Season 1 has ended today. Even though I haven't played it, I've been hearing some things over on GAF. So if you've finished it, what did you think of the ending, and Spartan Ops as a whole? Obviously there will be spoilers so be warned.

The missions were pretty fun, they were all on previous maps but there are some huge new areas that open up and were pretty fun to play on - specifically the mission where you have to board the Lich, really enjoyed that. As for the story, my mouth was totally agape when we found out Jul cut off Halsey's arm to save her. I'm looking forward to seeing where this strand of the story goes in Season 2 since we've got the whole thing with the Absolute Record and the Janus Key to worry about. It's a shame to say goodbye to Requiem after only 3 months, but the story has to move forward to other places - and I wonder if all the Promethean-Knights are dead or if Jul took some with him... All that said, I did think that the ending felt pretty abrupt and could've done more to give some hints as to what we can possibly expect next. Overall, Spartan Ops has been a mixed success for me. After the [i]unbearable[/i] first 5 Episodes, they got their shit together and delivered some really great missions. I hope they learn from what they've done well and poorly in Season 1 and manage to give us a much more well-rounded Season 2 - which I imagine will take a good few months to complete.
