Spartan-G056

I think Spartan Ops in Halo 5 should be DLC. Let me explain. Halo 5 releases you get Campaign, Multiplayer, Firefight, Forge Modes just like Halo: Reach So we get our Moneys worth. I know it would be convient for Spartan Ops to be free, but otherwise we would get Spartan Ops from Halo 4 again. It would be a mass collection of replaying levels and just fighting through same thing over and over. What I feel 343 should do is after the game is released have a small team work on the new Spartan Ops. Have them design new levels, and try to bridge the gap between Halo 5 and Halo 6 with a new story experience. Have the story revolve around a Spartan Team just like the original Spartan Ops, but give it the player actually play as their Spartan, just like in Halo: Reach with the armor customization, and it transfering into the story and cutscenes and all that. Make the players pay for Spartan Ops so that 343 can get the funds they need so they can make more. This way they are not using more money than they are bringing in. 343 can also use this DLC as a way to do a little experimenting. They can add a few things and get some player feed back without wrecking the whole experience. Doing this we as players will get more "meat" with the overall game, can potentially add to the overall replay ability of the game, and 343 will get a chance to make some more money, and provide more to us more for the game. Without it just being map packs. (Don't get me wrong. Map Packs are awsome.)

When it comes to hunters I don't feel that you should be able to assassinate them. Just for the sole fact they are a big unit that is supposed to be a challenge. However something I think could work is they could be treated like vehicles. Meaning you could board the back of the hunter. For balancing purposes though I think you should have to melee and bust off their armor. Which then you could tag them with a grenade, stab them with your combat knife, or if you are carrying one, plunge an energy sword into them, but in the process of doing this you would be exposed to enemy fire, so as to presuade you not to do this the first chance you get, as it could result in getting shot. Having it to where the Hunter can try to, or succeed in knocking you off could be added. It could add a new level of fighting Hunter, but still make them a challenge.

I wouldn't mind see the Didact as a playable character. I think it would be kinda cool to have a few missions where you play as the Didact whenever the Forerunners were in power battling against the Flood before the activation of the Halo Rings.
