What I like is that rather then re-tell the story of the Spartan II's beginnings, in which they'd have to have an actor play John, they've gone for the 'human angle' and are telling a story from the soldier's perspective. The Spartans, despite still being people, are difficult to associate with as a viewer due to their helmet, secret sign language and use of the suits communication functions (which often amounts to simple beeps). That would make for a weak and unengaging story.
Not too hot on the actor playing Chief but you can't have it all and it's mostly his voice that I am in disagreement with. They've got his height and size across well, although his '117' marking on the suit appears to have been done so he would be recognised as in the story they don't have their project numbers on show, only the Spartan III's did so due to their accelerated training and other factors.
Now I'm just nit picking so to sum up; Awesome! Want more! 5.10.12, not too long to go.
