From what I have read on the forum somthing that most of us can agree on is that we think the name Spartan Ops isn’t perfect. I can understand why they are using it, Spec Ops is a gaming household name by now and putting the name ops in it will make it easier for new halo gamer or just casual gamers that don’tt hang around on forums to understand what the game mode is about, but come on 343 it sounds so stupid and when there is a really perfect name for the mode in the halo universe already.
Assuming you haven’t read any of the books, there is a short story in Halo Evolution volume 1 named Headhunters. Headhunters are specially picked Spartan 3s who goes behind enemy line to do some kind of spec op missions, they work in pairs an are called headhunters. It would not be that farfetched to think that UNSC would have continued this with the Halo 4s
I don’t know about you but sounds like something we will do in “spartan ops”. So yeah there you have it. Spartan Ops isn’t a huge problem but I thought I would put it out there. Headhunter Missions
