Spartan Ops 6th Episode Is Really Good
Th enviroments are really cool and it kicks off really cool in the first chapter. Also I like that matchmaking difficulty has been upped to Legendary. No more Fuel Rods upon Fuel Rods to make it challenging. It feels like they actually put effort in to it. The Covenant Harvester looks awesome but its really weird in design to be be Covenant. Also the new Community Playlist has some awesome maps for 4v4, which is exactly what H4 needed.
Good job 343, keep it up. 9/10 for the 6th episode.
Anyways what are your thoughts on the new episode and playlists?
Discuss.

The new playlist is very good. Finally, we've got maps that have weapons spawning on the map naturally, and we're not entirely reliant on ordinance for weapon variety. The smaller maps are [i]very[/i] good, if you ask me. While I enjoy Halo 4 a lot, this playlist has brought me to have some of the most fun I've had on this game since I bought it.

It's good. Third chapter is amazing - both visually and gameplay-wise. Can't wait to see what they have for us next.

1 ReplyEh, I've lost interest in Halo 4. It was fun for the first three weeks, but it became a drag. Far Cry 3 is where it's at.

Edited by Domi 233: 1/23/2013 10:41:33 PMThe quality seems to be increasing from eps 4-6, but it's not increasing quickly enough. Of course, playing with a full team of 4 friends would be awesome, but I've had some great experiences playing with randoms in MM. Especially the last chapter of Ep. 5, with the RvB egg enabled, when two of our team left. Two Spartans + Hammers vs. Hunters and Wraiths was hilarious. There is a lot of repetition though, objective wise. A lot of go here, kill guys, push button, rescue eggheads... The first mission of Ep.5 was interesting, as it was actually possible to fail if you weren't playing well, but apart from that, and the first mission of the new episode, there really hasn't been much variety. The new environments were good though: one previously unused multiplayer map and one fully reskined Campaign map, the other 3 being new. That feels like a reasonable ratio of old:new, without getting repetitive like sniper alley and the lava map and without asking for an unreasonable amount on the part of the devs. Overall, it's getting better, but the actual mission objectives are lagging behind the rest of the improvements.

"Drop-pods incoming" x 1000

4 RepliesCould you please pass me some of whatever it is you are smoking. Two recycled environments (one campaign, one MP), one bland cave, the Covie "base" was ok as was the Harvester. But it's still the same go to a location, hit a button, kill spawning bad guys repeated ad infinitum. Where are the open expansive/vehicle heavy maps we were promised. I also disagree about the difficulty setting as there are many Halo players who simply aren't up to Legendery and as such shouldn't be forced to play it. Also when people quit out it makes finishing the level real slog.

The "Push that button" "Crimson" "Eggheads" is worn out. You don't like it, don't play it. Just finished it. It is the best of the series so far. All new environments. But there is OMG BUTTON PUSHING! Oh it's so horrible..... pansies Not like there wasn't 'button pushing' in any other Halo campaigns.... oh wait....
-
2 RepliesIt's a poor attempt to bring back players in my opinion. Still nothing fun about it.
-
No it's not, it's the same boring push a button and kill things gameplay with no ability to lose, the new environments are cool but they add nothing to the gameplay.
-
Covenant Harvester? :o

Edited by Faux Noise: 1/22/2013 1:16:54 AM"Push that button" "Crimson" "Eggheads" I'll have to play it to see if I like it. Oh wait, I'll never be playing this piece of trash again. Cry me a river butthurt Roberto.

Edited by Boomdeyadah: 1/22/2013 1:01:37 AMSpOps still isn't that good. Still constant button pressing. Still wannabe Firefight gameplay. Still MP maps being ripped (cough Vortex cough) Yawn. The only good thing is that Palmer stopped saying Eggheads. That's it.

Honestly, I hated the new episode. It just felt like the same exact thing over again, except for some new environments. Have yet to try out the Community Playlist though.
-
I have yet to play Halo 4 after I signed up for the Infinity Challenge I've been playing Forza Horizon for almost a week now
-
I mean it was fun, but still not spectacular or anything. The last mission was rather disappointing.
-
Kinda disappointed that the Broadswords were only a cutscene. ;_;
-
I have to get gold membership to play it. I rarely use xbox live other than for downloading things nowadays so I'll pass.
-
I haven't touched Spartan Ops in a long time... is it good enough that I'll actually enjoy it now?
-
It is really good. Great to see 343i listening to their fans.
