So far, I'm enjoying it.
One of the problems I have is John's Mark IV armor, seriously, it's just plain weird. So we have this awesome armor design, next time we can upgrade it, let's dumb it down (Mark V), and if we happen to upgrade the armor again, let's recycle the old design (Mark VI), and we might as well just add their respective number in the armor, just because we can. I didn't mind it so much back in "The Package", but now it just happens to be canon. Then what happened to Halsey? Awww... -blam!- it, a wizard did it. And yes, I'm just nitpicking, this won't ruin the series for me, that's for sure.
Overall, I feel the main leads are likeable, though I can't say the same of the secondary characters, except for Frankie, made me laugh when he appeared.
I think after Halo:Reach both Bungie and 343i just agreed to let it be that what determined the grade of MJOLNIR armor was simply the internal components and not at all what the external bits looked like.
For example the rest of Blue team in Forward Unto Dawn are sporting what we aesthetically recognize as the [B] variant of Mk V armor introduced in Reach as seen here
While likely a budget issue, it could canonically be argued that so long as the armor system shown here didn't have the range of suites available to the Mk V armors, chief among them being energy shields, it is still a variant of Mk IV armor.
