Custom Loadouts in Spartan OPs

I wonder if Spartan Ops will be like Campaign, so you spawn with pre set weapons, OR if you’ll get to choose your load out before you start the mission?

I would love to be able to choose what weapons Im taking into the fight! I mean we’re already playing as our own Spartan IV’s, right? I think it would be a much more personal and cooler experience if we could access the armoury before drop podding into the mission.

If you’re doing co-op mode, then you could have some specialise as your sniper and someone as your recon (active camo) etc etc which would be cool.


Problems I can see with this though are using level breaking AA’s, such as jet pack, which people could just use to skip chunks of the level.

To fix this, maybe before starting the level (instead of choosing a custom loadout, like in MM) you should spawn in an ARMOURY-type room. There should be an array of weapons and (suitable) AA’s for you to choose from. You can then proceed to the hangar where the mission will start…

This would also serve as a cool little LOBBY whilst the level loads.

What do you guys think?

EDIT: In the armoury, there wouldnt be any OP stuff like Rocket launchers or anything. Just AR’s, BR’s, DMR’s and Magnums etc. But deffo a sniper rifle.

ALSO, once you’ve run out of ammo with your weapons during the campaign, you’ll just have to make do with what you can find off of enemies or dead allies.

I like that. That’s a fine suggestion. :smiley:

I strongly think yes…

Maybe add separate ranks for the spartan ops, so when you rank up you gain more classes, like the multiplayer (it seems).

But at the moment just wait until E3.

Thats a great idea! And yes definitely, can’t wait for E3! :smiley:

Lol, I thought about how annoying it is to have someone throwing down ammo packs in front of your prone position in BF3. Be interesting if a player with right perk can call down a ammo drop while in Spartan Ops. Nothing like having a weapons drop land on you in firefight for the amusement of all.

Pretty cool idea. I remember that someone already made a thread about “spartan barracks” where you wait when campaign or spartan ops downloads. I’d like this to happen. :slight_smile:

Sure, it would be awesome if you could to some degree customize what weapon you would spawn with and maybe even AAS depending on mission. After all, one player might want to be support (DMR) while the other runs in guns blazing (AR), and change roles the next time they play :slight_smile:
