So apparently, neither Firefight nor Spartan Ops will be in the game. According to them, Warzone is there to “replace” them. Are they out of their mind??I seriously doubt it if they have actually played the previous Halo games properly or not.
Here’s the source for the people who want to see it. Watch after the 5:00 minute mark.
Both Firefight and Spartan Ops had mixed receptions.
Spartans Ops was a cool idea, but is really just better accomplished with the TV series.

Spartan Ops, yes, but firefight was very loved by Halo fans. This is a huge blow.
With every bit of information being released for this game, my excitement is waning incredibly fast.
Maybe they truly have no idea what they’re doing at 343?
Warzone essentially is firefight only with PVP mixed in.
To be honest im okay with not having Firefight or Spartan Ops… And now that can play last gen games on the one you can just pop in Halo: Reach to play firefight or get on hmcc to play ops!

We haven’t had FF since Reach, and it wasn’t the same incarnation as ODST. In a way, the FF in Reach was an EXP boost-fest in some regards. There was a lot of “get one kill and then hide for the entire match” happening. The custom versions like all snipers or rockets just cheapened the experience as well. There was no real struggle to get to the next round. It became too easy. Now, if they were to bring in the original ODST FF? I’m all on board. But the Reach version needs to not be a thing.
Watch this halo fanboys make up excuses of why it doesn’t matter.

You could make the settings in Reach match ODST for the most part. Reach’s firefight just had way more options. I personally liked the mode where you had to defend the generators. I’m just disappointed with all the stuff that’s getting dropped.

No customs for Warzone. What if I just wanted to play around with the maps? I don’t care if there’s AI running around. When they announced that the maps would be huge, I got so excited just to explore them. Find easter eggs. Try to get of the map. etc.
-
No Splitscreen for Campaign. Personally I don’t care if it’s in MP or not. But couch Co-op is one the best parts of Halo. What if I wanted to play with my son or fiancé? I can’t afford to spend another 400 on an second xbox one.

No firefight or Spartan ops. I’m sorry but Warzone is not a replacement for these. It’s a totally different mode, that is filled with gimmicks.

That’s a very stupid thing to say. Don’t we need those modes in our newer games?Of course we do.That’s like saying we would be okay if they didn’t include Multiplayer in Halo 5 at all. We can play Multiplayer in the previous games as well…can’t we?So why do we need it in Halo 5?

This. Same here mate.

I’m a huge Halo fan and this is extremely disappointing. Can’t wait until they announce how limited forge will be…
Welp, the more I know about the game the less I’m excited. Seriously, forge better be some next lvl stuff or else this is the end of halo. Thank you 343 for ruining a franchise I once loved
Seriously?
This is very disappointing…
Warzone isn’t the PVE experience to look out for like Spartan ops or firefight…
- You can’t do custom warzones apparently
- It’s not a mode you can do offline
- What if I just want to go shoot stuff and relax? Can’t do that with warzone as it still is a competitive PVP mode.
- Warzone doesn’t even have that many enemies!
Halo is supposed to have a lot of content compared to other games… Ugh…
Well this is very disappointing… Firefight was a blast, especially if done properly like it was in ODST. Spartan Ops was a great concept, it did not deserve to be thrown int he gutter so quickly.
While Warzone is a neat idea that I’m sure I’ll enjoy, I feel like it’s more of a replacement for Invasion than Firefight or Spartan Ops. I hope 343i reconsiders this decision in the future. After all, wouldn’t a Season of Spartan Ops be a great idea for DLC?

Yeah this whole “Biggest Halo game ever” is looking more and more like marketing BS. I wish Bonnie Ross would keep her mouth shut and stop saying -Yoink- that isn’t true.
Yeah it seems like Warzone has become 343’s excuse for everything…
The community created a thread about demanding playable elites, which was around since Halo 4’s release (never saw something like that). But they didn’t include it, I’m okay with that because I don’t play as an elite but it sucks for our friends with the energy swords.
-> 343 says: Yeah they aren’t in but hey we developed Warzone
A vast majority of the community asked for invasion, but it won’t be there…
Buuuut: Hey we made Warzone
Firefight was something that people really were looking forward to and it seemed highly likely that it would make its return in its old shiny glory with different modes à la ODST/Reach and for sure costum games. Didn’t happen,
but 343 gave us Warzone, which by the way has no costum game option and isn’t anywhere near firefight, but who could not love this baby?
Did I forget about something? Oh yeah right the most played game mode across all Halo titles isn’t available at launch (come on we all saw 343’s definition of “shortly after launch” with ranks in the MCC), but you guess what? Right Warzone is available at launch!!!
Not that someone gets me wrong here I like how Warzone looks and I think I might enjoy it, but using it as an excuse to not include features demanded in numerous, massive threads and leaving the most popular playlist ever out at launch, just to make people who want some bigger action than 4vs4 play it because there isn’t an alternative anyways (Quick reminder: Successful promotion doesn’t work this way!) seems really poor…
Congrats 343 you finally developed something yourself and it doesn’t even seem to be broken👍 but just don’t use this as an excuse for missing community favorites. I don’t know what’s worse: Yoinking a game (MCC) and don’t speak to the community for months or leaving beloved features the vast majority requested out and use a single game mode as the excuse for that? (Btw: Seems like theatre is MP only)
Edit: Split screen is out too at least for campaign. Where is this Halo game 343 talks about as the “biggest Halo game ever.of all time.” ??
troll/angry mode off

If you’re suggesting the core of Halo is Firefight and Spartan OPs… I seriously doubt it if you have actually played previous Halo games properly or not.
Well that sucks. I can live without Spops but Fire Fight was what I was hoping the premiere offline mode would be, yet it’s looking like Halo 5 lacks any offline options beyond the campaign and limited multiplayer.
I don’t know where you have been buddy but 343 confirmed all long -Yoink- time ago that they would not be making a Spartan Ops season 2. And Warzone is basically Firefight so there wasn’t going to be firefight. I knew all this already
