Hell no, thats the laziest excuse of a game mode ive ever seen, they didn't even remotely try in any way shape or form

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.


Well it doesn't have to be removed, but I wish they at least gave some effort, for some of the reasons posted

Like reused campaign and multiplayer maps over and over again, then with that its the horrid lag, sometimes when I press the trigger it takes over a second for it to shoot, same with moving and jumping, so I dont even know what im doing.

Then they didn't even optimize it correctly so it could even withstand framerate drop, which happens frequently, youd think they'd have that fixed before they actually released the game

No. Spartan ops is boring and repetitive. The objectives lack diversity and usually consist of going somewhere to hit a switch, meanwhile so many enemies are thrown at you that you often forget what the purpose of the objective is.

Questions lead to learning, learning leads to kowledge, knowledge leads to understanding, understanding leads to peace.

Probably. Season 1 is a test for possible future seasons anyways, so I would expect them to fix a lot of the problems.

The only thing I regret is not knowing Halo 4 would turn out this way.


Also buying the piece of crap.

Halo 4 was poorly rushed in order to release before Black Ops 2. It's plain obvious the game wasn't finished, and it still lacks the File Browser functionality up to this day.

The lag in Spartan Ops is unbearable, whereas in Reach it was at least tolerable every 3 games or so, since you could easily get host in Doubles.

Ever wonder what's up there?

If Season 1 blows, why would anyone bother with a Season 2, 3 or 4?

Make a thread saying you will counter any argument against armor lock...

God no.

Unless they stop rehashing levels, fix the lag, and make it actually possible to fail.

Seriously, whats the point of a difficulty level if you can't lose?

I can't imagine anyone spending money on something that just reuses the maps and campaign levels on the disc. That doesn't sound like smart spending to me.

Plus the idea of having to buy seasons is a slap in the face to all consumers.

First buy an xbox.
Then xbox live.
Oh you need internet connection.
Now get Halo.
Look heres some map DLCs.
How about paying even more money on top of that for Spartan Ops?

It uses the maps and content you've already bought so basically its just money for old rope.

343 are clever.

No this game was a scam. Released before COD to make what they can before its release, make lots of cash. Then they try and entice people to keep the garbage disc for future story telling through spartan ops. Hell no. All the while barely address the problems and communicating there plans to patch or otherwise announce when things like file share will be available. Ill take this back to the used games market so someone else can give it a go with out having to give 343 anymore of our money. I support used game industry because of scams like this!!!

Honestly, they'd have to 'wow' me with some originality first.

Spartan 383

If some actual thought is put into it sure, it seems to have great potential, if I found out that Episode 5 had a final Pelican run then that would restore all confidence for me.

It definitely doesn't help that Spartan Ops Season 1 looks so painfully cheap and lacking in variety.

So many switches. So many switches to press.

I was a finalist :P

Playing the same recycled maps with slightly differing objectives becomes monotonous, even if they attempt to tell a story with it. Added to the fact that 343i's good-connection search is horrible in multiplayer which results in me experiencing lag in almost every Spartan OPs mission online, means I wouldn't play it even if they paid me to, let alone me pay them.

If you see this post in your topic I'm sorry to tell you but your topic is dying.

If they add new locations I might.

  • 11.29.2012 1:41 AM PDT

.:[Jim Tuite]:.

Probably not. If anything I might just look up the cut scenes on waypoint or youtube. If I hear it has new maps an better missions then yes.

I hated Spartan Ops. The first Episode was okay, but the rest felt so repetative.

  • 11.29.2012 2:16 AM PDT

If you can read this, that means I'm not a Shaolin monk...

yet.

Only if the missions become more like Operations and less like kill a million Fuel Rod Elites.

Also more vehicles!
