    Let's just be glad that he didn't get it on with Kwan.

    In the meantime... Responses: What we need is a show with ODSTs who- I think a good story can be told while keeping the same actors and general characters, but that's a post for another night.

    Halo Halo TV Series Thread: This isn't the Red Flag we were hoping for.

    You now how if you shoot a Hunter, its twin loses its shit and comes after you? Apparently, the two Erics were really tight. They were good friends, and they worked better with each other than Bungie. Way, way better. I'm still not certain why Nylund didn't get brought back by 343i. I think...

    The deal with him fell through after Eric Trautmann ragequit the Franchise Development Team. He's indicated his interest in returning, and 343i has indicated that they'd like to hire him when they have an opening, but it's never happened.

    That was in the very first game. For some screwy reason, that cutscene references the same grenade model that is used for pickups, not for thrown grenades. That's why the frag grenade is the size of a pineapple.

    Halo Halo TV Series Thread: This isn't the Red Flag we were hoping for.

    There's plenty of ineptitude to go around on 343i's part. And both studios seem to be pretty dysfunctional, with similar issues of leadership. I think what Bungie had going for it was raw fucking talent on the part of the guys who were running the show, and they all started as a small team in...

    Halo Halo TV Series Thread: This isn't the Red Flag we were hoping for.

    Seems a little slow, and I'm not sure it would really work well. I'd compress it down. The first two episodes sets up a conflict between the UNSC and a mixture of Insurrectionists and mercenaries, and there's hints that something is going wrong. A company commander is informed that he and the...

    I dunno. It just feels so cookie-cutter, it's like someone pulled a story out of a box of crackerjacks. Like Avatar, but without the decent special effects. Time will tell, but it just feels like a mediocre writer was handed the keys to the franchise and proceeded to hammer out a mediocre story.

    Halo Halo TV Series Thread: This isn't the Red Flag we were hoping for.

    I'm burned out on Reach. Reach was a pretty good book. But then it was adapted into a video game, and that split the fanbase so hard, you still find the occasional old-timer bitching about it. So we had a game and a book. But then there was a comic adaption of the Fall of Reach. A comic written...

    Where is the face-slapping tribble emoji? The weapons in this series are just awful. I think that plasma pistol was spray-painted a uniform color of purple, but I can't really remember. I just remember seeing it in the episode and thinking it was an ultra-low-poly 3d render.

    Get a team together. If you can find mo-cap actors and animators and people who can throw scenery together, I can help with the script and do voice acting.

    Halo Halo TV Series Thread: This isn't the Red Flag we were hoping for.

    That was a path I could have taken a few years ago. Not sure if it would have worked. I'm very interested in the implications of the Covenant faith and the fallout from the Great Schism and the loss of High Charity. At one time, I was thinking of a story set after Humanity loses an...

    Halo is ripe for stories to be told. Gimme a shot. Please. I'll write a kickass story that uses all the best elements of Halo, and it'll be canon-compliant, and I'll even go out on the Youtube Movie Critic circuit to explain why the Master Chief isn't the main character, and you'll still love it.

    Halo Halo TV Series Thread: This isn't the Red Flag we were hoping for.

    Alrighty, ladies and gentlemen. Let's talk changes and characterization. It's not just playing Halo, it's also the books. The first three books from Nylund were something else, something that I don't think could be written today. Not because it would be censored, but because I don't think...

    Halo Halo TV Series Thread: This isn't the Red Flag we were hoping for.

    Welp. The first episode landed last night. First of all, let's talk about what a Halo TV series needs. It doesn't need Spartans. It doesn't need the Master Chief and Cortana as main characters. It is perfectly possible to write a story that features the UNSC and the Insurrectionists...
