As a fan of the games, I was hurt coz of non canon approach around chief & his ways. But as a fan of sci-fi stories I was impressed, really. The showrunners did a great job by using the universe & mix-blend the story that could really comfort viewers. I loved how chief was more than just a mjolnir special soldier (gaming side fan was saddened to see him without armour let alone helmet), gave his relationship with his team & the team's character good depth. Made him feel human, he made errors in fights. Slightly disappointed that there were very lesser fights, even for a sci-fi styled inter galactic fight series.
