I'm hearing talks that the campaign is 3-4 hours long? Can someone confirm that? Because if so, that's absolute bullshit.

Isn't it because they're adding multiplayer campaigns that come in parts? I wonder if you have to pay for those campaigns, it would suck if you did

Around 7-8 hours on normal, roughly.

Also, for 10 weeks after launch, Spartan Ops will get five extra levels and a cinematic for free, so 50 levels in all. (first week is already on disc)

Info from here.

I'm pretty sure it's free.
I just hope I can download them all at once when I get the game later on this year.

Is Spartan Ops exclusively multiplayer, or can I do it solo if I haven't got Live/anyone to play with?

I'm not sure. I'm installing the multiplayer content to my Xbox right now.

As far as campaign's story goes, you really need to read some of the books to understand the main villains motivation.

Also, the facial animation for the humans is awesome. They used the same tech as LA Noire. I'm going to play some online stuff right now and take a break from the campaign.

FUCKING MANTIS
MANTIS SMASH, FOOT CRUSH EVERYONE

FUCK HUNTERS ARENT EASYMODE ANYMORE

PROMETHEAN WEAPONS WOULD BE COOLER IF THEY HELD MORE AMMO I MEAN GODDAMN though i could say the same for all weapons. I don't think I ran out of ammo as fast I did ever than I did in 4

I for one, love the new warthog sound. It just reeks of POWER

ROLLING THUNDER, A GODDAMN MAMMOTH WITH HUGE booty GUN

AUTOSENTRY BRO ARMOR ABILITY

everytime i see the infinity i get a little boner

just so many goddamn badass as shit moments

"I AM ORDERING YOU TO SURRENDER THAT AI TO ME IMMEDIALITY"
"no sir"
captains shit = slapped

ohmygod the sound and feel of all the human weapons feels wonderful, in fact most of them do. Just when you pick up a big weapon and just fire it oooooohgod dat rocket launcher

YOU FINALLY GET A FUCKING PELICAN I WANTED TO STRAFE COVENANT AND AIRDROP BROS i feel that was wasted potential but i'm glad to see branching out into air/space vehicle use

I was worried that you would tell me that Cortana died or something, but I'm glad it's just you fangasaming over small details.

I can confirm that you can play thru the Spartan Ops as a one man army.

Had to sell it it was so bad. Its not Halo anymore, It's Call of duty: Halo (sold out edition).
Game stop would only give like $22 for it so im going to ebay.

I'm sure a majority of people actually like it but.....idk It's just the worst thing ever for me.

No he was trying to trade it in to Gamestop and they are so cheap when you trade in games, so they only offered him $22

Because it's gamestop.

"Fuck you it's our cheddar know." - Gamestop

Okay play halo 1,2,and 3. Then play 4. The game is completely changed.
Not even talking about the story right now.
But the multiplayer is completely centered around a single person's experience and not for the team. To me, that is the difference of halo and call of duty. But now 343 comes along and supercharges Halo for a demographic it has no business being in.
The power-ups you gain from getting a 3 kill streak are OP as they are random. I get a speed boost and ran around all Sanic like assassinating everyone like nobody's business and they got the sword after another kill streak and got way too big of a total kill streak.

The power weapons are too easy to get and far too abundant. Not to mention the aesthetics have a forced fake feel to them and are uninspired.

okay onto the story mode.
WARNING RAGE FUEL PLEASE DON'T READ
The plot is shit.
Also the level design is confusing as hell and hardly supports a co-op mode.
