Spartan Ops and by extension the whole of Halo 4 is a bad game. Seriously. The game is MAYBE worth 20 dollars for the graphics. -blam!- the rest of this -blam!--tier product.

I am a penguin. Every day I boogie on down to the water, and eat fish. Once, while fishing in the deepest depths, I saw great Cthulhu... And he said to me "Shine, to thine own self be true. They can't tell you what to do once you've gone guru." Also, I should tell you, "slide".

Episode 2 levels of quality.

One the whole, SpOps really likes crapping on it's own potential.

I see they decided to deal with the outcry against Palmer by not having her do any voice work in the ops... Instead of, you know, improving her writing/ dialog (For -blam!-s sake, 343i).

That cliffhanger with the Storm ships surrounding Crimson...dayum.

Can't wait to see what happens in the next episode.

They did not develop this in a week. This was all done prior to release and they are just re-releasing it for the sake of gimmickery. No altering is going into these before they come out.

The chapters were pretty challenging this week compared to last week
Pretty sure it's impossible to lose spartan ops.

It's possible to fail the first mission in this, especially solo. Lots of Promethians attacking things and semi-ignoring the player to do it. Solo on heroic, that is. I'm sure Easy is well within anyone's range of ability. Normal provided a good challenge on that.

I'm not sure if it would take that much work or development time to remove Palmer's dialog, and replace the rest to be non-Palmer-centric. Same missions; new audio files.

Nobody cares about anyone else's opinion - be it mine, yours, or a cult of angry star wars nerds - when they are enjoying what they enjoy.

Everyone cares about opinions, that's why we socialize on a forum with strangers.

The thing about Spartan Ops that bugs me so much is that it has the potential to be incredible, but it's so mishandled that, as TheUseless0ne said, it ends up being dull and repetitive.

Just to be clear, I think the CG series is excellent. Yes, the characters are pretty one-dimensional, but the story is interesting enough that I can overlook it. It's the missions themselves that 343i have completely failed to make interesting. Every week, it's the same objective on five of the same seven or eight maps. In-game dialogue amounts to little more than, "Crimson, go do this! Crimson, go do that!"

The whole thing has the potential to be more interesting, but 343i doesn't explore that potential. If we had unique maps every week with more than one type of objective, and if the characters weren't so one-dimensional, and if the missions were more integrated into the story, it could be pretty good. But 343i didn't do any of this, so it's just boring.

Rehashed maps. How surprising...


I dont really find this complaint to be valid. No one ever compalined about FF maps being the same over and over. Not to mention at least they use different areas of each map and there are vehicles, as well as objectives.


Spartan Ops is an actual story, the fact that they reuse so many times the same map makes it feel like a fan-made campaign.
This is only the test season.

One does not simply trolololol into Mordor.

Man Roland is so much less annoying than Palmer I wish he was the one directing the missions usually.

  • 12.03.2012 5:30 PM PDT

The only good thing from this Episode, is that we didn't get to hear that -blam!- Palmer say Crimson every other line.

  • 12.03.2012 5:30 PM PDT

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.

I played the first chapter on normal...


-blam!-. That. -blam!-.

If I ever get AIDS, I'm going to sleep with another AIDS person so my AIDS cancel each other out, or I'm going to make the AIDS I already have worse.

I don't really find this point to be valid, just because Bungie did it means 343i can too? And Firefight was just defending yourself from waves of enemies, not playing through a story on the same 3 maps over and over.

Along those lines, I think it's 5 or 6 which is even less levels Bungie had in Firefight.
