So what kind of missions are you hoping for. Run in unseen and detonate a bomb, explore a underground base and free prisoners? Maybe assassinate a high ranking Elite without being caught? What planets and environments are you hoping they place us on? Low gravity world where we’re jumping like John Carter or maybe a world full of dangerous giant life forms like what we had on Reach?
All I hope is that they don’t give us any convoy duties. Those are the worst. Protect supply “Truck A” while it trudges right into a Wraith or Scarab. Always full of frustration.
So what kind of Spartan Ops mission are you hoping to play with your friends?
Missions with a large amount of variety (sniping, vehicle combat, stealth, open ground firefights, ect.). It’ll be interesting to see how you and your comrades’ playstyle will work out through your chosen loadouts in such scenarios.
I just hope they make most Ops have several paths.
Like, one guy can Snipe from a ridge while the two others go down a main path while the 4th takes a short-cut to meet up and deals with a threat along the way, solo.
I just can’t get over the whole “Spartan Ops takes place 6 months after the Chief’s campaign” It hurts my augmented Super solider brain, maaan! Why can’t it be happening on the other side of the planet at the same time as the Chief?! It’s basically Halo 4.5! I…I hurt! Timeline, man! Now I feel like a have to play the chiefs story b4 ever touching S.O.
I made a thread about my rage and confusion sometime ago.
But yeah, I’m looking forward to some Search and Rescue, Covie bomb defusal, mingling in Forerunner secrets, hijacking rides, slaying dragons, saving princesses…you know…exploring dungeons. Adventure.
I’m hoping for a downed pilot rescue. I like the idea of hitting some sort of rig out in the middle of a ocean. Maybe one where we just gather intel on a base and three days later our time we get the mission to go in. I wonder when or what rank we need to get saddled with ONI missions?
someone suggested something similar on a separate thread but I would love to see a mission where two players run a distraction while the other two slip behind enemy lines to plant a bomb or something.
Pretty much missions that rely heavily on team work and separate objectives yet the same goals that way gameplay is always different depending on which side you take and who you’re playing with
Im just hoping its the next big innovation in video games. I’m hoping its better than firefight too. They say its as long as a second campaign if not longer, I hope its story is as immersive as Halo’s main campaign.
I don’t mind so long as the objectives and environments differ with each mission. In other words, I hope every mission isn’t like; ‘disarm the covenant/forerunner bomb’ or ‘fight off waves of covenant/forerunner enemies.’

And ^this^ too I guess but, would rather shoot and grenade anything that moves.
I am hoping for a co-operative game mode, with an excellent storyline, missions containing a variety of different objectives (some focused on teamwork, and lone wolfing), with infinite amounts of replay value.
