If you're passionate about the thing you're talking about, I'll always lend an ear.
In theory, you can argue it would be similar. But have you actually seen how it played out?
Sure some features would cripple a series. [Much like my experience with NG3] some things you know before the game comes out would devastate fans. However I at least watch vids to confirm these changes.
However at the very minimum at least wait till gameplay videos shows what has changed.
The thing about articles that describe gameplay is that things can be lost in translation.
Spartan Ops is an additional mode. It has potential. So you can argue it's a rip off Spec-Ops from MW2 and MW3. But how do you know that? Have you played it? If anything it could be something entirely different, we don't know. It could be better. It could be worse. For now it's just desciribed as a carry-on multiplayer componant focusing on mini-series like story. That's it.
Don't jump and paint it in a negative light just yet. That's simply not sensible. You have no real justification besides the similarity in it's name and elements such as story-focused and teamwork. Which in itself is not a bad thing.

Not relevant to the forum and let's not jump the gun here. Have you played the game?
No, no you haven't. So whatever judgement you make is as little as a grain of salt.
I don't need to play the game to know it has features I don't like. They just tell me it has customizable loadouts, and 4 player Co-op missions called "Spartan Ops", and I already know it's a blatant CoD copy. Customizable loadouts don't even work in the Halo context, and it's not hard to see that 343 doesn't even have the decency to hide the fact that "Spartan Ops" is just a clearly copy of "Spec Ops" by changing the name around. I've been receptive of all of the changes Halo has made in the last couple years, but this is going too far. Halo has always been an innovator in the past, but this is just the same as all the other CoD copies.
You don't know that just yet. So why act like you do.
Are you gonna retaliate by saying:
It has shorter kill times
It has full sprint
Customisable weapons and armour
Spartan points=Exp system
Join in mid game
Etc
Well so what? At this point it means nothing. If it's done Right it's done right and would work. This is hopeful thinking of course.
If they botched it all up then sad times for us eh. But you'd be lying if you say they did screw it up at this stage in time.
I don't support these changes as much as you. But I'm gonna reserve judgement until the game comes out.
Because whatever is going on your mind when you read those scans may not match the reality of what is actually happening in-game.
