Here is an unoriginal idea:
I propose a better version of SpartanOps:
- Have story like missions with an end boss fight the stories should expand Halo cannot but should not be related to the Main story of Halo. NOTE: These stories should be self-contained and not split into episodes like Spartan Ops.
- Four Spartan mission where you play as your own Spartan IV.
- The 4 Spartan team should be one of these 3 options (all available):
3.1 User-made - you assemble your team.
3.2 Match-made - You join a playlist with random people (I kind of like this because of the element of randomness of play-stiles)
3.3 AI substitutions like in the missions, either partial or full substations or Solo (this is necessary because matchmaking kills games when nobody plays them, tried playing Prison of Elders in Destiny yesterday and it could not find any people and I like to play games when it suits me). - Have at least 10 on these missions.
- Every missions should not play the same each time you do it but randomize enemies except the final boss - this should keep things fresh.
DISCLAIMER: This is like Destiny strikes but better because each mission should have a proper story and context on what you accomplish and it is Halo so there is no beating that for a lot of people. Also for me SpartanOps came before Destiny Strikes so not stealing anything from anyone just improving what was there in Halo 4.
