I myself have been a big fan of the story as well as multiplayer. You’ll find me as willing to defend Reach as much as I’m willing to destroy another team in Big Team.
I just read and viewed the whole article online in perfect scans, and Spartan Ops is even better than I thought it was based off what I already read!
Every week there will be a new fully animated cinematic starring our own players with 1-4 player play, and not 1, or 2, or 3, or 4 missions! FIVE objective based missions every week for months on end! Involving UNSEEN events, types of challenges, and LOCATIONS.
Their pretty much saying there is going to be 1-5 free DLC co-op locations every week with 5 missions involving those locations.
All FREE also, every bit of it. In the article the devs say that they don’t believe in charging for it and it’s included in the price for the game.
And these weekly things will not expire either. A guy who picks up the game a year later can play through it all.
Not to mention the possible achievements involved with this! Imagine getting an achievement for every week of missions you complete. Your GS is going to go high.
I don’t care if you guys say 343i is catering to casuals, ‘ruining’ competitive, all that…this thread isn’t about that. 343i really freaking cares about Halo and the fans. Can you imagine how much man power it takes to do what their doing with Spartan Ops?
Anyway enough of that, Spartan Ops does indeed sound amazing, the concept alone is impressive, but to slowly but consistently add content every week…that is genius, it gives Players a reason to come back every week, and it gives the ridiculously dedicated Players variety, they get to play the hell out of the same things for a week, then the next something completely new to play…
Needless to say I’m looking forward to hearing and seeing more and can not possibly wait to actually get to play it…
> Well that makes up for the lack of Firefight. Times, oh I don’t know, OVER 9,000!
I think it’s evident with 343i’s Management of Halo Reach’s Firefight that they aren’t really that much of a fan of it…I mean there’s limitless customization and possibility with it, yet the only “Update” they gave it was the Anniversary Playlist…
…Though that being said, I do enjoy the hell out of that Playlist…
Either way I’d prefer this “Spartan Ops”, it sounds like it encapsulates everything I’d want from a Survival/Co-op Mode, sustainable variety and supported content…

The more I hear about this the more I love it. Thanks 343I
I’m sure for probably at least one mission a week, probably the ‘extraction’ mission where you are picked up to go back to the Infinity it is a hold out objective. A good couple waves and time of classic alien slaughter!
Spartan Ops sounds awesome and Im okay with it replacing firefight. it will probably be really fun doing missions side by side with other spartan IV’s.
I read the thread title and was so close to full on nerd-raging at another whining child who hasn’t understood the changes but it was such a breath of fresh air to see someone being sensible.
