COD Ghosts Xbox One offline (2 weeks before launch) not possible without Live?

- Start date
You think MS might have given him the memo though rather than risk another panic, but oh well, here we go again.

What exactly does being "console banned" mean? I've heard of the term, just never experienced it.
Are we still doing this? Sony is not doing this.
I thought he said he could play offline
He did. Interesting. What to believe?

Gotcha.
Day -14 patch does shit.
Day 1 patch makes all persistent online requirements vanish.
Good to know.
That part makes it seem like his console is banned and not just his live account.

Such a weird thing to put on the back of the box.

Im not one to defend the bone by any means but this doesnt seem like its on Microsoft's end.
This is IW making their game require online, not the MS DRM. If he can play other games offline then that proves it. Someone should ask on twitter.
I bet IW put that into the game bc of Microsoft's previous policies though...

Second sentence in the OP.
Considering Playstation Plus is required to play online now I wonder if they put that on the box to inform people they can still play the single player campaign.

I though he downloaded that patch, that's why we know the patch is 500mb.
Guy just tweeted that he can't even access the system settings

Wha?
Either the ban or microsoft's day one patch isn't up yet and the 500 mb patch did not remove the online requirement. You know maybe he really did play offline after the ban and after 24 hours the console locked up the way microsoft described originally.....

Is he still in there? I wonder how long he can last.
He doesn't know if that was a day one patch. It was just a patch he downloaded. That patch could be for the testers because they are only ones that suppose to have the console.
He downloaded A patch but there will probably be several more patches added before day one.

That was a different 'Day One' patch.
Clearly there will be many 'Day One' patches each one unique like a snowflake.
But the 'Day One' patch up on the 22nd won't make this a problem. Probably. Maybe.
Except for TitanFall which has no single-player component. Have you heard of TitanFall?
These are exactly the kind of things that need to be clarified before the $500 purchase is made.

Did anyone ever get their 360 banned? Does it not let you access the system settings?
The fact they have to put this is pretty sad.

Right. There are so many variables, we may not really be able to know for sure until the system launches.

If this is true, isn't anyone concerned that MS can basically remotely brick your console? I mean, I understand banning his console from live, but if he really can't use his console for anything because of the ban, that's a little worrisome.
What does the back of the Xbox One case say? The same?

I thought he said he could play offline
Now this is weird, so he played offline before but now he can't?
Oh shit.
Has... has it been 24 hours since his last "check in"?
It was clarified 5 months ago. There is no online verification of offline games.
Remember that 24 hour check in requirement that MS was talking about? 24 hours might have passed and now he can't.
UberTag

But is there online verification for the offline modes of online games?
That makes a lot of sense. Hopefuly 'Day One' patch #2 or #3 takes care of that.
Dat 24 hour check in.
this, THIS, THIS!!!

This is his original tweets on it:
and later he says this:
He may just be confused? I think they essentially locked the whole console down remotely? Although I'm not sure how that's possible if he's offline, but yeah. I'm pretty sure he's just wording it poorly.

I mean MS came out and said that the patch isn't out yet. I have no doubts he downloaded "A patch" but it was probably an older iteration that doesn't include the offline play ability.

Really? People are pretending like this is a real issue? SMH.
