Microsoft and 343 Industries have released a new trailer for its first-person shooter, Halo 4. The video recaps episodes 1-5 of the game's cooperative multiplayer mode, Spartan Ops.
Here is list of episodes from the first half of Spartan Ops season one with a short synopsis for each:
Episode One: Taking place 6 months after the events of Halo 4, join the Spartan IV fireteams aboard the UNSC Infinity as they continue to investigate the mysteries of Requiem.
Episode Two: The mysterious artifact recovered from Requiem takes control of vital systems on board the UNSC Infinity, forcing the Spartans of Crimson and Majestic back down to the planet to look for a way to free the ship.
Episode Three: Some call Dr. Catherine Halsey a war criminal, others believe her creation of the Spartans saved humanity from extinction. Whatever you believe, right now she is the UNSC Infinity's only hope to understand the mysterious artifact retrieved from Requiem, and she needs your boots on the ground to get more intel, Spartan.
Episode Four: An unknown intelligence contacts Doctor Halsey, Thorne tries to understand the history of the Spartan Program, and the Sangheili terrorist known as "The Didact's Hand" appears on Requiem... but what is he searching for? Spartans, prepare for things to get rough on Requiem.
Episode Five: Secrets are revealed, trusts betrayed, and the Sangheili leader Jul 'Mdama's ultimate plan nears success. As Infinity's command crew makes a discovery that changes everything we thought we knew about the Forerunner Prometheans, the Spartans must attempt to rescue one of their own.
