Thanks 343 for finally showing some attention to SpOps. Now throw some scoring in there and I’ll be happy
Did I miss something?
They turned on a couple skulls freshens it up a little
Still got to try it out
> Did I miss something?
Some skulls are added
Just skulls?
When they add scoring, medals pop ups and Jeff I’ll come back.
It’s too bad. If we had thunderstorm, those enemy commendations would so easy. Crawler snipe would be finished in 4 games.
I want cloud though. I kind of hate my radar in Campaign, and I always enjoyed listening for footsteps behind me.
Yeah it not much but i’ll take what I get. I would love to see something to get the commendations easier I’m tired of farming forerunners
Did they add new missions? No? Don’t care.
> Did they add new missions? No? Don’t care.
Yeah. But hey, something is happening. One step at a time, no?

Will skulls really matter? It sure doesn’t pull me in, I see no incentive to play Spartan Ops.
I played local last night, but I didn’t see any changes. No yay when I headshot grunts, or funny lines, or stronger enemies. Is it only active when I play on Legendary or something?

That is strange. It happens for me any difficulty, and I play legendary, with a scattering of heroic. Those skulls are always on for me.

Well, great. Nothing has happened for me. Maybe I should be going into matchmaking for once, and see if the changes occour.
Thats strange I didn’t have to go into MM I was surprised to see it actually. I was expecting it to only be in MM
I’ll care about Spartan Ops when they remove the xbox live paywall. Until then, everything they add is just letting you borrow the service. At least the the competitive MP modes, you can play them offline to your heart’s content.
I just came back to halo 4 and I just realized that the knights suddenly got really aggressive in spartan ops and take forever to kill. Exactly what skulls did they add?

Thunderstorm has no effect on Crawler Snipers. I played through Campaign on LASO, and all it did was convert all the regular Crawlers into Crawler Alphas.
I actually hate that they added skulls in this manner; Grunt Birthday Party is annoying, and Mythic I had enough of in my LASO run. Unless they can let us select skulls as we do in the Campaign, I’d rather play without them.
BTW, the skulls have only been enable for Episode 1, “Departure”; they’re going through Season 1 one episode at a time.

Well, that sucks. Oh well. I can still finish those commendations with some effort.

I thought the same thing and was trying some Episode 3 chapters with no effect.
As it turns out, the 3 skulls only applies to Episode 1 - the first 5 chapters. If you read each Chapters briefing text, it does indicate which Skulls are turned on.
I have already sent feedback to the Spartan Ops Feedback forum:
https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postsm2731098_Spartan-Ops-Skulls-Feedback.aspx#post2731098
on this too.
It likely would not hurt if they got more feedback on it from people - strength in numbers and such.
I love that Grunt birthday skull they added to Spartan Ops.
