Alright, from watching the panels and all possible videos on Halo 4 (that are currently out) I have one MAJOR question.
NOW this is what I think the games setup will be like with the intro of Spartan Ops.
Master Chief’s Campaign - 1-Player Single
Spartan Ops - 4-Player Campaign Co-op
Multiplayer (8v8, etc. etc.)
Because it seems to me with SOps they plan to make THAT the Co-op experience rather then having 3 other players tag along side Chief. @SDCC they announced there will be 50 total missions spanning over 10 weeks.
In a way they’re taking from CoD and BF a bit as far as Campaign, Co-op, and Online goes. This is the way I believe it to be setup… but nobody at any panel has dared asked this question.
NOR, has anyone at 343 even stated if there will be Co-op in Chief’s Campaign. I highly doubt there will because Chief is alone and stranded essentially on Requiem. So who would be there to help him? Nobody.
Plus, it’s HIS return and HIS story. So why not go through it alone to really get a sense of feel for the Chief and Cortana again?
Please tell me I’m right in this sense, if not prove me wrong and give substantial proof. Thanks!
It was confirmed somewhere that Campaign will feature Chief clones like Halo CE & Halo 2 did, maybe not for the full game, on certain levels, we could play as Spartan IVs, but for now, we know we are Chief clones.

There’s your answer ^
though I don’t know how they’re going to get the first person view action cutscenes in middle of gameplay to work with 2-4 other players.
@The Little Moa - Proof? Link of some sort maybe… lol
I really hope they don’t do that. Because in a way it seems to me that’s the whole purpose of Spartan Ops. To forge a new Co-op Campaign experience that’s personal to your Spartan. And to replace Firefight in a sense as well… kind’ve a merging of both worlds IMO.
I wish we could get a dev to give some insight! <343

I don’t have a source for you, but I believe it might have been Frankie who said it on GAF, the co-op characters are just Chief clones, trust me on that.
