Halo 4 Spartan Ops is bad

[OneOneSeven]

Yes, I will complain.
I decided to complete spartan ops achievements after 3 years of h4 release on PC
So achievements is pretty easy.
Complete solo on Legendary 50 BORING ASS ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ MISSIONS
I mean the idea with live-service storytelling is pretty good, but in-game mission implementation is bad, even worse.
They tried to copy Mw2 (2009) & Mw3 (2011) spec ops mission which they were amazing and unique to play.

I can't even play couple missions in SPartan ops, they are bad, no interesting and repetetive.
I think it would much better if they just made Classic Firefight, I mean come on why H3 odst and HR firefight so interesting to play? Because that's good game design by Bungie, not crappy 343i.
Come on, have they tested their missions before releasing it? have they realised how bad are their missions?
I would replay all laso playlist rather than completing all 50 ass boring missions.

Its no worse than all the other halo campaigns, they are all boring kinda fun the first time, mainly just dual wielding, i dont think ive ever done a second playthrough of any halo game.

tell me you cant beat legendary solo Ops with out telling me you cant beat legendary solo ops

Spartan Ops isnt hard, just boring. This is because you have unlimited lives there. Soloing Firefight limited is harder, for example imo. You also dont have timers in Spartan Ops either...

Hottest halo takes in 2023:

"Halo 4 isnt good"
"I dont like Spartan Ops"
"343 sucks"
"Halo 5 sucks"

These threads have the most coldest takes ever I could put em in a freezer and they'd warm up.

Imo if there was matchmaking for Spartan Ops they would probably be more beareable than what they are in their current state...MCC doesnt support this feature yet sadly v.v

This. Adding medals would also engage players to embody themselves deeper into this mode, like for example killing X enemies in row without dying to try not to rush the mobs knowing there is no death penalty here.

Oddly enough the infinite lives system is reminicing of the more arcady Firefight modes (like Fistfight, for example that has the system until the bonus round). Which is a minor issue, especially on higher difficulties there is so much trash you cant even just run to them without dying in 5 secs (which btw is no fun, unless you enjoy frustration). The real issue is Spartan Ops is not toned down for a solo play experience (so its like playing Halo 3 Cortana on Legendary multiple times in a single episode of a chapter, which is sooo boring). By the end of a single episode (10 chapters, 50 episodes total in MCC) you will die more times from stuff than from the Rocket Flood (in CE and 2), Sniper Jackals (in 2), Hammer Chieftains (in 3), broken Elites (in 2, Reach and 4) and Knights (in 4). Thats a slogfest. Not to mention the worst offenders being the early 5 chapters which have a lot of repetition. So the achievements for the mode as they stand right now are just tedious, not impossible to achieve...

Lets be real though, the missions have their own exclusive music, some of them. Music from episode 4 and 6 are pretty intense in a good way. Can't seem to understand what music name it is via YT

I'd rather be waterboarded than redo the Spartan Ops solo legendary achievement.

The worst part wasnt even the slog gameplay, it was the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ writing and voice acting.

I agree, boring as ♥♥♥♥

I got the solo legendary achievement for it quite recently and it's insanely awful, repetitive and boring, it's not even particularly difficult just annoying and the enemies in h4 are not fun engagements, at all.
