I myself prefer Firefight over Spartan Ops. and when I say Firefight I’m not talking about Firefight where you have 2x overshields,unlimited ammo, and unlimited lives. I’m talking about Firefight from odst or Firefight limited from reach where you have a limited amount of lives with no power ups of any sorts. This, in my opinion, is what Firefight should be. It should be more about survival than about who gets the most kills when you greatly outmatch your opponents.
tl;dr Firefight should be more survival than arcade.
Firefight never gave me story or a killing aliens on Vahllha. Spops dialogue does get extremely repetitive though. Is 343 trying to tell us something by having the word Crimson being thrown about every five seconds? lol I find myself enjoying Spartan OPs more so than FF Arcade ;/
I do miss ODST’s FF, it was really fun. I don’t really care if anyone is going to bother telling me how Reach could be so much harder but it just isn’t the same.
I don’t like either of them. If I had to choose one, I would choose spartan ops cause im not sitting around, sniping out of the drop ships or holding out in one area.
I just wish spartan ops had more customization such as skulls.
The only thing I miss is how enemies were slowly increasing.
Spartan Ops can send up to 10 Elites at you if you don’t kill them soon enough. But the worst part is there’s rarely any handy ordnance around. It’s really map dependent. Often, you’ll only get Ordnance Drops for a specific battle. Firefight had the power weapons available from the start to the finish.
FF in ODST was the perfect FF experience. Endless waves VS 1-4 ODST(s). No time limit. Waves were not predicable. And you helped each other out, instead of trying to get first place.
SO is great if you love the story of Halo. Games, books, and movies. However even with the fantastic cut-seances and in game dialogue, SO falls short in the game play department. If they took out the endless respawns, I could see myself having much more fun. As it is right now, SO on legendary is a joke.
Spartan Ops is basically Firefight with a story attached to it…i dont see how people can like firefight over spartan ops…dont get me wrong i lurrrrrvvved me some good ole firefight back in odst and reach but cmon people.
Im going with option three and saying both. Firefight was a blast and was a nice way to take a break from Multiplayer. Spartan Opts adds story and a differnt style to the game and have come to love it. Love both and wish we had both
I’ve actually come to enjoy Spartan Ops. This week’s episode was crazy. Doesn’t anyone remember Shootout in Vahalla, where you got unlimited manti and the enemy was throwing EVERYTHING at you? Like ten hunters, dozens of phantoms and banshees. It was pretty crazy. I can’t wait to see how crazy they make it with future episodes.
At the moment, I will go with Fire Fight. If Spartan Ops had some actual in game cut scenes that actually feature your armor, then I would be more inclined to chose SpOps over FF. But as it stands, SpOps just comes off as a limited FF as opposed to a alternate campaign that it was touted to be.
