Look at this:
> Hi, OmegaSkittles. The three new armor mods, along with Champions Bundle content, are not available in Spartan Ops or Campaign. I’ll keep my fingers crossed testing them out in matchmaking doesn’t hurt your K/D too much. 
People have been complaining that the two new armor mods they released this morning don’t work in Spartan Ops. But according to the above post by BS Angel… it’s the new armor (Mark V, ODST, Prefect, and Ricochet) as well as the new weapon skins in the Steel Skin Pack, don’t work in Spartan Ops.
This is ridiculous. I enjoy Spartan Ops as much as (if not more than) I enjoy War Games; I’d prefer to be able to use the new content where ever I like. Seriously, 343i; this is not okay.
PLEASE tell me this is going to be fixed, and soon!
UPDATE: Bad news…
BS Angel finally gave us an answer… in another thread.
> Hi, DecadenceXx. HurryingCandy is correct. Due to the expansive sandbox featured in Spartan Ops missions, we have less flexibility to use additional memory for new content. We would have loved to implement it across the board but unfortunately that was too risky of a move (risky in this instance meaning there was a strong likelihood of breaking things).
I assume this means the problem will never be fixed 
What I’m wondering is why BS Angel didn’t just tell us this days ago… I mean, this thread would have been pretty hard to miss.
Damn it all… Can they at least fix that glitch where the new armors forearms and shoulders display as Inner-Plated/Scout in first-person?
I have to agree I was probably only going to use this armor and AA in SpOps so I don’t know if I’ll buy it now or not.
Now, now, it’s not even out yet, it they may fix it in the future, judging something like this (introducing new features like armour, skins, armour mods) has never been done before I’m sure issues have come up

I hope you’re right. Not fixing this is unacceptable. I’m one of those who gravitates more towards the single-player and co-op aspects of Halo. This makes me feel left out.
WHAT?
The armor and skins don’t work in SPARTAN Ops? That’s the only place I even want to play. You’re telling me that they finally come out with my favorite armor, and yet it DOESN’T WORK IN THE ONE GAME MODE I WANT IT TO?
Gee, glad I had some prior warning.
Definitely not buying the DLC anymore. Neither will any of my friends either, if this is true.

I hope they do, I’m also a singe/co-op player and really want to use Prefect
This doesn’t bug me at all. If spartan ops had a proper connection, i would be more mad.

You can play Spartan Ops solo, you know. No lag that way.

thats how i have to play.
anywho, 343 this is not cool. you never actually informed anyone of this until the day before in a random thread conversation? come on man. this has to stop.
> This doesn’t bug me at all. If spartan ops had a proper connection, i would be more mad.
99% of the time it is your own connection. I don’t play much Spartan Ops (really only 9 or 10 games online) but I’ve never had a problem with lag while playing.
Don’t be so quick to thrown blame where it isn’t warranted.

Nonsense. Halo 4 lags like freaking crazy in Co-Op Campaign, Co-Op Spartan Ops and BTB Wargames.
Heres is a real world example of why this happens:

I play 4 other multiplayer games and NONE of them Lag like H4 does. So before you spout the 343 mantra “it’s your connection” - it likely isn’t.
Wait a flipping second…
I’ve spent 11 days in Spartan Ops, have a little over 100000 kills, completed every single mission on every difficulty, and have done every single Challenge to date, and you’re flipping telling me that I can’t use a LightRifle Skin and a Storm Rifle Skin that I’ve been waiting for since Day1!?
What. The. Yoink. Seriously. I’m quite upset right now.
I was wondering why nothing would happen when I modified my loadout in the SpOps pause menu…
The armor part won’t bother me too much since you’re in first person most of the time. The weapon skins however…
I must admit, this is rather disappointing… I gotta say that I was looking forward to using my newly armoured Spartan in Spartan Ops, as well as all the shiny new weapon skins.
But hey, at least we’ll have them in matchmaking, right?
Well, I’m not a regular player of Spartan Ops but still I believe that it’s very disappointing, specially the fact that we can’t use our new armors and skins (I don’t give a damn about the Tactical Packages).
So, I’d really like some input here from 343.
Is this something that’s a glitch, or bug, or something that 343 plans on doing something about? Or is this an “Oh well, deal with it” situation?
'Cause this is a major selling point for me. I wanted to run around with my buddies as an ODST squad, destroying Covenant and Prometheans left and right. Most of my friends won’t even bother looking at the DLC if they can’t.
So, I myself would really like to know… Is this going to get fixed, or are we screwed?
Wait, so was the Bundle released early today?
> Wait, so was the Bundle released early today?
Not at all. Two armour mods were released today in a title update (which don’t work in Spartan Ops) and now that bs angel commented, saying that all Champions Bundle content won’t work in Spartan Ops and Campaign has got a lot of people pissed off. Rightfully so too, there was no mention of this at all.
