is this on yt? dumb phone 
oh its sounds sooooo AWESOME!!!
I noticed how the Reticule looked similar to Reachās. Could be a concern for some people.
I think this is my biggest reason to be excited for Halo 4. If anything, I just want to see how the hell 343 will be handling this. Plus, they were talking about five missions every WEEK. FOR FREE. WHAT.
This is exactly the kind of thing that some companies would nickel and dime the life out of you for. But 343 is doing this for free. Are they going to cutting corners? Are they applying the word āmissionsā very generously? How closely does this actually tie into Halo 4ās campaign?
Iām also excited that the Spartan that we create for Multiplayer is also getting some love in Spartan Ops. Will our loadouts carry over, as well?
I donāt know about you guys, but Iām almost frothing at the mouth for more information on this. Curse you 343, I wasnāt trying to hype myself up too much for this!
AHH SO MUCH COOLER THAN EA!

I try to avoid being hyped over games now because of my experience with Mass Effect 3. LOL

we had a right to be hyped. just like we had a right for a decent ending. Stay strong, my brother. Hold the line.
Nothing we didnāt already know, really, but I think itās better explained. It sounds like such an awesome addition. I love the fact theyāre integrating story and MP. Iām more of a story person, so the fact that I have more narrative to look forward to after finishing the Campaign - that I can experience with friends - is brilliant. Itāll bring more attachment between players and their Spartan, as well. Seeing your developed character play out in a cutscene, and meet other characters from the main Campaign will be super sweet. When Iām playing competitive MP Iāll also have the mindset of āIām getting better for the next missionā; which makes sense considering itās a training simulation. Wonder if weāll be introduced to a new race when exploring the galaxy.
Like that their treating the Infinity much like a character, and not just a ship you train on. Will be interesting to see how much we see of it.

Iām hoping we can see our spartan in a cut scene with the chief at some point, I will die happy if I get to see that, lol Iāll probably be jumping up and down on the couch, god I hope they do this when the chief crosses paths with the infinity

Exactly. Iām a little skeptical about this. Especially the free part. I just donāt see how 343i is going to keep up with making 5 MISSIONS EVERY WEEK! And CG cutscenes too? I mean they will have a headstart, but when exactly are they going to stop making missions?
Seems too good to be true.
Iām hoping they have a team of designers dedicated to S.O. And hopefully season one will be done and waiting to roll out on dip release day with them working on season two for awhile before the first season is done

I just moved on. And it wasnāt just the ending I had issues with ME3.
What Iām getting it is that people should be cautious over too much advertisement when we arenāt getting lots of information on the game and not work themselves over too much being excited to be utterly be disappointed and outraged.
So far I see a lot of effort to inform the people.
Im really excited about Spartan Ops I hope they ad achievements each week with the missions.
Is it really FREE, or do you still have to get Live Gold to play these story missions?
> Is it really FREE, or do you still have to get Live Gold to play these story missions?
I would assume youāll have to have Gold to be able to download the content, then again, buying gold online costs around 30-40$ for a year, well worth the money compared to te regular DLC prices ^^
After all, Halo is a MP game and MS number one reason to sell Gold subscriptopns world wide (until CoD came along), and itās the major reason there wonāt be bots for Halo, peopel might stop buying gold if they could play 16 player games offline with bots.
Spartan Ops sounds epic! I canāt wait to try it!

Iām loving what 343i are doing here too and the fact itās free for good while is a bonus!
However Iām sure this will lead into paid DLC or subscription based services in the future. Which I am more than happy to pay for Spartan Ops to continue. It would be fantastic to have a dedicated team churning out content weekly or monthly once the initial free period has expired.
