| I liked the CGI and the Star Wars-esque action but the story was barely there, the script awful (the Elite shipmaster was talking nonsense) and the voice acting mediocre (lack of Steve Downes saddens me also). Again liberties were taken with the canon and once more there was a feeling that the stuff happening didn't really fit into the Halo universe (The UNSC ships cloak, booster frames, the fact that a small group of small single occupant fighters (if you can call them that) somehow manage to fight off an entire covenant fleet, the overweight spartan, spartans dropping like flies, etc). The next part should have more good action though so I'm looking forward to the visuals and preparing to cringe at pretty much every other aspect. |

| Meh, D: youtube Q sucks. Didn't enjoy that much~ |

| The plot wasn't as good as ep.2, but the story was told better and the visuals were top notch. If they couldn't have gotten Steve Downes, they should have just said it was a different Spartan.

| Interestingly this segment is written by Dai Saito so you would think the writing would be stronger. But it could just be that this is an action episode and not intended to be heavy on the story. |

| They took a lot from the canon material in this, Kelly, Fred, Halsey, which i have to say i liked. The "spartans dropping like flies" bit is actually somewhat true. Considering the total amount that survived reach, its about right. My opinion, very nice i will say, yes the story was a tad weak, but it was done well enough. The hud shown was good, but i didn't see the call signs for the other blue team members on johns, which should've been included, specially on an op like that. But thats minor details, so it doesn't matter as much, hah. |
| I dont know what they are doing with this serie, Because they change the way they are doing it in every episode. But the episode itself was amusing |
!Damn, im HOT today! :D! |

But the episode itself was amusing At the risk of being redundant they're telling a collection of individual stories and giving the directors the chance to express it visually in their own style. |

| great animation, and we got to see the master chief, yes! |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| I think because I don't play the video games, I'm missing out on a lot of backstory but, meh w/e I don't care enough. I don't get it; I didn't see Master chief's face. :/ At the end it pans out of view as he takes off his helmet... From my pov, I thought it was pretty average and very non-original plot. It was still fun too watch though. lol irony. |

| I think this was my favorite after Prototype. The CGI was quite good and there was a lot of action, although on the cost of a good story. It was cool how they integrated some first person scenes - reminded me of the Doom movie. |
 |
| Awesome episode , lots of action, great plot , great graphics The only thing i was disappointed about was that clearly some rip offs from star wars like the escape pods & some of the Hunter ships looked like CIS command ships from Starwars but overall i don't care even-though i love starwars Also i would have quite liked to have seen the Hunter and Spartain dish it out at the end , ohwell anyway overall 10/10 episode So happy theirs an anime out their which you don't have to read subs for >_< and primary language is English |
 |
| Wow this was so good. It really felt like I was watching the story segments of a video game. CG was quite good. English dub was better. After my last encounter with animatrix episode 1, this is the second "anime" that made me say that. Really enjoyable. |
 |
| This okay, I had more hopes for the one actually featuring Master chief heavily , but whatever. |
| This was very disappointing considering it was Production I.G. who made this episode. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| The Duel Arbiter is a one man army eh sad that he and his wife died and damn this visual style is kinda hard to see though |
| The Duel this time. Fal is a force of nature to be able to carve through an entire Covenant army (including three abnormally towering Hunters) like that. Or maybe they're just really incompetent, who knows. It did feel like I was watching it through an old wavy cylinder glass window though, lol. Not a conventional artstyle by any means. |
