Victory element, To me this seemed a strange choice for 343 industries to have infinite lives/respawns as the only spartan ops setting. Surely patching in some options for this mode would be possible? I confess I am not a programmer so I am not sure what is possible or not BUT this seems a fairly small change. Checkpoints and having the spartan ops work like the campaign when it is played with 2 to 4 players is one option. Having a certain amount of lives is another which perhaps as mentioned could be adjusted by the host. Personally as spartan ops are short missions I don't have a problem with being able to fail each mission and having to start again. Going back to previous checkpoint is another option. I am hoping that 343 industries themselves might respond to this topic.

Personally I liked the majority of the spartan ops levels I have played. I do think the new ones eg episode 6 seem to be better though. However they stll have the same problem namely - INFINITE LIVES. So I say this sincerely to 343 industries .... Can you change this by adding some options, at least in PVT matches and maybe have an option in public matches as well? How about play it like you do in the multi player campaign, if everyone dies then you go back to the last checkpoint. OR Have a certain amount of lives per team (this could be changed by the player to add challenge or make it easier if too hard) Taking away the challenge for me takes away the accomplishment of the missions. Surely this wouldn't be a difficult option to patch in? Just for comparison, halo : reach's firefight mode had loads of options in PVT matches and some in the player matches, infinite lives + 10 lives per team. Spartan ops to me is a good mode apart from this problem. Also - would it be possible to add the "skulls" from the single player campaign into spartan-ops, so the host has the option of turning them on? (just a suggestion this one, not sure if possible?) A post from someone who works at 343 industries would be appreciated on this specific topic. After reading through some other posts both on this forum and others online this does seem to be a fairly frequent complaint about spartan ops and if it could be changed via a patch as suggested earlier this would add alot of replay value to these missions IMHO.
