Well -Yoinking!- done. I just got done with it, as a matter of fact, I’m replaying some of the missions afterward. In my opinion, the missions were more intense then Firefight. When the Covenant get pissed off, they are PISSED OFF. It’s clearly shown here. I’ve never seen more Elites or Hunters get deployed on a single mission and it really shows the hatred towards humanity by Jul Mdama. The second to last mission was incredible. I never expected a damn Covenant Supercarrier to show up at Valhalla and my first reaction was son of a -Yoink-!! The last mission was Firefight 2.0 in my opinion. After you put Jul Mdama’s associate down. -Yoink- gets real and the Covenant arrive with intent on giving Crimson a death wish or die trying.
Well done 343, well -Yoinking!- done.
I’ve had the best experience of my life in Halo 4 since I beat the Campaign.
Spartan Ops can keep this game alive.
I think the best part is we’re only just getting the story going, it’s gonna get better!
So many Hunters, and so many Spartans on one screen. And the Super Carrier deploying lots of Banshees and Phantoms was just awesome, along with the inclusion of Halsey and the little tension she recieves from Palmer and seeing more of Jul Mdama, also the final mission where Drop Pods come falling down from everywhere, amazing.
I loved playing through this Episode. Great Job 343.
Incredibly good, Ragnarok was a big surprise and the story line is evolving to something actually interesting (the first 2 episodes where ‘meh’). Also i’m loving the fact that when played solo on Heroic tese missions last more than a single Campaign mission on Legendary and are more challenging (well, if you are trying to die te less possible).
I agree this episode really shows the potential of spartan ops. This really brings a sense of scale that campaign was lacking in halo 3.
Yeah this episode was amazing, my mouth dropped when I saw the Carrier over Vahalla…or Ragnarok as its now called. Every chapter was better than anything we’ve ever had before! It really was like the new generation of Firefight.
I hated the Ragnarok missions…
The Second mission was great though.
The First one was boring and the 5th one was monotonous…
But it was still better than last weeks
By far the best Episode so far!
I was a little concerned at first because the first two missions seems a little TOO easy, especially the Complex Map one, me and my 2 other friends beat it in 8 minutes. But the last 2 missions totally made up for it. I hope 343 keeps pushing out deep fun content like this for the rest of Spartan Ops because they truly flexed their programming muscles with it. Having 3 Manti (our plural of mantis) at once while taking on an onslaught of Banshees was awesome.
In addition, I’m not sure if anyone else ran into this little glitch, but did anyone happen to run into the mini-coveys? We ran into them on the 3rd missions and it is by far the most hilarious thing I’ve ever seen in all my years playing Halo.
Recycling spaces from campaign/multiplayer and slapping a crap story on it? Well done!
It’s really good fun, I’m enjoying the heck out of Episode 3. This is the first time I’m going to say this about anything from Halo 4; It’s awesome!
It’s free content so I wouldn’t really argue with it. Besides, in the end it’s all good fun. The storyline presented by the CG scenes is pretty awesome.
> Recycling spaces from campaign/multiplayer and slapping a crap story on it? Well done!
What’s wrong with recycling maps? It’s either that or no Spartan Ops at all. You can’t have expected them to make that many new missions!
The Covie Carrier was a pretty cool twist.
Easily the best Episode to date… The first one was great due to the newness of it, but the second one lacked, due to reused maps. Bringing Ragnarok and Complex into the mix was definitely a great idea, and it was fun as hell to kill covies on these maps for once!
I’m loving this. Can’t wait to see where this goes, and what’ll happen after the first 15 weeks.
Agreed. The moment the CG cutscene goes to the elite side I knew it was going to be awesome, then you have scorpions, mantis, carrier and an assassination mission? Can`t wait to see the next ones!
Shootout in Valhalla was so much fun - and definitely didn’t expect to see the carrier show up.
343, there are no words to describe how happy I am with Episode 3. If I could marry all of you at the same time… I probably still wouldn’t. I’m not into dudes, but I’d marry all the ladies!
Very happy with this. Im on my third play threw in Episode 3
