Im not gonna say I was a big gamer of Halo since always had Play Station. I remember the very first 2 games watching my friend play, liking the story of those games. Not a reader of the books. Hence, I can only say I skipped this series due to negative reviews but now watching it I can say I like it. It has descent plot and characters. I like Master Chief and how he wants to "feel"and sends himself on a mission/quest like a good book. Sure the AI girl was a bit cheeze but its like out of a 2000s game and where the doctor's creation and control gets lost and attached to MC. I can't say more since not a die hard game or book fan but I like this series. Looking forward to S2 with more arcs and action.
