To be fair the Halo books and Forward Unto Dawn movie were (overall) pretty good and not just constant shooting.
That said it was just sad and embarrassing that MS's Halo announcement for their big console reveal was...for a Halo TV series. On top of that they didn't even show anything from it, just that they paid Spielberg enough cash to get him to attach his name to it. Whooopdee-shit.
Oh and Mr. Spielberg, you are not a gamer! You're not fooling anyone or going to look cool with the kids because you played Pong once.

In the process of upgrading Cortana's RAM from 512Mb to 8Gb, MC&friends find out that Cortana is based on MC's memories of his mom, and that makes things a biiiiiiiit uncomfortable for everyone involved (including enemies)
*GASP!* *audible shock!*Andy Shandy said:
OP: Next week, on Halo... The Flood returns, and Chief shoots at them!
"Chief, get outta there before you get consumed like you didn't every other time I thought you would but might this time because TENSION!"
It's not just the books, there's so much extended cannon to work with. Having said that a show about master chief would be dull and ill-advised.
indeed i'm having a bit of deja vu hereOskuro said:Hmmm, that last panel reminds me of something....
Is gaming coming full circle?
(That's all the relevance I could muster out of an Xbone related topic....)

Ummm, you know whats sad? We actually know who Cortana is based on. In one of the books (Its actually a great book) we see that she is based on....blackrave said:
Dr. Catherine Elizabeth Halsey, who was a scientist on the original SPARTAN program, who got really close to John. (FYI, she is an adult when they pick John up as a child, so its not sexual).
So yeah, just thought I would put that out there to be a killjoy.
For those of us who have already cancelled their Xbox live accounts that just makes it funnier!Grey Carter said:
Oooh watcha saaaay? Oh, that you only meant weeeell, well of course you did. Oooh watcha saaaay? That it's all for the best? Well of course it is-Daystar Clarion said:
Seriously though, it depresses me when satire and the news become indistinguishable. It's like The Onion, but in comic form.
Did you not read what I said? Lattyware said that the Halo Universe was almost as good as the Mass Effect Universe and I said that that didn't sell it to me because I don't even think that Mass Effect lends itself to a TV show format.Korten12 said:
Well the whole, which is better is subjective. Imo Halo has a more indepth universe (outside the games that is), and doesn't have to deal with something (*cough*ending*cough*) that screws up everything and makes it hard to work around.canadamus_prime said:
But that isn't the point. Since you haven't seen FuD, which shows a Halo show can work, and yet haven't seen it and then still said your not sold on it is just weird. It's not a matter of which universe is better, it's just that Halo has already shown it does work in live action. More so then Mass Effect since in Halo a lot of the Human side of things don't require much CGI outside the more spacey stuff.
... I would probably watch it, tbh.
Just because I'm a huge Halo fanatic.
... Even though I hated Halo 4.

Regardless, quality of Universe aside, I still don't think either lends itself to a TV format. However the FuD could prove me wrong.Korten12 said:
I won't say that a show set in the Halo universe can't be really good, you can make anything good if you know what you're doing. But I do think in order for it to be even half decent it would need to be extremely far removed from the Halo games, in which case what's the point?
Ok, it's been a while since I played Halo so I need this answered: What is with the blue clouds of dust coming off the aliens? Did that always happen?
