From the description it sounds like Spartan ops will act as a secondary story line with its own cinematics and plot. This sounds a hella lot better than anything CoD has to offer. The article describes it as being like a TV series that unfolds the Spartan 4’s story. I don’t care how much you hate this info. I personally think that this could be revolutionary and add a new level of immersion never seen before.
I’d give a link, but I don’t like the Ban-Hammer
Other than the name, this could be so far one of the greatest aspects of Halo 4. There are a lot of possible routes this can take and im excited to see what they do with it. A second ongoing campaign with my multiplayer character is a GREAT idea and its something I love.
My thoughts exactly: incredible-sounding stuff, and mad props to 343 for coming up with it.
I know “spartan points” can buy more missions and stuff but I hope were not limited to spartan points. Hopefully there is some sort of ranking system. As for the instant spawning, random weapon drops, and join in session, Ill wait for the actual magazine as well as a podcast from 343. I will say i did not like a single idea at first but we all have been through that WTF IS GOING ON stage. Im gonna relax right now, look forward to spartan ops and hope things are not as bad as they seemed
If pulled off well it could be one of the greatest coop experiences in recent years, if not, well it will be a mediocre distraction from the main package. One of the saving graces of the new info in my mind, it’s sad really, I couple new things I don’t like and this entire reveal leaves a sour taste, feeling better today then yesterday though. Want dat podcast.
I’ve been looking for some adequate co-op for halo, and I guess this will satisfy me enough.
It’s revolutionary indeed as no FPS did this before, it’s only about shooting in other games like COD for example, Halo 4 however does amazing things.
I’m very happy with all the news!
I don’t think this is going to be like that. It will have it’s own story, but more likely only through cutscenes between missions. There likely won’t be any scripted events or dialogue during the missions themselves. That stuff belongs in the main campaign experience.
I’d expect it to be more like Spec-Ops where we just get mini-missions built around co-op play.
Overall the idea is to create missions that will offer the Firefight experience, while also driving towards a more immersive campaign addition that goes beyond what we already know as Firefight.
I suspect missions to mix things up and take from all campaign and FF themes, current and past, and shake them into many delicious cocktails.
As I see it; some missions will be like a FF-survival/classic mode, some from a “regular” level, some will be like the Warthog runs of past, some will be like Scorpion runs of past, some will be like the Banshee runs of past… Heck some could even pull from the Sabre theme.
Too fearful are some. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate and long before that, the mind stopped thinking properly in the first place due to fear and the whole time since fear has been suffering. 
Yes I am very pumped for this new mode, if 343 pulls this off right its going to be really fun!
I think that the only ones who hate this idea are people who have only read the name and not the article itself.
Spartan Ops sounds exciting though I believe its main purpose is to be a replacement for firefight, not a second campaign. If it goes well it could be something great.
100 percent for it
I’m really looking forward to “Spartan-Ops”. Though I’m sad for FF not being on the game, hearing that it would be an extension of the campaign and is all about the Spartan IV’s, makes me even more excited to know that we can still customize our character (just as in Reach) for both Campaign and Multiplayer.

I couldn’t resist reading this in a Yoda voice.
