Subject: Does anyone like Spartan Ops?

This is now my main account. My former account was xKingGhidorahx. I've been on this site since 2009.

I've been playing Halo games for ten years, and I must say that Spartan Ops is the worst game mode in the entire series. I just don't know how anyone could possibly have fun playing it.

It was really shocking to see that 343i recycled the maps used in Episode 1 and used them again in Episode 2. When I saw that they started to use multiplayer maps along with more recycled maps in Episode 3, I lost all hope in the gamemode.

Firefight had it's flaws too, but at least you could customize your the gamemode to your liking so that you wouldn't get the same thing over and over again.

The only part of Spartan Ops that I find enjoyable is watching the little 5 minute videos that come out with each episode. Other then that, it just flat out sucks.

Anyone agree?

I would have preferred an updated Firefight.

Most of them I've found a bit boring but a few I've liked, especially fighting 12 hunters on Ragnarok.....with a Mantis, it's more like "What hunters?!"

Don't LOL if you aren't L'inOL.

Halo: Reach
Halo 3
Halo ODST

Honestly, I think I preferred Firefight, without the story. I dunno why, I just do.

"It is the cruelest fate, to have written words that meant well and see them made wicked and unwise. What was meant to encourage life, used instead to justify taking it."

I like how it extends the story beyond the ending of the campaign. But other than that, I'm not impressed. The pre-episode cutscenes are the best part.

The whole recycling maps thing is a bit naff. But other than that I'm loving SO, the cinematics are really good and the story is really starting to get interesting.

However I would have been happy with an updated FF.

Join The Reach Asset a group I am very proud to be a leader of.

When we get new levels every 2 weeks then yes. But that only happens twice a season. Otherwise, playing on the same levels and dealing with Palmer is annoying.

Oh Yes!

I did. I don't know if there's a story. And it's pathetic that we're using the same maps again and again, it's like the UNSC can't lock down anything. "Where does it take them?" Somewhere we've already been to, a place with lots of UNSC supplies for some reason.

Just give me the episodes in advance.

Pretty much this.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Would it have been that difficult to throw in Firefight? I didn't really play that OR Spartan Ops, but it would really add extra value to the game.

I wouldn't even care if they just slapped on Reach's mode. As long as it was in the game.

The CGI is the best part.

We are all going to get banned aren't we?

It's awesome i just think you are complaining because despite your "ten years" you honestly don't follow the plot whatsoever. Of course they are going to have to reuse content because they explained that it cost a lot of money to do all of this and lately they have been switching it up.

How about you read the novels and play on legendary,that will give you some more bang.

Just remember that no matter how terrible you feel, or how much you want to let go, there are people who care about you and love you.

Nobody cares how big of a vet you are, and yes, some people enjoy it.

  • 12.02.2012 1:04 PM PDT

Best part about H4 right now.

  • 12.02.2012 1:06 PM PDT

My name is Big and E master you know why

Beacuse im a Big and an master! And my name is Erlingur (yeah strange name) Thats why i put the E on :D bigmaster
add me if you dare on xbox live.

I enjoy it, i like it, i kinda like it that there is a story and meaning to it, instead of just killing allot of covies. Im looking forward to the next episode tomorrow, and if it ends good im going to check out the other chapters, who you will have to buy. I do hope Palmer gets a bit lesser annoying.

I aim to please.

Love how people complained about how boring and repetitive firefight was, and now they turn around and praise it once it's replaced. If you seriously expected 343 to make new levels for every single spartan ops mission, then you're no better than all of the whiny children that occupy waypoint's forums.

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

Whats not to like?
