I responded to it and just had to share my thoughts with you folks.<\/p>\n<p>First I quoted two other forum users and responded in kind.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>If it&#8217;s like $10-15 and the episodes are as good as they have been the last two weeks, then yeah I&#8217;d buy it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Exactly! I&#8217;ve enjoyed all of Spartan Ops to date. The latest two episodes are even better than the first 6.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>if there is a season 2, and I&#8217;m expected to purchase it, it needs the following 3 things.<\/p>\n<p>theater mode support<br \/>\ncampaign scoring<br \/>\nskulls<\/p>\n<p>or it needs to be free. at least for me.\u00a0by that i dont mean that i should be the only one that gets it for free only that this is just my opinion.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Theater mode is one thing that would make me pay for it in an instant. There are SO many screenshots I want to be able to take and can&#8217;t because 343 left it out. Campaign scoring isn&#8217;t a huge deal to me, however it does help to know when you&#8217;ve killed off one of those bigger enemies at a distance so you don&#8217;t waste anymore ammo on an enemy.<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Skulls would be cool, especially if it adds to XP. I&#8217;m already at 130, but still for those who aren&#8217;t it would be a nice aded feature.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>As far as price, as the first person I quoted mentioned, $10-15 would be great. Anything more and you start to get into Arcade game prices. For that there would need to be a bit more.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Longer videos, interaction IN-GAME with Majestic and\/or Palmer, how about adding the Falcon and\/or Pelican to be able to fly in missions? What about the Broadsword in a space mission?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>One thing is for certain, if 343\/M$ is asking us to pay for a Season 2, they need to be a LOT more forthcoming about what we can expect in the next season. What upgrades they are making, general story plot without giving away spoilers. They need to SELL it to us, not ask that we take them blindly on faith.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>They asked us to &#8220;trust them&#8221; before the release of Halo 4. Some feel burned by that comment. While I think Spartan Ops is AWESOME and would buy in a minute, there are many who need to be convinced of why they should pay for more Halo 4 content. So it&#8217;s up to 343 to do that.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This discussion came up on Halo Waypoint.
