Are you able to pay attention?

I have literally played 3 missions of the campaign, so this may go away, but do you find it easy to follow along with the snipets of campaign going on while playing the mission? I was so engulfed in playing the match, learning the maps or whatever that I
would just kind of hear stuff happening, but wasn't paying much attention to what was being said or what was going on in the little window on the top right of my screen. Maybe once I get a little more comfortable with everything, that will go away.

not able to pay

One of my payments for xbox live gold didn't go through not too long ago but it won't let me pay it. Microsoft told me to go to services and subscriptions to pay it but it won't let me. when I go to my billing history it says "charge failed" and "needs attention"
but it will not allow me to do anything about it, at least not to my knowledge. any suggestions?

 

Why can't I pay for the 1 month gold for 1 dollar with my Microsoft credit

Those are service rules that assure you will be able to pay for xbox live membership, so if you want to avail yourself of that offer you need to pay with a debit card /credit or pay pal.

 

a question about the games campaign, (i haven't played it yet). I understand its MP only but

A.whats the minimum number of players allowed?

B. when you do go into matchmaking for it, is it flip floppy like the Halo Reach MP campaign where as people pick a difficulty and a mission? Or do you get to play the missions in order?

I would hate to start up the campaign for the first time only to play the last mission with somebody

 

Again, I have played very little, but from what I saw, the game didn't allow the match to start until both teams had 6 on each side. I did see one match where someone fell out during the match, but the next mission didn't start until it was 6 v 6 again.

I will find out about the mission selection when I get back on later. But, I started from the beginning and most people that were playing with me were level 1s just like I was, so it appears the game tracks your progress and puts you in a campaign that mirrors
your progress. At least, I hope it is this way because I obviously didn't finish my first campaign with the little that I played.

 

Campaign is throwaway. Just some extra achievement.

 

well its not just throw away or an extra achievement, since you need to finish both sides of the campaign if you want to be able to customize the Stryder or Ogre titans, since they are only unlocked after you finish each side of the campaign.

 

It's hard to pay attention. I think there's some replayability in the campaign mode just to go back and catch new pieces of the story you might have missed the first time (or second , or third)
