Subject: Spartan Ops to go....on break.

Racism isn't wrong if it's funny.

Spartan Ops is not on the disc, people. Noticed how you can't play it if you're not online?
It's a matter of them writing code to tell the game what to do with the Maps, that ARE preinstalled.

I'd imagine the break is for them to focus on building the new levels for the new Maps so we don't have to play that Goddamn research center again.

Did none of you read it?

They're rotating previous episodes in MM.
It'll come back with new locations.


Regardless putting it on hold for a month is still a bad idea.
Is it? You people are never happy. They a) want a damn holiday and b) they're taking more time to put new locations into the series.


Come on, you and I both know that, when they say "new locations", they just mean maps on the disc that we haven't used yet for Spartan Ops. There's no way they'd actually use DLC maps for Spartan Ops because that'd automatically alienate a large portion of players that can't or won't get the DLC.

You realise they could, I dunno, make new environments that aren't in the campaign or multiplayer? I swear you guys are so critical...

They better return with more interesting missions then. There is no point in a break if they return with more stupid button-pressing for eggheads.

you know what's fun? The fact they will have to put up with this crap after recycling maps for atleast a year

They need to code more buttons to press.


Guess they should hire Garrus to do some calibrations for them.

I'm not surprised by the 343 hate.

Looks like plenty of people went in expecting 343 to code entirely brand spanking new geometry for each and every chapter of every episode.

I held no such expectations and I like SOps just fine.

I like doing it just to kill some time when my friends aren't online and such.

Am I the only one that thinks that this is kinda stupid?



......god I miss firefight.

I completely understand that they need time off from the game to go home for the holidays but you know how people are. They're gonna be busy flipping out about how the whole hiatus thing is.


You do know to make new maps for Spartan Ops would take time and that may be what their doing during this break from it. So in other words people need to chill.

When one is making game, do the opposite of 343i.

This.

Why do the missions not have more variety? An Ops mission where you are sniping enemies without being spotted. Mission where you have to blow up a Covenant Cruiser. Air fighting mission to protect Pelicans. Taking on Scarabs who are assaulting a base.

Not only would it pay homage to past Halo games and their missions, but it would be a change in pace.

Well at least I'll get my forerunner destroyer commendation in that time lol.
Slightly offtopic, but do you know a good mission to grind Crawler Snipers? I've gotten everything else near completion, but I'm still on 1/6 for them.


I dont think there is a good mission where they are concentrated heavily enough. They seem pretty rare so the best thing would be to play the levels with Promethean enemies alone

Oh that sucks. I guess there will be those changes in mid December to help me play more.

Plausible.

Mission where you have to blow up a Covenant Cruiser.
Not plausible. Covy Cruisers are just low rez'd models. Barring that they would have to design the interior of the Cruiser itself for you to fight on. There's currently no existing architecture for them to pull from.

Air fighting mission to protect Pelicans.
Plausible but boring. Only three units: Banshee, Phantom, Lich. And you're fighting them in either a Gunship Pelican or a Broadsword.

Mebbe five units if you want to include the Promethean guns and missile batteries seen in the last chapter of the game.

Likely battlegrounds are also limited as well.

Taking on Scarabs who are assaulting a base.
Not plausible. No Scarabs in the game, would have to be designed and coded.

I'm gonna finish it. Just like Jigga did to the pyramid.

not really bothered, however new maps should be fun after the new episodes are released.

I am your sword and shield to guide you through countless battles. I am your Alpha and Omega; beginning and end. I am GAMMA.

When making a game, don't look for advice in the Flood.

Why don't all of you guys complaining about 343 go learn how to code a simple text adventure. Go on, I'll wait. It should take you about a week to pump out something not even passable in the community's eyes.

343 has probably been working on the new maps for a WHILE and they are using the month to either take some time away from the workplace, or finish them up.

  • 12.06.2012 9:56 AM PDT

My Brahman is ready.

Thank God for newer maps. I was tired of playing on the same maps over and over again.

  • 12.06.2012 9:58 AM PDT

They can go on a perma-break for all I care. Hate Spartan Ops.

Circle Jerkin' I got my wiener workin'

Wow, Halo 4 has to be one of the biggest blunders of all time.
