+Mystic MVC Posted January 3, 2009 MVC Share Posted January 3, 2009 My brother just got a 360 and I have been goading him to hook it up to XBL on weekends for the free services. A bunch of his friends still love to play Halo 2 online but my brother said it doesn't work (when using Silver). I figured something was up because it is an Xbox original game so I didn't know if that fell under the Silver coverage. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macrosslover Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 As far as I know you need gold to play any game online, original or 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mystic MVC Posted January 3, 2009 Author MVC Share Posted January 3, 2009 I guess I didn't know what to tell him when I was digging up articles like this on Kotaku. What exactly does that mean then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted January 3, 2009 Veteran Share Posted January 3, 2009 Basically Microsoft removed the charges for PC gamers to play all the Games For Windows Live games online for free. Previously they needed to buy an XBL subscription just like 360 owners. After they did that, Microsoft's GFWL games were free to play online, which were also released on the 360. i.e Halo 2, Shadowrun etc. It was for a limited time only iirc, but it could still be going.

DanManIt Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Pretty sure you need gold to go online with your games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted January 4, 2009 Veteran Share Posted January 4, 2009 You do, unless they are also GFWL games, which you can play for free on Silver accounts. Do people not read topics anymore before replying? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neoadorable Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 doubt you really spend all your day in front of a computer, but at any rate i'm joking, it's nice you're helping him out. and i understand you not wanting him on the forum, i'm a very territorial person myself.
