Haha that's almost as pathetic as you watching this show
halo will be on playstation 5
sony has won
only 1-3 is canon, 343 is fanfiction
and all will be on playstation
reach was bungie and is the best halo
deal w/it
>inb4 muh novelization based on a video game series doesn't match the real video game
Reach was shit and the equipment was awful
The equipment should have been items you could pick up on the map like in H3 instead of loadouts. It would have been much better, but customizing how your spartan looked and having it show up in the campaign was kino.
Agreed, most of my gripes are with the loadouts. I didn't know about the armour customisation carrying over, the shit you learn
Don't waste your time with this bullshit. It's beneath that dumb Arbiter anime 343 released.
Okay kiddo. Reach was the worst Bungie Halo. Everyone hated the poorly optimized graphics, reticle bloom, armor abilities, half-assed story (esp. when compared to ODST), bland Forge objects, no competitive matchmaking despite Halo being a competitive game for ages. I will admit that Noble Six was cool. Hell, they could have put him in the show, but nooooo.
Cope harder homosexual, Reach was peak Bungie
With 1-Reach, nearly everyone's favourite Halo is the one they first played
Same gay here, I've played 2 first, it's my favorite but Reach is peak design wise and atmosphere
The MP sucks tho
>I will admit that Noble Six was cool
how? he's even more of a blank slate self-insert character than Halo:CE Master Chief was. There's nothing to make they/them cool other than your own head canon
>There's nothing to make they/them cool other than your own head canon
Well, yeah. There was a cool back story about being an ONI assassin or something too.
Reach is most certainly not better than 2 or 3 (i'd say campaign was equal to CE), but compared to what we've gotten since it makes it look like a masterpiece
I can respect Reach because while it did break the canon compared to the novel it had decent art direction, music and the story and writing wasn't horrible. Like when Jun is tasked with "escorting" halsey and it's implied he's supposed to execute Halsey to prevent her from falling into Covenant hands.
343 killed halo
Too bad it's going to come out at a point waaaaay beyond anyone caring. Check out its multiplayer numbers. It's virtually a dead franchise. It's over.
MCC on Playstation will unironically probably be the biggest Halo thing in a long time, and it's going to be funny.
I cant wait to be able to play Halo CE BTB again
Assuming it works lol. It took them years to fix it on xbox/pc.

console wars are lame and you're just a corporate shill. All games should be multpi plat. Xbox and PC bros should enjoy games like bloodbourne.
based. everyone should have access to any game they want no matter what system they bought to play on.
If this actually happens I will unironically sell my Xbox for a PS5 Pro when that shit launches. Zero reason to keep hardware that has no support.

Id watch this in small doses. You should be a director
Unironically the blue beetle movie. One of the worst movies Ive ever seen
I’m a huge halo fan and I never watched any of these, the only live action halo that exists so far are the halo 3 and reach commercials. I hope someday they just adapt the original three games
Forward Unto Dawn was a great little series.
Axios!
FUD actually cared to make the spartans look lore-accurate
>"what is that, a giant robot?"
great description of what humans thought of Master Chief
Imagine if they told the story of Halo but instead of following Chief around and following the games exactly, you follow some marines/survivors from the Pillar of Autumn on Halo, and watch them struggle for survival on the Ring, against the covenant, then the flood.
Master Chief could periodically come in for badass moments, and the story could help build upon and show another side to what was going on during the events of Halo
BUUUUT INSTEAD HERE'S SOME CHINKS AND Black folk WHINING ABOUT SOAP OPERA DRAMA

>>make master chief white
His skin color has nothing to do with the character you frickibng pleb. He could be black as spade but kept his mask on it would be 100% better.
i cant unsee him as the serial rapist and murderer from SVU
~~*white*~~
Why didn’t they turn on their flashlights in that scene where they all run into that room and get killed by the arbiter?
Would have added to the budget, they needed to keep the budget for the entire battle of Reach under around 500$. So they put some guys in a basement somewhere.
So many years in development hell with Spielberg championing it and this is the best they can do.
Its so moronic
Halo?

This. The show isn't even Halo. It's another show with Halo plastered over the top.
Many such cases
I've said it in another thread, I've never played the games and only started watching Season 2 of this. It feels so underwhelming and casual considering humanity is supposed to be in a fight against genocidal aliens.
the show has quite literally nothing in common with the games besides the names and costumes, which are the only reasons this atrocity gets funding
Yeah it's bad but I'm so desperate for new scifi that I'll put up with it
Looks like utter shit with a fugly cast.
In the first episode you can see the writer’s mindset with those weird colonists who walk into the fire. They’re just unwell and don’t understand the gravity of a situation like an invasion
*skips all the world and character setup*
Finding things kind underwhelming here guys
Are you mentally moronic? That's not his job as a viewer if he's never been exposed to the source material (not that it even fricking matters in this case). This just proves if anything that the show, which has almost nothing in common with the source material, fails to establish its own world, and fails to ride off the pre-established lore of the source material.
He said he also skipped the entire first season of the show genius
I missed that part but it also doesn't make a difference cos you can pretty much start at season 2 and miss out on almost frick all plot points of consequence.
>That's not his job as a viewer
Yes it fricking is, I'm sick of johnny come lately homosexuals showing up to something decades after the fact and b***hing they don't know what's going on. The show being a total pile of shit doesn't excuse viewers being lazy pieces of shit. Do your fricking research.
moron, thats sequel trilogy logic here. What you didn't know about Palpatine surviving because you didn't listen to some podcast episode? Lazy frick.
That shit is not ok. A competent showrunner will create a show that explains itself to the viewer effortlessly.
Like the Stargate SG-1 pilot or the BSG miniseries. A good showrunner working with good writers absolutely could retell the story of Halo CE in a way thats both entertaining for first-timers and OG Halo fans.
>first-timers
First timers can eat fricking shit. Frick normalgays, go back to your sportsbars and talking in person.
You know who can actually shit? The people making bank of being lazy af screenwriters.
The world building of the game literally has nothing to do with the show
It's entirely different
And he's entirely correct. The show has given no information at all about the state of the galaxy or the war. Sometimes it's treated as no big deal, sometimes it's an existential threat. But it's only mentioned lightly.
It's just pure dogshit writing.
You should play the Bungie games, they're casual in their gameplay and the lore is really cool
And if you like them read the books, that show is an abomination
The only thing I've liked so far is Ackerson, but they're going to butcher his storyline
They're setting up the Fall of Reach and unless the next episodes are full blown war my expectations are really low
In a better timeline we would've get the movie at the peak of Halo fame produced by Peter Jackson
I remember a rumor back in the day that District 9 was a test run to see if Blomkamp could make Halo kino. I also remember a rumor about George Clooney getting cast as Sam Fisher in a Splinter Cell movie.
I think they're going with the "ONI is downplaying just how bad they're losing the war and/or actively suppressing information" angle for now while it's just the outer colonies falling, I imagine the inevitable full scale invasion of Reach will change that
Considering humanity's best defense was just the Covenant not knowing where their planets even are, it seems kind of absurd to downplay that information. Kind of like encouraging someone in Detroit to leave their door unlocked.
This would be equally dumb. Reach was literally the last major stronghold before Earth.
Literal trillions have died before the fall of Reach with MAJOR colonies being lost left and right. For reference: Adm. Cole was killed seven years earlier in the battle of psi serpentis.
Imagine it's 1944 and Eisenhower got wiped out in Normandy, MacArthur and the entire 3rd fleet was sunk before getting to Leyte and Patton and the seventh army lie dead in a desert in Africa. And all of those events aren't even noteworthy enough to be on the frontpage of the NYT because bigger and worse battles have already been fought and lost.
>Adm. Cole was killed seven years earlier in the battle of psi serpentis.
>killed
nice UNSC propaganda talking point
as opposed to the "good news" that THE most well known member of the UNSC admirality said "frick this shit, I'm gonna start homesteading instead." After he sustained 99% losses.
I don't know what ONI is smoking in the propaganda department, but I'd have assumed glowBlack folk in space had access to higher quality drugs.
The original story for the games is a pretty thinly veiled War on Terror expy where the aliens are space Islamists. So as you'd imagine this gives millennial writers the "ick" and what you get is another humiliation ritual like the Witcher series where they punish the gaming chuds for daring to push back against social justice politics 10 years ago
the true villains are humans
all the aliens want to do is wipe out humanity, and they deserve to
People act like Halo story was good or something when it was always the most basic scifi garbage ever. Halo was carried by MP mode, not story.
this, can anyone ever tell you what the story was besides durr kill bad aliums
The lord of halo is pretty much the covenant waging a holy war on humanity, in the soldiers eyes it’s because humanity are heretics that defile their gods, the irony is that humanity actually is their gods(to be exact, in their eyes the unworthy who didn’t transcend existence and become actual gods) , the leaders know this but have no choice but to exterminate humanity or their entire religion and power over the galaxy falls apart and crumbles.
The original ending of the games is finding out that not only is humanity the ancient race the covenant worship, but the forerunners never transcended existence, they killed themselves to starve the flood.
Halo has great lore and background and you’re homosexuals
Trips of truth confirms those anons are indeed gaylords.
Halo's lore from its books during the Bungie era was legitimately top-grade shit. Bungie were the granddaddies of esoteric storytelling in vidya long before Fromsoft. Marathon 1,2 and Infinity's stories are genuine insanity
absolutely correct. It's clear that the showrunners basically heard
and thought "yup, we got it. No need to read the books or play the original game".
They heard about a game that was "kill aliens" and then made a TV show about it but then completely disregarded the alien war bits?
Considering that the "human vs aliens" bit is the only thing left thats recognizable as halo in this show I'd say so.
This why we don't let holes touch things for boys.
There's nothing to gain from any of this and I cannot imagine a scenario where you will have look back on their time spent on this series with any kind of fondness. There's not even a discussion to be gained by hate watching it. The show offers you nothing.
>Latino family sees a white male.

Why did they pick such an ugly looking dude? Isn't John meant to be peak human, i.e. peak bone structure, symmetry, facial fat distribution, proportions etc.?
>Isn't John meant to be peak human, i.e. peak bone structure, symmetry, facial fat distribution, proportions etc.?
No, John isn’t special in any way (for a Spartan), he’s just a natural leader and lucky
Not exactly. They were taken as kids becaus they fit the experiment genetically speaking, but there was still risk of failure. IIRC there were a number of failed Spartans that died taking the super soldier serum and some that lived through it were disfigured only to be corrected while in suit. I don't think John has ever been explicitly stated as handsome, but the anon that mentioned him being pale af is correct i think. They rarely take off the armour cause they might look grotesque outside of it or some state that they simply feel naked without it
>*dies from cringe*

Is this set after the covenant war?
At the beginning.
Burgers?.jpg
someone just tell me if they are doing the fall of reach?
Game not book I think. The climactic moment of the first two sodes is Chief finding it that a Spartan team was sent to investigate a disabled comms buoy on Reach and never reported back.
They should just replace him with AntC's version of Master Chief, it would make the show infinitely more tolerable.

Unironically this would be the only way they could save it. Make it a stupid comedy and sci-fi parody.
Noty a Halo lore expert but why does humanity have this massive underclass in Space whilst fighting a war with aliens? Just fricking conscript all these people.
>Just fricking conscript all these people
Alien empire consists of several species so they vastly outnumber humanity anyway. Plus near absolute technological superiority. One alien ship can take on 3-5 human ships of same tonnage. It was hopeless war from the start.
>covenant tech outclasses humanity's by a large margin
>human soldiers fight like hell anyway
>elites are impressed, assume prophets will extend an invitation to the humans to join the covenant
>they don't
>elites begin to question why they are exterminating a species that fights with honor and bravery
>the prophets know humans are actually forerunners
>they MUST exterminate humanity or it will come to light that the great journey, and thus their entire religion, is a lie
>elites begin to piece it together
>prophets order the brutes to exterminate the elites
>humanity and elites team up to stop the prophets
original Halo lore only makes sense if humans are forerunners. what the frick was 343 thinking?
One thing I didn't understand, if the Prophets knew The Great Journey was bullshit why did Truth still try to light the rings? Did he go bonkers? Did he see the Covenant falling apart and just decide "frick it, if I can't rule the galaxy I'll break it"? Did he meme himself into thinking The Great Journey would somehow work after all?
In the original script for the first games the Forerunner structure underneath Africa was supposed to have contained a macguffin that could be used to guide evolution after the Halos were activated. Originally Truth wanted to plug himself into it so he could build his own new vision of the galaxy over the next 100,000 years or whatever.
There was going to already be a Forerunner in stasis that had been influencing humanity’s evolution for all this time, the big reveal at the end of H3 would be pulling him out and discovering that Forerunners were just 10ft ancient human übermensch.
>In the original script for the first games the Forerunner structure underneath Africa was supposed to have contained a macguffin that could be used to guide evolution after the Halos were activated.

stargate did that with anubis. Still not a bad plot tbqh
I always felt that 3 had this huge jump with the Prophet Truth. Also the VA was worse. In 2 he's obviously working towards something, it's unclear what, then in 3 he's just cRAzY which was weak writing
>In 2 he's obviously working towards something
What was he working towards? He was refused to listen to the Arbiter and 343. Tartarus was about to activate the ring.
Face it, Truth knew he would have gone out with a bang but needed to keep the charade until the last second to not lose his position of power.
we don't know but there's no indication he's crazy. There being some sort of Forerunner artifact or his deliberately trying to clear the galaxy of other lifeforms to do whatever makes more sense than him suddenly being insane
The writers for halo 3 weren’t the same as halo 2 which is why the writing immediately fails off with the “to war” line and the prophet instantly loses all his intelligence and mystery from halo 2
in 3 truth was a pragmatist but he was still a true believer
but also 3 and older lore was that humanity literally were the forerunners
New lore rationalizes it by saying that all the prophets along with any covenant loyalists still around holed up in a few bunkers on the ark and their plan was to fire the rings and then take the now empty galaxy for themselves
It still kind of works with humanity being “gods chosen people” as the religion would still be a lie if your gods literally have a genetically defined successor that isn’t you
It’s really stupid though
I think the most infuriating thing is the homosexuals defending that "lore" because of a single terminal in 3 games rubbing your face with the "twist"
>the frick was 343 thinking
they were backtracking on "humans were forerunners" even during the bungie era. You can see hints of the new lore seeping in during 3, and then it just gets more and more shoved until the forerunner trilogy which started in january of 2012
>You are the child of my makers, inheritor of all they left behind. You ARE forerunner. But this ring, is mine.
IIRC, Bungie was pretty explicit in forerunners being ancient humans, but Frank O'Connor was hard line in the camp that they were just different ancient aliens and had the terminal entries thrown into the game to that end, and then made it explicit by introducing the Didact in Halo 4 when he took over.
begin to question why they are exterminating a species that fights with honor and bravery
>>the prophets know humans are actually forerunners
>>they MUST exterminate humanity or it will come to light that the great journey, and thus their entire religion, is a lie
begin to piece it together
Is this at all referenced in the game? There are storyboards that make this pretty cohesive but as far as the game goes it seems like the Brutes betray the Elites out of absolutely nowhere.
Someone needs to till the fields
Well, Humanity is supposed to be on the brink of extinction
Every space battle they won is because they outnumber Covenant ships like 5 to 1 and they still suffer massive losts
On ground level Humanity had decent chances of victory but it doesn't really matter since the Covenant will glass the planet afterwards
This. The only thing to turn any tides in the war at all center around the ring worlds as the plot catalysts. Even after their introduction, humanity's chances get marginally slimmer for other reasons.
a better question in Halo lore is why not just use AI controlled ships? Cortana, in the novels at least, can basically run entire ships by herself. They can automate the mining, manufacture, and deployment of ships with dumb AI doing repetitive tasks and then have them controlled by smart AI. Just spam them and fight the covenant with sheer brutal numbers. Humanity is a lot further along with AI tech, and the Covenant AIs are just captured and reprogrammed ones of human origin or at least that's what First Strike suggested.
The lack of AI's controlling the UNSC's incredibly weaker ships is not the reason the UNSC is losing
no but they could just exponentially have the AI build ships and manage them and just spam them against the Covenant
Canonically the USNC does not have energy shields on their ships and the Covenant point defense lasers are very effective at destroying UNSC missiles. The only real offensive options are the MAC guns which are effective but require long recharging periods after firing. So the typical strategy is to spam missiles and sacrifice ships while the big boy ships charge their MACs. Only way this works in their favor is when outnumbering covenant ships 2:1 or so.
Then their FTL drives are slower and less accurate than the Covenant so even fleeing USNC forces are unlikely to actually escape if pursued.
Manpower is not the issue as ground engagements are at least winnable for the UNSC. They just can't build enough ships with enough firepower fast enough.
This. The Covenant are awful tacticians and the only reason they won most space battles is because of their more advanced tech. If UNSC ships just had some light shielding and more accurate FTL drives then it would be a lot more even.
Covenant still had much larger navy. Even 1 to 1 wouldnt be good for UNSC
it's crazy how small the Covenant fleets were for the first 27 years of the war
like they were sending just the tip of one finger out to push the UNSC over
I don't buy the moronation of "appealing to broader audience" when halo sells millions of copies everytime. they already had a loyal market.
this must be intentional.
They are different audiences.
What somewhat passes for a good storytelling in an immature format like gaming doesn't cut it for television.
>immature format
Television is pigswill
There are no "immature formats", just good and poor storytelling.
Note that immature format doesn't mean games are for babies, it means it's literally an immature format in comparison to others.
You can name on one hand the truly accomplished directors of video games, in the formats history.
this shit doesn't cut it for television either you moron
This is the worst cope of all.
Halo's story may be simple but it's mature enough for TV. Remember BSG? For all it's faults, the show kept itself honest to the premise: Cylons nuke the colonies and the fleet escapes with a few survivors.
Every single piece of Halo media keeps itself true to that same basic premise within the Halo universe: Humans on the losing side of a genocidal war against a fanatic religious alien alliance. Even a crossover fan fiction with Buffy the vampire Slayer would be more true to Halo than this crap.
Imagine how incompetent you have to be to make a show about Halo and frick this basic premise up by introducing a human covenant member.
Even the basic SPARTAN II premise is broken because they were basically chemically castrated through the Mengele-esque augmentation process. They're sexless killing machines. And they were purpose-built to kill separatists.
Even if you wanted to show "unexplored" sides of the Halo lore by setting up a halo show during the insurrection, you'd still have fricked up by creating this show.
All of this ignores that the perfect Halo story for this format already exists: Halo CE or the novelization: Halo The Flood.
This show is one of THE cheapest cash grabs that was ever perpetrated by this industry.
its really weird. because if their goal really was the broader audience, why go with the near perfectly adapted videogame look? because lets be real, for anyone who only knows halo by name or not at all, the grunts, hierarchs and everything must look kinda laughable.
>Indian Admiral is fired and Dr Halsey arrested due to the SPARTAN program
>Captain Keyes still has his job despite being Halsey’s accomplice and Husband
My dude Halsey is under arrest because she sabotaged a UNSC base, assumed control of a Spartan team to try and steal the Forerunner artifact then used an illegal clone to evade capture.
The admiral just was the one picked to take the fall for all that shit.
>Husband
Halsey is Keyes' babymomma at best
she didn't raise miranda
Halsey is the spartan's weird kidnap mother way more than she is miranda's mother
>tfw Book Halsey was up front and honest with the S2s about everything
>even knows oly oly oxen free the S2-only code they keep to themselves
>john halo

He's right.
Thanks I will not be taking your opinion seriously
^This post is a gay^
>defends last jedi
>calls anyone else a gay
might i suggest finding new friends?
diversity hires have no desire to adapt anything, just writing whatever garbage pops in their head no matter how inappropriate
>What's your KDR?
Didn't they just do a marketing campaign that this is the new & improved Halo. That the showrunners removed all the aspects fand hated.
Master Chief in "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner" sounds like the opposite of that.
I don't know where people got that idea, but the whole thing from the end of last season where John died and Cortana assumed control of his meat puppet, resulting in a dude who acted more like game Chief?
Instantly written out and reversed, John restored and Cort gone off screen.
>Cort gone off screen
What? Why? John's whole thing with Cortana is how two pieces of Military Hardware become best friends.
It's handwaved in seconds as they yanked Cort out of Chief's head as part of reviving him.
She's now being secretly held by ONI and being used to run simulations for what is clearly the Fall of Reach.
Also with a completely different uglier design for unexplained reason.
Why did they made cortana look like that ukraine war troon?
She's cute
Aren’t Spartans different looking from regular humans (like space marines of 40k)? How is Master Chief doing all these undercover missions?
they aren't inhuman mutants with horrifying proportions like space marines, they're just genetically engineered super soldiers who all look like captain america. they could go undercover anywhere where steroids are obtainable
he's literally supposed to be a freak though.
>super pale skin because henever takes his armor off (oh right they fricked this up already)
>Chief is 6'10" even without his armor
>significant surgical scars all over his body
>they aren't inhuman mutants with horrifying proportions like space marines
Yes they are. Master Chief is 7 feet tall and built like a brick shit house.
The Spartans can't pass as normal because their emotions were turned off, Chief and Silver Team all have theirs back, so they're basically just tall super soldiers both otherwise can pass as people
the books say chief is pale as frick from spending so much time in the armour, even compared to other Spartans
in fall of reach chief's first real mission was infiltrating an insurrectionist compound while in disguise.
They're all gigachad tall but still manage to blend in somehow.
Literally all the women would be amazonian goddesses
They should've just adapted the books.
This chick is a troony and you can’t convince me otherwise.
>not even a muscled woman
These are super soldiers bruh
They just use the surround them with short people buff
Is this supposed to be Blue Team from Halo 5?
It’s Diet Blue Team full of OCs for the show. It’s neither Fred nor Kelly nor Linda.
It's a general equivalent of it but not meant to be an adaption of it. The non-Chief members aren't meant to be OC versions of the Blue Team members, etc.

reddit names
reading through the books, there are essentially 3 traditions of UNSC naming
1 are historical names
Stalingrad, Texas, Punic that sort of thing
2 are poetic names
In Amber Clad, Forward Unto Dawn, All Under Heaven, Heart of Midlothian, Lance Held High, that sort of thing
3 are the less serious names
Two For Flinching, Bum Rush, etc
Way I see it, the 1st category of ships are from Earth, or rather Sol yards on the moon and mars. Steeped in history
2 are made in the inner colony yards like Reach. Less real history, but still want to come off as refined
3 are made in wildcat outercolony yards who really don't care
3 just sound dumb, like they got drafted in a Halo subreddit
they've been a part of the lore since the first book, which came out before the first game. Have some levity, humans name their stuff stupid shit sometimes, it's part of the charm of "the whole of humanity standing against an alien onslaught"
not really, they came with later books
both the examples I gave came from contact harvest, which is still solidly early halo lore
yeah, where they started retconning shite. not from the first books.
so, wait
bungie era lore is now bad because you personally don't like it?
frick off, I can see dismissing 343 era lore but that's just inane
move your goalposts elsewhere, moron. you claimed it was in the first book, then fell back on a later one that was full of retcons for the first book anyway. dishonest.
Say My Name was in Halo 2,
Do you Feel Lucky was Cole Protocol,

Glasgow Kiss was Ghosts of Onyx,

>Say My Name was in Halo 2
No it wasn't, check the transcript.

The rest are later shite, who cares.
Didn't Two For Flinching have the same triple-shot MAC cannon the Pillar of Autumn had?
For me, it's Aegis Fate
I know blacks and asians can carry the gene; but non-white redheads give off this really uncanny valley vibe.
>I know blacks and asians can carry the gene
Actually most Asians don't have the redhead gene. Some blacks do but a quarter of them end up albino.
I still don't understand why they didn't just adapt Halo 1. Why the frick did they decide to hire a bunch of writers who never played a game to write a story that has nothing to do with the game? People screech about woke shit, but really, why the frick would they hire these women?
>I still don't understand why they didn't just adapt Halo 1
That’s where they are going with the story
What's their logic, that it takes two seasons of irrelevant character-driven non-canon bullshit about relationships and PTSD to properly show the Halo story? First season crashed and burned, this second season is crashing and burning, so they probably won't even get a season three. Nice of them to waste all their time, money, and effort on pointless shit.
That’s not my problem

Halo 2 and 3 are pretty much more of the same shit.
Season 4 should be First Strike kino
You homosexuals will literally watch anything. How do you not have a nice day?
>want diversity
>create new characters or blackwash existing ones instead of using the beloved fan favorite
is it because he's the classic 80s action movie black guy and basically a buddy cop sidekick for Chief? He doesn't b***h about racial stuff enough?
making this show a success was such a fricking layup and yet they refuse to do it
wasn't gonna drink tonight but i'm missing sergeant johnson like a mfer
>could have had buddy cop series with Chief and Johnson as his autistic tard wrangler providing comic relief
>get sloppa instead
SAD!
>tfw no Halo spin-off game where you play as Sergeant Johnson commanding his marines during Harvest
Al Matthews died
all I remember from the Sgt Johnson book is that he and that arab oni spook lady bone on the transport as reach is glassed behind them. 11 year old certainly did not expect that in MY halo book
qrd of season 2 so far?
>The Westoid system baby that enjoyed the CIA guidelines in the media for 50 years but now its time for 3rd world racial integration
Any kino webms?
Gaylo haha
Is the Chinese girl still in the show?
Yes but she doesn't have that stupid haircut anymore
It is a staggering improvement, God I hated that haircut in the first season
What I don't get is, why are you even trying to preserve continuity with season 1? Who was a fan of season 1? You could wipe season 1 from existence and Halo fans that put up with this series wouldn't bat an eye.
Me, and I'm actually annoyed that they've pulled an Infinite
>come back guys we totally fixed the show so its like halo is supposed to be
Meanwhile John Halo goes to the digital prostitutes to talk about his feelings with a prostitute hologram customized to look like Cortana. Yeah Halo and stuff.
im not console gay so never played halo, is this show actually good or you homosexuals are hate watching it?
They will never be able to recapture Halo 2 coop with friends. So why bother it was always going to be dogshit. The best they could possible do is a dog soldiers story against the horde, group of lads vs alien scum. The show doesnt capture the 00s bro nostalgia aesthetic.
Halo's popularity opened the floodgates to normies and feminists.
Apologise.
Okay, but can you just be human?
It was a good scene.
That's not even the worst part.
>magic Asian girl makes a reappearance
>goes around doing super thief shit
>steals pliers to pull out ear tracker, doesn't work
>just ends up pulling it out a few mins later with her bare hands
They also made the new Cortana even more ugly. They got rid of cool black pirate Spartan so his bogged as frick wife gets more screen time too.
I think the new Cortana is the actual Cortana VA
Nope, this what Cortana VA (Jen Taylor) looks like
Reminder to report any Innies posting ITT
I fricking hate homosexuals who want video game shows and movies.
> Adm. Cole was killed
Lies and heresy. He fricked off with his Waifu.
So how is s2e1 Black folk. Stop talking about games
its shit
How did a show with a budget of 10 million per episode end up looking like a cheap b movie
Idk why anons are trying to speculate and pick apart every detail. We know the writers purposely went against everything in halo, wrote a different script from a premade junk sci Fi pitch and painted over with generic halo icons.
This is Chinese bootleg halo. I hate it but I'm not putting any thought or energy into analyzing it. There's nothing worth spending time here.
but shitting on the show is fun
Both are good reasons. But out of all the series being bastardized and ruined in this gay decade, halo just hurts more than it typically does. Like I don't give a frick about star trek, or star wars or marvel, they AT LEAST had a decent run before it went to shit.
Halo wasn't even given...a fraction of consideration. Nobody stood up for it. Nobody defended it. It was given to the same cultures who hate us and there was no Henry Cavill to steer it in the right direction. It was doomed to be this gay shit always.
Smile because it happened and so forth anon.
I just prefer these clean breaks so to speak. Knowing that it's over just relieves me of the disappointment I'd ultimately feel it I would invest myself in this show. Like I watched TLJ and after that I stopped caring about star wars. I now can enjoy the old movies without any attached baggage.
And it's the same with Halo.
Anon
is right about it being chinese bootleg halo. It hasn't ruined Halo. It's just a shitty knockoff that morons buy. Your and my enjoyment of the original story is not subject to the whims of a pathetic hollywood writing cabal.
We don't need to sit here and lament about horrible games and shows being released every year. We can just reminisce about the good ol' times and share our hope for a truly amazing future when passionate fans might get a real shot at this.
TLJ is kino.
It could be worse. You could be a wheel of time fan
My condolences man. Although Idk how it could get any worse than Halo
Imagine if they made Halsey the main character and gave her power armor and a gun and chief just stood there watching her rip halo rings in half by herself. Similar levels of why is this even happening, chief boning a covie is antithetical to the story type stuff still occurring, but chief just sits there
I just like to talk halo with the bros. I don't care about the show in and of itself.
>500 years in the future
>holograms and AI
>FTL travel
>still use physical wallboards and placards
>probably written literally just for this scene
Where is the fricking war with aliens?
>Where is the fricking war with aliens?
SOON
Why she looks happy?
why does she wear a uniform?
Why do you want to see her naked you fricking chud? Touch grass
aliens?
This show is for millennial cat ladies, they just talk about their feelings and angst against the bad government
I've watched the battle scenes and nothing else. The game cutscenes and fanmade clips were better
Fanmade clips?
VISEGRAD RELAY IS DOWN
JUST LIKE IN THE VIDEO GAME
THE COVENANT IS ON REACH
wait hold on so they know the covenant are already on reach? why not just activate the winter contingency now?
Because white British man bad
Admitted, even in Halo Reach that entire section didn't make sense story wise.
The very moment the UNSC had an inkling of the Covy army, they would have carpet bombed the entire area from Orbit.
In the Book, the Covenant fleet shows up out of nowhere (Because they can Slipspace jump accurately) and starts a full scale invasion immediately, which highlights the desperation as every single slow ass human ship attempts to haul their ass back to defend the planet, and it makes total fricking sense story wise.
In the game viscera’s relay is the only thing that was keeping up intersystem or inter planet communications iirc
They also didn’t know it was the covenant until kat got it running temporarily for them to warn Holland because reach has a really large insurrectionist presence whom they thought took it out.
which seems to be missing from the show as far as we can tell
>series about Earth under a multicultural United Nations government
>the UN are the bad guys
how did this get on tv?
Le evil tyrannical Earth wants to supress le free thinking revolutionaries and kidnaps little kids to turn them into killing machines
I really liked Cortana. In season 1 better than in season 2
did chief really cuck cortana with a female arby? it's to stupid to not be fanfiction
a female *human* arbiter lmao.
I could probably DARE you to find a stupider fan fiction that isn't deliberately funny/awful and you'd likely come up empty.
It's shit but she's not an arbiter
Fine. Still you'd be hard pressed to find a fan fiction as stupid as one with a human covenant member that has sex with the master chief while cortana watches.
Yes it's obvious that nobody with an once of creative control or influence in this show had ever played Halo or read a John-117 book. Possibly one of the worst adaptations of a character ever.
I liked Cortana in the show. In fact, I think she's the best character in it.
The John Halo meme is so fricking funny to me i dunno where it came from or why but it just cracks me up. Can someone explain it to me beyond the fact that it’s mocking how the master chief from show and games are vastly different
There was a meme about 15 years ago where people would say "I think Halo is a pretty cool guy, he kills aliens and doesn't afraid of anything"
It's a resurgence of that
Oh, i swear I’ve seen it used in other settings like “John Baldur” and “John bloodborne”
bungie devs also joked about it on and off. In the Halo 1 dev commentary they mentioned that play testers assumed MC was a woman because there's always a female voice
john isn't even in the script of any of the bungie games
Cortana calls him John in Halo 3
Only when they were fricking.
Threadly reminder that this is the only good halo show ever made
after how shit the first season was I cant even believe it got a second season. serious how or why would paramount the most struggling streaming service make something as bad as this?
wouldn't they have been smarter to make something good and have another hit show like Yellowstone it makes no sense.
just cant watch, that guy playing master chiefs nose is so fricking large. i just cant take him seriously. his voice is annoying as shit too
I swear it feels like every show anymore is written by moronic women. It's just people fricking talking and the occasional scene where some short haired girlboss dyke rants about how strong she is. What the frick is this trash?
You forgot the stale meme reference or some other meta bullshit like
.
"Like uhm it would totally be funny if we had a character talk about K/D because like Halo comes from like a game where players have a K/D."
Am I being moronic or does KDR not even make sense IRL because...you don't fricking respawn?
It seems they're talking about an in universe game called 'Spartan Attack'. John is as confused as you are.
Worst master chief since Gordon Ramsay.
Can't take another shot!
Marines, good to go sir! Waiting for orders.
when will I have my own personal hyperintelligent humanlike AI assistant that I can anytime talk to inside my head?
How is Cortana able to be seen and heard? Even outdoors when there are no projectors or speakers around?
I think they mention a projector being installed in the suit, but sometimes Cortana is being "projected" even after John left the room.
They didn't really think it through
John bros it’s so over for us
>he smarter then John
>he has more power then John
>he has a gajillion assets
>he has Halsey locked in a goon cave
>he makes Cortanna’s digital pussy gush every time he tell her to frick off
>he’s gaslighting Jai to turn on John
>he’s stopping John from investigating
>he’s buckbroken Keyes
>he got the pajeeta fired
How can John even compete?
>We want Burn Gorman’s character back in S2
>Sir he has been killed off already
wasted potential
>Burn Gorman
Hideo Kojima ass name
any webm of sports bra Kai?
Does anyone else think the ‘Spartans were originally created by a military dictatorship to stamp out rebellion’ plot from the books was just a bad idea overall?
No, frick Innies
It kind of is but I think the most offensive thing you could do with the Spartans is the “mind control chip”
The Spartans are supposed to be smart and having them be people who know the Consequences of their failure be the end of the human race and still accepting that mantle despite what they lost to get there is more compelling
kinda, because it wasn't a military dictatorship in the books
at least the mexican chick is cute as frick
>33
what the shit? she aged like a fine wine
I hate 343 Industries so much it's unreal.
More like ME-ster Chief
evil mommy halsey was good.
MC going full PTSD is a neat take on the character even if it deviates from the source material.
Kai is my BPD 6'7 waifu
the shittiest parts of S1 were the asian girls side quest story
This is a minority take but I like (relatively speaking because the other stories are shit) the silver team subplots. But I’m one of the few who like Blue Team showing up in Halo 5.
I mean, everyone was excited for blue team to show up if they had read any of the classic halo books, they just implemented them very poorly
>the shittiest parts of S1 were the asian girls side quest story
yeah if you exclude this shit you actually have a decent show left enjoy, imo.
Absolutely not
You just forgot about all the scenes of literal who diversity characters talking about soap opera drama. That's 90% of this show, other than the few scenes they make to put in the trailers.
like what? are you talking about Soren? Spartan turned space pirate is cool as frick.
Kwan and her whole noble desert people shtick was the only cringe diversity shit.
>inb4 all the characters tertiarily related to Kwans plot
>like what? are you talking about Soren? Spartan turned space pirate is cool as frick.
He sits in a boring dark room and talks to some woman about her feelings
that's literally his scenes are
the frick are you on about
are you a bot shilling this shit or something? Cool as frick? lmao
Do you like the epic cool part where he talks to the woman?
Or what about the part where the woman whines to him?
>introduce a latina
>it isn't the spartan II who retired to go full amazon on a random marine and has at least 2 kids by 2552
wasted potential
TV version of Ackerson doesn’t want to cause a public panic over the Covenant winning but he’ll send what few SPARTANs he has left on a suicide mission?
>So, you beat the Halo demo..
>Not bad soldier, not bad at all..
>BUT ARE YOU READY TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP?!
Remember when videogames were fun
video games were never fun, fatty
God Tier: Chief x Kai
Good Tier: Chief x Cortana
Ok Tier: Chief x Perez
Shit Tier: Chief x Maki
I’m still pissed if we never got a resolution to the Cortana arc in the games. Affected my enjoyment of infinite.
