The development team at 343 Industries and publisher Microsoft launch a new trailer for their upcoming Halo 4, which focuses on the first season of the new Spartan Ops mode.

Spartan Ops is one of the core new elements of the fourth core game in the Master Chief powered series and is designed to replace the Firefight that gamers enjoyed in Halo 3 and in ODST.

The mode is designed for cooperative play and will see gamers create their own Spartan characters, customize them and then jump into action quickly alongside a group of friends.

343 Industries plans to launch missions for Spartan Ops on a monthly basis in an episodic format and the developers say that they have plans for a number of separate seasons that will each tell a complex story.

Halo 4 will be out on November 6 all over the world and can only be played on the Xbox 360 from Microsoft.
