<p>One of the biggest changes to the Halo series coming with <em>Halo 4</em> is the <a href="http://www.theverge.com/gaming/2012/5/16/3024164/halo-4-spartan-ops-missions-will-be-weekly-limited-edition-detailed">introduction of Spartan Ops</a>, which takes the classic Halo co-op gameplay and spins it off into its own adventure. Spartan Ops&#8217; episodic additions will tell the story of the <em>UNSC Infinity</em> as it intersects with the events of <em>Halo 4</em> and beyond.</p>

<p>Check out the new trailer below for a look at one of the Spartan Ops missions in action. It looks an awful lot like Halo co-op, but when that includes all of the new enemies, visual upgrades, and other bonuses that <em>Halo 4</em> is bringing to the franchise, that&#8217;s not a bad thing.</p>
