Spartan Ops definitely sounds amazing, and fortunately what they currently have planned, they have said is all free! I'm sure they're will be some paid DLC down the line, but I think a good 12 months worth at least can be wrung from the game without paid DLC.
I'm looking forward to when it releases November (Right BenV?! :D), and I may just lose bulk of my work productivity to this game!
Also, note sure if posted yet, but:
When Bungie split with Microsoft and parted ways with Halo, not everyone was interested in saying goodbye. Frank O' Connor decided to stay with the Halo universe and serve as the franchise development director for 343 Industries. Since he was heavily involved in the development, we talked to him about how Halo 4's narrative will connect with Halo 3 and how the formation of a new team has affected the tone of the series. Watch the video below to see what he has to say, and feel free to check out this bonus portion of the interview on our YouTube channel in which he talks about the difference in studio cultures between Bungie and 343 Industries.
