Don't even do "it was a dream" just completely relaunch it and hope for the best, the word of mouth on this thing is so bad at this point that even if you had a season of Emmy winning performances with top of the line special effects there wouldn't be any way to convince the public to watch it.
Anyways just adapt the first game, the plot is very simple and normie friendly
>Halo: The Fall of Reach
Imagine being given the rights to make a TV show about a popular Sci fi franchise and NOT adapting the book that already exists, which details how the whole thing began. >creation of Spartan program >discovery of The Covenant >death of all the Spartans, save one, the main character of the whole series
No one who made this show ever played a single minute of Halo. They just want us to see "NAME" and think "I know that thing, I will now consooooom"
Fricking everything, most egregiously the Covenant landing on Reach UNDETECTED and the dead zone being attributed to fricking INNIES. How about the fact you never see any MAC platforms? There's no significant space battle whereas in the book it was a hugely destructive sortie where both sides got massacred by each other? There's a thousand things man. Even Reach itself feels more like a backwater colony than humanity's stronghold in space.

She was already on the Autumn, the game fricked up so bad by making you have to deliver her to it they tried to bullshit it by saying it was merely a fragment of her.

the book is so much better than the game in terms of storytelling. you’re missing out if you don’t at least give it a shot.
Guess I better read it then. I can't really take the games seriously because the enemies look way too goofy for the supposed existential threat that they are but I love the spartan lore.

When you play on higher difficulty you have to focus much more on elites/brutes anyways.

I never got this impression playing Reach.
Half of the missions take place in either industrial complexes or metropolises.
What was Reach supposed to look like? A 40k hiveworld?

bare deserts with military/industrial bullshit though.

Let me work backwards: >last mission: spaceship industrial complex >2nd-to-last: ONI base (w/ Halsey's main lab) >3rd-to-last: Metropolis >Metropolis >UNSC starport(?) + Space Station >Power Plants (in the desert holy shit oh nooo) >Power Plants >ONI Base >Power Plants, Actual Farmland, and ONI Research Station

yeah, and it's physically larger (more land space) than earth.
when the earth had 700 million people was the majority of the land used for industry? or was it mostly rural?

not all. Many backwaters were left behind and never found by the Covenant. Also not every Inner Colony was btfo'd. Remember that after they found Reach, they beelined to Earth FAST, ignoring anything in between the Epsilon Iridani System and Sol.

didn't the Covenant have the thing that showed them where EVERY human in the whole galaxy was and their campaign was entirely genocidal?
>I'm too lazy to not only read a book, I can't even be fricked to play the video game >I follow the story from cut scene compilations on YouTube
The absolute state of zoomers. Peak homosexualry.
Have you read it? Because it's literally the origin of the Spartans and the war, essentially the prequel to Halo 1. Anyone who is a fan of Halo would appreciate it, you don't need turbo autism. Plus it would bring in new people who have no idea what the series is, because they can learn about everything rather than just jumping in and having no clue why there's only one super soldier in the whole war.
>Halo: The Fall of Reach

No one who made this show ever played a single minute of Halo. They just want us to see "NAME" and think "I know that thing, I will now consooooom"
There's really two key things that are very simple, coherent storytelling shit and I'm absolutely baffled by the Halo team's own hatred of it
>every Spartan except for Chief is dead >humans built the Halo, boom big reveal, that's why all the aliens are c**ts because we were c**ts 250,000 years ago and we don't even remember it or know what they're pissed about so they really need to get the frick over it
But after Halo 3 there's this obsession with absolutely undermining the first point, apparently it's like the Jedi and there were still frickin' hundreds of them running around besides "The last one"
And the second point has melted into a sheer cauldron of autism where humans didn't built the Halo, but were genetically engineered by the guys who were cloned by the guys who were robots that were built by the guys that actually did
All the Eric Nylund books are top tier and worth adapting. Contact Harvest would be the most interesting since it actually shows humanity’s first contact with the covenant. and also because Sgt Johnson as the main protagonist, cast him
>death of all the Spartans, save one, the main character of the whole series
Except Chief isn't the last surviving spartan, he's just the most important one
>death of all the Spartans, save one, the main character of the whole series
Except Chief isn't the last surviving spartan, he's just the most important one
In the games Chief is de-facto the last Spartan, but even in the Bungie EU lore there were a shitton more of them they were just stuck on the shield world with Halsey during Ghosts of Onyx
Get totally rid of Spartans and dumb cgi. Follow a group of marines, maybe odsts. Aliens only ever seen as a far off terror. Similar to signs maybe. Follow them through a month or two watching the planetary defence gradually fall apart.
I’ve always dreamt of having a Halo show but more focused on the Marines, kinda like a sci-fi Generation Kill. Of course you have the Chief show up every now and then to have the audience aware of what point in the story the show is in but have the main point of view from a squad of Marines
honestly that would work fairly well since fans liked the Marines from the trilogy and it would at least fit more from their perspective than random fricking Covenant human
I havn't seen it because of how horrible the reviews are but they literally just had follow the games and add some more/flesh out some characters.
>First episode starts of with a wide shot of Reach under extreme Covenant bombardment. We cut to an action packed scene with the Pillar of Autumn ready to leave and Noble Six hands of Cortana. Follows the final ending of Reach, where Six makes PoA escape and we don't know what happens to Six. >The rest of the episode shows an exhausted crew of the Pillar of Autumn in slipspace, demoralized and scared. Characters like Johnson, Keyes, Foehammer, Jenkins and some new TV show additions are given screentime fleshed out. Johnson is there to whip up the marines and boost morale. >Crew comments Master Chief in cryo and we get some flashback scenes to John being taken as a kid. >End of the first episode shows them coming out of slipspace, Master Chief getting awakened and the PoA under attack. >Next episodes literally follows Halo CE plot but added screentime to the Marines (Johnson, Jenkins, Keyes etc) setting up a FOB and exploring the facilities containing the Flood >Also allow more glimpses into the Covenant and what their purpose is, but keep it a relative mystery as they did in Halo 1 and reveal it in season 2 >Flashbacks throughout the episodes to John's training, Reach and Harvest >Show how the various marines are doing in the later missions >Last episode is the final mission of Halo, show how Johnson could have escaped >Chief hasn't removed his helmet entire season and we catch a glimpse of him doing so in the last scene
I'd make it so much worse. a few small locations, john halo never puts the suit back on, we don't see a single alien until the final episode. No military shit. Just 99% talking in a room and relationship drama.
I was gonna ask "How's he supposed to frick the blonde chick otherwise" but the image of him bare-ass naked except for the helmet, railing her is hilarious
Total reboot. 1st season was a dream.
Don't even do "it was a dream" just completely relaunch it and hope for the best, the word of mouth on this thing is so bad at this point that even if you had a season of Emmy winning performances with top of the line special effects there wouldn't be any way to convince the public to watch it.

Bungie themselves ignored the book
No they didn’t.
They absolutely did. It was THE biggest criticism against Reach when it came out.
Let’s hear it, what did they get wrong?

No, those scanners worked only locally.
People rant and rave about this book but really unless you're an autistic fan boy there's nothing for you in it.
Yeah no. I haven't played a Halo game in my entire life and I loved watching the entirety of story cutscenes from Halo Reach on youtube.
What's portrayed in the book is extremely different to the cutscenes.
the book is so much better than the game in terms of storytelling. you’re missing out if you don’t at least give it a shot.

Chief is most definitely the last surviving Spartan through the three games that actually matter before they just Ahsoka the whole fricking concept
In the games Chief is de-facto the last Spartan, but even in the Bungie EU lore there were a shitton more of them they were just stuck on the shield world with Halsey during Ghosts of Onyx

Stomp it down a drain
keep your fricking helmet on
I legit would toss the entire thing and start over.
Reboot it with ONI approved material.
But would have started by either adapting Contact Harvest, Fall of Reach or The Cole Protocol.
I’ve always dreamt of having a Halo show but more focused on the Marines, kinda like a sci-fi Generation Kill. Of course you have the Chief show up every now and then to have the audience aware of what point in the story the show is in but have the main point of view from a squad of Marines
honestly that would work fairly well since fans liked the Marines from the trilogy and it would at least fit more from their perspective than random fricking Covenant human
Dedicate the entire season to Chief and the UNSC being G R I Z Z L E D
Make a movie based on the leaked script from 2006, that shit was awesome
Make the Arbiter accurate to the games.
Make him keep HAVING SEX with John Halo.
I havn't seen it because of how horrible the reviews are but they literally just had follow the games and add some more/flesh out some characters.

>Flashbacks throughout the episodes to John's training, Reach and Harvest
>Show how the various marines are doing in the later missions
>Last episode is the final mission of Halo, show how Johnson could have escaped
>Chief hasn't removed his helmet entire season and we catch a glimpse of him doing so in the last scene
This is probably the best idea itt. They could even bring in Linda if they still wanted muh Spartan gurlpower without deviating too much from canon
I'd make it so much worse. a few small locations, john halo never puts the suit back on, we don't see a single alien until the final episode. No military shit. Just 99% talking in a room and relationship drama.
Frick halo
chief takes off his helmet
boom- Tessa Thompson
chief never takes off the helmet and has the same personality as in the games
It can't be saved. It was broken beyond repair (yet somehow got worse later) the moment we saw Chief's face. You can't put that cat back in the bag.
