Actually, you can enjoy the single-player campaign of MW2 without Xbox Live, but for anything online (like multiplayer), Xbox Live Gold is a must.
You don鈥檛 need Xbox Live if you're just playing offline or the single-player campaign. Multiplayer, though? Xbox Live Gold, my friend.
Hot take: Xbox Live isn't even worth it just for MW2. Just play the campaign.
Get Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. It includes Xbox Live Gold and you'll be covered for MW2 multiplayer and loads of other games too!
