"Number of missions has no bearing on the length of the campaign."

The Halo 4 Spartan Ops series of episodic content is longer than Halo 3: ODST, 343 Industries has revealed.

Spartan Ops is a co-op mode that will be released as a series of 10 TV-style episodes following the launch of Halo 4. Each week brings a new episode and with it five missions, each between 10 and 15 minutes long.

Posting on NeoGAF (lybertyboy), Spartan Ops designer David Ellis said: "SpOps season alone is longer than ODST," before adding that Halo 4's campaign and Sparton Ops missions are made by "completely separate teams".

The post was sparked by Halo franchise director Frank O'Connor's (Stinkles) response to concern at the length of the game's campaign following the release of its Achievements.

THE FOLLOWING MAY BE A SPOILER.

The Achievement list revealed the game's campaign includes eight missions.

"Number of missions has no bearing on the length of the campaign," O'Connor said. "It's a Halo sized campaign. PLUS Spops etc."

Halo 3: ODST, Bungie's penultimate Halo game, drew criticism for the length of its campaign, which for some lasted only a few hours.

Spartan Ops = 10 weeks

ODST = 3 - 6 hours

Spartan Ops = 10 weeks

ODST = 3 - 6 hours

also

Cool, I guess. I can't wait until Pax Prime, when they show of the new map.

Wouldn't take much to beat ODST!

lets see IF they are base around 10-15 mins each like they say, 5 a week for 10 weeks making 50 of them per episode.

50x10 mins= 8 hours of content

50x15 mins=12 hrs

DAM that nice price for that amount of content in this gaming world atm

Inb4 Halo 4 is plagued with Paid DLC and Lems enjoy another MEGATON of ownage.

We all know it's comming, it's all lems do around here, get owned.

Still its getting more content at launch than most games, so i dont see the complaint besides paid DLC is extra you dont need to buy it.

ITT: Sony fanboys who can't read.

"Spartan Ops is a series of 10 co-op episodes that will be released for free after the launch of Halo 4."

Try harder fellas.

ODST was amazing, enjoyed it much more than Reach in fact. Given how Bungie even messed up on the last game, i have no faith in 343 who are MSs lackeys.GulliversTravel

The days of me trying to get people to show Halo a little bit of respect are over. They are gonna hate it regardless. I know how good the series is. That is all that matters. They only hate it because they can't play it anyway.

Loving all the lems setting themselves up for serious ownage.

I can't believe they really think Halo 4 won't be riddled with overpriced DLC. It's like they have gold fish memory and keep forgetting this is M$ we're talking about.

Yeah, because Sony doesn't charge for DLC on its games either.

And hey, it's not my fault you can't read and made a stupid comment based on your misinformed opinion.
