We have waited for a very long time and there is probably not going to be a Spartan Ops season 2. I must ask this though Has 343 officially confirmed no Spartan Ops Season 2?
No, they haven’t confirmed Spartan Ops Season 2.
I’m pretty sure I saw a bulletin where bs angel answered a panel question, or something like that. She said no season 2. I’m sorry I don’t know which bulletin it was in.
They haven’t explicitly said there wont be a season 2.
> They haven’t explicitly said there wont be a season 2.
This^
And a Season 2 would be necessary due to Season 1’s ending. Season 1 didn’t a significant enough ending for it to go straight into Halo 5, more needs to happen if the Chief is to get involved. (though Halsey’s actions certainly put it in that direction.)
I’d gladly pay for a Season 2, and we’ve still got another year before Halo 5 comes out.
As far as I know, this is the latest word on the matter:
I want to see the season 2 cutscenes. They can leave the missions out, they just aren’t good.
In fact the Halo TV series should just be never ending Halo CG cutscenes.
Mixing it with the game didn’t work (for the game).
They do need to improve the scripts, Halo is suppose to be a mature franchise, but it’s starting to feel dumbed down.

That was months ago; what BS Angel actually said was there were “no current plans for Season 2”; so it’s still a possibility. And there’s definitely some high demand for a second season.

ODST.
I want more Spartan ops missions.
> They haven’t explicitly said there wont be a season 2.
They also said they have no plans to incorporate Theater support in SpOps and Campaign, but we all know that will never happen. They also said they were looking into custom games, but again, “no plans”. No plans seems to be code for “Not happening” at 343i.

It can go straight into Halo 5. Why couldn’t it? Just jump right into Chief’s story and continue where Halo 4 left off.
The books, comics, and other media will probably play a greater role in filling the gap between 4 and 5 rather than a Season 2.
I’d like a Season 2 too, but 343i has expressed that they have no plans for it in their Bulletins a lot of times. They’ve also said somewhere (can’t find the source) that Spartan Ops was a lot harder to manage and create than they originally thought it would be.
I’d much rather they make Season 2 for Halo 4; 343i needs to support Spartan Ops better. Not being able to use the Champions DLC content in Spartan Ops was a major letdown; if they can’t fix that, they should at least do SOMETHING…
The addition of Skulls in Spartan Ops is one thing they could do, but I would like to see some Custom Game Options even more; stuff like Game Loadouts, Player Traits, and whatnot.
I’d like to be able to tweak mission settings as I see fit, like create loadouts that allow me to start with my favorite Ordnance (i.e. Sticky Detonator, Gravity Hammer) or enable Infinite Ammo or even Bottomless Clip if I so choose; that’d be a lot of fun, especially on Legendary.
Or maybe let us change the vehicles on the map (just like in War Games) to all Mantises, or all Scorpions; imagine playing through that first mission “Land Grab”, in a Scorpion or Mantis instead of a Warthog. Custom game options would greatly increase the replay value of Spartan Ops.
Spartan Ops season 1 really impressed me with the CGI and production quality, but dissapointed me on the character and story development. The gameplay also proved to have very little to no replay value, other than mindless credit farming.
I’d pay for a Season 2 if they’d make a few changes. Either make a limited life pool, points, medals, skulls, and random enemy waves standard, or add them as user selectable options or unlocks after first playthrough.
Moving the writing towards better Halo canon alignment and a more mature, well developed story and character development would also help. Things like Spartans who don’t know who Halsey is, and cookie cutter cliche’d military and sciene characters wear thin after a while.
Also, wipe Roland’s AI and get another. Thanks 
And bring back the ODST . . .
Did I mention bring back the ODST?
I posted a thread on how to improve Spartan Ops for Season a couple weeks ago; including the addition of Invasion-style objectives (planting bombs, securing territories, and capturing cores), open non-linear missions the likes of “The Silent Cartographer”, and the addition of things like new vehicles and skulls.

Ricochet.

This sounds like there won’t be one to me. Yes, they’ll expand on the story, but in some other way. He flat out says it was an experiment. The fact that he mentions that tells me it was a failed one.
As much as I didn’t like the ‘let’s rip multiplayer maps and campaign maps and put a.i and voices into them and call it a mission’ idea they called Spartan Ops, I’m pretty sure they said a year of Spartan Ops content? And they’re called Season 1: Spartan Ops a Season. You don’t just use the word Season once and finish it there. That’s not a Season. That’s a series.
I’m pretty sure I heard in a video about ‘unique’ missions for Spartan Ops… … I just remembered watching another video about unique Multipler maps. Now I know where they got their unique battleground from.
ANYWHO, if the community want it, they should get it. Make Spartan Ops 2. Stop milking the cow you call Halo, Microsoft/even 343i, and treat the community with bloody respect.
yepp they have confirmed no Season Two, sorry but I said it from the start on these forums to alot of people
No they can’t just say no Season 2 not with the way the ended the first season! If they don’t make a second season then there is going to be a lot of pissed fans out there me being one of them.

Frank O’Connor said at this year’s RTX that there were no current plans for a season ,2 but the story of the Spartan IV squads is not over. So there are still ways they could continue the story. A side campaign included with Halo 5 or maybe even a spin on game like ODST are a couple of possibilities I’d be interested in.
