Why is this ?! Some of us are on a limited budget and can't afford to just go out and buy live time straight after buying a new game.
Now is it bungie or activision that have decided upon limiting peoples use of the game? my guess is activision.
Edit: sorry feel i should elaborate, i am playing on trials at the moment.

To play online for any game on XBL, you need XBL Gold. This has been going on for years now, so it is nothing new.
