[quote name='sp00ge']Unless I'm missing something, I don't get what all the crying is about. It's a FREE online-only game. If you don't want to pay for the online service, you don't get to play. It's not like you paid for the game and then MS slipped the online-only bit in after the fact.
I consider it a bonus for those of us who pay for Live.
But everyone is entitled to everything for free, it seems.[/QUOTE]
I agree, but I think it was a little unexpected. The last game was free and it didn't require you to have a Gold sub. It didn't say anything about being a Gold Exclusive when you downloaded it. It even let people without Gold download it. They should have mentioned it was a Gold only title before downloading it. I think a lot of people got their hopes up and were a bit misled.
I have Gold on my profile, but my kids only have free accounts, so they can't play.
