About me: I am a vicious wolf of a man.
But really am sweet at heart. =)
Acting in the end scene on the Pelican was awkward as heck.
And them calling John "Master Chief" was pointless and broke canon again, as at this point every Spartan was a Petty Officer 2nd Class, I can see him being Chief Petty Officer, hence them calling him "Chief", but going from E-5 to E-9 in less than a year is just silly on 343's part.
We can gather that the guy wearing Master Chief's armor, with Master Chief's number on it, talking like Master Chief, and using Master Chief's weapons, is Master Chief, or eventually will be. Calling him that before he's actually earned it is silly, and breaks the hearts of loretards like me.
Why not just have him say "Just call me John?"
That and yeah, the cadet armor looked freaking dumb. I could understand a bit of artistic liberty, or accept the idea that CAMS uses a special armor for training, but during the episode we see actual MARINES wearing Halo 3 style BDUs. And if the CAMS students are wearing training armor, yet have access to real weapons, why would they not put on actual Marine armor to y'know, save them from Needler shards?
Incidentally, that death was BS, the needle would have heated up and sealed the wound, and if they'd just left the damn shard in she would have lived. On a semi-related note, that biofoam looked like cream cheese.
I'd give it a 7/10. Decent acting. Decent premise, neither of the actors looks like Lasky from the game, so that failed terribly, but oh well.
