Ever wonder what's up there?

After what you have experienced with Season 1, would you guys buy a Spartan Ops Season 2?

I seriously can't think of a reason why anyone would bother. Spartan Ops has been a huge letdown for me, since I was practically expecting a second campaign with a somewhat dumbed-down plot, but what I've gotten thus far can't even compete with Firefight.

There is no scoring, the maps are always reused from the campaign, and I've played in Valhalla at least 3 times now. I wouldn't be surprised if the rest of Season 1 involved playing in the remaining multiplayer maps like Exile or Meltdown.

Palmer is such a waste of space. It's simply a bad character. She constantly nags you regardless of your life-risking feats and disrespects the "Eggheads" that made her sorry ass become a Spartan to begin with. Miller is just there to make Palmer seem superior to someone, and the rest of Majestic team is rather forgettable.

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

Nope.

Isn't.. Meltdown a BLOPS II map?

Nahman Jayden, Eff bee eye. I herd that you're the origammy killah...

Thorne is respectable
I want him to be a main character, because he has a good background and his discussion with halsey this episode was nice

OT: Unless they add scoring, skulls and no copypasta...
No

I would, only if:

The missions were longer
Less button pushing
More unique area, less copy n pasting
Palmer would shut up
Less wannabe Firefight

Thorne got his spotlight this week, and I guess the other members of Majestic will get their own close ups as well, but thus far they all seem like shallow characters who are only remotely important because they are Spartan IVs.

I've heard rumors Majestic will be in the Halo 5 campaign; hopefully Throne will function as one of the main characters in the storyline. I agree, everyone in Majestic, and Palmer, are pretty lame. Thorne definitely seems to be the most interesting out of the bunch.

Yes.

I think he's intentionally getting the spotlight. The limited edition did come with some of his personal journal entries and other information, I think 343 is prepping to be one of the characters that complements Chief in the next two games (hopefully).

With the release of Chapter 5 (or Episode 5?) next week, everyone will be able to get all on-disc achievements, so I don't see why would anyone bother with the remaining episodes and deal with all that repetitiveness.

They would have to pay me to play.
-Recylced maps
-Laggy ass multiplayer
-Vehicle damage

The only good thing to Spops are the cinematics. Halo 4 itself needs to undergo a -blam!- load of drastic changes before they expect us to buy stuff from them.

I'm glad you cared to look at this box with letters. Lets hang out sometime! :D

OP is an egghead.

OT: Maybe if the maps are better and not re-used, I MIGHT consider buying it.

It's not as bad as to have it removed completely out of the game, but it doesn't even come close to the two iterations of Firefight we've seen thus far, at least in my opinion.

You have to admit, the cutscenes took some serious effort.

I've loved Spartan Ops so far. I can't wait for season 2.

Exactly. 343 is done with this season, so nothing is going to change until season 2, assuming 343 does change some stuff.

I wouldn't bother about the use of that term, since it can be used as a compliment too, but it is always used as an insult and is constantly spammed to my ears in every single playthrough.

Other than mocking the Chief, insulting eggheads and kicking a Forerunner artifact, I haven't seen Palmer do -blam!-.
