A few months ago, I did a post on how I would've written Halo 4's campaign, and because I can't wait to post my rewrite of Halo 5, I have to rewrite Spartan Ops, because the rewrite of Halo 5 follows the ending of Spartan ops. I initially wanted to do 2 seasons of SO, but the first one has a plot too similar to the story of Red vs. Blue, so that was scrapped. Anyway, this is my rewrite of Halo 4: Spartan Ops.
Episode 1
Master Chief and Alpha Nine (Buck's squad) go on a mission to kill an insurrectionist leader and his crew. Most of them are armed with Promethean Weaponry given to them by a Covenant remnant ruled by Brutes. Chief learns that the Brutes also get Railguns in exchange for the Promethean weapons. Chief and the ODSTs, despite their rivalry, kill the Brutes and the Insurrectionists but the Leader and his bodyguards acquired advanced suites of armor and Promethean Binary Rifles. After a long boss fight, The Rookie finally manages to kill the Leader. Buck and his men now respect the Chief after seeing him fight for them, and the Chief heads to the Infinity.
Episode 2
Chief has a new mission: Assist the Arbiter in taking back Sangheilios from Jul 'Mdama. The shield of Sangheilios is almost entirely blown up from previous conflicts. It leaves the planet vulnerable to an attack from the Covenant Separatists. Chief helps the Arbiter in destroying a new covenant vessel called Kraken. After destroying the Kraken's legs, Chief enters a forerunner facility where he fights Promethean forces and enters a forerunner armory.
Episode 3
Chief enters the Armory, grabs a few weapons and grenades, and proceeds. He returns to the surface only to find that a second Kraken has been deployed. Chief boards an enemy Banshee and flies through a canyon with a Banshee squadron escorting him. He then proceeds to kill the Kraken's escort: 2 Phantoms and 3 Banshee squadrons. After clearing the area, the Chief can either take out the Kraken's legs or board the Kraken, destroy the power core, and escape.
Episode 4
With the Krakens destroyed, The Arbiter and the Shadow of Intent proceed to bomb Jul's bases, While Chief goes to board Jul 'Mdama's Brigantine. On the way, He encounters Phantoms, Liches, and Banshees trying to prevent him from boarding the ship and buy their leader time. Chief kills them but the Brigantine's turrets destroy his Banshee it crashes on the ground. Jul 'Mdama escapes Sangheilios and his forces fall back.
Episode 5
Lasky contacts Chief, revealing that Jul 'Mdama is attacking the UNSC Infinity with all of his forces. Chief arrives on the Infinity and defends 2 hangars from Covenant boarding parties before assisting First Lieutenant Stacker in reactivating 4 M85 AA guns. He later assists Gypsy Company in escorting high-level assets to safety. The Spartans of Gypsy Company disrespect the Chief and praise the new generation of Spartans and their advanced technology until they all die in an explosion and Master Chief has to escort the assets himself. After doing so, Lasky tells Chief that Jul Kidnapped Dr. Halsey because she possessed the Janus key, which reveals every piece of forerunner technology in the galaxy. Chief takes a Banshee and follows the retreating covenant forces.
Episode 6
The Covenant Remnant reaches a forerunner world called Kamchatka where they can activate the Janus key and also access the planet's data network. Chief boards the Carrier only to find the 'Mdama and Halsey went to the planet's surface. Chief goes to the prison section of his ship and frees a Covenant Remnant leader called Sali 'Nyon and in exchange for the rescue, he helps Chief free other prisoners and sows chaos on the ship. Chief boards an enemy Lich and flies to Jul 'Mdama's location.
Episode 7
Meanwhile, Jul activates the Janus key. Halsey notices that there's a facility on the planet Meridian, where the forerunners used to revive completely dead Ancillas. Chief crashes his Lich on a Kraken, destroying it, but he escapes on time. He encounters dozens of Elites, Grunts, and Jackals protecting 'Mdama and eliminates them. He then activates a light bridge leading to 'Mdama's location. Chief discovers 'Mdama and his bodyguards and a boss battle begins. After a hard fight, Chief manages to kill 'Mdama and the guards but in his last moments, Jul throws a plasma grenade at the janus key, destroying it.
Halsey tells him that there's a place where he can perhaps revive Cortana. She reveals it's on the planet Meridian and it's heavily guarded. Chief replies that he can deal with it. Infinity contacts Master Chief, ordering him and Halsey to return to the ship. Chief disobeys the order and says that 'Mdama is dead and they can get Halsey back, but his real mission is just getting started.
