Like Bovine said, just online play and some specific stuff for DLC, like the Halo theme coming out today and timed released on other things (Gold gets them first). I'm hoping with the PSN they'll finally be forced to make it free 'cause it's just irritating otherwise. I had it for free for over 2 years and I only played online for a short time when Gears came out. It's just not worth the $8 a month IMOSineSwiper wrote:My Gold account just recently expired, but really I don't see anything missing from the Silver account. What is in the Gold account anyway?
I just don't understand the appeal. It's soooooo generic. At least Unreal Tournament Whateverthefuck has gore and twitchy gameplay.bovine wrote:gold just means multiplayer, with silver you cannot play against others. Also, to nev: it's not all about halo, you can play other games too (is it still cool to say that halo is terrible? I can't keep up with these fads anymore)
You're in the minority unfortunately... am I the only one who paid $40 for 13 months? Most people aren't minding having to pay for it... which sucks because it *should* be free but that's not going to happen. Microsoft must make a shit-ton off of Live membership fees and they won't stop that yet-- especially when any major hyped PS3 game that's come out so far was a disappointment.Zeus wrote:Like Bovine said, just online play and some specific stuff for DLC, like the Halo theme coming out today and timed released on other things (Gold gets them first).

How's it feel to be the only gamer with an Xbox that doesn't "understand" Halo? I don't see how you can call it generic because I've played more than my fair share of FPS's (recently: Crysis, Quake: ET, CS:Source, Gears of War, etc) and Halo has a remarkably different feel and attitude about it than any others. The gameplay alone is very different. But then again... should I be surprised that someone who can't even be bothered to send their broken system in for repairs would say this? You have to rationalize it somehow or else you'd despair about how the rest of the world gets to enjoy in something you can't cause you're too lazy or somethingNev wrote:I just don't understand the appeal.

I know, which is why i said "I'm hoping".Tessian wrote:You're in the minority unfortunately... am I the only one who paid $40 for 13 months?

Halo is a relatively generic FPS in single-player, just a relatively solid generic one. If you're not an FPS fan (I'm not very much of one even though I like this series) it just feels like another FPS game, which isn't exactly appealing to a non-fan.Tessian wrote:How's it feel to be the only gamer with an Xbox that doesn't "understand" Halo?

You specifically said "in single player" which leads me to believe you know as well as everyone else it's the multiplayer that makes the game shine. Although I will say the 4 player coop campaign is amazing and I hope more games make it available in the future.Zeus wrote:Halo is a relatively generic FPS in single-player, just a relatively solid generic one.

I don't really play multi-player FPSs so single player is all I really care for. So the part that makes the game "shine" don't mean jack to me. I enjoyed the other Halo games and their campaign modes which is why I wanted to get this one. The part I care about, aside from the online co-op which I really can't take advantage of anymore anyways, is pretty generic, albiet a very good generic.Tessian wrote:You specifically said "in single player" which leads me to believe you know as well as everyone else it's the multiplayer that makes the game shine.

Uhhh, he's not the only one. I'm not buying the game because nobody can tell me WHY it isn't generic. Why the appeal? Why is it good? Why can't you tell me why? What is this different feel and attitude? I can analyze and tell you why other games are good, so why the fuck can't anybody tell me why the fucking game is good?!Tessian wrote:How's it feel to be the only gamer with an Xbox that doesn't "understand" Halo?
