Xbox live & COD4

[Fubar]

Do you have to be a gold member to play online?
I was given an Xbox 360 and COD4 for Christmas and so far it's telling me I'm a silver member :rolleyes:
Other games I have here for the Xbox are COD3, GRAW, Oblivion and battlestations Midway which isn't that good.

Yes you do need to be a Gold member (Austin Powers ?) but it doesn't cost that much really for a 12 month subscription. Have you tried setting up your Silver membership yet because when i tried to set mine up it told me i was eligible for a free month of Gold membership as a new member.....their attempt to hook you on online gaming (and it worked too). ;)
