Does anyone know when the champions bundle will work in Spartan Ops?
It won’t, ever. 343 has stated in one of these threads that SOPS more or less maxes out the amount of system memory (ie. RAM) that the game uses to load in assets such as the covenant, levels, weapons, and player armor into any given game. So, unless they want to start courting severe performance issues or commit to a massive update that rebuilds SOPS they can’t add in anything else to SOPS. Not new loadout mods, not new armor, nothing. It’s all verboten.
How though something at a smaller scale to, say, Space Marine’s Exterminatus co-op mode can manage to soak up so much memory and yet deliver so little (and still not support DLC) is another question entirely. I think the bigger question here is whether or not 343 is capable of delivering at least par from the Halo engine for the next games. Frankie recently cited “engine limitations” as to why certain features could not, probably never will, be added to Halo (ex. spectator mode) and here’s another practical example of the same problem but with much more severe consequences (for SOPS fans.) And this is only according to the lax standards of this console generation. When innovation kicks off again what new levels of inadequacy can we hope to see from 343?
