Halo 4: Spartan Ops Returns, Episode 7 Trailer Inside

Sounds promising.
I enjoyed them, but they got super repetitive.

I thought they were pretty misleading. I expected actual missions, I got Firefight but with someone yelling at you.

They definitely had their flaws, I won't argue that. I haven't looked at it like you do though, I was expecting them to be more like CoD's Spec Ops mode, so Spartan ops turning out like this wasn't really a surprise. My only real gripes are the inability to play them via system link. The other being the constant recycling of the maps in the first 5 episodes. I think its a great concept, but a kinda half as*ed execution.

This is your first view of what an Halo MMO might be like.

Misleading CG sequences, and recycled areas, and repetitive gameplay.

Well, Halo has a long history of recycled areas, starting from the first game making you backtrack through about half of it.

No. That was a level. When the story calls for that "setting", that's when it makes sense. I don't wanna go from a outdoor environment, walk into a door and suddenly appear in a space ship. They're just being lazy here. There's a different "story" but they're dropping you into the (sometimes) exact same areas from the campaign. Reusing areas and backtracking are two different things.
