Spartan Ops Special Bulletin next week!

bs angel has said that next week’s bulletin will be s a special about Spartan Ops
“We’re planning on doing a special Bulletin about Spartan Ops next week. :)” The Halo Bulletin 2.20.13 NEWS on page 2. I wonder what this means.

Maybe a reveal for Season 2? Or a sneak peek? I hope they added in some of the various things players have been posting in the forums. excited

O yeah she replied to me that.
It’s likely going to be recap and them talking about the making of and all that.

A Spartan Ops Q and A? I may be getting my hopes up.

“See what we did with Spartan Ops is make a bunch of cool environments and thought, “Hey these are pretty good, why make any more?” and so we just copied and pasted them all over. We wondered what would make good objectives, so we decided to primarily ignore the events in the CGI cutscenes and make a lot of button pressing missions and hold out against waves of enemies. Sure it loses all tension to hold out against the horde when you have unlimited spawns, but whatever.”

"So we had to work with data constraints and in the second half of the season we tried to segment these areas and unveil them to keep things a bit more fresh. As we saw people enjoyed vehicular combat a lot, we added it were we could. "

Things were all nice and then… Bam! This…

I hope it’s a question and answer.

“Now they will talk and we will listen”

If anything they will just confirm it not a sneak peak if there is a sneak peak i will be impressed

I hear all these complaints of data constraints and that simply makes me ask why they didn’t plan this stuff better instead of aiming too high and having to settle for mediocrity.

You always try too hard and make more than you need, and later trim back from that. That way you can never be accused of not trying hard enough, or pushing the boundaries and envelope where you could.

Also “console limitations” is such an easy boiler plate answer.

I hope they announce SPOPS season 2 and that it will be ready within weeks or 1 month for continued story and episodes/chapters. Bip. Bap. Bam.

You think they have already been developing season 2?

Spartan ops is quite fun thank you.
This concept is not exactly wide spread so it is what it is. As long as its fun, there isn’t much of a problem to return to the same places. Why do you even bother? It’s likely just going to e more that you dislike.

I Have a feeling It;s either gonna be a recap, a preview, or a Q&A. There were Tons of questions raised by the end of Spartan Ops.

Season 2 Season 2 Season 2, come on GIVE IT TO ME!!

Since Season 1 just ended, I think Season 2 will most likely be announced at e3.

> Since Season 1 just ended, I think Season 2 will most likely be announced at e3.

Unless xbox is otherwise occupied at e3. I really do think a stand alone announcment is probably the way they’ll go (be it tomorrow or no). We’d have a much better opportunity to care that way. :slight_smile:

Yes I do think they’ve been developing Season 2 and the CGI story already. It just seems too obvious to keep it rolling. If they were to start now we would not see it until SEPT-DEC this year. Far too late and with next generation reveals this year I think they’ll keep SPOPS running very quickly.

I’d like to see a season 2 announcement.

I’d also like to see that season 2 will support:

  1. campaign scoring

  2. theater mode

  3. skulls

heres hoping they’ve been listening

They better announce Season 2…and theater…and offline play.
