So is Halo 4's multiplayer worth $59 for LIVE?

OS: Windows 7I don't play my 360 much at all to be honest...I'm really more of a pc fan but I bought Halo 4 for the family and I to play together.
Anyway, we don't have LIVE at the moment and noticed while playing split screen that they have added some cool things like clones and a different shild and other cool perks.
So what do you think...is it worth it?

This. Also there is NEVER a reason to pay $59 for Live. There are constantly deals happening when you can get it for $35-$40. Shop around. As for Halo 4, the MP is amazing.

- Jan 30, 2013 4:34 pm GMTIf Halo 4 is the only reason you're considering activating LIVE, then no, it is not worth it. The game has some life to it, but it honestly it not worth the LIVE subscription. They are constantly adding to it, but I just do not think the replayability is there like it was in the previous games, especially since the online gaming community is split between so many different multiplayer games.

To me, Xbox live gold is rip-off.....you pay for something that everywhere else is free (online multyplayer). Plus, you get commercials thrown down you throath.
But i still buy xbox live because i like games on xbox and play a lot of MP games (halo 3, halo reach, halo 4). I didn't like Halo 4 that much so i went back to Halo reach and COD:mw3.
If you would like to play games online, then yeah, buy xbox live (only because you need it to play MP games).

I wouldnt get live solely for Halo MP if thats all your going to play def isnt worth it not like Halo's an MMO or something. Halo MP is good though just no so amazing mind blowing good that you should buy gold just for it.

Expecting everyone to know they could get it discounted could also make someone an idiot.

Post is absolutely terrible, I can't stand people who put there $0.02 in with no reasoning. First of all, you don't know what his finances are like so I think saying that activating XBL for HALO 4 is not worth it is very subjective. Stop giving advice to posts out of your own pocket. I personally have XBL and the only online game I play and plan to play is HALO 4. For me this is my favorite HALO yet. I really like the diversity in game modes, the new maps and the different weapons implemented in to HALO 4. I really like what 343 and I'm enjoying this HALO a lot. I'm mostly a single player guy, but for me I don't mind paying for an enjoyable online gaming experience.
I'm not a XBOX Fanboy. I also have a PS3 and I do think that live should be free because they bombard us with advertisements however that doesn't take away from the enjoyment I receive and the yearly cost of xbox is inexpensive in my terms.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

You need to understand what "time is money" truly means. You also need to know what opportunity costs are. IMHO anyone who does't understand these two things is an idiot.

Halo 4 is the only game I play online. I have never been a fan of shooters but I bought Halo 3 one day when I wanted a game but there was no games that were particularly appealing to me and Halo 3 had just come out and had all the hype. I played through the campaign and thought it was ok. Decided to give the MP a go and while I was absolutely pathetic (I am only marginally better now! )I just had so much fun, I played it for hours every day. I bought Halo Reach but just didn't get into it much.
Now I have Halo 4 and I am completely back in the addiction wagon. I am still horrible at it but the fun level of the MP is through the roof for me. I have played one mission in the campaign and it was ok, played a couple of Spartan Ops missions and they were ok... but the Big Team Slayer just consumes 50% of my free time now... which is A LOT of time to dedicate to one thing when you're a married man! I play other modes too, like CTF but I find I often run into teams of players that play together regularly and I get stuck with useless player like myself hahah. At least in BTS you have room to do your own thing.
Bottom line for me after all this rambling is that I would (and did) pay for Xbox Live, purely to play Halo 4 MP.

[/QUOTE] You're right, I don't know his finances, but he obviously has some qualms about it if he is asking if it's worth it. I simply gave my opinion, and if I remember correctly I didn't ask for your opinion on my post. And I did give quite a few different reasons why "I didn't think it would be worth the live subscription. So, maybe next time read the entire post and not just the first sentence.
