And i have no idea if it is even in English on Sky. I don’t want to watch it in German, still scared of Elton 
Has anyone here from Germany watched it and can share some impressions?
I don’t disagree but just want to say I’m not part of that part of the community 
Had to stop visiting r/Halo and certain Halo groups on social media.

Not the show but this is what I think they are going for in terms of superhuman movement for the Spartans.
It’s not Xbox. It’s CBS/Viacom. They’re the ones not offering their content on other services like ‘microsoft video on demand’.

My dad who knows nothing about Halo other than it’s a game he saw me play, watched the Halo ad trailers and asked me if I knew about it and he said it looks cool. Well he watched it and thought it was really good and loved everything about it and thought it looked amazing, as someone who doesn’t really know what Halo is and doesn’t play games.
Going into it I thought it was gonna be interesting what he thinks as a noob that won’t know that chief never takes his helmet off and its not the “right” voice and so on. It’s going to be very interesting to see how people like that just your average joe likes it.

Get your questions in for the podcast in 2 hours if you have any! (not here, at the linked post)
Exceeded expectations and has potential. Really loved the opening segment.

There were some shoddy effects here and there, but overall I liked it. Didn’t mind the slight deviations from Halo canon (Article 72) and actually think it could open up interesting possibilities for the series. Also gotta love Chief’s ‘Shpeshal’ face reveal. John really is one handsome dude.
In all seriousness though, unless it falls off a cliff after Episode 1, I’m likely in it for the long haul.

I just did the same the very first time you see the HUD, and I like the BIOS version in the upper left:
Overall my thoughts on it are similar to many others: yes, there are a few minor quibbles with some of the CGI, but overall I found it very engaging and entertaining, and unless it falls off a cliff I’m in it for the duration.

Got around to watching the first episode a second time today.
I still can’t believe how graphically brutal this was. Did not expect that at all. The blood. The dismemberments. A room full of children getting masacred. Holy fucking hell.
I understand they went with an alternate story for the show but my wife and I really digged it. Can’t wait to watch more.
Oh and that was Cortana Halsey had in a pod correct?

It’s a clone of Halsey, Cortana was created by Halsey by cloning her brain and then putting it through the process of making a smart AI, which uses human brains to create them.
I’ve watched the first episode and enjoyed it. Looking forward to watching the rest of the season.
But one thing that has me wondering is why some have said the first person segments are “cringe” or “embarrassing” in the first episode? I’ve seen this view in Robocop and Terminator movies back in the day. No one complained about that back then. Anyways, I didn’t mind it.

In some cases I think it’s as shallow as some people are just always looking for a reason to use that stupid word

Yes yes. I figured it was part of the Cortana “Project”.
Also on a side note has anyone else seen that 20 min Declassified episode? Pablo Schreiber says one of his favorite episodes is episode 6 because how it furrher humanizes Master Chief.
Can’t wait to see more of this.
Just watched it and really enjoyed the first episode. The start is unfortunately really cheap but as soon as you get past the intro it gets really good and interesting. I like the story set up and am curious to know what comes next. The face reveal was good as well and made sense in the moment. I also really like how Pablo Schreiber looks in the armor and would be totally fine if his face was canon.
Also the moment the Halo theme playes was awesome.
Pleasantly surprised!
Considering Steve Downes is 72 now, I’ll be curious to see if the next time Master Chief is voiced in a new game, they’ll use Pablo Schreiber instead of Downes.
I assume they’ll continue to use Downes for any story expansions to Infinite, but I can see them switching to Schreiber for everything else sooner rather than later. At some point in the not too distant future they won’t be able to go with Downes any more.

A good Swedish expression is “Skämskudde”. Shame pillow or pillow of embarrassment.
When you are watching something and it is so “cringe” you have to grab a pillow from the couch and put in front of your face. Sadly, a lot of people use “cringe” here too nowadays though. English words and expressions are mixed into the language a lot, I do it too.
With that said, I had no reason to bring out the shame pillow during the episode!
