There, I said it, I liked Spartan Ops. I thought that it was a great way to add more story to the game and to really get your spartan character into the narrative. Was it a good mode? Yes. Was it a good replacement for firefight? Heck no. That doesn't mean that it wasn't good though.

It was a pretty unique experience to me. No, it wasn't the best, and the levels were recycled, but there were some moments that said to me "This could be really good". I enjoyed the weekly bonus content, I enjoyed the story a lot. Overall, I feel the shortcomings of SpOps can be tied to the current generation hardware. With Cloud and Next Gen, I expect SpOps to be what it always should have been: Excellent.
