What do you expect? Spartan Ops didn't pan out quite like they hoped. But they got valuable experience and knowledge regarding episodic content. I bet Halo 5 will have an upgraded spartan ops experience. After the success of the walking dead, I would bet many game studios are looking into dlc like this.
I don't think we'll see a spartan ops season 2, who would actually fork out the cash? I mean the numbers for crimson and majestic weren't as good either.
Don't get me wrong I think Ellis and his team really finished the first season strongly, and I'm sure they'd have carried the quality onto season 2, but I think for now spartan ops is done.
On a side note, just got 32 kills in a swat match on complex and the rest of my team couldn't even break double digits. Trueskill?

Suppose, one can only take so many eggheads, crimson and buttons at once.

Please, PLEASE! Be Forgeworld 2!!!! I feel so inclosed on those other Forge maps.
Hopefully we get a Human City, Desert, and a Snow forge world. Or just a flat piece of land so the ground in maps aren't always so gross.

Three year contracts? jeeze, In the US it's 2 year contracts and it still seems to outdates phones early into their contracts.
These forge maps are LITERALLY 10x better than everything we got in Reach. All we need is Sanctuary proper to get added and maybe a Warlock/Wizard remake.
This is a picture they posted on Valentines day. It was a Forge related pun, on a map we haven't seen.
Confirmed not Spartan Ops map by David Ellis.
Doesnt look like Ravine, just go play on the map and compare the two.
in last Nights Bulletin, BS angle said
Anvils, as in Forge (The main icon for Forge is an Anvil)
And today, Vic Deleon (343i employee, creates the environments you play on in the game, great guy btw) tweeted BS angle this picture
So yes, Forgeworld 2 bro.

Ooh, perhaps it'll have the Siege Bike and VTOL? And stick a Mammoth or an Elephant on it. = Best Forge map ever.

I agree, I enjoy the forge maps on halo 4. I just feel like there is not enough flat lands and open spaces in those maps. Impact is the only one that has this but it's not that much tho.

People who enjoy shooting big guns are obviously evil and/or Hitler Youth.
On that note, the M249 is a blast that's over way too fast!

That soviet cannon thing he shot was awesome.

M249 is a real-life SAW. Image for reference.
Thing goes through ammo so damn fast.

LMGs seem cool enough, never shot one.
Always wanted to fire a Tommy Gun. Maybe an MG42. I really like WWII guns. So many of the weapons were experimental and odd.

Lolwut? It doesn't make any sense to me.
No I cant but I also had to read today in gandhi's stream that the only difference between pros and casuals in Halo 2 was the ability to do the double shot
Halo 3 servers are up and even Halo 4 with ingame ranking system wouldnt keep players like Halo 2 did lol

Looks to me like they are saying ranks are bad for business because people become attached to what they've earned. Thus a game with ranks will inhibit its successor
Kind of like people not wanting to jump to other mmos because of time investment.
Thanks.

ForgeWorld sounds great, wish it would be more Covenant or Promethean playground instead of something we had before. That's me though.
That doesn't make any sense at all. Halo 2 Xbox went down with the rest of the Xbox Original ship, not because they had issues getting people over to Halo 3. Each Halo continues to decimate the population of the previous. They don't have the CoD "problem" of the last game not being replaced for two years.

I don't see how you can come to that conclusion. The natural terrain in Halo 4's forge maps is nearly unusable. And if you want to make a big team map? Forget it.

Tens of thousands of fun!
that thing is selling a shit tons of units here in mexico and the poor xbox and sony vendors are just mad about it.
Because of the maps in Throwdown/Dubs/some that were in the community forge test.
And you wanna know why? A lot of them were simple, symmetrical, small, and most of all, had STATIC WEAPON SPAWNS.

it makes no sense. It completely ignores the fact that if the next game is better people will buy it. Simply having visible ranks doesn't make people stay, people just play the better game. Lets say Halo 4 gets visible ranks, that wouldn't keep people from playing Halo 5 if Halo 5 was a good game that also had visible ranks.
Also his halo 2 argument was flawed. Sure, Halo 2 had an active community even during Halo 3's life span, but it wasn't anything significant in comparison to Halo 3.

Oh. If what's being said is that the maps people have map with forge is Halo 4 are superior, then sure. I thought what was being said was the without any placed objects, Halo 4's three forge maps are superior to the forge world from Reach. The layout of the maps themselves, not what people do with them.

static weapon spawns are so refreshing, I want to see them on more maps outside of throwdown
it really makes a huge difference
Who is tashi quoting though? It doesn't make much sense to me, because without ranks, I'll quit playing the game much sooner and probably not care about it going forward.
So in a sense, yes they will sell shit tons of copies, but you'll have a declining population, much like Reach and now Halo 4 have shown.
Ranks aren't just for the Gandhi or Ninja pro's, but for everyone who wants some type of feedback as to whether they are improving as a player or not. I don't care about armor, i don't care about grinding for exp, I would however like to gauge my progress as a player.
I'd like to know I'm only a level 35 player, so that I know where I stand, and can try and improve myself. For the folks who don't want ranks, they have social playlists.

Hey, I love my Wii U! It's a lot of fun when you get a group of people playing Nintendoland.

Yes you would. Just because I keep going +9 each match doesn't tell me anything. What rank were the people I was up against? Were the teams even?
That was the good thing about Halo 3, when you would keep beating people that were close to your rank and moving up. And sometimes, it felt good as a colonel winning clutch matches against a team of brigadiers or generals in team slayer.
It's very hard to gauge real improvement because there are so many playlists and because we have other things going on. Sure I can tell that I'm playing better now than I was at launch, that doesn't mean anything to me.
What's even worse is, before I could have bungie.net open on a laptop near me and quickly search my gamer tag or people I'm up against and get some quick info. But waypoint is slow and a mess and requires sign in. The new bungie is even more confusing as well. Here's hoping some type of state tracking like the waypoint app are built in to the next game as are ranks.
I don't know how else to explain it, I need ranks more than I need a grind based exp bar that makes me feel like a hamster on a wheel. I'm not even that good anymore compared to the Halo 2 days.
