Spartan ops. For Halo 5 Gaurdians

I’v been a fan of Halo for a while now, and I have loved all the games so far. Then I played Spartan ops. For halo 4 . I really enjoyed Spartan ops because it brought more to the game and gave us more on the story line. I don’t know about anyone else but I’d love it if there was a Spartan ops for Halo 5 Gaurdians.

Link to a POLL about this topic.

I’d love if there was a Spartan Ops storyline in halo 5 as well. Although, because the first one wasn’t very successful, I doubt they’ll do another one.

Spartan Ops from halo 4 was a great idea executed VERY badly and here’s why :

  • Most characters were poorly written, bland and forgettable. - Sarah Plamer was a -Yoink-. And shooting Halsey definitely didn’t help. - The missions took place on campaign locations and multiplayer maps which was lazy and it felt very repetitive. - Every plot point was either dropped entirely, anticlimactically resolved in Escalation or just concluded in the first mission of halo 5If Spartan Ops is to ever return to halo it must be heavily improved.

I loved the amount of exp you gained. You could easily rank up to max level in hours.

Some of the Multiplayer maps worked really well. And they did make a few areas exclusively for Spartan Ops.

Down side is we went there way to much. And that was a huge problem.

i never understood why it was recived so bad…i mean even if it wasnt the greatest storyline, it was a full campaine for the game for free.

I loved the idea of Spartan Ops in Halo 4. Weekly missions with an episodic story were a blast, I loved finishing off every Monday night by hopping on with my brother and going through the new Spartan Ops missions.

That being said, the execution was unfortunately rather poor. Most of of the characters were badly handled (Palmer constantly rambling about eggheads was quite terrible, and Fireteam Majestic was composed mainly of dudebros), the fact that many levels were either reused from multiplayer/campaign and then repeated 4-5 times proved to create very repetitive gameplay, and while the overarching story was very interesting (Halsey going was a cool idea) were ultimately shoved into a badly written comic. Once the second half of the season was introduced, I loved the new gameplay areas. They felt fresh and well designed, and there were more interesting elements to the missions.

I would love for a second season of Spartan Ops that’s actually properly handled with quality and care.

I feel If there was Spartain ops in halo 5 guardians, then they would have to add a co op element, because I loved playing Spartain ops with my brother on the same Xbox. ( which by the way was one of my few disappointments about the game). And if they did add Spartain ops to halo 5, then I would want them to bring back Fireteam Majestic, or even give us a chance to play as Palmer.

I feel like they can do so much with Spartain ops for halo 5, like taking down a guardian, More story line about the swords of sanghelios, they can even bring in some flood levels.

It was fun to play with friends or if you had nothing better to do and didn’t want to play multiplayer. However it got old fast because it was just ‘go here kills these enemies’, ‘go here hit this button’ making it quite a bland experience after a while.

If I was 343i and I was making Spartain ops for halo 5, I would change that and maybe add weekly missions that have never been done. Like not make a new map each week, but place new objectives in those maps. To make it interesting , and again they could use the flood in the missions.

Good ideas, not too sure how difficult it would be to put into practice. I imagine if they used the same maps and just added different objectives for those maps and kept it fresh it wouldn’t be too difficult to make.

Exactly, and it would be fun. Plus if you completed them then you could get bonus REQ points or something :slight_smile:

? It’s only a couple of weeks old. I’m more concerned about the misspelling of Spartan every single time.
It’s probably too far into this game’s life to hope for this. I think if they do add Spartan Ops back in they should do away with the cinematic parts. Just stick with doing cut-scenes using the in game assets. The reusing of levels wouldn’t bother me much as long as there is a lot of variety overall. We’re probably stuck with Palmer but I’d rather have the next iteration just focus on our fireteam instead of Majestic vs Crimson. Leave it kind of vague. Make the context of the story that all of the Infinity Spartans are doing similar things so they can keep it intact lore wise. You’re just one of many Spartans in one of many fireteams deployed.

I would love to have spartan opps in halo 6, i liked being my own hero again.

And maybe they could encorporate forged maps in it ? ( Halo 6 that is )
