So I was wondering why there aren’t many topics discussing spartan Ops. There should be more focus on the topic! We know story wise that the Multiplayer Matchmaking is training for the Spartan Operation Missions. I was wondering what they were training for in the Matchmaking. Think about it if we are fighting therye g other spartans in matchmaking would that give us an idea that maybe we would fight some sort of spartans in the Spartan Ops Missions. I personally dont believe that would be the case but it surely could make sense. This brings me to my second question, since there might be an invasion game type and possibly a new species to play as in replace of the elites, would it be training to fight this possible enemy? I also have another question about the timeline that Spartan Ops takes place in. Is it before the Infinity finds Requiem or after. This will be a very important factor that will go along with the campaign. If it is before Requiem we may only fight Covenant or a wide range of enemies that come from different planets that the Missions take place in. Will we be fighting more species in Spartan Ops than we will be fighting in the normal campaign? We will be going to other planets who possibly have different situations and are inhabited with their own species and life. Or will the missions be focused on destroying Covenant occupied areas and possibly the new enemy? There are many Questions to ask and I hope you share your question too!
We could be fighting innies. If not, then I reckon we’ll be fighting rogue Elites who have Grunts, Jackals etc under their command.

i dont know how i would feel about fighting innies it would seem to get repetitive really quickly
I dont understand why Good discussion topics get less attention that topics about how someone hates this game 
because people on the forums are drawn into stupid arguments its sucks i know
A person is more interested in something they can disagree with, that’s why. A disagreement makes for more opinions, thus leading to longer attention for a singular topic.
If everyone were to just agree on everything, this would be a very dull sub-forum.
On the relevant topic though, this is a good thread to have been made. I personally take the “Objective-Based Missions” part very seriously, and think of them as being told to assassinate a certain person, bring a bomb to a specific location, or deploy troops over a specific drop zone.
Think of it as Halo Wars (not the game engine itself). Halo Wars is a real-time strategy game, where every single second those against you are moving closer and closer to strategic locations to claim your base or another. Your job is to have WHICHh troops WHERE at WHAT time to make sure that the enemy can’t do that. You can’t just send in a load of Marines against a Vulture or a Scarab (unless they’re ODST’s, lol). You have to plan an attack or a defense, with minimal time to do so.
I personally believe that Spartan Ops will work in a similar Objective-based manner, but without the RTS engine, of course. Basically, you’ll have to plant this specific target at a drop zone in enough time to get the job done; and get out of there. Spartans aren’t Marines; they get given the toughest of jobs with the most minimal window of time possible, because they can fulfill them.
I’m not entirely sure about all of this. Once E3 comes and they show a little bit of spartan ops then we could get a good picture. Anyway I do hope the missions are very interesting and that they tell a great story. : )
There’s not much discusion about spartan ops because there’s nothing to really go on as of now but once we get our first look I’m sure people will start talking about it more.
I think Spartan Ops should get more attention even though not much has been shown. same for multiplayer. Thats why I think more people should be saying what they hope it will be. I cant wait for E3 though! I hope they share a lot of information.
Thanks for the link ( I saw it already) But I hope they Show A LOT.

Just making sure 
They’ll show Spartan OPs for sure and i hope we get some details on the MP Matchmaking side as well. Ranked and trueskill to be specific (though this is doubtful). We’ll probably see a Campaign demonstration but on the first level or something.
That’s my predictions.
I hope all the missions are diverse. I dont want to spend too many missions in a simular area or background. I also hope that there are many different types of objectives. Rather than making your way through a level there should be more defensive objective.
I just want to know if I can play Spartan ops offline without gold and split screen. I hope I can.
Also what is the new species we can play as ? (if we can)
