Halo 4's Spartan Ops Episode 2 is now available
Yesterday, Episode 2 of Spartan Ops dropped instantly into Halo 4, which means it's available right now. Episode 1 is still a thing, so you don't have to worry about missing out. For those of you who are confused on what Spartan Ops actually is, it's basically the third part of Halo 4 in addition to War Games (standard multiplayer) and the campaign. These missions take place parallel to Master Chief's story, and incorporate your multiplayer character/loadout. 343 is making the first ten episodes available on a weekly basis, but hasn't really said what will happen after that. Perhaps more free episodes? Paid DLC? I guess we'll see! In other news, if you're into War Games, SWAT has made its way to matchmaking. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
