See here, I like Spartan Ops but I feel that it needs it’s gameplay mixing up a little, they need to get us doing different things.
The list below includes some of the things I’d like to see them give us in Season 2 (or seasons in the future) of Spartan Ops:
-Fighting in space using a Broadsword or even a hijacked Seraph.
-Using a Pelican like we did in the campaign.
-I’d like to see more vehicle based situations instead of constantly fighting infantry, after all this isn’t the middle ages it’s the 26th century.
-I’d like them to give us BIG things to fight! I was always hoping to come across a Scarab, and the Harvester I was disappointed that we didn’t get to fight that.
-More stealth based missions! Where we are GIVEN specific weapons to use. Hell imagine just using a knife, after all, Spartans carry them.
-Mix the objectives up. For example, spice an episode up by completely surprising us by getting us to hijack a Scarab and then were able to control it to battle other Scarabs etc.
Those are some of the things I’d like to see come to Spartan Ops.
What about you guys?
Shooting alien dudes with bullets
Faster EXP gain
Instant respawns, why should I have to wait to kill more dudes
More buttons
More eggheads
No need for a stupid answer -Yoink-.

What Spartan Ops really needs is more variety in level design, constantly pressing buttons, constantly fighting the same enemies after pressing those buttons, and then constantly getting picked up by a pelican after killing the boring enemies. It kinda sucks, so what I propose is some flying missions, a mission where you fly around in the gunner seat of a Lich EMPing enemies on the ground to give your teammates support while your Co-op partners are defending the Lich from being boarded and destroyed, (I’m coming up with this stuff as I go so if it sucks you know why) new enemies, a mission where you control one of those big -Yoink- Forerunner AA guns or whatever to take out multiple Cove cruisers, and maybe even a mission where you control a Spartan Squad and can order them to breach doors and stuff.
I would like to see some more escort, stealth and vehicle based missions in new season. When I say “vehicle missions”, I mean Banshees, Wraiths and Scorpions. Giving us some levels where we spawn with power weapons right at the beginning would be fun. And I think 343 should make some missions where you actually can lose, for example by being a jerk and letting all your people die.
Less Sarah Palmer Dialogue, oh please 343I im begging you!
Agreed.
The really need to spice the missions up.
I wont to see more Crawler Snipers, and Knight Commanders. Say no less than 20 of each within one chapter.
For the “pros” it would give them more of a challenge, and for the Enemy Counts guys it would help them out as well.
I woul like a pure CQC mission, with nothing but enemies using melee weapons.
OP, I think your list is fairly complete. I had thought that SPARTAN Ops would be just like the campaign with regards to all the things you actually get to do, especially vehicle-wise.
I do believe the dialog could be more mature and military-oriented as it was in previous Halo releases (campaign story-wise). I’d love to hear more stuff like Sgt Johnson’s “sticks and a rock” speech. Throughout the trilogy AND in ODST I felt like I was a Marine. Nowadays Marines are treated like an annoying nuisance. Marines treat SPARTANS with respect but it doesn’t seem to be mutual.
I also found it weird that ordinance drops were common but, where were the ODSTs?
More missions that you can fail.
Make it so that if everyone is dead at the same time you lose.
Timers. You can do interesting things like find the button(no waypoint) to open a door that leads to an alternate route, like on scaffolding above a covenant war room. Also doors that close and split the team up.
A boss battle against a unique enemy, not a FRG General Elite.
Vehicle action.
Less linear maps.
Backtracking is ok but not excessively done. Maybe revisiting the first mission site on the last mission, just as long as it’s subtle and not sloppily justified.
SPACE!!! Maybe some EVA gone wrong or something like LNoS.
Hazardous environments : getting sucked out into space or covenant artillery.
