I think this can be a minor change to Spartan Ops that wouldn’t negatively effect anyone, but benefit most. In the least it will make tracking our kills much easier, and add some excitement back into your more interesting moments. Is anyone else with me?
That would be nice. I wish they would fix the lag. I find Spartan Ops unplayable most of the time. It was the same way in firefight.
Lag is the reason I stopped playing Spartan Ops as Co Op.
That is a shame as I enjoyed the chapters played that way & was making good progress with my SR rating.
It became unbearably laggy a few weeks back & so I am now playing my way through the episodes as solo campaigns.
I find it strange that in the carnage report it shows your biggest kill and points for said kill. In addition to scoring, medals popping up and Jeff should be in there announcing as well. One can dream i guess.

Good point. It’s almost like it was included, but just not turned on. Maybe this will make it easier for them if they ever do decide to give us the scoring back like it was in Reach FF
Which they would do spartan ops and campaign.

Agreed
You get a points listing & it is ultimately of no real consequence.
I presume those totals are just used for placing the players at the end.
I noticed that players could sometimes have slightly fewer kills but finish higher.
I figured they must just have ended up with more points?!
I would love this, and the addition of Skulls and Limited Lives, would make the experience much better. I would love if nothing else, to see them add Firefight back into the game, but let it be a seperate Mode and still have Spartan Ops as well.
It would be nice to have a Firefight Mode that can use the Spartan Op’s Environments, Maps like Apex would be amazing to play Firefight on honestly. We would not have to bother with listening to the Dialogue or Pressing buttons if that is peoples issue with Spartan Ops :P.
The ability to do this is there already, since each Spartan Ops Environment is a single massive Map as a whole most of the time, and they already have the ability to spawn enemies in random locations within these environments.
What’s the point of having points POST match if they don’t show up DURING the match? It makes no sense. Same with campaign. Why have skulls on if not to have scoring? Mythic difficulty? That’s the only reason, I guess.

Good point, it’s as if they do have scoring turned on, but they have it invisible.
A long time ago, I never really used Scoring.
But now I love having it on. Helps me keep track of time, let’s me see those medals, it’s so satisfactory.
I enjoyed the meta game scoring on Halo 3 for obtaining the level achievements for reaching target points etc.
It was enjoyable mixing & matching skulls & settings to reach those targets.
In general with playing the episodes solo I am finding I am somewhere between Heroic & Legendary ability wise.
Some of the episodes I can play Legendary, albeit with a few too many deaths, others
are just too difficult.
For that reason I wouldn’t be keen on limited deaths. At the moment I self regulate
my attempts. If I am absolutely out of my depth in a chapter I leave it & move on.
A lot of my deaths tend to be at bottleneck points followed by immediate death again at re-spawning. Takes time to get through the section & the stats are trashed!
Spartan Ops are a great addition though. I don’t play MM so can use these as mini Campaigns & just look to improve & mess about with strategies etc.
Scoring, yes!

I agree, I like to try out different tactics and load outs in Spartan Ops before I apply them to MM. Overall it’s good practice to. I love Spartan Ops. I personally enjoy it much more than FF.
