Look Iv played the games , and yes it has a lot of the game but you also gotta realize it's a TV series instead of the run gun alien and flood shooter, it has to have dialogue and emotion in it . Saying that to say this ,the series isn't the halo you played while it does have a lot of the game in it. It's not like the game but it is a great series with a lot of suspense and action . It has conflicting romances and great graphics. The ppl saying it has budget graphics obviously don't know the difference between a TV show and a single movie these are 55 min episodes and its def worth watching if your not going to be upset it doesn't follow the game step by step . I am def ready for season three if the fan boys don't get it canceled cause of nostalgia
