“The new Spartan Ops mode will support up to four players and feature online campaign-like missions, with its own movie sequences and backstory, offering players another means of experiencing Halo lore – particularly that surrounding the UNSC Infinity and the Spartan IVs.”
Its ON!
Behold:http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h353/chark19/SpartanOps.png
With the Ol’ Covenant out of the way (for like four years, was it?) the UNSC will have even bigger fish to fry! Forerunners? Rogue-Covenant? Human Rebels?!
And, Objective based missions?! Maybe some Search and Rescue, followed by “Deliver X from point A to point B”?! AWESOME! What do you think?!
I am both happy and sad at the same time. Happy at the new, exciting game mode that delivers fresh content weekly, and sad that Firefight is gone. Also, I just hope that Spartan Ops is playable with 2 players, as most of my gaming buddies have hung up their controllers over the years for boring careers.
I can’t wait for MP that intertwined with lore and the campaign, maybe even a shot or two of our customized SPARTAN IV in a cutscenes or two with the chief!!! SQEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
> I look forward to what Spartan Ops has to offer. I do hope, however, that they change the name.

> I am also saddened that they removed FF. I enjoyed just relaxing some nights and killin’ me some Covenant Grunts in Gruntpocalypse.
I’m gonna miss that, but I’m pumped for this wild new frontier
Although it is very funny I have to correct you. If the mission was called No human than it would be humans and not elites as “No Russian” meant speak no Russian so they think we are American.

Well, nothing in that game made much sense to begin with, but yeah.
This new feature really seems amazing. I can’t believe 343i is going to put out that much content every week. The first few months of the games release is going to be epic! This paired with instant spawn playlists, and ranked playlists will create quite the population for the games future.

God I’m glad to see sane ppl again, I think I have PTSD thanks to all the noobs that logged on just to whine
Anyone have a guess at how long your average mission will take? I hope it’s challenging all while fun and casual… and maybe a bit time consuming. Seeing I have a feeling they put some dedicated time into these missions. Hopefully it isn’t cheap redundant missions like arm the bomb, and reach invasion gameplay… something a bit more unique like the campaign.

The article I read, and quoted about half of, said Spartan Ops was about as big as the Master Chiefs solo story mode! Thats gotta be HUGE! Right?!
I’d say, each mission is about 30mins depending on the difficulty!

I’m hoping the missions will be pretty decent in length, more so than Spec Ops at least.
The one thing I want to hear about is how customizable these missions are.
I’m not expecting a scenario editor, but options like those found in FF would be good imo.
