Report: Halo 4 ditching Firefight mode for Spartan Ops
A poster on the NeoGAF forums got a copy of the magazine and has written up what was revealed in the Halo 4 preview. We won't go over everything that the poster wrote (we really think you should buy the magazine) but we will talk about a couple of the more interesting facts that came up in the article.
One of the biggest changes in Halo 4 is that the popular Firefight gameplay mode won't appear in the game. Firefight, where up to four players have to deal with endless waves of enemies, made its debut in Halo 3: ODST and returned in 2010's Halo Reach. The game's single player storyline will still have four player co-op support.
However, there's also a new gameplay mode in Halo 4 called Spartan Ops. This will be a single-player mode that's similar to the Spec Ops co-op mode found in the more recent Call of Duty: Modern Warfare games. The plan is to release new Spartan Ops missions after Halo 4 is released and that ultimately it will be close to the regular Halo 4 single player campaign in terms of length.
Halo 4 is currently set for a fall 2012 release date and it seems likely that it will be Microsoft's biggest first party Xbox 360 game of the year.

Although I'm very iffy about this game, I'm not going to judge it yet. I'm still waiting for a full gameplay demonstration. I do have hope for this game.
You can't deny it though; Halo 4 so far is having an interesting amount of new features very similar to COD. BUT, that does not mean that the way they implement it will be the same. I hope that this game turns out much better than Reach did.

kinda sad but Reach Firefight was bad it was either too easy or too overwhelming with nothing to do but in ODST you had to reserve ammo stick together most of the time with was fun

IglesiasHalo4 How about we judge the game and assume things after we watch gameplay footage from the actual game. No, not a 5 second look, actual gameplay. :)
Agreed, there's already a flame war when we didn't see anything yet. Soo many cod fan boys.
Agreed i think the multiplayer and campaign will make up for it if spartan ops is a complete copy of spec ops
