I'd like to see it go away.I was going to post, but I see you've already done it for me. Thank you, good sir!
In addition to that...
Spartan Ops is one of the worst parts of Halo 4. The gameplay is in almost no way connected to the cut-scenes, many of the levels are just re-hashed sections from the campaign or multiplayer maps where you fight with bots. The repetition here is absolutely INSANE. Not only do we play through the same sections, often fighting the same enemies over and over and over again, the combat itself is repetitive: kill these guys over here, push this button, kill the guys, kill the guys, push button, push another button, kill the guys...
...it wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact that this is the replacement they gave us for scoring in Campaign co-op and firefight, which had some actual tension to the gameplay because there were actual consequences for dying unlike this meatgrinder of a gametype. And don't forget the fact that Spartan Ops is XBL Gold locked, so if you're offline for whatever reason, you're just out of luck. Even if it WERE offline, it wouldn't matter since the majority of the levels are designed specifically for 4 people to be playing at once, and you're not compensated with anything like a reduced number of enemies or more friendly bots when playing alone.
TL;DR: Spartan Ops SUCKS! It is one of the most pointless, monotonous, repetitive, uninspired, and poorly executed ideas in all of Halo. And I say this as someone who's been a diehard fan since Halo: CE, and own EVERY Halo game.
