Halo 5 co-op requires Xbox Live Gold

4.5
Halo 5 will require you and your BFF to cough up for Xbox Live Gold if you want to play co-op together.

Halo 5: Guardians got a big info blowout this month, and one of the more interesting bits of intel was word that you’d be able to play the co-op campaign without an Xbox Live Gold subscription.

This seemed like very good news as 343 Industries has ditched local co-op via splitscreen, meaning you have to go online to play with your buddy. Unfortunately, it’s not true.

Writing on Halo Waypoint executive producer Josh Holmes said he “misspoke when stating that online co-op campaign would be supported with an Xbox Live Silver account”.

“Co-op campaign will require Xbox Live Gold to play,” he confirmed.

After apologising, Holmes offered a partial solution:

“It is important to us that fans have the opportunity to play the full co-op campaign experience and we are doing this by providing a 14-day Xbox Live Gold trial with Halo 5: Guardians,” he said.

That’s something, anyway. Halo 5: Guardians releases this November. Expect to see it at Microsoft’s E3 2015 conference at 9.30am PDT on June 16.

Nullrouted Just to fill up Microsoft's money hungry wallet. That's BS you need to pay them a membership to play an offline co-op singleplayer.



they need to make money that's what Business is They have to make profit


You realize the networth of microsoft is about $248 billion dollars, right? You already pay for your ISP (unless you live with your parents and they pay for it, assuming you do) there's no need to pay to go online when you're already paying for internet.

PC = Free
PSN = Free
Xbox = $$$ - Money hungry

Oh no! The game is going to require gold just like every game on xbox and PS4 require??? Seriously though, who doesn't have gold that has a one.
