Playing co-op games which shouldn't require xbox live.

Hey there, Doubting!

I'm sorry to see any frustrations! Based on your description, though, it sounds more like it's asking you to create an Xbox Live account. Xbox Live accounts do not need to have a Gold subscription on it to be able to be connected to the Xbox Live service.
It simply means you need to have a gamertag attached to a Microsoft Account. If you are trying to use a Guest account on your Xbox One, then that might be what you are running into.

Since you're posting in the Gears of War 2 forum, are you having issues with what you're describing in this game? Let me know so that I can help get specific details down and get you the right troubleshooting to help out.

[quote user="CAMAROBOY69"]Poor cruzin explained it perfectly too, yet you twisted it around...[/quote]In addition, he specifically stated, "not required" and "required" in the same Post. How is that "twisting" things?

[/quote]It's fairly obvious. Co-op is NOT required to play through the game and experience the story...[/quote]It was even stated it was. It really was stated it is Required?! Is English dead?! It is Required if someone wants
the full Story. I can also just play Chapter 1 in SP for the Story of Chapter 1, should that be satisfying as well?

Playing Co-OP is Required is someone wants the whole Story.

Yeah every game should have matchmaking for co-op! Maybe I just got spoiled from playing halo and vegas 2 but I believe every game that has co-op and online play should have a matchmaking system! for one because if your friends don't play that game. also
I shouldn't have to go out of my way to come on the forums to add tons of randomly people I don't know to my friendslist just to be able to play maybe one match with them and never play again with them. co-op matchmaking should be in all games that has online
co-op......

[/quote]Halo 3 and Vegas 2 didn't have Campaign co-op matchmaking. And no games shouldn't need matchmaking for co-op. Not being able to find enough friends to play a co-op game with is not the fault of the game.

Which DLC is required for co op ?

does it really require both to have xbox live? ive played co-op on a single xbox but always had 2 live accounts. never tried one without it.
