Re: 2 Week Code

In Response To: Re: 2 Week Code (Xenos)

: They haven't announced a Season 2 for sure, and it is rumored to be canceled.
: As far as a 2 week code, I apparently lost all of mine when I moved,
: sorry.

I can't say I didn't really see this coming. I played the first set of missions, and it seemed to be an incoherent story with a lack of interesting design.

A problem is that it doesn't scale with the number of players, so it's essentially impossible to create a proper difficulty progression for anything other than how many ever players they designed it with in mind (seems like 2, since playing with 3 or 4 players, even on legendary, was maddeningly easy).

Infinite Lives, Lack of friendly fire, etc make it so there's really no challenge.

If there's a season 2, this should happen:

- Either give players one life each, or use a checkpoint system where you are rolled back where you die. If you play with friends, this should happen too, as if the iron skull is on.
- Each scenario should have 4 configurations: one for solo players, duos, three, and four.
- Friendly fire should be turned on.
- It's okay to reuse geometry as long as you have well designed encounters.
- The story should make more sense, or else just eliminated all together.

343 should play all of the Vanquish challenge maps, realize why they are excellent, and apply that to Spartan Ops since the idea is somewhat similar. They are excellent, and my only complaint is that there are only 6 of them and not like 50.
