Not to make a ruse about “Master Chief should always keep his helmet on” because I don’t mind it off when he ain’t in combat, but what I kind of can’t figure out is was it really necessary that we saw any Spartans faces Master Chief and I forgot his lady comrade who kept taking shots/hits) out in combat rather than the visors? Yeah, the visor HUD stuff is cool when necessary (That’s another thing that feels a bit lazy, like where is the visor DETAIL(s) like shape, atmosphere/environmental and combat conditions?? It’s like they simply decided to slap the HUD stuff onto a plain boring camera lens, even over their faces on the helmets!) from their perspective, but looking back at them? Ehh…..
even the story wouldnt even be so bad for a good chunk if it wasnt chief, like if this was a random spartan team and it wasnt about chief, it could be an interesting story
Inaccurate. They didn't even show the badass scene of the Spartans sprinting matching the speed of the Warthog and then hopping in? Who could possibly think to edit together a video like this and miss that incredible scene?
It's incredible how they could do a whole season with just 25 minutes and 29 seconds, you have to be a genius to produce something like that, congrats to the team who put the work on those 25 minutes and 29 seconds.

I doubt Kwan is going to appear in the next season, I mean, its pretty sure the second season is going to take place on something similar to reach, the hells going to be her doing on reach?
More Marine action would be ideal. All aspects of the UNSC are critical to winning, not just Spartans. ODSTS, pilots, soldiers, whatever. Just show that humanity isn't completely useless without their super soldiers.
in the lore, humanity pretty much is completely useless without the Spartans. yeah notable ODSTs greatly help and even some marines, but at the end of the day, the Spartans are the only ones that infantry wise do anything. either way, the show is about Chief and Silver Team, so it wouldn’t make much sense to include a lot of action from marines and ODSTs that don’t involve them.
@@HaloVideogameEdits thats not true though. lore wise, the only place the covenant truly dominated was space combat. infantry wise, the unsc is able to match and even outclass the covenant in many factors. saying the spartans are the only ones able to do anything is disengenuous and not true. spartans are made for specialized tasks, and they are powerful to reflect that. but humanity's true strength lies in the marine core, the spartans are just meant to build off that.
@@Dinosaur_-qq7di the UNSCs true strength does not reside in the Marine Corps. the only people who’ve done anything in the UNSC to actually resist the Covenant on a notable level are spartans and some high ranking naval personnel like Keyes. if either of these weren’t involved in a battle, 95% of the time the UNSC lost that battle. so i guess you could say that the Marine Corps slowed the Covenant down, but only as in they forced them to use resources and drowned them in human blood. in fact the only reason humanity wasn’t completely wiped out was because of the Great Schism. Marine Corps are one of the lowest factors that allowed for humanity’s outcome, so there’s no reason to say they carried the UNSC. but sure i guess you could say that they are nonetheless a somewhat factor. and the Spartans were meant to be built off the marine corps when all threats were just insurrectionists, after the Covenant was discovered, they became humanity’s only hope. because if marines were carrying the UNSC, they would be doing things like blowing up flood hives, blowing up halo rings, blowing up entire covenant planets, killing the covenants leaders, and destroying entire covenant fleets. but they don’t, those are all things only spartans have been known to do. but everything aside, i do agree with your base point that we should see more marines and ODSTs in the show, but the story shouldn’t be based around them. it also shouldn’t be portrayed that they do well against covenant on their own.
Honestly, if Master Chief wasn't the main character, the face reveals and the taking off the helmet scenes would've been fine and it would've been a much better show.
@@ChefandTheArbistorI think he just meant the way the scene was handled. They did a good job at making the worms look scary, and he’s hoping they give the flood a similar treatment.

As a relatively new Halo fan, this is what I want to see. Teams of Spartans fighting waves of the Covenant with the UNSC. Do this x100 and your show will have better press.
At this point Cortana should always be in control of Chief😩 Keep the helmet on, and if you want to show the face so bad, show it inside the helmet like in multiple scenes here. I think that would be the 50/50. So that everyone can be happy
thats very bad writing. very bad plot device. There is a rule in good writing that the hero actually be a key element in driving the plot. Putting chief in autodrive while Cortana fights is a cardinal sin.
You are both right, the reason I said this is because this series turn Chief into a sentimental like a lot. That part was one of the only parts that finally showed like the badass, and if you think about it, we control the Chief in all the games so that he can be the badass and never dies.
Yeah in this case it is way more operationally efficient to remove the chief entirely for 24/7 Cortana. It works nothing like this in the real lore. Breaks ma heart
Die hard halo fan here. Halo was my childhood delight so much I wanted to design aircraft like you see in the game. Currently studying at Purdue thanks to Christ. This halo tv show may not be what I wanted but I think we can enjoy it for what it is

Imo the action scenes definitely could be better. For episode 1 where’s the Grunts and Jackals? For the later episodes where’s the Hunters? No Covenant vehicles!? No Ghosts? No Spectres? No Brute Choppers or Prowlers? No Wraiths!? Why do Elites almost exclusively use swords and no other weapons like Carbines or Fuel Rods? No Jackal Snipers on roof tops snipin Marines? Cmon Paramount!
When Vanak and Riz were fighting chief, at a certain point it stopped being about target acquisition, and about straight up killing him. They had him at their mercy at a few points during the fight. But they just kept beating on him.
@@Luiscastillo-ky1hpCheck out Sodaz, they have a 25 minute video that has a better story than the entire run of this series. Another would be Notpipi, who has several animations but is in the middle of the marine side of the battle of New Mombasa.

Edit: Another one that is a personal favorite is an official storyboard animation made by Microsoft about the short story "The Mona Lisa".

I agree. Considering Microsoft and halo could easily afford better cgi its kinda disappointing we get power rangers style graphics for this. I think they tried to make chief fall fast when jumping to show how heavy he is. But it just looks goofy with the bad cgi.
Although I haven't played the HALO game before, I have enjoyed the development of the characters in season 1 and it helped me to understand and enjoy the speed of season 2 more. I cannot wait for season 3. Frankly the only reason I ordered the Paramount + app was to watch this show without commercials. Please keep the HALO story going as long as possible. Long Live the Master Chief!!!
Paramount, excellent work! Just finished season 2 and I'm impressed. I was worried at points during the 2 seasons but you did not disappoint. How you did the Flood was totally awesome. If you make Halo like Halo, you cannot fail. I like the seriousness change to Guilty Spark. And in Halo 2, we learned that there are many Arbiters. Perhaps this is only the prequel to the Arbiter in the games. Hoping you continue on with this series! YOU MUST!!
@@puppygirlivy You mean like The Last Jedi level of opponents waiting for the Chief to be ready before taking a swing? And Chief taking direct hits from a gravity hammer and shrugging it off?
the brutes did hit chief first and caught him off guard only the main brute did that, and the gravity hammers either were either blade down or just didnt enable the gravity part (like when Chief slams the hammer on the ground) @@xitaris5981
so instead of 1/18th of the series it can be 1/9th? Let's try 3-4 times as long. The games were able to have a more compelling plot that progress _while_ battles were occurring. I get that it can't and shouldn't be 100% combat, but it shouldn't be a tiny fraction either.
What was "really good" about it? Breaking lore more times that you can count? Destroying beloved characters? Screwing up timelines? Nonsensical connections between humans, covenant, and forerunner technology? Really cheesy dialogue and sub-par acting from half the cast? Weird design choices and lack of attention to detail? Even if you know nothing about the games, the series is like a 6/10 at a maximum just based on plot and acting. I think a 6/10 would be generous even for a non Halo fan.
they actually did a very good job with the fight scenes. it’s close to perfection, the only problem i really have is Soren. Soren is still a Spartan II, so he should’ve been tanking punches and kicks from regular people like they were absolutely nothing. but other than that, the fight scenes were really good
@@Joaning1775 yeah that’s just one example of how overpowered spartans are out of armor, even as children. and yes, that was when he was 14. also he only killed one of them, but he broke multiple bones in the other ones
how can u say that? the chief shouldve been one shot against suited spartans. maybe there holding back but still. this looks cheap, no lore, no heart behind it
@@agentnukaz1715 that’s true. but there’s not no heart behind it, Paramount seems like they’re actually putting a lot of effort into this show, whether the result is good or not
The fight scenes are above and beyond better than the plot, but they're nowhere near perfection. Just count how many times the Spartans _choose_ to give up a range advantage and engage in hand to hand combat. Or how many times they do silly power ranger type moves.
Look at this and see how much better the show is when he doesn’t take off his helmet Edit: watch how the quality drops astronomically when his face is on-screen
Welp...I'll never get those 25 minutes back but I guess thanks, you saved me alot of time. I don't really care about seeing Chiefs face but the way they are portraying John is a travesty.
I love how the vehicle's chain gun is useless when a human uses it, but it can mow Elites down when a Spartan fires it. It is still a badass scene though!
Notice how it's a show (as in, not a game) that revolves around story & characters? Thank God we're not subjected to Master Chief running around maze-like ships, Halo rings and caverns for hours on end? That would be so insanely boring. The games are what they are and work well for what they are. They can't be translated shot for shot to a live action drama. Won't work. Sit with that.
I like this but don’t think that saves you paramount. I will not be trivialized by my guilty pleasure of chief being a total badass. The show writers will never understand the complexity of what I wanted this show to be and in my mind if they don’t get season 2 right, that is the point of no return and I know I am not alone.
My girlfriend loves it, she would not have loved the neckbeard idea of purist halo. There is human drama, faces, relations the familiar dynamics of shows kinda. Even if I have played all the main games since childhood.
@@magnem1043 There is literally everything you just described in the various Halo books, many of which are phenomenal stories by the way. It would have been so easy for them to adapt some of the novels to make a genuinely great show, but instead they just completely changed just about every important story point and made something that can pretty much only be called Halo because of how things look.
You’re way too picky. The series has its fault, sure, but you have to commend them for putting in a huge amount of effort into the cgi of the covenant, the visual effects, the choreography of fight scenes, and really setting the mood by making it feel like the situation is completely hopeless for humanity in the face of the overwhelming power of the covenant. Just ignore the chief issues and questionable plot decisions and appreciate it for what it is. Also, I want a season 2 so just stop complaining.
@@CloneCommanderCrater1102 >clonecommando Name checks out. What is with you neckbeard chuds wanting everything about a series to perfectly conform to the source material? You are getting incredible combat scenes and excellent visual effects the likes of which we have never seen in a TV show based off a video game before. Just learn to appreciate what they’re giving us instead of constantly complaining like a beta.
@OpenBorders4isengard I will agree that the cgi, visual effects, and choreography are all pretty good, at least most of the time, but good visuals will absolutely not get me to just ignore the absolute mess of a story they made. I actually like certain parts of the show, and I especially enjoy all of the little deep lore things that they throw in here and there, but I just really can't get behind all of the really important parts of Halo's story that they just completely changed for the worse just to be different.
some of this looks pretty good and some just looks straight up goofy, want some good halo irl action and story, check forward unto dawn, trailers for odst and reach. Fan made films, etc.
The shield beeping and recharging sounds are excellent, why did they not do this in season 2? Not even through the helmet visor views happened in season 2...
14:11 one of my fav scenes, and ill admit the actor never rly grew on me until i saw him in Halo, hes usually always an antagonist in other films- untill he played Soren
These were beautiful action scenes! For a TV production, there is a lot of great CGI when needed for the big battles. Love the choice for lots of long shots with minimum camera cuts, it really allows the badass fight choreography to be shown off. As for the writing of this show…why they got my dog Master Chief raw dogging .
Why is the Covenant ground assault force comprised of jackals and grunts? Jackals that very peculiarly have swords. To go up against a UNSC base with 3 Spartans... CMON GUYS
Well the Spartans were a surprise. They attacked thinking it was just a base of regular humans. Even the civilians were surprised to see the Spartans show up. I agree though, the show has many flaws lol. Just saying this was kinda explained.
The only thing that makes this so terrible is the need to constantly show emotions and remind us what chiefs face looks like. I’m watching Halo not Iron Man. Spartans typically have such a disturbing calm about them while in heavy combat that I question if these are Spartans or just heavy armored ODSTs.
The action keeps me attached to watching cause I never thought I’d see live action Halo battles other than forward onto dawn story could be closer to the source material so still on the edge but I’ll give S2 a try
21:39 Jimmy Rings: Gets headbutted and yeeted like 10 feet and is incapacitated. Master Chief in Infinite: Gets bashed in the face with a modified gravity hammer and gets back up nearly immediately.
Just for this I subscribed to Ur interesting channel. Thank U for offering us such a natural wonder. Btw, I liked the colors of Ur photos processed with that camera. 😉🙏🏻👍🏻⚫🌌
I guess theres a reason John would rather use a plasma pistol than any of the dozen energy swords he walks by...why he wouldn't dual wield swords is incomprehensible
So there's a 3 of 4 fight scenes where Master Chief never takes off his helmet helmet, I don't know why people cry if this is literally a good representation of the Lore character
These action scenes are cool but anyone whose played the games and especially read the books its extremely underwhelming. They dont fight like Spartans and regardless of the story Spartan 2s wouldnt fight one another. This is clearly made by people who dont respect the source material and dont care about how fans will react to it. Im surprised they bothered to green light a 2nd season.
the fact that every episode isnt like a mission from the game, just angers me. Bungie laid out the perfect stories and all oyu have to do is turn it into live action
>faceless protagonist improves character's appeal >Mandalorian: "Let's not do creative camera angles - let's show his face!" >Halo series: "Let's not maintain the mystique - let's show his face!"
I'm hoping to see more combat in season two, but that it has a more warlike feel, something like ground battles where we can see the marines fighting the Covenant. Maybe I'm dreaming too much
Clearly this show doesn’t have a problem when it comes to action scenes. The story on the other hand…

Like the game. I have long suspected that the gameplay is the quality of the game and not the story.

How does he hear cortona without the helmet?
neural implant
Soren really did have some good fight scenes. Favorite battle scene overall though had to be on Eridanus.
I feel like the games look a million times better
if theres anything about this series that is badass its 21:05 this is one of the best scenes ive seen 😭
ignoring the inconsistencies ofc
@@puppygirlivy You mean like The Last Jedi level of opponents waiting for the Chief to be ready before taking a swing? And Chief taking direct hits from a gravity hammer and shrugging it off?
the brutes did hit chief first and caught him off guard only the main brute did that, and the gravity hammers either were either blade down or just didnt enable the gravity part (like when Chief slams the hammer on the ground) @@xitaris5981
This needs to be twice as long in season 2
so instead of 1/18th of the series it can be 1/9th? Let's try 3-4 times as long. The games were able to have a more compelling plot that progress _while_ battles were occurring. I get that it can't and shouldn't be 100% combat, but it shouldn't be a tiny fraction either.
Am I the only one who genuinely loves this series?? I think it’s really good. Especially season two. The battle at reach was amazing.
What was "really good" about it?
Breaking lore more times that you can count? Destroying beloved characters? Screwing up timelines? Nonsensical connections between humans, covenant, and forerunner technology? Really cheesy dialogue and sub-par acting from half the cast? Weird design choices and lack of attention to detail?
Even if you know nothing about the games, the series is like a 6/10 at a maximum just based on plot and acting. I think a 6/10 would be generous even for a non Halo fan.
Seeing a jackal run around with an energy sword was one of the funniest things I've seen today
they actually did a very good job with the fight scenes. it’s close to perfection, the only problem i really have is Soren. Soren is still a Spartan II, so he should’ve been tanking punches and kicks from regular people like they were absolutely nothing. but other than that, the fight scenes were really good
That, and Chief took on 3 ODSTs alone when he was 14ish(or at least, just after his augmentations) and killed them barehanded without meaning to
@@Joaning1775 yeah that’s just one example of how overpowered spartans are out of armor, even as children. and yes, that was when he was 14. also he only killed one of them, but he broke multiple bones in the other ones
how can u say that? the chief shouldve been one shot against suited spartans. maybe there holding back but still. this looks cheap, no lore, no heart behind it
@@agentnukaz1715 that’s true. but there’s not no heart behind it, Paramount seems like they’re actually putting a lot of effort into this show, whether the result is good or not
The fight scenes are above and beyond better than the plot, but they're nowhere near perfection. Just count how many times the Spartans _choose_ to give up a range advantage and engage in hand to hand combat. Or how many times they do silly power ranger type moves.
Cortana taking over chief was the CORNIEST thing I've ever seen! How did this get ruined so much!? CMON GUYS
Look at this and see how much better the show is when he doesn’t take off his helmet
Edit: watch how the quality drops astronomically when his face is on-screen
8:28 tho 😘
Welp...I'll never get those 25 minutes back but I guess thanks, you saved me alot of time. I don't really care about seeing Chiefs face but the way they are portraying John is a travesty.
Literally the best parts of the entire show have nothing to do with the story
yall are tripping, whole show was amazing to me.
A jackle with an energy sword is Ludacris
i havent seen this yet and I wasnt stoked about it but im hoping ill love it after i start watching it
you wont
im thinking about it lol@@bladehawk6823
You just watched it fully, theres nothing more to watch.
@@nosense8744 😂
Seriously this was probably supposed to be all the best parts too... horrendous.
Like, CMON GUYS
🔥💩
Best parts yeah I’m sorry just wow
1:42 love the bolt not moving when he's firing
I love how the vehicle's chain gun is useless when a human uses it, but it can mow Elites down when a Spartan fires it. It is still a badass scene though!
18:38 hahaha I didn't notice Riz taco'd that barbell weight when she kicked it. That's awesome.
Notice how the show is 10+ hours long about a first person shooter and only 26 min was actual combat. Sit with that
Notice how it's a show (as in, not a game) that revolves around story & characters? Thank God we're not subjected to Master Chief running around maze-like ships, Halo rings and caverns for hours on end? That would be so insanely boring. The games are what they are and work well for what they are. They can't be translated shot for shot to a live action drama. Won't work. Sit with that.
3:02 Alright! Master Chief brought Heavy Machine Gun is ready to fire! Say hello to my little friend!
Thanks for putting this out so I don't have to pay for the show. More apps should do what you guys do. Paramount a real one, idc what anyone says
Wow such a great show, cant wait for the highly anticipated season 3!!!!
the only good moments out of the show for free in one vid W
Nah they skipped a lot of action and tense scenes in this upload
Gracias Paramount y todo el personal involucrado. ❤
I like this but don’t think that saves you paramount. I will not be trivialized by my guilty pleasure of chief being a total badass. The show writers will never understand the complexity of what I wanted this show to be and in my mind if they don’t get season 2 right, that is the point of no return and I know I am not alone.
My girlfriend loves it, she would not have loved the neckbeard idea of purist halo. There is human drama, faces, relations the familiar dynamics of shows kinda. Even if I have played all the main games since childhood.
@@magnem1043 There is literally everything you just described in the various Halo books, many of which are phenomenal stories by the way. It would have been so easy for them to adapt some of the novels to make a genuinely great show, but instead they just completely changed just about every important story point and made something that can pretty much only be called Halo because of how things look.
You’re way too picky. The series has its fault, sure, but you have to commend them for putting in a huge amount of effort into the cgi of the covenant, the visual effects, the choreography of fight scenes, and really setting the mood by making it feel like the situation is completely hopeless for humanity in the face of the overwhelming power of the covenant. Just ignore the chief issues and questionable plot decisions and appreciate it for what it is.
Also, I want a season 2 so just stop complaining.
@@CloneCommanderCrater1102
>clonecommando
Name checks out. What is with you neckbeard chuds wanting everything about a series to perfectly conform to the source material? You are getting incredible combat scenes and excellent visual effects the likes of which we have never seen in a TV show based off a video game before. Just learn to appreciate what they’re giving us instead of constantly complaining like a beta.
@OpenBorders4isengard I will agree that the cgi, visual effects, and choreography are all pretty good, at least most of the time, but good visuals will absolutely not get me to just ignore the absolute mess of a story they made. I actually like certain parts of the show, and I especially enjoy all of the little deep lore things that they throw in here and there, but I just really can't get behind all of the really important parts of Halo's story that they just completely changed for the worse just to be different.
some of this looks pretty good and some just looks straight up goofy, want some good halo irl action and story, check forward unto dawn, trailers for odst and reach. Fan made films, etc.
Jackals using energy swords is a crime in itself 😫
Well I mean, jackals were the covenant race that cared the less for everyones culture so...
Why they making my marines look like stormtroopers bruh, smh.
The shield beeping and recharging sounds are excellent, why did they not do this in season 2? Not even through the helmet visor views happened in season 2...
Wait a minute unless I’m tripping I don’t remember Jackals rockin energy swords Jackals are snipers am I Trippin
It's a energy dagger shown in *Halo Reach* , jackals are not always snipers.
I do love some Master Cheeks action, if I do say so myself!
It felt like the action choreography team and story team had 2 completely different directors running the show
14:11 one of my fav scenes, and ill admit the actor never rly grew on me until i saw him in Halo, hes usually always an antagonist in other films- untill he played Soren
RvB did action wayyyy better
They should change the title to “ALL THE BATTLE SCENES FROM SEASON 1”
That’s pretty good for a series actually.
Around 11:57 the shotgun fires without Chief's finger being anywhere near the trigger.
These were beautiful action scenes! For a TV production, there is a lot of great CGI when needed for the big battles. Love the choice for lots of long shots with minimum camera cuts, it really allows the badass fight choreography to be shown off. As for the writing of this show…why they got my dog Master Chief raw dogging .
well said
Chief has always been a gigachad, why are you surprised?
Forward onto Dawn had the best live action Master Chief. Shame they didn't keep it that way.
Grazie mille per il video! 🇮🇹
I thoroughly enjoyed the 1st season! CAN'T WAIT for season 2!!!!
Thoroughly? That’s a lot of an overstatement.
@@ChefandTheArbistor in YOUR "opinion" and since it's a STATEMENT of MY opinion, keep scrolling junior 🤣
Are you mentally ill or have you just never played halo?
@@hankthepatriot3733 same I thought it was good.
Same, was it perfect? no but i enjoyed it and im a long time halo fan
Thanks for fuckn up the greatest
OG games ever...😂
Well I guess it is futuristic to use caseless ammunition. Still gives me an uncanny valley feeling but oh well
Why is the Covenant ground assault force comprised of jackals and grunts? Jackals that very peculiarly have swords. To go up against a UNSC base with 3 Spartans... CMON GUYS
Well the Spartans were a surprise. They attacked thinking it was just a base of regular humans. Even the civilians were surprised to see the Spartans show up. I agree though, the show has many flaws lol. Just saying this was kinda explained.
The only thing that makes this so terrible is the need to constantly show emotions and remind us what chiefs face looks like. I’m watching Halo not Iron Man. Spartans typically have such a disturbing calm about them while in heavy combat that I question if these are Spartans or just heavy armored ODSTs.
The actor playing MC pressured them for more face time.
@@xitaris5981 no duh granted they could have just gotten someone else it’s not like the original guy was good anyways.
The action keeps me attached to watching cause I never thought I’d see live action Halo battles other than forward onto dawn story could be closer to the source material so still on the edge but I’ll give S2 a try
Man i really loved this show
21:39
Jimmy Rings: Gets headbutted and yeeted like 10 feet and is incapacitated.
Master Chief in Infinite: Gets bashed in the face with a modified gravity hammer and gets back up nearly immediately.
Just for this I subscribed to Ur interesting channel. Thank U for offering us such a natural wonder. Btw, I liked the colors of Ur photos processed with that camera. 😉🙏🏻👍🏻⚫🌌
This scene at 4:39 I thought they gonna show a hunter. I remember the hunters are made up of those worms right?
As a person just now getting into halo, noted.
Also should I start with reach or combat edition?
For lore start with Reach, For Gameplay with Halo Combate Evolve.
No hablo inglés espero haberlo escrito bien 🤷
Esto es Halo Loco!!!
the only thing they got right was Cortana's voice
I came here to make this comment XD
Since when could the SKT-9 Bumblebee dock? Or is there another scene that shows it
My favorite part in ce was when i got scared playing 343 guilty spark so i just let cortana finish the level for me
I guess theres a reason John would rather use a plasma pistol than any of the dozen energy swords he walks by...why he wouldn't dual wield swords is incomprehensible
0:57 This right here was clean
It was clunky, imo. Why are all the movements so slow and exaggerated? Why did he choose to fight in melee range when he has a ranged weapon?
The action battles is 100% halo and done good
So there's a 3 of 4 fight scenes where Master Chief never takes off his helmet helmet, I don't know why people cry if this is literally a good representation of the Lore character
Man... Helldivers 2 looks so good!
I love how they edited Cortana to literally sound like she is in chiefs head
For being 500 years into the future, they sure use a lot of really, really antiquated equipment.
These action scenes are cool but anyone whose played the games and especially read the books its extremely underwhelming. They dont fight like Spartans and regardless of the story Spartan 2s wouldnt fight one another. This is clearly made by people who dont respect the source material and dont care about how fans will react to it. Im surprised they bothered to green light a 2nd season.
the fact that every episode isnt like a mission from the game, just angers me. Bungie laid out the perfect stories and all oyu have to do is turn it into live action
The battle scenes where so awesome, but in 10 50 minute episodes there were only three.
Is there any action in general beside what’s shown in this video?
@@bonelesswater1064 Nope. The show was absolute garbage, just play the games and pretend this thing doesn’t exist.
The Hud looks so dumb and the weapon sound effects are off
Excellent thanks
19:44 Kai is such a homie
>faceless protagonist improves character's appeal
>Mandalorian: "Let's not do creative camera angles - let's show his face!"
>Halo series: "Let's not maintain the mystique - let's show his face!"
Someone Edited the Helmet onto the Master Chief in a scene where he wasnt wearing it, and it made Sense.
Episode 9 was awewome
The battle felt kinda rushed to me. Still a very good season finale ep
I'm hoping to see more combat in season two, but that it has a more warlike feel, something like ground battles where we can see the marines fighting the Covenant.
Maybe I'm dreaming too much
Nah, the Trailer showed something like the fall of reach, so maybe your wish will become true.
