Well, as most of you know, Spartan Ops is an “episodic coop adventure.”
It will be have EPISODES, which are broken down into individual missions. Released every weak over a span of several months. That sounds like spartan ops in its entirety is a whole lot of content.
It was said earlier on (ON THIS PAGE) that spartan ops is equal to the size and scope of campaign. Imagine:
Even if the missions are small.
1 mission, every week.
4 weeks in a month.
Many months.
Even if the missions are 15 minutes or an hour. Its still going to be longer than the campaign of any previous halo game.
Not nessisarily. The campaign is different. Its all in one package while this thing spartan ops releases episodes. It’s like compareing a movie to a TV show.

You are missing the point. They said spartan ops and the campaign are equal in size.
Hopefully, if we’ll get 15 longer missions, that are hard, I’ll probably kiss the person responsible’s feet. Not Library hard but still harder than PoA, and everything in between. That would be beyond awesome.
Well say that the campaign takes 3 hours to complete. The episodes may take 15 minutes to complete you do the math while i do something else please

Frankie has even said that the campaign is HUGE. It never dawned on me until now.
spartan ops is just mini campiagn missions, or as you put it, episodes …

That would be disappointing to say the least. 3 hour campaign? Even H3 did better…

Missions make episodes.
Episodes form the full thing.
1 mission every week.
4 weeks in a month.
Every month. Over several months.
That IS big, even if the missions are just 15 minutes.
52 weeks in a year
~30 min est per mission
30 x 52
1560 min
1560 min = 26 hours
Basically…
If each Spartan Ops Mission is roughly 15 minutes, the Campaign will be about 8 hours.
If each Spartan Ops Mission is roughly 30 minutes, the Campaign will be about a day long (24 hours).
If each Spartan Ops Mission is roughly 45 minutes, the Campaign will be about a day and three quarters long (45 hours).
If each Spartan Ops Mission is roughly 1 hour, the Campaign will be about two days (52 hours).
I think what is going to separate Spartan-Ops from Campaign is that each Spartan-Ops mission will be focused more on an individual theme while the campaign will focus on what works for the story.
To elaborate: Each Spartan-Ops mission could be designed around a specific gameplay style such as a Lone Wolf-style survival mission, a T&R/Nightfall-style Sniping mission, etc. which will make these missions almost like their own game modes making them endlessly replayable unlike the regular campaign which will most likely be filled with mixes of each and in smaller doses.

Problem. We dont know how many missions make an episode.

This thread refers to the LENGTH at which the campaign will be.
See the post above you.
Well. This thread died fast…
THat page says there are 5 missions an episode
It really just sounds like a good way to sell lots of DLC, since I bet their forge world will be amazing and they won’t force people to buy DLC to play online.
