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.

But it's fun, just funner with more people. Don't do it on Legendary if you're trying to enjoy it, unless that's the kind of thing you enjoy. The levels do get monotonous, playing on the same level more than once, but I understand why, since it sounds like Spartan Ops was a last minute edition. The second half of the season was better than the first...But I do recommend playing all of the chapters, even from the first half. The cinematic's were great, it's just kind of frustrating since it's progressed some story wise...But I'm still wanting a lot more. It seemed to take a while to build up, and at the end, [spoiler] The UNSC just has another enemy they wouldn't have had if certain events that shouldn't have happened, happened. But I suppose that's how all enemies are made. (Jul M'dama shouldn't have been allowed to explore forerunner ruins, Halsey shouldn't have had a hit put out) I hope that Halsey doesn't go crazy and start enacting revenge, but 343 already chopped off her arm, sent Cortana into oblivion, I'm not sure what to expect. I'm sitting here thinking "I trusted you 343! What have you done?" while I still do, I just hope that it doesn't get ridiculous/crazy. Such as Cortana really being gone. [/spoiler] All in all, I look forward to a second season, since I suspect it will be MUCH better than the first since they'll have had more time to plan it with the feedback they've been given. I'm just hoping for better cutscenes where if your pelican crashes, there is actually that cutscene and you having to get out, instead of "Bam! Your pelican crashed! But you're Ok, and standing outside it." (We know you can put our actual Spartans in the cutscenes 343!) So yes, Spartan ops overall was good. Play through on Easy if that's what it takes, but I suggest playing through them at least once, that way you'll appreciate it when they're better if nothing else =D
