Did u think it was weird that they wore zero gear? Like the Spartan suit is gone, but they could have put on a marine helmet, right? Even if you're a badass soldier a headshot with zero protection is fatal ...but they didn't wanna grab helmets or any type of armor from the Marines?
The best thing I like about this show is the main thing purist are complaining about....not being a 1:1 with the game/books. I like the fact that I can actually have anticipation, nervousness, curiosity about what's going to happen next. If this was 1:1 I'd already know what's coming and only be able to enjoy it being "live action". I'm glad hear I'm actually on the edge of what the hell are they going to do. I'm currently trying to figure out how the hell they're going to get off Reach, what the hell are they going to do with Cortona, etc.
I'm not a gamer but I'm so into Halo the series. Season 1 I totally enjoyed but not knowing much about the games it made it easier to enjoy. Season 2 started off assume with episode 4 had me on the edge of my seat. I've just started reading the books and hope it gives me more insight to Halo.❤
Killing keyes makes for one enormous plot hole in the coming seasons..... he is a vital part of the story. For context it would be like if you killed Aragorn in the second Lord of the rings movie or if you killed Jon Snow in season 2 or 3 of GoT. You've just cut an entire story arc that practically makes the whole story.....
Yes i remember all the hours i played halo with family and friends over the years and have fond memories fighting over who gets to play as the favorites Kwan Ha and Makee. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😜🤩🤩🤩
if you played the games just 1 you would know that its going to be a season 10 since we havent even seen THE FLOOD or the ENDLESS yet + we havent even seen ATRIOX yet + the performance of the actors is PHENOMONAL
No she's using the Arby as a personal bodyguard. Since the covies are denied the Mantle the prophets don't know if they can even use forerunner tech after/if makee delivered Cortana. Either way they both would of been killed so she played it smart for now n maybe that Arby will ally with the humans or die on the halo like the field master from halo. (First novel)
Can someone tell me what purpose Kwan Ha serves? I mean seriously. Every time I see her on the screen I'm like "Here we go again. Wasting another 10 minutes.
Stop being a toxic butthurt manbaby. They have yet to explain how Macee is still alive, why she & MC are Chosen Ones, why Cortana is based on the mind of a flash clone, why the interest in Soren's child ... what if Maccee is with child ... let alone what's the purpose of Kwan. Hmmmm? Doesn't MC & co. need a lift off Reach which is soon to be glassed? This is a live action TV show with Budget constraints .. and ... following the "Silver" tilmeline not the game/books. And only a fool would follow the same story word for word .. with the manbabies then bitching about the shitty set design, SFX of a live action TV serioes of ..... major Computer game franchies.
@@heywatchme101 that would be the worst script writing ever. They have paid this actress for a season and a half for something that could be done in 30 minutes.
Banger episode is right. I apologize to the Lore Boyz, I feel bad because you guys and gals deserve a better, more canon Halo. But never fear, you have this one to hate watch.
Season 1 was incredible! I thought it was awesome. There were some weird plot jumps that made me put some stuff together, but the story was excellent. I miss the old, cuter Cortana and I liked how she was bubbly. We didn’t really get to see much from the new one just yet, but her appearance is a bit of an upgrade on the professionalism.
⁷fuck the fanboys they'll go home and cry all night. But life goes on lmao 😂😂😂 no cares about their dumb ass biased opinions. The show fire kiss my ass
I like the show overall and will continue to watch it, but I do have issues with 2 massive oversights. 1) Chief's helmet would have been recording everything, so there would have been video evidence to back up his story. 2) Why did they leave Cortana behind?
Yeah I mean obviously it was recorded, which proves the covenant were there.......and? Good point about cortana.. it's clear Ackerman trusts her with the fate of humanity, but not enough to bring her along
No way they killed our spartan tank, just when he was finding his happy place nooo revive him now. By the way he would play excellent prophet if crysis became a series.
I was skeptical of them not having their armor for this episode, but after watching, it was awesome to see how Spartans are superior soldiers first and foremost. However, they made a mistake bringing back Makee and Kwan Ha. They serve no purpose. They already have 4 much more interesting strong female characters without the two of them getting in the way of this show feeling like Halo. Maybe by season 3 we will be rid of them?
@lmhayes60 i thought u were going to say fans of this garbage show the trailers had better footage scenes etc then this trash I mean just look at the elites. the jackals I kinda like how they did them
Just like in the books he (Ackerson) wanted the Spartan IIs dead by the covies. Takes the armor so he can try replicate its design but since it was expensive n alot more advanced then the spi armor that it would require alot time to engineer a whole battalion of mark 4s. Instead they rush to make alpha company aka different name
This is what Halo fans are looking for since the show was announced!!!!! The First season was just ok at best, but this season seems to be more what Halo fans are looking for... hopefully they can keep this momentum going!!!! Keep up the great work guys 👍
@keepingatit3566 I've played a few!!! Im sorry I'm not a Halo expert like apparently you are!!!! I guess I can't enjoy the series because I'm not a super Halo guy!!! U are my Halo hero!!!!
I still think having the Spartans not in their armour during the fall of reach and killing Keyes off before Halo 1 is kinda dumb. Season 2 so far isn't as bad as season 1. But it's still lacking in alot of elements that would make it even better
I am absolutely convinced that the majority of people on this channel have absolutely no idea about the true halo story. This show has failed to capture the timeline, the character and charisma of the true halo story. The show runners have really shamed and nerfed the original characters from the original story. I wish it gets cancelled and get rebooted with proper accuracy.
Oh no :( the halo show isn't like my cool kid games! Why won't writers and producers make something super cool like the halo games! Could it be that a good TV show, and a game, have entirely different story telling dynamics, and also maybe your taste isn't what the rest of the world likes? How do all you hardcore halo fanboys not realise that most of you aren't into the same things as the majority of the rest of us!? I mean for god sake y'all grew up being a hardcore halo fan, you already know what people think of you
I don’t really care for the whole “timeline” thing but the fights with Spartans in their respective suits make up for all the shots they’re missing. E3 when chief goes up against those Elites made me forget all of S1. Why not have more with them in the suits? That’s what makes Halo iconic. Just my opinion. Time will tell.
I’ve played every single Halo title extensively from the beginning, Halo CE, 2, 3, 4, 5, Infinite, Wars 1 & 2, ODST. I’ve also read most of the books, including The Fall of Reach by Eric Nylund (excellent read if you haven’t - I highly recommend it). I’ve always thought if done right, the Halo story would be an epic on the level, I dare say BETTER, of Star Wars. This show is NOT that story; it kinda reminds me of JJ Abrams ‘alternate’ Kelvin timeline treatment of Star Trek. They have taken the names, and a few bits of canon that suit them and made their own story. At the end of season 1, I thought they were finally on track, but then they went a different direction - they had the chance to come back to established lore but didn’t. Some of the things are just silly - why is it Silver Team? Master Chief was leader of BLUE Team. And why was it Cobalt team that went to Visegrad? Was supposed to be Noble Team. That being said, this ‘alternate’ timeline is in and of itself, decent. Once I understood this is a different story, I’m actually starting to enjoy it more, and episode 4 is pretty well done. This most certainly is NOT for the gamers and story enthusiasts that have grown up with the established story. This is its own arc seemingly made to appeal to a broader audience, and in that regard, it seems to be ok. I’ll keep watching to see where THIS story goes. I could rant for days on how they have the Master Chief wrong. He’s supposed to be more of a John Wick/Mandalorian type augmented super soldier than a Jack Sparrow/Tony Stark blabbermouth - a man a few words, keeps his armor on ALL the time; a total badass. (If Pedro Pascal can emote without ever taking his helmet off, why can’t Pablo Schreiber?) And he should be integrated with Cortana as his ‘sidekick’ in his armor. That dynamic alone is a massive part of the real story, and they are completely losing out on the opportunity to build that relationship as a central part of the storyline. So sad. As anyone who enjoyed the campaigns knows, Cortana is so important to John-117. Complete whiff in this TV show IMO.
@@antoine121 indeed. If it had that kind of budget, would also get a bigger name director, like a Ridley Scott or JJ Abrams and probably be full movies instead.
See most people don't understand that the show sits on the basis of the halo game and lore, without which, they would have never been a show to begin with. The show runners have miserably failed to portray the essence of Halo. Had this show been done with proper show runners, it would have been on star wars good, maybe even better. I wish this show gets rebooted with proper accuracy.
Halo dedicated fans have to realize this story timeline is changed to impress a larger audience because thats how you make money. Also implementing a book and video game into a tv show is highly complicated, its never been a 1 for 1 in any adaptation.
Its better to start on s2 e1, this storyline is built up from the start. You should watch the recaps of season 1 for the episodes you skipped, just to get an understanding of the dynamic between Makee and Master Chief
It's not worth anyones time honestly. They continue to mess up on the show. They want people to be ok with them knowingly screwing it up. Not worth watching this garbage.
@@TheRealKSmith Keys dies on Reach. No one really cares about Kwan Has story. Master Claps cheeks girlfriend is still alive. No one really cares about her.
No one in these comments watch halo because they’re fans of the game…. Lucky that you guys have never played nor experienced the greatness of what the games were. If you’re watching it for mindless television purposes than so be it. But this show is anything but good or great.
The episode was to showcase that Spartans are still Spartans without their armor but had the dude charge the elite with a needler instead of staying in cover. The show is so stupid it hurts
@@benladd4791 -I Never Played HALO. But It’s Like Our Military/US Being Attacked & The US Government Going To Hawaii Or Something & Taking All The Tanks & Attack Fighters 🤷🏾♂️ . Just Makes You Go 🤔. It’s Just Not Truly Logical, From A Writing Standpoint. Or Making A Jedi Game With No Lightsabers.
@@DJDeezyThaTruthno, it’s like if the military wanted squadron A to die and disapear, so in a battle they knew would be a loss they sent squadron A. Ackerman wants Spartans dead, as they’re highlighting in nearly every episode, so he left them to die without their armor. Also. The armor probably costs billions, hence why he’s taking it. Also, he used the armor for the latest episode
I swear you are fucking up names on purpose. Also, "survival isn't the name of the game anymore, its about insuring as many people as possible make it out alive." So it's about survival, not of everybody, but still survival. Does Makee still have feelings for MC? Yes, that was obvious from the way she looked at him, and then looked back.
I was loving season 2 until ep 4, killing keyes was a giant middle finger all game fans. I really thought they were trying to bring it back to the lore, then they killed keyes. + i dont think their showing how powerful the spartans are, they just seem like good fighters, not spartans, vaneks death was an embarrasment.
You personally wanted Noble Team. But most of us wanted the show to be about ODSTs or Marines. Personally we need more stories in the Halo universe that aren't about Spartans
I kind of get why Ackerson let Makee reacquired the artifact and steal Cortana but why sacrifice John the only person who can activate them that is on your side, Makee on the other hand came back changed we don't know what kind of technology the prophets used to revive her but she can't activate them as before she needs John to do it
Now I know why people wonder if some YT creators are paid off by Hollywood. Ep 4 was the amalgamation of everrything the fans hate. It would take me hours to walk through all the nonsense in this episode. People need to demand better.
They’re mad because this is far off from the source material. They only have a show because of the people who spent hundreds of dollars on the franchise over a span of many years. Have some respect
Killing keyes makes for one enormous plot hole in the coming seasons..... he is a vital part of the story. For context it would be like if you killed Aragorn in the second Lord of the rings movie or if you killed Jon Snow in season 2 or 3 of GoT. You've just cut an entire story arc that practically makes the whole story..... I'm genuinely concerned for the direction of the show moving forward.
Killing him is an enormous plot hole IF the story was following the arc you're talking about. It's painfully obvious this show is not following that thread whatsoever so you can't then apply an arc from a completely different story to another. While it shares the same title it's clearly not sharing the same 1:1 storyline.
What we now know is that without his armor, MC is only a slightly better than average soldier. Since his armor is somewhere else, I guess Pablo won’t have to worry about his face not being seen. What’s being missed is that the helmet IS MC’s face! I guess we can assume that MC will be sans armor for the entire season. Why take the armor which can only be worn by augmented Spartans??? This makes no sense. Why was Cortana left behind? What about the Cole protocol?? Earth??? I’ll have preferred that had followed the game (Reach) than this. This series is so much off base with known storyline that it’s more like a parallel universe pretending to be Halo. What’s with all the profanity? Since Halo came out, the game has really held the line so that kids could play it. I’m very disappointed with the whole thing. To be honest, the cutscenes of all the games make for a better viewing experience.
Well well y'all was hating last week now look at ya...it takes time and a budget but you can't get a Micheal Jordan or Peyton Manning if you abort them
Disagree entirely. Call me crazy, but Halo should actually involve SPARTANS. This show should be called "John 117", not Halo. Only the opening theme has any semblance of Halo. Yaaawn
Episode 5 did not help your title. Stripped him of his suit and ran off with them. Take his helmet off I can see. Take Cortana away from him is not a good direction. Now his suit is gone who know where. To top it off he's not even in the fight and we are presented with an episode that works on his emotional disposition and nothing to do with him being a strategic, calculating, and focused individual who seemed to have the luck of the Irish in fighting. Not to mention the amount of time episode 5 spent on other characters and their place in the hierarchy of the season. He might as well be a supporting actor in his part right now or just part of the collective in the scheme of things.
So many cry babies i thought marvel fans were complainers they got nothing on you guys 😂 if u cant separate your love of the games for a completely separate show then dont watch it
The Fall of Reach isn't Chief's story. He was barely on planet during it. I bet we won't even hear about NOBLE Team at all. Not even an easter egg or anything. ONI took the MJOLNER and LEFT CORTANA?!??! How fucking stupid. The Show runners need to be replaced for next season or reboot. It's such a disgrace.
Bro noble team was part of beta alpha died during operation torpedo then curt Ambrose takes over the section 3 program when paragonsky n admiral proposed to him then they these 12 13 year olds were taken from orphaned homes n the process they went through is pretty rank because they are added with a new cocktail which is surpassing a normal trauma n keep on fighting to the point where they're in shock but yeah it's a lil confusing but it's clear in a way the books also play some parts so
I hate to say it and super unpopular opinion but I hated this episode. This was supposed to be the episode we've waited a season and ah half for and we get chief without his armor?!?!? Come on man.
Halo just got totes disappointing. At EXACTLY this episode; where the general guy made a gung-ho military speech and the troops were semper-fi-ing so hard 🙄 Then. Fucking THEN this FUCKING BLIND GUY... Same episode, was tagging along in their crew, shooting at AND HITTING enemy aliens. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ All under this sort of pretense of "once a marine always a marine". Then that general suicide bombs his own life to secure transport ships leaving with civilians (elderly and kids). Of course cheesy AF dramatic music playing while another cliche played out right after another Spartan marine went back for Chief when he was down. And she got shot for it. Cause ya know "marines don't leave marines behind" 🙄🤦🏻♀️ but he was like 3 feet from her and they were like 3 feet from their ship so like 🤷 WtF 🤦🏻♀️ all in that ONE EPISODE 🤦🏻♀️ Then, I was stupid enough to watch the next episode after that. Where the transport ships go back to the alien occupied planet. Because you know to fight or whatever. With their ships of elderly and kids 🤷🙄🤦🏻♀️ so they can like what? Die for honor 🤦🏻♀️ Then Chief wakes up from coma 3 days later. And the doctor tells him it's been three days and he stumbles out of bed saying _________. Bet you 5$ you'd guess the line it's that fucking cliche. Such a fucking bummer. The writing took such a bad fucking turn OMG. I've always been on that military fence with Halo. Like it's super military, but it's forgivable and I can overlook it because: -no national flags -they're fighting aliens and their presence is needed (arguably) -no semper fi shit But that show just went down the shitter hard and fast. This episode was like watching an ARMY recruitment video 🤦🏻♀️
Wow. Claiming this is the series Halo fans are clamorjng for is quite a declarative statement on behalf of the entire fandom, many, many of us who are not fans of the garbage they pulled in this episode. What a super hot take.
@@FitnessOnQ I promise you, we're not. You can see other comments in this thread saying the same thing, or check Installation 00's review, or many others. You just live in a small bubble.
>we're finally getting what we want >theyre not wearing their suits though you haters are getting close to realising you dont care about the helmet thing and what you really want is a show thats 100% action sequences. which would be a terrible show. once you realise this and that they need to actually tell a story, you'll realise this show slapped from the beginning
Ackerson takes all high value assets off reach leaves cortana wide open to get took by covenant. Elites running wild, human strong hold planet 1 tank and a handful of marines 3 Spartans. 0 armour for a whole episode chiefs fight spoiled. Garbage. The halo games cut scenes is a better worthy watch than this insult to call it halo weather it's a different time line or not. End of season 1 3 prophets in front of chief he avoids them what on earth? How many times is he nearly gonna die to be saved by makee there Is 0 creativity
They took their suits and they take the limelight from chief 3/4's of the time. It's a garbage show. Not to mention how many 'girl boss' moments there are in episode 5. Bungie needs to buy the rights back when paramount drowns. This episode is trash. Chief shouldn't be without his helmet much less his suit. Soren has his forced off him. Chief should have had it on at all times like Soren. This is the dumpster fire that none of the halo 1-3 players wanted.
Still a shitty ass adaptation of halo the whole story of master chief looking like he is confused because he can't tell if he is in blade runner or halo is very dumb same with makee and the rubble story all terrible writing that nobody who knows the story of halo wanted
Love it or hate it.. this show has some of if not the best fight scenes in recent movies or shows. Just beautiful
That's only the reason why i the show.
You must not watch much.
Best episode in all of TV not just halo
When my dude got hit with that needler I screamed so hard THATS WHY THEY NEED THE SUITS 🤣🤣🤣 loved this episode just for all the firefight
Yeah, the needler is such a scary weapon since it decimates your insides.
Did u think it was weird that they wore zero gear? Like the Spartan suit is gone, but they could have put on a marine helmet, right? Even if you're a badass soldier a headshot with zero protection is fatal ...but they didn't wanna grab helmets or any type of armor from the Marines?
As a show, I’m loving it. Sure the lore is all over the place but you’re taking a video game and making it into series television
Bravo, I say 🎉
I really enjoyed it. Too bad Vannak and Captain Sapani didn't make it. I really enloyed those characters. BTW, Captain's rallying cry was outstanding!
The best thing I like about this show is the main thing purist are complaining about....not being a 1:1 with the game/books.

Ackerson is such a prankster! Hiding John Halo’s armor as Reach is being invaded, absolutely classic!
He’s such a nonsensical character.
Yeah what's up with that guy, very narcissistic. He has main character syndrome.
It's More Better than , Season one though.!
I'm not a gamer but I'm so into Halo the series. Season 1 I totally enjoyed but not knowing much about the games it made it easier to enjoy. Season 2 started off assume with episode 4 had me on the edge of my seat. I've just started reading the books and hope it gives me more insight to Halo.❤

This ep was crazy! Finally doing the halo franchise some good!
Best live action Halo to date. Love the show, can’t wait to see the flood
This episode was gut punch. I do respect and admire survivors. Especially the ones that give everything for others.
if you played the games just 1 you would know that its going to be a season 10 since we havent even seen THE FLOOD or the ENDLESS yet + we havent even seen ATRIOX yet + the performance of the actors is PHENOMONAL
Makee called off Arbiter because she still needs john for some purpose and to allow the elite to have a better more honorable duel with chief later on
No she's using the Arby as a personal bodyguard. Since the covies are denied the Mantle the prophets don't know if they can even use forerunner tech after/if makee delivered Cortana. Either way they both would of been killed so she played it smart for now n maybe that Arby will ally with the humans or die on the halo like the field master from halo. (First novel)

Colonel Ackerson hates Halsey and her Spartans(in OG timeline) him deleting evidence isn’t above him in this one either.
Yeah I mean obviously it was recorded, which proves the covenant were there.......and?
Good point about cortana.. it's clear Ackerman trusts her with the fate of humanity, but not enough to bring her along
Idc about the helmet or his face. Dudes killing it. I’m just glad it feels like halo now
I wish there would be more seasons it’s a good show 🔥🔥🔥
No way they killed our spartan tank, just when he was finding his happy place nooo revive him now. By the way he would play excellent prophet if crysis became a series.
I like the Series very much. For all of you who don't like it, what was on last night that was better? Nothing!
To answer your question, The Bad Batch.
I'm sure there's other good stuff out there but I also am enjoying this series! I hope they continue
The admiral is alive!!! 😮😮😮 HE is not dead and will meet his daughter.
I think we will see keys again. Somehow
I was skeptical of them not having their armor for this episode, but after watching, it was awesome to see how Spartans are superior soldiers first and foremost.

I like the first season and I like the second so far
Yes. More of this please.
I think I found easter egg at around 13:13 in the episode there's an Xbox on the self the very first version of the xbox
Just like in the books he (Ackerson) wanted the Spartan IIs dead by the covies. Takes the armor so he can try replicate its design but since it was expensive n alot more advanced then the spi armor that it would require alot time to engineer a whole battalion of mark 4s.

Them not having their power armour drove me insane. I want to see them fuck shit up, not just be really strong infantry.

What are those images.....😮

At the end of season 1, I thought they were finally on track, but then they went a different direction - they had the chance to come back to established lore but didn’t. Some of the things are just silly - why is it Silver Team? Master Chief was leader of BLUE Team. And why was it Cobalt team that went to Visegrad? Was supposed to be Noble Team.
That being said, this ‘alternate’ timeline is in and of itself, decent. Once I understood this is a different story, I’m actually starting to enjoy it more, and episode 4 is pretty well done. This most certainly is NOT for the gamers and story enthusiasts that have grown up with the established story. This is its own arc seemingly made to appeal to a broader audience, and in that regard, it seems to be ok. I’ll keep watching to see where THIS story goes.
I could rant for days on how they have the Master Chief wrong. He’s supposed to be more of a John Wick/Mandalorian type augmented super soldier than a Jack Sparrow/Tony Stark blabbermouth - a man a few words, keeps his armor on ALL the time; a total badass. (If Pedro Pascal can emote without ever taking his helmet off, why can’t Pablo Schreiber?) And he should be integrated with Cortana as his ‘sidekick’ in his armor. That dynamic alone is a massive part of the real story, and they are completely losing out on the opportunity to build that relationship as a central part of the storyline. So sad. As anyone who enjoyed the campaigns knows, Cortana is so important to John-117. Complete whiff in this TV show IMO.
Tbh bro the type of story you want needs a Big budget like marvel or GOT level budget halo isnt there yet bro bro.
If you read Fall of Reach you would know that Reach and the gane Halo fall of reach conflict heavily and this is a different time line soo………
@@antoine121 absolutely. The show doesn't follow either the book or the game is my point. Show is decent, just a different lore.
@@antoine121 indeed. If it had that kind of budget, would also get a bigger name director, like a Ridley Scott or JJ Abrams and probably be full movies instead.
See most people don't understand that the show sits on the basis of the halo game and lore, without which, they would have never been a show to begin with. The show runners have miserably failed to portray the essence of Halo. Had this show been done with proper show runners, it would have been on star wars good, maybe even better. I wish this show gets rebooted with proper accuracy.
Put your damn helmet on and keep it on. Did keys get a beach vacation? He's looking tan. I'm just waiting for the Malcolm x movie staring Tom Hanks.
I just hope Soren and Chief can both go to Alpha halo
This story should be in Mass effect universe. Halo is not emotional drama.
Yeah great episode...Spartans in combat with no armour, escaping reach everyone forgets cortana and then keys ends up dying, i mean wtf bro !
Worst episode ever. POS Halo.
Halo dedicated fans have to realize this story timeline is changed to impress a larger audience because thats how you make money. Also implementing a book and video game into a tv show is highly complicated, its never been a 1 for 1 in any adaptation.
100%, hardcore gamer fans are a small portion of the population... one that not many want to impress
They try to reach a wider audience by making dogwater? Genius business move
I rage quit halfway through season 1. Do I have to catch up or just start at season 2 episode 3?
Its better to start on s2 e1, this storyline is built up from the start. You should watch the recaps of season 1 for the episodes you skipped, just to get an understanding of the dynamic between Makee and Master Chief
It's not worth anyones time honestly. They continue to mess up on the show. They want people to be ok with them knowingly screwing it up. Not worth watching this garbage.
@@lofivibes3640 They're crafting their own narrative based on the IP, and s2 is a massive up swing so far
@@TheRealKSmith Keys dies on Reach. No one really cares about Kwan Has story. Master Claps cheeks girlfriend is still alive. No one really cares about her.
save yourself and dont
No one in these comments watch halo because they’re fans of the game…. Lucky that you guys have never played nor experienced the greatness of what the games were. If you’re watching it for mindless television purposes than so be it. But this show is anything but good or great.
Bro Netflix should’ve gotten Halo franchise at least.
Whats the cgi directors background? He needs to write a statement on the quality hes pushing cuz its not it
I'm not giving anyone ideas but what if Noble 6 comes back to help silver team and halsey😅
Cauvenant
The episode was to showcase that Spartans are still Spartans without their armor but had the dude charge the elite with a needler instead of staying in cover. The show is so stupid it hurts
-I Just Skipped All Threw Ep 4 Once They Said “The Suites Gone” I’m Like What Huh… That Makes No Sense.
Ackerman feels threatened by Spartans, Ackerman takes suits and leaves Spartans to die
Why are hardcore halo gamers so simple
@@benladd4791 -I Never Played HALO. But It’s Like Our Military/US Being Attacked & The US Government Going To Hawaii Or Something & Taking All The Tanks & Attack Fighters 🤷🏾♂️ . Just Makes You Go 🤔. It’s Just Not Truly Logical, From A Writing Standpoint. Or Making A Jedi Game With No Lightsabers.
@@DJDeezyThaTruthno, it’s like if the military wanted squadron A to die and disapear, so in a battle they knew would be a loss they sent squadron A.
Ackerman wants Spartans dead, as they’re highlighting in nearly every episode, so he left them to die without their armor. Also. The armor probably costs billions, hence why he’s taking it. Also, he used the armor for the latest episode
Amen for us all in all things in our living GOD world Amen 🙏🙏🙏
Season 2 is truly better, thia episode was FIRE, but I'm SO PISSED they killed you know who... now what will happen when they get to Combat Evolved? 🙃
Mah kee.. not May kee
Vunahk, stimulations? Why am i watching this?
Why does Chief look so small?? Isn't he like 7 feet
because actor is only 6.6ft
Season 1 was average introduction hopefully season 2 will get better and better
I swear you are fucking up names on purpose. Also, "survival isn't the name of the game anymore, its about insuring as many people as possible make it out alive." So it's about survival, not of everybody, but still survival. Does Makee still have feelings for MC? Yes, that was obvious from the way she looked at him, and then looked back.
YOu all going to be very angry the next epsiode!
I was loving season 2 until ep 4, killing keyes was a giant middle finger all game fans. I really thought they were trying to bring it back to the lore, then they killed keyes.
+ i dont think their showing how powerful the spartans are, they just seem like good fighters, not spartans, vaneks death was an embarrasment.
It's not confirmed and read the books
@@aydolnunguna7612 whats not confirmed?
TV show is so bad after listening to the audiobooks of halo.
no halo fans did not want this at all, we wanted noble team, not this complete and utter shite.........
You personally wanted Noble Team. But most of us wanted the show to be about ODSTs or Marines. Personally we need more stories in the Halo universe that aren't about Spartans
What is the point watching halo without master chiefs armour ? Its the only reason i watch 😂
@@Lukestefani Because not everything in Halo is about the Master Chief. There are other characters that deserve their own time in the spotlight.
@troopergio and we also don't need Noble Team rn. We know what they are dealing with rn. I like seeing what John is doing
No we did not! Nothing against noble team but I'm here for Silver team!
I kind of get why Ackerson let Makee reacquired the artifact and steal Cortana but why sacrifice John the only person who can activate them that is on your side, Makee on the other hand came back changed we don't know what kind of technology the prophets used to revive her but she can't activate them as before she needs John to do it
Ackerson doesn’t really care for Spartan 2’s. He even tried to kill John in the books.
-I Think It Was A Korny Story With Good Fight Spots.
Oi. Was great but how the heck is makee alive
All I think.. is why 1 17 and not 1 1 7.
Y kill keys
Now I know why people wonder if some YT creators are paid off by Hollywood. Ep 4 was the amalgamation of everrything the fans hate. It would take me hours to walk through all the nonsense in this episode. People need to demand better.
I loved season 1. And for the fans pissed because he doesn’t have his suit… he’s gonna get another 😑 chill out
They’re mad because this is far off from the source material. They only have a show because of the people who spent hundreds of dollars on the franchise over a span of many years. Have some respect
Season 1 was good. Season 2 is OMG better.
Killing keyes makes for one enormous plot hole in the coming seasons..... he is a vital part of the story. For context it would be like if you killed Aragorn in the second Lord of the rings movie or if you killed Jon Snow in season 2 or 3 of GoT. You've just cut an entire story arc that practically makes the whole story..... I'm genuinely concerned for the direction of the show moving forward.
Killing him is an enormous plot hole IF the story was following the arc you're talking about. It's painfully obvious this show is not following that thread whatsoever so you can't then apply an arc from a completely different story to another. While it shares the same title it's clearly not sharing the same 1:1 storyline.
What we now know is that without his armor, MC is only a slightly better than average soldier. Since his armor is somewhere else, I guess Pablo won’t have to worry about his face not being seen. What’s being missed is that the helmet IS MC’s face! I guess we can assume that MC will be sans armor for the entire season. Why take the armor which can only be worn by augmented Spartans??? This makes no sense. Why was Cortana left behind? What about the Cole protocol?? Earth??? I’ll have preferred that had followed the game (Reach) than this. This series is so much off base with known storyline that it’s more like a parallel universe pretending to be Halo.
What’s with all the profanity? Since Halo came out, the game has really held the line so that kids could play it.
I’m very disappointed with the whole thing.
To be honest, the cutscenes of all the games make for a better viewing experience.
Well well y'all was hating last week now look at ya...it takes time and a budget but you can't get a Micheal Jordan or Peyton Manning if you abort them
what do you call that disability where people hear one word and pronounce it differently than heard? haha xD Van - Nick Maa Key lmao
They really need to stop calling this Halo when it is not.
Explain
Killed off 3 black characters during Black History Month sheesh
Exactly what I said!
Psychological conditioning 👎🏿
Disagree entirely. Call me crazy, but Halo should actually involve SPARTANS. This show should be called "John 117", not Halo. Only the opening theme has any semblance of Halo. Yaaawn
So this episode they kill off almost all the black actors. The admiral, the spartan and the blind former spartan.
Episode 5 did not help your title. Stripped him of his suit and ran off with them. Take his helmet off I can see. Take Cortana away from him is not a good direction. Now his suit is gone who know where. To top it off he's not even in the fight and we are presented with an episode that works on his emotional disposition and nothing to do with him being a strategic, calculating, and focused individual who seemed to have the luck of the Irish in fighting. Not to mention the amount of time episode 5 spent on other characters and their place in the hierarchy of the season. He might as well be a supporting actor in his part right now or just part of the collective in the scheme of things.
So many cry babies i thought marvel fans were complainers they got nothing on you guys 😂 if u cant separate your love of the games for a completely separate show then dont watch it
Jesus i guess all it takes is dumb action to please people
The Fall of Reach isn't Chief's story. He was barely on planet during it. I bet we won't even hear about NOBLE Team at all. Not even an easter egg or anything. ONI took the MJOLNER and LEFT CORTANA?!??! How fucking stupid. The Show runners need to be replaced for next season or reboot. It's such a disgrace.
Bro noble team was part of beta alpha died during operation torpedo then curt Ambrose takes over the section 3 program when paragonsky n admiral proposed to him then they these 12 13 year olds were taken from orphaned homes n the process they went through is pretty rank because they are added with a new cocktail which is surpassing a normal trauma n keep on fighting to the point where they're in shock but yeah it's a lil confusing but it's clear in a way the books also play some parts so
Garbage series, rather watch cut scenes from the game
I hate to say it and super unpopular opinion but I hated this episode. This was supposed to be the episode we've waited a season and ah half for and we get chief without his armor?!?!? Come on man.
Halo just got totes disappointing. At EXACTLY this episode; where the general guy made a gung-ho military speech and the troops were semper-fi-ing so hard 🙄 Then. Fucking THEN this FUCKING BLIND GUY... Same episode, was tagging along in their crew, shooting at AND HITTING enemy aliens. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ All under this sort of pretense of "once a marine always a marine". Then that general suicide bombs his own life to secure transport ships leaving with civilians (elderly and kids). Of course cheesy AF dramatic music playing while another cliche played out right after another Spartan marine went back for Chief when he was down. And she got shot for it. Cause ya know "marines don't leave marines behind" 🙄🤦🏻♀️ but he was like 3 feet from her and they were like 3 feet from their ship so like 🤷 WtF 🤦🏻♀️ all in that ONE EPISODE 🤦🏻♀️
Then, I was stupid enough to watch the next episode after that.
Where the transport ships go back to the alien occupied planet. Because you know to fight or whatever. With their ships of elderly and kids 🤷🙄🤦🏻♀️ so they can like what? Die for honor 🤦🏻♀️
Then Chief wakes up from coma 3 days later. And the doctor tells him it's been three days and he stumbles out of bed saying _________. Bet you 5$ you'd guess the line it's that fucking cliche. Such a fucking bummer. The writing took such a bad fucking turn OMG.
I've always been on that military fence with Halo. Like it's super military, but it's forgivable and I can overlook it because:
-no national flags
-they're fighting aliens and their presence is needed (arguably)
-no semper fi shit
But that show just went down the shitter hard and fast. This episode was like watching an ARMY recruitment video 🤦🏻♀️
Wow. Claiming this is the series Halo fans are clamorjng for is quite a declarative statement on behalf of the entire fandom, many, many of us who are not fans of the garbage they pulled in this episode. What a super hot take.
You're actually the minority based on what I've been hearing.
@@FitnessOnQ I promise you, we're not. You can see other comments in this thread saying the same thing, or check Installation 00's review, or many others. You just live in a small bubble.
No you are lol.
@@antoine121 well, I'm rubber and you're glue, so... 😂
@@RyneLanders the fandom is 50/50 on this, halr i see rlly like it, the other half despise it w their lives, as has always been with halo fans ig lol
LOL at master cheeks killing covenant without armor and with care hands. Shitty tv series
Please start pronouncing names correctley is really distracting and annoying
Not happy thus far. Pretty poor.
>we're finally getting what we want
>theyre not wearing their suits though
you haters are getting close to realising you dont care about the helmet thing and what you really want is a show thats 100% action sequences. which would be a terrible show. once you realise this and that they need to actually tell a story, you'll realise this show slapped from the beginning
Yeah no not really. They should've just made a different character. the action is good but storywise not so much.
Ackerson takes all high value assets off reach leaves cortana wide open to get took by covenant. Elites running wild, human strong hold planet 1 tank and a handful of marines 3 Spartans. 0 armour for a whole episode chiefs fight spoiled. Garbage. The halo games cut scenes is a better worthy watch than this insult to call it halo weather it's a different time line or not. End of season 1 3 prophets in front of chief he avoids them what on earth? How many times is he nearly gonna die to be saved by makee there Is 0 creativity
They took their suits and they take the limelight from chief 3/4's of the time. It's a garbage show. Not to mention how many 'girl boss' moments there are in episode 5. Bungie needs to buy the rights back when paramount drowns. This episode is trash. Chief shouldn't be without his helmet much less his suit. Soren has his forced off him. Chief should have had it on at all times like Soren. This is the dumpster fire that none of the halo 1-3 players wanted.
Still a shitty ass adaptation of halo the whole story of master chief looking like he is confused because he can't tell if he is in blade runner or halo is very dumb same with makee and the rubble story all terrible writing that nobody who knows the story of halo wanted
