It depends, if they listen to more feedback, change up the environments, keep improving the dialogue, and stop with the -Yoink!- BUTTON PRESSING… Probably 800 MS points. Most of the DLC for Halo games is around 800 MS points anyways, so I’m guessing that is what the price will be, if they do make another Season.

I highly suggest you try episode 6 onward, you stopped just as they started introducing new environments. I think there have been at least 6 in the past 3 episodes, with the environments that are being revisited playing differently each time.
I would honestly pay as much as is asked within a reasonable amount. I’ve loved Spartan Ops so far, especially the story elements. Even if I hesitated to buy it at first I would probably buy it after a little while due to curiosity, within a reasonable price of course.

The second half started off strong and has quickly become boring again. Unless they finish strong, really strong, my answer is $0. Two out of eight have been good. That doesn’t warrant me throwing them more cash. If they finish strong, I’d pay maybe 400 points for next season. Maybe.
Probably around 10 or 15 dollars I’ve been pretty content with spartan ops. Mainly the second half of season 1. The first half was a little slow, story-wise.
Nothing. They’d have to change the direction they’re taking it to interest me. Instead of having the missions run alongside an interesting story that you (Crimson) don’t participate in, I’d prefer to play the role of the main characters in the story (Majestic), and have the story more heavily influence gameplay, not unlike a campaign.
In the future, I think they should focus on quality over quantity. Fifty missions really doesn’t mean much when it’s hard to distinguish one experience from another.
if i had to pay i would be willing to pay 800 Microsoft points, but i would like to think that we get it for free or atleast the limited edition owners
0€. The videos are awesome, but the gameplay itself isn’t. Once I’ve completed an episode, I don’t see a reason to go back and replay it. Lag that makes headshots impossible, same maps in every freakin’ episode, and just boring gameplay. The gameplay is boring because there are no variants. Firefight had “snipers only” and “FRG/Rockets only” game modes for example. And gruntpocalypse :). (And I don’t recall Firefight ever having serious lag) With Spartan Ops it’s always just “Keep firing that DMR for fifteen minutes and that’s it.” The only satisfaction is when the XP starts rolling.
Edit: That said, I would still gladly play Season 2 if it was FREE. As I said, the videos are awesome. And they could change the chapters if they listen to fan feedback. I’d rather have 2-3 longer missions with new environments than 5 missions with environments that I know inside and out. There’s so much potential here and I hate to see it go to waste. I mean, they could reaaally make this unforgettable if they took the Spartan Ops missions to the quality level of the campaign.(And if this was the case, I would pay 800-1200 msp without a doubt) Imagine having a mission with a huge convoy of Warthogs and Scorpions (most of which would be AI controlled) and some air support from Pelicans. That kind of -Yoink- would be AWESOME.
But now we just run around the same little maps all over again. “Hey look, now they are dropping troops behind you. Oh look, now they are dropping troops at that location. Whoahh! Now they’re back at where you started! You’ve only seen this map like 8 times now, so it’s still pretty exciting, right?”
