So I entered this episode as a Halo fan from games 1, 2 and 3. All I wanted to see at first really was the battles between UNSC and the covenant and was not expecting the story to be that good due to many failures from various TV shows lately. What happened though was the opposite to what I expected, while the action at the beginning of the episode was good and there were so many easter eggs thrown in from the game, it turned out.. ehh good, but not impressive.
It wasn't as I got through the episode that the way it was directed and the way the story was told was really pulling me in, and it was really building the tension up in all the right ways to the end of the episode. By the end of this episode, I was hooked, hyped and wanted more.
Everything about this show is excellent, CGI, costume design, world design and how the details of the guns, ships and armor feel like they are from the game. The story is good and the feels are right. The only two criticisms is that the CGI movements of spartans and elites feels wrong, and the ballistics from machine guns makes it look like they were using pellet guns when bouncing of the armor. But gotta admit, the SPARTAN armor is perfect, whoever did costume designs deserves a medal.
Really enjoyed this episode and I am hyped for the next one.
