Yeah I got your email. Microsoft wanted to do so much more with family plan but they got bashed by the gaming community last year when then wanted to go digital.

There's a limit to the family plan though: you can't play the same copy at the same time. If I'm playing Destiny, and you are playing my copy of Titanfall, then it'll work fine.

There's a way to bypass, to play the same copy at the same time. On your xbox machine, you list your friend as the primary host. On your Xbox machine, your friend list you as the primary host.

We won't be able to play at the same time basing on the restriction. I have to remove my friend, and list you as my host, and there's a restriction to how many times I can do this (I won't be able to add my friend back for a while).

Yup, dont do that :D Well at least we can share games, albeit not the same time :D.

Btw, you're a real class act. :D

You can play up to 6 in a team I believe. You might want to catch up to level 20 (soft cap) first, which should be 2 days if you play at least 6 hours each day. It took us 2 weeks to get from level 20 to 27, after doing challenges and hunting for legendary armors.

Just a warning though, the game is very repetitive and the challenges are crazy.

What do you do online, just shoot each on maps?

All the modes are online, and yeah you basically shoot each other. In story mode, you co op with your friends and kill the enemies, & sometimes you'll bump into a group of other players where you have to kill a public boss for rewards. You go back to town/lobby to collect your points and rewards.

It matchmaking (crucible mode) you go against the other players like the traditional FPS out there, except some players will most likely have better gears. You earn points and rewards too.

There's also a Raid mode, which I have yet to try. The minimum requirement is 6 players and I heard it can take up days to complete and get the rewards.

I know you don't like repetition so get the disc version instead in case you need to sell/trade it back. The game got very average reviews so it's like a hate or love thing.
