I don't get it, why they always make films / series of military games. although halo has a little bit more to offer than your regulary military shooter. I think cortana looks great.

Everything about this looks like crap. Looks really cheap with terrible acting, and Master Chief is still one of the dumbest character names. I know it's a ranking, but it still sounds dumb.

Looks very promising and I'm not even a Halo fan. Heck, I used to think the green man was called Halo to only later find out he's Master Chief.

It's a bit like someone thinking Link is called "Zelda." 😅
Because Halo is a person's name?
I always thought it referred to the circular space station's geometrical form.

maybe one day I'll play the game series and finally understand it :P
I hope the series will cover the story of Halo be understandable for the ones who never played the game.

Trailer looks interesting, could turn out to be a good series.

The only thing I found off were the dudes sporting AK-47s. Seriously AKs!? In the future! Should have done what every other good sci-fi does, mix and match and modify old and existing weapons into cool futuristic weapons, ala StarWars or Aliens.

Master Chief sounds cool to me, both as a Navy Rank and as a character's name in a Sci-fi FPS...unless you want him to be Master Chief Petty Officer or Master Chief Diver

I've read Halo 3, Halo Reach, and the newest one are the best to play. Unfortunately, I don't have an Xbox around right now to play Halo so I'll make do with this show. :)

Not holding my breath for this one.. The casting look out of place, the CGI look okay i guess, some action scenes (to reassure fans), but the Halo experience is much more than just those things. But we'll see..

It's Paramount+ so I'm giving it a chance.

For example, 1883 (prequel to Yellowstone) took a few episodes to "get" good, but it finally did and I'm enjoying it

Not too sure about this low budget non canon fan film, boss. I haven't played all the games, but even I can tell this isn't the same thing. And the plot seems to be pretty predictable for "military" movies we have these days. *Sigh*
