So I'm watching Halo on Paramount, up to Season 2 and I've never played the game, maybe I should have to understand the plot. It's unnecessarily complex, full of side tracks, not to mention the technology contradictions. It's supposed to be the 26th Century, so how come the Covenant uses round shields, leaving gaps between them, seriously the Romans invented the Scutum, a square shield with no gaps, in the 4th Century. In the 26th Century us humans are still using projectile weapons, tracer bullets, and explosive weapons, like hand grenades, FFS. But at the same time we have invented Spartans and interstellar space craft.
I've resorted to watching it like a game that someone else is playing, trying to get any more out of it than that is a waste of brain power.
