At nearly every turn, Spartan Ops let IGN editors down for failing to live up to Halo standard — and that finally changes on Monday, January 21. Episode Six of Halo 4’s downloadable weekly cooperative campaign kicks off the second half of Season One, and it goes to great lengths to make up for past mistakes.
During the mid-season break, 343 Industries worked to strengthen the second half of Spartan Ops season one by addressing fan feedback and important criticisms head-on. First and foremost, the gameplay and story intertwine in more meaningful ways, with first-person cutscenes, mid-mission radio chatter, and character motivations meant to connect you to more than just combat. Objectives throughout Episode Six tie closer to events going on elsewhere — in the first chapter, Crimson had been captured by the same Covenant group that captured Spartan Thorne during the mid-season finale. Their escape involved Ghosts, optional Banshees, ground-based combat, a lot of Jackals and suicidal Grunts, sneaking through groups of sleeping Covenant, and a brutal airstrike.

Halo 4 developer 343 Industries made a number of announcements today, highlighted by an upcoming Virgin Gaming-sponsored tournament that can score you a Halo 4-themed Ford F-150 SVT Raptor pickup (as seen in Forza Horizon) or an appearance in a future Halo game.
Beginning today, all Halo 4 players worldwide can begin registering for the free-to-enter “Infinity Challenge” by visiting the official website. Then, on December 17, qualifying will begin for both the War Games and Spartan Ops arms of the competition. For War Games — where the Ford truck is the prize — you simply have to play in the Infinity Challenge matchmaking playlist in order to start climbing the leaderboards. This playlist will rotate game types each week and will include Infinity Slayer, Regicide, Dominion, and Capture the Flag. The rankings will group players into three tiers, with the Tier 1 folks eligible for the top prizes. Qualifying ends January 10, 2013, and the finals will begin on January 12.
