So, I know it may to late in production to construct such a thing, but I had an idea of a new mode that may be welcome in Halo 5. As many of you know Spartan Ops kinda replaced Firefight in Halo 4. I was thinking that Halo 5 should possibly ditch the concept of how Spartan Ops was linear to the story that acted successor to Halo 4’s main campaign and go a different route.
The thought came up that it would be cool to “relive” iconic battles that happened before Halo 5’s time. A player and three of his friends would be thrusted into the boots of a Spartan, who likely ended up dying, and would be able to play through the last bits of their story.
The layout of it all would be structured kinda like this:
A short backstory would be given in the style of how the Halo Terminals were given to us which would divulge information as to who the spartan was, what his/her mission was and what was taking place during that time in the universe. After that the player would be swept away into the Spartan’s visor and would have to play through assorted missions up to the end of that iconic Halo battle.
Personally, I think it would be fun to have more of the expanded lore that was in-game.
If I had to choose my top 3 picks, I’d like to play as:
Spartan Joshua-029
Spartan Samuel-034
and
Spartan Kurt-051
Other than that, I’d also like to play as some of the Spartan III’s that were in Beta Company, the Spartan II’s of Black Team, when Johnson was a Spartan I, and other Spartan II’s that died on Reach.
Thoughts on this idea?
And if you like it, who would you like to end up playing as?
