I'm not the biggest fan of some of the actors either. Especially the hacker kid, the 'I have an important mommy' kid and the black girl that's the leader of their squad aren't that great in my opinion. Overall I think the acting holds up pretty well, though. I expected a lot more cringe-worthy stuff but I'm pleasantly surprised so far by the quality of the series.

I feel like they chose such young naive kids just so their average target audience could relate to it, haha. The thing is, even young kids like adult protagonists, so I think they should've gone a more mature route for sure.
 
Wow. That was a fantastic episode. They did really well with the reveal of the Covies as a scary and alien threat.

A movie would be ideal, if the right people were involved of course. But that seems like long ways off.

These "episodes" really take their time to flesh out the characters like good TV normally does and honestly, right now, i kinda prefer this direction to a movie. Plus you could have a whole bunch of Hollywood talent on it from time to time, acting, directing, etc... You can do a lot more with 20 episodes a year than you can a 2 hour movie once every 3 years.

Plus, you can have MC and Cortana cameos, and the rest the time focus on characters like ODST or the guys in these videos.

Honestly, it seems like a guaranteed home run compared to the movie. I don't see why or how this hasn't happened yet. It seems pretty obvious to me. Think of the newer Battlestar Galactica series, but Halo.
 
Damn, that shit was well made. Fucking hyped and now I want a real series or movie. Glad I got my LE paid off, this shit is choice. Great job 343!!!
 
Whoa this series is getting really good. Cant wait for the next episode! Also this kinda shows that TV show would work.. since they seem to not be able to get a movie off the ground.
 
Letter is back to his old Halo 3 avatar. That's how you know the hype is strong.

This fucking episode. I got chills.

The tension of what's to come. The bodies. Goodness.
 
wow. holy fucking shit. what an excellent episode. great great build up until the end. i had chills man

they did a great job of making the covenant look scary as fuck. would be a great horror game too if done right

just damn. wow. cant wait for next week!
 
I feel like they should have used this brutality in the Campaign for Reach the story would be better, never really felt like you were in danger in Reach.

I always wanted a game that feels like the ODST live action trailer, and now this.
Or a movie, it could work.

Okay now I want that too, lol. UNSC soldier during the invasion seems pretty scary.
I am glad that Halo 4 seems to bring this elements more to the game now. I hope...

ODST gave a great taste of that. i remember some parts where im just running and running from the brutes because i couldnt do shit to them. when youre chief, you can take care of a bunch of them like nothing, but imagine being just a regular marine or even one of these cadets. truly frightening!
 
I'm really enjoying this series.
Cortana's intro's give me chills, some phenomenal audio work going on there. Loved the ODST part. Great job 343.
Hope there's a lot more episodes to come.
 
That ending was so tragic, terrifying, exciting, and chilling. Damn.

Fuck your couch moment.

Holy shit, that's the fucking point. I swear the simplest shit is lost on some people. They are angst-filled, self-entitled teenagers in the UNSC Officer's Academy. The kids of Generals, diplomats, and admirals. The fucking point of them being all angsty in episode one is so they have something to grow into in Episode 6, and so you respect the man he becomes in Halo 4.

Christ.

No need to throw a tizzy fit because I didn't enjoy it. How the hell am I supposed to know what is going to happen in Episode 6 when I don't know anything about this show besides what I saw? Jeez.

Right, I'm saying that he doesn't like the the fact that angsty teens are in his Halo. he doesn't like the whole concept around it. He's not (necessarily) saying that it's bad for what it is.

Thank you, at least someone understood what I was getting at.

Oh, the
chick who forced her way into the wagon just before the attack? I was seriously expecting the wagon to drive off 50 feet and then, through the window, the cadets see it get destroyed by a missile strike.

Everyone was expecting that.
 
This episode was considerably better than the last, and I don't just say that because of the action. The actual sub-plot with the main character actually went somewhere and the teen angst was reduced. But...
Dat action!
Once those ODST pods started dropping everything was turned up to 11/10.

It get's better trust me. Hell you can prob watch ep 3 which is great on it's own and just enjoy that.

I took your advice and watched the next two episodes. That was pretty damn good, I'll admit. The first episode turned me off because it just seemed like Halo 90210, but the rest of it was great.
 
Damn, this was a good episode. Sucks that there are only two episodes left though, I really feel like it has only just begun! But yeah, this series is far exceeding my expectations and I am seriously loving it. This episode makes up for the disappointing Fincher trailer.

Effect said:
I really hope they explain Mehaffey's concern for Lasky. Is it just a teacher worried about her student? It's almost motherly in a way. Possibly related in some way but it's being hidden? Can't all be just because of who his mother is can it?

Good episode as well. They keep this up I'm likely to buy the game with the hope there is Xbox Live Gold trial card.

I think it has to do with her serving under his mother, she probably feels an extra connection due to that.

As far as I'm concerned destroying the god awful statue is a covenant peace offering.

I know, holy shit that was insane. Needs a gif.

Dimah potential death??

I know. Blah. I liked
her character, and she was one of the good actors at that. She was probably one of those falling screaming bodies. =(

Alot of you jump to conclusions really quickly that is why he got upset. Not everything has to be instant gratification (looks at CoD). Somethings you need to watch and see it build up over time.
 
This is why you start off slow, and give scenes space to breathe.

Because then when you bring it, you can really bring it. I'm loving this.
 
Thought part 3 was great was definitely left wanting to see the next one at the end

Im tempted to get the limited edition of the game to get the full thing uncut and making of etc
