All the levels in Spartan Ops are either recycled from the Campaign or Multiplayer and can be beaten in minutes, so why did they remove Firefight for this crap?
Because many of us really enjoy it.
You have not thought this through.
Firefight wasn’t on recycled maps and repetitive?
This is fun for many of us. We also support 343 to give us the best experience that they can.
You want firefight, Reach has that.
Halo 4 is trying something new to gaming. An online series. With a continuation of the Halo 4 story.
I love this “Crap” and I hope 343 keeps crapping it out.

but why remove Firefight? Why not have them side by side?
Also, Reach does not have the advances in game play that H4 has…
Firefight didn’t have the Mantis or Scorpion. Or huge battles with entire swarms of Banshees on Valhalla.
Of course, if they were to add those things to Firefight (along with Custom Loadouts and Personal Ordnance) I would be more than happy to have it back.
with the way maps now that we’ve seen like Valhalla and complex have the right attributes for FF there is no reason why they couldn’t try it out. Imean there is nothing wrong with trying out new stuff and Im a fan of SO but I like FF as well and So doesn’t quite fill that gap for everyone
33% like firefight, 33% like Spartan ops, and 33% like both. Just add firefight and make everybody happy, including me because both are loveable.

Because of space.
You guys act like videogame developers are out to get you all.
They have limitations and have to prioritize.
Since they wanted to focus on SO, FF had to be removed.
If they could just plop it in. Of course they would.
But it is not possible.
They had to prioritize. And they wanted to evolve gaming online, so they went with SO and didn’t redo an older game mode.
because firefight is the same in terms of rehashed maps, it just allows players to stat-pad by sitting in a corner and killing everything with little effort. In Spartan Ops, you atleast have to do objectives.
The only thing it’s missing is meta-scoring.
Objectives is a very polite term for what you have to do.
They should have kept FF and still included Spartan Ops. But wait till next week and we’ll be playing the same missions they released today just backwards like they did with the previous two. The problem with Spartan ops is there really is no challenge. You can die over and over again and still win. If they wwanted to make it a challenging game, do it arcade style. Players have so many lives and once they’re spent thats its. Plus I would like it more if they gave you tailoring options like FF in Reach has to make it as hard as you want. Add what enemies you want to fight and how they spawn etc. etc…They porked this game with lack of customizing. And no theater for Spartan ops either? WTF

Im pretty sure they could fit it in if they wanted to…
If not, then release it as DLC like Sops should have been…
If they add Firefight PLEASE do not add achievements for it.
I abhorred Firefight in ODST and Reach: the only reason I played that idiotic bs was to get stupid achievements. I don’t really care if 343 adds it as I will just keep playing the mp.

How? Why do you think they could include it so easily? Without losing investment in their new feature, SO?
If it were so easy, they would have. But they don’t want to sacrifice the quality, space, and time of their main modes.
My biggest problem with Spartan Ops are the characters. Sarah Palmer is an annoying idiot. She’s insecure (as evidenced by Halsey being on Infinity), she’s condescending (calling scientists “eggheads” and moaning about them constantly…uh, lady, these are the people who made your armor so you could be a Spartan in the first place), and she has a terrible attitude toward missions (she treats most if not all of them like they’re a complete joke). Her banter with Miller is really poorly written too. They don’t sound like military professionals at all.
It’s a shame that they managed to make Jennifer Hale’s amazing voice so damn annoying.
So far I’ve had a LOT more fun in Spartan Ops, especially missions 1 and 3 this week.

I never said it would be easy. If they had the mode in the last two games, why not take the time to put it in the new game?
Why would they lose investment in Sops? Once its created, they dont have to do anything with it.
I am also under the impression that they just dont want to include it no matter how hard or easy it might be.
The Firefight on Reach was awful. It was the same maps over and over with the same game type over and over again. if it were the ODST Firefight, then sure, that was great. But Reach Firefight doesn’t even compare to Spartan Ops. New maps with awesome episodes before each chapter, it’s refreshing and new.
Don’t like it? Play Reach.
>People knew spartan ops would be in the game when they bought it.
>They say spartan ops should have been DLC
> Don’t like it? Play Reach.
Why does every one say this?
I do play Reach, but I want to play Firefight with the advances that 343 brought to the Halo series with H4…
still nothing done about people afk’in. most annoying thing in firefight was when some idiot just sits in the back because there so bad at the game and can’t play they have to hide. have just witnessed it again in spartan ops. i even pushed the guy into the fight and he just walked back into a hole when he relased he was in danger of taking part in the map useless scrub.
