Wow, I can't say I'm surprised they changed their policy about online co-op without gold. This is MS afterall... :/

Was probably more of a PR fail by saying it wasn't required.

They didn't change it if it was never a thing and if there was just some misunderstanding or something. 



Both Sony and MS dumping a ton of info before E3.

Well they let the news circulate around for a day before clarifying it. Seems like it was a mistake on their part. I mean its not a big deal since most people have Gold now anyways.

If MS doesn't do some backtracking fast this could really kill alot of hype leading into E3


...are MS the ones who said it wouldn't need Xbox Live or was it some leaker?



Ehh as long as the multiplayer is good I dont play halo online with a friend locally anyway.

It was a communication error between 343 and Game Informer. Sadly, this news combined with the lack of local splitscreen seems to have killed hype for alot of people, I'm seeing alot of negative comments on articles and forums.

Won't change much, gamers love to whine about everything but in the end it won't really affect sales (that online gold account thing, split screen co-op maybe a little). When I see some gamers I wonder how they handle real life if they are already so upset and whiny about stuff in gaming.

I agree with criss. I don't think it matters as much as people are saying. But if they're gonna whine then by all means, don't buy the game. I'm gonna have a ton of fun either way.



The halo news yesterday was of the best halo news we have had. People can't stop bitching
