Since I don’t have any of the Spartan Ops episodes (anymore), how’s the population doing? I heard a lot of people didn’t like it so I assume it could be pretty low.

Its very low to be honest.
Like, under 100 players most of the time.

That’s pretty bad.
As of this post, 283 in the current episode available in Matchmaking.

There’s no way to track those that are playing in custom games sadly.
Population was always going to drop off for Spartan Ops. With it being over a year since Season 1 finished, playing it over and over just seems boring and pointless (unless you’re playing for the XP).

It’s funny though because it always has a larger population than Proving Ground.
I’m grinding the Sniper Crawler Commendation, so I just play a few games solo as a warm-up.
I’m currently going through it solo since the first time through was through matchmaking. After the solo play through, I’ll try to get the last remaining enemy commendations.
I only play it solo anymore. Every time I play online, there’s usually an entire second delay between when I pull the trigger and a bullet fires. Which is weird, because War Games is pretty good most of the time. I don’t know why Spartan Ops with 4 people has so much more lag than a match between 16.

Spartan Ops/Campaign and Multiplayer use entirely different systems for multiplayer.
In Spartan Ops/Campaign, all players need to be in-sync, otherwise players will de-sync and see different things on each screen. Because of this, every player is playing off the host’s connection and relying on him to keep it in sync. If one players connection drops slightly, then the game will pause, catch up and resume.
Multiplayer doesn’t need to be like this, which is usually why you’ll see people teleporting around the map.
