Fans of Halo Infinite are calling for the return of the classic Spartan Ops mode from Halo 4. The mode was a cooperative campaign mode that allowed players to take on missions with up to three friends. Players could also create their own custom Spartan and earn experience points to level up their character.
While the mode wasn’t without its flaws, with some criticizing its use of recycled campaign levels from Halo 4, there was an acceptance that any Halo Infinite version would have the powerful Forge tool to create brand-new levels that could surpass everything that’s come before. Many players have shared their memories of the mode on Reddit, both good and bad, and have been advocating for its return.
At the moment, Halo Infinite is still working on adding features that many people were hoping to see when the game came out. But the Halo community has been very critical of the game’s maker, 343 Industries, in the last few years. A lot of fan-favorite maps and game modes were recently taken out of Season 3 of Halo Infinite, which didn’t help much. Bringing back a mode that a lot of players liked over the years would go a long way toward restoring fan trust in a developer who needs it badly right now.
Spartan Ops was ahead of its time for a game that came out in 2012. It is very similar to the live-service model used by many multiplayer games in 2023, since the story is told in a continuous way across different episodes. Even though the mode wasn’t loved by everyone when it first came out in Halo 4, it was a step forward for the series.
Even though fans have asked for it, there has been no official word that the mode will be in Halo Infinite. It could be something that is looked into when more important things in the game are done. In the meantime, the game still has plenty upcoming for long-time fans of the franchise. A recent leak showed that the Infection will be back in Halo: Infinite, and it looks like it will be a part of the game’s story. Also, developers are still learning how to use the amazing Forge mode. This, along with the custom game browser, could be the perfect combination to keep players coming back to Halo Infinite.
Overall, bringing back the classic Spartan Ops mode could be a great way for 343 Industries to win back some of the fans who have been disappointed with the recent changes to the game. Even though it’s not clear if the mode will come back or not, it’s clear that people want it, and it would be a great addition to an already great game.
