AnimalDenWinter Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 For me Forward onto dawn isn't entertaining because there's simply not enough action in the episodes. Plus, episode 6 hasn't came out for ages, if they came out more quickly i'll probaly like it more. 1 really annoying thing that was talked about too much in the first episode, Corbula station people were always talking about how Cesus won a war with less men than the enemy. I honestly don't think it works with halo. Please leave feedback to tell me what you think of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harbinger Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 I liked Forward Unto Dawn because of the talking. It made it seem really realistic then when the fighting came it was so much more amazing. And as Dan and Caboose said there will not be a 6th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximum Clutch Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 I really liked it. Plus with the extended edition from the LE, it gets tied together like a movie instead of 5 episodes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearClawsKiller Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Well I thought it was pretty good. And dude, theres not gonna be a sixth episode. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-38 Boss Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 I think you're rather alone on that one. I enjoyed the series, and I don't think an overt focus on action would have been better. They were trying to establish Laskey as a character, and show what training academies are like. Save the action for the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mkoll Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Well I thought it was pretty good. And dude, theres not gonna be a sixth episode. Holy crap, no mention of bananas! Anway, I thought it was pretty good, production value was sick as hell for a web series. Acting wasn't exactly top-of-the-line but it was solid all around, especially during the climax, they were doing better than most of the **** you see on network TV nowadays. Action was light because it's expensive to do action, but what they did was pretty badass. As to the sixth episode, I thought it was pretty clear that 5 was the end, didn't you? It was a satisfactory wrap up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
тυcкєя Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 How can you say Forward Onto Dawn Is bad? Halo has never done such a thing like this. So I think It Is best to just enjoy what 343industries has done for us. Honestly, I dont think Bungie would have done anything like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnimeAddict Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Yea and as far as the action goes was chief "sticking" it to that hunter not enough as well as the assassination on the elite in the weapon locker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Is not JL Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 It's not about action but about character. A story all about punching isn't a story. There's character development, and that's what makes every movie great, especially video game based ones, whether it's machinima, or animated, or live action. People weren't looking to see Chief murder tens of thousands of covenant. Thats what you do in the game. People were looking forward to see what would happen next at Corbulo Military Science Academy, to seeing Chief through the eyes of a recruit, and seeing how Chief influences the recruit from being a guy who wanted to quit out and use his medical issue as an excuse, or as a recruit who would be inspired to become a true hero. And wasn't it awesome, seeing Thomas Lasky as a dork to seeing him in Halo 4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axilus Prime Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 always talking about how Cesus won a war with less men than the enemy. I honestly don't think it works with halo. http://www.majhost.com/gallery/TNG/Photoshops/chieflol.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconShelf Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 It wasn't based about halo multiplayer. And the UNSC was known to win battles where they were largely outnumbered due to superior tactics rather than throwing men at the enemy. Same for multiplayer. A four man team with assault rifles can take out eight with DMRs if they use good coordination and teamwork. Oh, and you won't like the books. Lots of talking there. Not as much action there either. Anyway, it is there for us that care about lore. Not those who (solely) focus on multiplayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
тυcкєя Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Not enough action? Holy crap dude are you blind? There was a lot of action in Forward Unto Dawn, maybe you just need to look again mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnimeAddict Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 lol Tucker is right there really is a good story there as well as action try rewatching all of them at once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinx Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 You have no excuse to dislike this movie! In every halo it is NOT always just fighting and action. You have to know what's going on and what's happening, a story that's just action isn't that great. Like Cortana says in Halo 4 Campaign Mission Reclaimer "I don't know about you, but I like a little intel with my intel." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't think it works with halo. Please leave feedback to tell me what you think of this. Well, here's the thing: They were trying to make it different from the Halo games. They didn't want to make a feature film based around the Master Chief killing Covenant, because when watching it (at least for me) it would only make people wish they were playing the games instead. I found it entertaining because it goes into the story of the cadets, and the marines whereas in the other games, they were pushed to the sides. They didn't want to make action scenes, they wanted to tell a story about a squad of cadets. I haven't watched it in a while, but I think they were talking about how Cesus won a war with less men, just to show the cadets that higher numbers does not always mean victory. "I honestly don't think it works with Halo" Again, they were trying to do something different, and it worked quite well. Also, I don't think they will ever make a 6th episode. Forward unto Dawn was mostly a build-up for Halo 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Orbis Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 You have to admit, it didn't seem all too great, but you were expecting more Master Chief/Spartan action, right? Well, first of all, if you were expecting something in particular from it, why didn't you just read the description? It says about how a young cadet did bla bla, etc. And that's what happened. So why come complain, if there isn't a big deal. Most people probably do like it, and just because I don't agree, doesn't mean I don't respect your opinion.

ReturnOfTheButcher Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 I thought it was pretty impressive considering it was a promotional short for a video game. I mean ok it was a bit like starship troopers without the irony a lot of the time, but they did great considering the budget probably wasnt all that. I thought the young actors were all good. Hopefully it demonstrates that halo could be a good movie or tv series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
