Cool XBOX Live query

My son has just bought COD Black Ops for his Xbox, and he asked he I wanted to play with him online on zombies. The other accounts on the box do not have Xbox Live access (well, not Gold) and it said I couldn't play with it. On the PS3 we can play doubled up no problem.

Do I have to have gold membership on the other account too? If so, that is unbelievably ****!

On Left 4 Dead, you can do it without problem, it allows you on a guest because the main player has Gold.

Thoughts?

Because MS/Activision are *****! What a rip off. I always thought Live was a rip off, but this just confirms it.

I am more than willing to admit I'm being a dull tw@t on this, so how did you do it?

Got it, signed in as Guest. On L4D, you didn't have to do that, it did it for you no matter who you chose.
