  1. Halo 5 local multiplayer with non-Gold accounts


    I've added my kids' xbox accounts to my Family setup on Xbox.com,
    but can't add them to my Halo 5 fireteam.
    They have Xbox Live accounts, but only I
    have a Gold account, and my Xbox One is set as my home system. What
    do I need to do in order to play multiplayer with them
    locally?

    Here are the symptoms:

    -- They show as "Not Joinable/Not Spectatable" in the "Friends"
    view
    -- If I log in as one of them and start Halo, a screen comes up
    that says "ATTENTION | A fireteam member's online safety settings
    do not allow them to view this content"
    -- If I invite them to join my game, party, or fireteam, then use
    the controller they're logged in with to accept, it returns to the
    "Friends" screen with no addition to the fireteam

    Here's what I've tried:

    -- Setting the Xbox One as the Home System for my Gold Account

    -- Adding them to the "Family" group in my Microsoft Account (and
    confirmed when logged in as them)
    -- Added them as my friends
    -- Removing their accounts, restarting the system, and re-adding
    their accounts
    -- Setting their controls to allow everything for Friends

    Any suggestions or settings I should look at? Or do I really have to upgrade all my kids to Gold accounts just to play together on our local Xbox One?

    Thanks!

    :)

    Halo 5 local multiplayer with non-Gold accounts

    to my knowledge halo 5 does not support local multiplayer (splitscreen) therefore each person needs to have an xbox.

    Except for all the promotion to "Go Gold"

    What is a LOCAL ACCOUNT ??? Would that be a profile without a gold membership?

    This was really a non issue 5 months ago JMHO.

    Do you now have to have an Xbox Gold account to play multiplayer in Halo 5???

    Halo 5 Xbox Live Gold Complaints

    Halo 5 does not support local multiplayer in any fashion. It does not "require" Gold for it, because the feature does not exist. It does require Gold for online coop and multiplayer, as do the overwhelming majority of the multiplayer games on Xbox. This
    has already been widely reported by "reputable gaming sites" after the interview the developers gave to Ars Technica last June confirmed this.
