Spartan Ops Needs Rebalancing for SOLO

[SupremeChongus]

Normal levels of enemies are like Heroic, and heroic like legendary
plus more enemies yes it does make the game more difficult, but it is not proper scaling of difficulty.
Beat the first 4 Episodes and 2 mission of 5, and I was supposed to save 3 scientists SOLO with 20 Crawlers and 4 Knights to deal with, not the easiest thing to do, nor really possible for everyone to do (not to mention those crappy watchers). Rebalace Spartan Ops for Solo Play, I get it was meant to be for 4 people, and back in 2012 it had matchmaking for that, but this is just so frustrating that it is becoming not fun to slug through.
Give us better cover and rebalance the game to work better and feel more fair 100% of the time.
I feel it is 100% fair like 25% of the time, and the 75% is total BS, why would anyone program AI to be like this and THIS MANY AT ONCE that Swarm my Position.

Poor AI Programming + Swarm Mentality + Bad Scaling (Player Weapons are Weak and have no range, but AI Enemies have all the range and are strong) makes for a bad difficulty experience.
Least 343i could do is let us use the Rebalancing mods without having to disable EAC.
If they did like COD (which they were clearly going for in Halo 5) and put Multiplayer into on Launcher and PvE (campaign, Firefight, Spartan Ops, Forge+Custom Games) into another launcher then I could see them disabling EAC on the PvE side of things, well.. solo PvE or Friendly Co-Op PvE... Anyway Spartan Ops needs a rebalance, what I have faced on heroic and normal is not really meant for Solo Play, unless you like hiding in a corner and shooting out or running and and being shot from literally every direction known to a game. Up down left right, sideways, backwards, diagonally, squagonally... seriously, prometheans were the worst thing to come to Halo. Bring back the Plague, bring back the Flood.

Though, Chances are the comments here are going to be the generic toxic remarks I see everywhere on steam discussions, and no one will agree that the prometheans suck. Even though they do.or agree with me on anything, cause that is just what steam breeds :D
but its ok, I unsub from these and go talk to 343i directly to get stuff done, so nothing matters here anyway, 343i doesnt even pay attention here.

Not really, there are way to many enemies for one person to handle without dieing a bunch, at least you can respawn infinitly.

It's difficulty by yourself on normal, can't imagine how difficult it is on higher difficulties.

No amount of work can help spartan ops.
It’s bland asset reuse that’s just there to make it seem Halo 4 has more content then it actually does.
I’ve finished it all on solo legendary for the achievement and I’ll never touch it again.

...But by doing that, you've already placed it on a very high pedestal. The amount of time and effort you put into that achievement is synonymous with giving Spartan Ops the highest form of honor, that you would want to experience it in such a way and be rewarded for your experience.

You can't finish Spartan Ops legendary solo and then turn around and say that it's trash. That's like hanging out at a playground that you think is ♥♥♥♥♥♥, the swings are broken, the slides don't make you slide, and there's a better playground right nearby, and you still go to this bad one and say "damn this sucks" but you keep going there.

You're going to spend all that time and energy, giving that game mode the honor that is YOUR time and energy as a human being, and then say that it's garbage?

I think that says more about you than anything else. You've given a lot of respect to something you think is irredeemable trash. Have you ever thought about what that means for yourself? How do you see yourself?

I didn't say it was Trash or Garbage.
I said it was Bland Asset Reuse, It's not awful enough to be legitimately bad, but it didn't have enough effort / budget to actually be worth experiencing more then once.
But despite that I still want all the Achievements in the MCC, so i wasn't going to let some "Meh" content eventually leave me at 99% when I only had to just get it over with once.
Did I put in some "Time" sure, but "Effort" no it took no effort whatsoever because you have unlimited lives, I simply had videos on my second screen going while playing.

I get the feeling. I'm playing though the whole thing on Heroic, and it gets pretty frustrating when you're swarmed with enemies. Chapter 5-1 is among the worst; small clausterphobic map and you get easily overrun by scattershot promethean knights with little chance to take them or the watchers who resurrect the downed knights out. (Hell, there's an achievement I got for getting through this, it's that stupidly difficult.) At least death lacks consequence here.
The problem is that Spartan Ops was designed with coop in mind. So much for that when there aren't any servers for it. It also doesn't help that Spartan Ops lacks the reputation to warrent such servers (I'd be surprised if any do go online along with the rest of Coop Campaign if and when that happens). It may well be doomed to be a forgettable part of the Master Chief Collection to the point where you can't easily play it as it was intended to be.

Literally all they had to do was add matchmaking to it like they did with FF. Solo Spartan ops was never fun even on the 360
