I graduated from high school on June-11-2011. I'm 19 right now. I'm turning 20 in December. I like playing video games, and board games. I like reading Sci-Fi, and World War II novels, and what not.
"There is nothing better in the world than being better at a video game than someone else....oh wait"
I find it extremely boring. The only reason why I'm even playing it is for that achievement and EXP. Spartan OPS is that gametype you play for the achievements and the easy EXP. There is no fun in it at all.
-The maps are recycled.
-The objectives are repetitive.
-Miller is the "You don't say guy." Nothing he tells you is useful.
-Palmer never shuts up. "Crimson do this. Crimson do that." The egghead thing is extremely annoying.
-You can die 100 times and still complete the level.
-You can fail an objective and complete the level.
-For the amount of enemies that get spammed at you. They might as well did Firefight instead.
I like how this person over at Waypoint described it.
CGI EPisodes:
The weekly CGI episodes center around somewhat annoying characters that have nothing to do with what's going on in the gameplay portion of Spartan Ops. This sort of ruins the immersion because I feel like nothing I do in these chapters is effecting the actual episode.
Uninspired Voice Acting & Banter:
It seems to me like the voice actors that talk while you are playing are simply bored and completely disinterested in what you are doing. Not to mention the "radio transmission" effect makes them sound monotone and quiet. This is yet another thing that makes me feel like my actions are unimportant.
Pointless Objectives & Continuous Flooding of Enemies:
I love the objective based style that Spartan Ops was going for, but it seems that whenever I push a button all it does is make another wave of enemies spawn. The entire reason I was excited for Spartan Ops was the fact that it was going to differ from Firefight's wave after wave of enemies formula. However, it seems that we are simply getting a rehash of that with less features.
Recycled Environments & Reverse Missions:
I'm not quite understanding why environments were recycled from the Campaign to use in a different mode. It makes me feel like I'm playing nothing new and that I might as well play the Campaign variant because it's more engaging. What further adds to my puzzlement is the fact that some new environments actually are introduced into Spartan Ops. So why not just go full steam with this instead of making only a couple new environments? Reverse missions are also irritating. They once again make me feel like I'm doing the same thing, but for a third time. You could at the very least make small changes to the scenery to make it clear that time has passed since your last visit.
