Spartan Ops is a mission-based cooperative mode in Halo 4 in which up to four players work as part of a team of SPARTAN-IVs known as Fireteam Crimson performing various objectives. Players' customized loadouts are available during each Spartan Ops chapter and completing a mission gives players XP towards their next rank. Episodes 1-5 are contained in Halo 4's second disc, and episodes 6-10 are available as free downloadable content from the Xbox Live Marketplace. Spartan Ops in Halo 4 requires an Xbox Live Gold membership to play, but the Spartan Ops in Halo: The Master Chief Collection does not.
