official Halo 4

[yardmanflex]

I dunno where Halo 5 will go but the spartan ops episodes could be tying the story together. I'll be gone from home for a month so I won't be able to play epis

ode 3+.

you can still play it locally..by yourself are with a partner.

From the numbers of users I see playing in my area of live, dunno if it's split up by EU and US servers or whatever but way more people seem to play big team slayer compared to a few hundred playing some of the other modes. I figure they see this and just go with that, more maps for more players etc.

I really want to know if they'll do a new season of Spartan Ops or what? The way season one ended is a good setup for halo 5 though.

I think that is a result of Halo 4 launching with mostly larger maps. Most of them are made for 8v8 games and I find myself preferring big team slayer more otherwise I'd spend most time walking around. They kind of fixed it in majestic but it is restricted to its own playlist now and even there I get CTF and other objective types when I want to play just plain old team slayer!

So back to big team slayer for me :/

Spartan Ops is supposed to be based on before Halo 5. I'm only speculating that they will be in search of the rest of the rings, arcs, and any other Forerunner technology they'd hope to not let the Covenant take control of.

But as far as I'm concerned with Dr.Halsey, Master Chief is going to be different in Halo 5, behavior wise, because she obviously was the reason for his generation.

No hint at a season 2 for Spartan Ops? Or maybe it's too soon and they do it closer to the release of the next gen halo 5?

They're not going to release Halo 5 until the next Xbox. Halo is the flagship of each initial Xbox release in my opinion.

Spartan Ops is supposed to help give a better explanation before hand with Dr.Halsey. Cortana is for the main story obviously.

Yeah, I get that, just saying I'd like some more before we move on to halo 5 and the next Xbox.

I agree, I personally wouldn't be shocked (if the next Xbox is released this holiday) to see Spartan Ops be released in like October, with some very large cliffhanger, probably one last big Halo 4 challenge and then Halo 5 this Christmas with Xbox3

I forgot to mention that there will be a season 2, sorry about that. The next season is supposed to be based on the revenge of Dr.Halsey when the Spartans had special orders from ONI or Command to eliminate her.

I only said the next release with Halo because each Halo is supposed to take part in stronger hardware as Microsoft is the publisher and owner of the creators.

Oh, nice. Good to know.

Anyone into achievement 'boosting'? I've gotten 3/9 from matchmaking for the Castle DLC, but want to start maxing out my current games, and seeing as I have recently gotten back into Halo 4 after about 2 months, I've got quite a bit to do.
