AWESOME. Just finished playing it with my friends and we were all loving every mission.
SPOILERS*
First off, meeting Halsey and seeing everyone’s reaction to her was great. Seeing alot of the fiction and game meet in a quick 5 minutes really makes the universe come alive.
I also loved seeing the storm or whatever they’re designated, have an actual leader who seems moderately intelligent. Nice to have a face to target, which this episode also gave.
VIP was great being able to destroy enemies with everyone tanks. Very enjoyable and an experience I’ve sorely missed since Halo3.
Galileo was okay really, but I hate complex so I’m biased against it.
Spartan Mountain was also amazing! It was so much fun to run through Valhalla fighting massive amounts of enemies. And the amount of hunters was epic. Truly a fight to remember.
Shootout in Valhalla was also amazing and my favorite mission so far. It was great having to hold out against waves of enemies. And when we heard a cruiser was coming, all 4 of us freaked out. Then the Mantis’s arrived and we got to kicking all of the -Yoink-. A few times we realized we were lining up in an old school firing line, just shooting everything that came in sight.
Hunting Trip was great fun too but I’m sad I missed my chance to nail the target. My friend got the honor instead and it really makes me want to play the mission again to get him.
The gameplay this episode was amazing and very, very fun. But I want to punch the -Yoink- that said the Ops were easy. This week was very difficult at times, sometimes almost wiped us out.
Spartan Ops is by far my favorite part of Halo4 so far. While wargames are okay (patching would make them great) the Ops stand out as something completely new and very fun. I look forward each week to monday so I can watch the new episode and kill the new waves of enemies. I love seeing the characters interact and think, especially when what’s happening to us seems to impact them. Like when Palmer freaked out multiple times when we needed some serious help.
So, thanks for the new experience! I’m loving Ops and I hope the rest of the series stays just as invigorating. I’ll definitely buy the next season if you decide to do one.
