Spartan Ops S2, Elites in MP, and More

Hello, friends. First of all, let me introduce myself. I am Joe Wolfboy from the upcoming series R E A C H: A Halo Machinima on YouTube. I am also a very good Halo gamer and a dear friend of 343industries.

Now I always hate to be blunt; however, WHEN WILL WE SEE SEASON 2 OF SPARTAN OPS?!? I’m infuriated that we may not even get another Halo game for a few years, if not at least four more to go. Too many people say that season 2 won’t be coming out makes me wanna kill something in campaign (on legendary with all skulls). Now, I can understand why 343 would keep this under the radar from us, but… seriously? LET US KNOW SOMETHING!!! We are waiting…

Next is moving to multiplayer. WHY NO ELITES?!? I personally hate being a Spartan and loved the look and feel of the Elite HUD and abilities in Halo: Reach and even back to Halo 2. Please, 343i… BRING ON THE ELITES!

My final topic is in the area of Forge. Where. Are. The. Falcons!?! You let us use Covenant vehicles and aerial weapons, but yet… no Falcons… I see something very wrong here. Again, 343… MAKE US HAPPY!

Thank you for your time!

  1. Spartan Ops Season 1 took a very long time to make and loads of work that had to be done. It’s only been three months since Season 1 ended. Don’t expect Season 2 anytime soon. I’m expecting it to happen eventually (my estimate is end of this year/early next year).

  2. There is 343i’s reason, and then there’s mine and a few others’ thoughts as to why there are no Elites in Multiplayer.
    First off, 343i made Multiplayer canon, and because it’s canon, and it’s on Infinity, and it’s only about Spartans, and the Elites are the enemies (to at the least ONI, which is what Infinity is mainly owned by), there cannot be Elites in Multiplayer.
    As for mine and a few others’ thoughts, it’s the players’ Yoinking that took them away. In Halo 3, their hitboxes were terrible (Bungie design flaw) and in Reach they were more powerful than the Spartans (the Reach excuse can and should be highly ignored since this was Bungie’s decision for the Invasion gametype, and the fact that canon-wise Spartan III’s that you played as are worse than Elites).

  3. Falcons were cut from the game. They were initially going to be in at least the Campaign level Reclaimer (called the Flock Falcon, which is basically the Transport variant). I’m assuming they were cut because 343i ran out of time.

  1. Probably just the cinematics. IIRC, the Campaign designers were on vacation for Season 1.0 and within a short time, put together Season 1.5 which was marginally better.

  2. Despite the H3 Elite’s glaring flaws, I loved the secrets associated with their character model (roaring when crouch lunging, Campaign grenade throw).

  3. Well, I’m completely satisfied with Reclaimer as it is. My only wish is that there had been a rally point charlie.

If this is the case, why don’t you ask them?

Maybe he is just a big fan of 343i…
