Spartan Ops mission by mission enemy chart!

Posted on by

While I am working on the rest of the Spartan Ops mission by mission articles, I wanted to give you folks a chart in the meantime that shows the enemies per mission.

Bear in mind that with suicide grunts, totals may vary. As well, with watchers reviving knights, those totals may vary slightly.

A friend of mine shot me a link to these totals and I cross referenced them with my own stats. I fixed a couple (lining up to my stats) and came up with this chart.

Here’s the chart and a little explanation of the colors after.

If you want to see this supersized, click and save or open in a new window.

I split up high Covenant kills and Forerunner kills as blue and red respectively. Solid red and blue denotes the mission with the highest count of that particular enemy, lighter filled boxes denote high counts of that enemy, but not the highest.

Note mission 3-4 has the highest concentration of highest kills counts for Covenant in most categories as does 5-1 for Forerunner enemies. These two missions I highly recommend playing over and over again if you want to get the majority of enemy commendations up in Spartan Ops. Then pick and choose from the other missions to finish up on enemies for commendations. I completed the Covenant Destroyer commendation last night and was rewarded with VERY COOL emblem!

The bigger triangle in the background of the emblem is the standard triangle, while the rest is the awarded emblem.

Feel free to download this chart. If you repost or link to it, please give me credit as “chart designed by Sal at HaloFanforLife.com”

Halo 4 War Games weekly challenges: 1-14/20-13

Campaign challenges will take some time. Those added skulls, plus the difficulty level are going to make these more of a challenge.

Spartan Ops challenges are easy. You can easily get the Elite and Hunter challenges by repeated play of mission 3-4. With there being at least a dozen or better Hunters on that level as well as many elites (including those in the banshees), those two challenges will be easy AND a blast to get! You’ll rack up some grunt kills along the way by playing that mission. Once you’ve finished the Elite and Hunter challenges, switch over to mission 5-4 as you can easily rack up 90 grunt kills in one match. (Look for a chart of enemies per mission later today that breaks down how many of each enemy per missions of Spartan Ops episodes 1-5!)

Whew, the War Games challenges…Okay, the secondary might be doable. But wow 45 WINS of CTF in one week? That’s just over 6 wins a day EVERY day for those week. It’s possible, by likely you won’t be playing much of anything else then. I LOVE CTF mind you, but not enough to devote a complete week of gaming to it.

The final Infinity Challenge is 250 Precision Loadout weapon kills. That is definitely easy enough.

Well there you are. You missions for the week, should you accept them.
