I noticed something whenever I was reading a thread here the other day with a similar question, on a different aspect of Halo 4. I think it was a “fishstick” thread.
Anyways, Team Crimson is the team of Spartan IVs in Spartan Ops. You can have up to 4 players co-op.
Certain Affinity has worked on Halo since Halo 2, and they’ve made multiple map packs. They are also contributing to Halo 4’s maps and forge.
Certain Affinity released their first full independent “game” last year I believe, titled “Crimson Alliance”, which featured 4 player co-op as a main feature.
Is this a nod or reference to Certain Affinity, or just a coincidence?
Bungie left us. Certain Affinity still loves this franchise. I think its more geared towards 4 player co-op Crimson Alliance than dinky phone game Steam Pirates.
