Playing the same 6-7 maps is getting extremely old. I feel like Spartan Ops is the most lazy thing to ever come out of halo.
No variety at all and we have been playing the same 5 scenarios on the same maps for 4 weeks now.
It honestly cant be that hard to take a multiplayer map, or a section out of campaign and use that rather than the same exact spartan op maps each week.
It makes the story really BS too… You use a teleporter you have no idea where it goes. OH HEY I’M AT THE SAME SPOT I’VE BEEN TO 6 TIMES ALREADY… Seriously just give us Firefight back and give up on it if thats what this is going to be
What urks me the most is the dialog. I hate how the commanders either argue with each other or make a really lame joke. Its like they gave the voice actors a single take and then slapped that on the spartan ops. I do hate playing the same levels over and over also. DX
Spartan Ops would have benefitted from looking at their maps and building them on the iceberg principle a massive amount of content underneath surface. Attaching a mystery in each map as we progress would have given some life to Spartan Ops. They could have utilized the area 3 codex with it, because the community loves a good mystery like the Legendary endings and skulls. Those symbols strewn out on a map that you could delve into would’ve been far better in the long run.
I do like spartan ops but I agree that it is nowhere near as amazing as firefight. If they could do firefight with different factions like mass effect 3 did it woul be sweet. Like you could fight the covenant, the flood, or promethians.
I think Spartan Ops could have been good if there was an incentive to actually play well. Why is there barely any punishment for dying on Spartan Ops, makes the whole thing too easy, and just makes everyone die-spawn-run up and melee-rinse and repeat.
> Spartan Ops rocks, So does Fire fight, but if I had to choose, I would choose a story line based gametype over a mindless horde type anyday
I would have to disagree about fire fight, it was always interesting due to the factors of the players and the randomness of the Ai. I played Limited where the Ai were brutal instead of easy spawn kills. The Ultras took on a whole different feel when you weren’t floating on a Jetpack and 2x everything. Spartan Ops grows very tedious by Thursday for me due to the Ai lacking any real character, the dialogue, and the same push the button while engaged in a co-op campaign speed run with the other players that is both hectic and frustrating most of the time.
I find it is better to simply play Spartan Ops every Monday only where all the players have yet to memorize the drops and Ai agenda on the map. That has made Spartan Ops bearable and it is starting to work it’s way back to enjoyable by my following a strict one day only policy.
If you really want firefight back that bad, then go put in Halo Reach. Simple as that. People complain about anything new that gets added to a Halo Game. I still remember people complaining about firefight when it first came out, saying it was a ripoff of gears of war 3. Never happy huh?
I forget this community doesn’t give two -Yoinks!- about Halo’s story and doesn’t understand what Spartan Ops even is.
I love Spartan Ops for it’s story and gameplay. People have unlimited lives, so the -Yoink- what, did any of you even play Firefight Arcade in Reach or even know of it’s existance? It was played more then FF Limited!!

This I agree on, it shouldn’t respawn you right in front on your teammates.
I Love Spartan Ops, I think it’s a great idea and they should continue doing them.
<mark>But have you not noticed we have been playing the same EXACT 7 maps since it has been released?</mark>
I am saying if they are going to be this lazy with it we might as well have Firefight, because then they can just use a map and increase more enemies and the strength of them. that’s the approach they are taking.
They use the same maps and just place different enemies on them, and it has gotten insanely repetitive. Atleast give us new environment.
Halo 4 is a million times better than previous halos I believe. and Spartan ops could be something great.
WE JUST NEED MORE VARIETY AND MAPS.
Playing on the SAME EXACT maps over and over even makes the story line suck.
