such as multiplayer.

No. You just have to download it off XBL marketplace for free.
