I just... I know it gets said about every adaptation ever and often times fans of games/comics/books/whatevs whine too much about little changes here or there but this is just so different in so many ways it's basically only Halo so it can rake in the name recognition bucks.
The Halos don't win wars... I mean I suppose they can... but not in a great way. Master Chief wasn't a rogue element that needed supervision, he was a soldier that did as he was told (until 5 maybe I dunno) and did it well. Cortana was an AI assistant not Master Chief's keeper.
I don't mind the human lady with the covenant (it's off but I kinda like the idea of the covenant having their reclaimer). And I assume Master Chief isn't Steve Downes so they can take off his helmet at some point, which I think is antithetical to his coolness but whatever.
I do think it mostly looks nice but it's just so different. I'd have liked to see the games adapted but I don't think that'll ever happen now. If this is good they'll just want more of this storyline, if it's bad they'll just say Halo doesn't make for good adaptation.
