Today’s game is some more Halo 4 Spartan Ops. We’ve been picking away at this daily on Legendary, we’re now on Episode 5. It’s definitely an experience different from Core Halo. Mostly because of some of the changes they made to the game that make it a far different experience.
Because the game basically has no penalty for dying for some reason, I’ve been perching myself up on hills with a DMR and playing Sniper. When i run out i’ll go down with my Magnum and try too clear the field. More often than not though i’ll die and have to respawn with more DMR rounds. Rinse and repeat. It feels a bit cheap at times, but as long as i’m not killing myself for more Ammo i suppose it’s fine.
There was one level on Valhalla we did and it gave us Warthogs which just kept respawning. I feel like that’s Spartan Ops’s biggest flaw, there doesn’t feel like any lose conditions.
i also wanted to point out that i redid my Spartan armor to be a inverse Tiger Stripes because i’m really pleased with it. Why Tiger Stripes? Tigers are some of the coolest big cats.
The last Chapter of Episode 4 though, it dragged on a little too long. I will admit, it was late and i was blanking a bit. But basically we had to defend a station i believe. It gave us a ton of Power Weapons but it felt like it dragged on and on even with them. The Power Weapons respawned too, so it wasn’t a difficulty thing. Besides that though, Spartan Ops has been a lot of fun. It’s nice having a 4 player Co-op themed mode specifically. I wish other Halo’s had this. We have a lot of fun dorking around while playing. Hopefully tomorrow we’ll get to Episode 5/10!
