Gears of War Message Board  

Yes, I decided to activate my 1 month free gold LIVE membership so that I could go and earn some achievements, but then I wanted to test out some new commands that I had just found. So I started single player and I noticed that as I typed the commands in, they didn't work, it didn't give a "unrecognized class" error, just nothing. I tried to execute my super-awesome-text-file with millions of commands and it didn't work either!
Then, I signed out of my gold account and started a new game and what do you know? Now it worked!?
Anyone want to confirm that Gold accounts don't allow you to enter custom commands?

What kind of custom commands?

Whoah, Deja vu...
basically anything if you use the set and then a command. I tried a lot of things, but youn could test if you find something that works.

This live thing is pretty crappy. microsoft sells there xboxes and live games here in South Africa but you cant create a live acount here. What is the use of that then.

Duh.....Yeah George, it's called Achievements. They're meant to be an award for accomplishing something, not cheating through the game.

I dunno - I downloaded the Halo 2 Vista trainer to get through Legendary and it worked. Only crashed once because my timing sucked.

Yeah, but he's trying to use cheats built into the game.

Might not be from LIVE itself but the update that they made you download perhaps? I wonder if it changed some of the files back to default so it could rewrite some other files and just needs to be re-activated.
