Halo 4 Spartan Ops Week 7 (out early)
So Spartan Ops episode 7 is out, and earlier than usual too!
I just finished them. Basically the UNSC Infinity is boarded by Prometheans and Covenant because of what I suspect is Halsey's fault.
Gameplay wise: A tad more backtracking than I probably would've liked in hindsight. Plus there was a part where you need to lock down the engine room that really annoyed me. You spawn in an area and the objective is on the other side of the map (which isn't that far away). Once you get to that objective and push the button (which locks the door), you get another Waypoint way back where you just spawned requiring you to do the same thing.
I mean... couldn't I have done that before?
Other than that I had a great time doing said missions. Not really digging the Infinity's colour scheme (very dull... same as FuD), but the first chapter is great visually. Looking forward to next week.
Discuss Spartan Ops, Episode 7, Halo 4, or whatever else.

Up until this point, I had avoided the missions themselves and just watched the cinematics to get the basics of the story. But from what I've heard, it'll be worth giving it a shot.

It seems like Chief might show up at one point, possibly episode 10, since they mentioned him. I hope so.

1 ReplyThis weeks ep finally feels like a REAL story with you doing REAL things. I like how there were ZERO previously used locations, no dumb broad commander lady, no "random button pressing". I really liked Rolands, "Now why would I have Crimson going around pushing buttons that don't do anything!?" line.

Much better. I just played 6 and 7 today, in a row. WAY better than 1-5. I was definitely entertained. The story was interesting, cutscenes great, gameplay didn't feel like 'go here to press a button' very often... it was awesome.

Im really loving how it is all turning out. They noticed how trashy the first half was and are finally putting effort into it and its really paying off. Im loving the enviroments and how little the stupid bitch Palmer is showing up. No more hoards of fuel rod gold elites... just replaced with aimbot carbine whielding Covenant, but its still a lot better. I love the tight corridor combat. 8.5/10

These last two episodes are reason enough to keep the game. Finally, finally I believe that Spartan Ops truly is another campaign and one damn good one at that.

Meh. Honestly I've been getting quite bored of Halo 4. It just doesn't have that same magic you know?

Whoa, enemies board the ship?! Actually sounds quite interesting... maybe I'll actually catch up on my SpOps now.
