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.

I'm a little disappointed that they're making something similar to CoD. That's not a good thing. I hope this will still be fun, but I will definitely miss Firefight. I guess we will have to wait and see...

This Could Be good or Bad due to the fact that it will be the same length as the campaign but lets wait and see

Not too thrilled with this. I want Halo 4 to be unique, not like the Call of Duty series.

Well, I'm not trippin about this because they said something like in Custom Games, there are now more options then ever so maybe you could possibly create your own type of Firefight Variant in there? Possibly?
Spartan Operations, sounds a bit bad but I'm hoping it will be fun. :)
