In my opinion Spartan ops was very cool and it gave me a reason to continue playing Halo 4 in a story that takes place after the events of Halo 4. But I still have to agree with many people, Halo 4’s online was kinda bad and had delays in it. So we know they might fix it in the MCC and hopefully no more lag delays. But if they were to focus more on the multiplayer and allow us to enjoy more of Halo 5 a lot better then before. I’m sure we’d all be happy with the choices made to create it. But till then, we must wait on the Beta.
But back to the other question.
We know that Spartan Ops was open for a sequel, but after all the bad reviews it got, would you all still want it back if they focused on the multiplayer? Cause to tell the truth I’d like a continued story of where it left off.
What about you people, state your opinions please.
Sure, I really enjoyed Spops. It did get a little boring at times due to the same maps being used throughout the first few seasons, and some missions were just clear the area and defend the location, but what else could they do whilst also working on the next installment. It’s not like we were gonna get a whole other campaign with massive missions.
And the episodes were awesome.
I would like to see what happens next, maybe the Spops events will come into play in Guardians story, or maybe another form of media.
I’m already discussing this to death in another thread. I’d hate for 343 to waste resources on a glorified second campaign. Even if 343 made much needed improvements, that’s still all it would be. Whether 343 can do it in addition to Firefight or not, Spartan Ops is an idea that should just die.
I’d be down with it, but I think all of it should come out after the initial launch. Let me beat the campaign and play some online and maybe a month or two after release we get some spartan ops, this helps not to drain resources from the main game, and hopefully will improve the quality of spartan ops. I would like to stray away from the custom Spartans idea and rather play as actual characters that we otherwise wouldn’t be able to play as.
Spartan Ops was a fantastic idea, and I did quite enjoy it. But unfortunately, it wasn’t quite implemented properly, and failed to live up to its potential. Going through an environment 4 or 5 times started to get old, especially as objectives never really changed. Seeing the same place twice in a different way is fine. 3 times? Pushing it a bit, but if they do it in the way they did in the second half of the season, then ok, as long as it happens only once or twice. But more than that? It starts to get long.
I would love for them to take the time to make Spartan Ops a fantastic product, then bring it back alongside Firefight. There’s too much potential there to let it go.
They should make it just like a campaign, not just small maps with various enemies (Halo 4 for example).
Something where the cutscenes and gameplay complement each other (in halo 4 you can watch every episode of SOs without playing a level and it will still make sense) so something where the story is in the level not just in a cutscene before it.
Like say if they made literally a second campaign and it’s set out like the main one, and 1 standard sized level is given to us over the course of a few weeks and those who get the game late just have a standard second campaign.
If SpOps 2 doesn’t have my CIC Commander yelling and talking continously our tactical comms with my mission handler, and if she stops namecalling my Marine/Army/ODST comrades for not living upto the standards set by my Fireteam. Then yeah I want a SpOps season 2.
Also maps shouldn’t be repeated. And it should not be restricted to one planet or nearby locations.
