Gears of War 4 Horde Mode

Hello.

I understand I need Xbox Live Gold for horde mode. If I get gold, can I play Horde mode on GOW4 local splitscreen?

If so, does the other player need to have a gold account as well or can I get them to sign in as a guest.

Thanks.

Gears Of War 4 Microtransactions Don't Let You Pay To Win! Feel Better Now?

From the list describing the available micro transactions it doesn't appear that any will unbalance the game in PVP, these all seem generally cosmetic (weopon skins/characters) or bounties to increase XP/character level.

The main game mode in which I think this will be more prolific is horde mode. I don't know how this mode will work in GOW4, but I'm guessing more of the same in that you will have to buy fortifications etc, and the micro transactions will just make horde
mode easier. Assuming the horde mode is all player vs AI (i.e. not like beast mode in GOW Judgement), then at least it won't give a certain player an advantage as you are all on the same team.

Seems to ruin the point of the challenge in horde to make it 'easier'. I personally never buy micro transactions, but if I'm on a horde team on GOW4 and somebody wants to throw real money at extra fortifications etc then more fool them.

Set your console to instant on mode. Updates will take place when you're not using the console and you will never notice them.

Yes you need gold membership to play horde mode on GOW4 local splitscreen

You can share your gold membership with other accounts if you use the home setting feature:

This is great since it makes progression feel more natural. The randomness made horde in GoW4 not as fun as I wanted it to be.
