Well time for the second part of this review, as it has now been released. I skip the first seven minutes AS THEY MAKE YOU WATCH THE FIRST PART ALL OVER AGAIN. Beware of Spoilers ahead.
Righto, let's do this thing.

- At this stage, I like the fighting sequences, but it is noteworthy that all Covenant blood is green for some reason. Guess they never had the joy of beating down Covenant corpses and splattering cyan or indigo blood everywhere.

- Again, the fighting sequence was enjoyable to watch, but the mistakes made were pretty obvious.

- If this is occurring around 2552, then she should definitely be showing signs of her age. If it were much earlier, it would make sense.

- I definitely felt that the quotes were out of place, especially the first and last ones.

The Arbiter gets sucked up into the leaving ship, leaving John and Halsey in the detached part of the ship, and he says ‘Commander you fool! I had him! A THOUSAND HELLS AWAIT YOU!!!!!!’ (Not quite ‘And so you must be silenced’ is it?)
- Spoiler:
- I got the distinct impression that the Commander was leaving the Major behind, based on what he was saying. Then they beam him aboard and I'm like "huh?"

- Well, to be fair, the Prowlers are supposed to be equipped with some kind of Pulse Lasers, per GoO, but I think that was much later in the timeline.

- You may also notice that they do a pan out as Chief takes off his helmet so that you don't get to see his face just as he removes it, just like at the end of the first game.
Vigil wrote:So overall, this is still the best one they’ve done so far, but this one is riddled with even more minor little annoyances in the canon, but nothing to crippling that we saw last time. It was the closest they ever come to getting close to the books and I’ll give them credit for that. But still, we’ve got a few to get through and it looks like they let the worse till last.
I disagree. I still think The Babysitter was the best, so far. It has some issues, but none on the scale or in the numbers as The Package. This newest one was a good watch, but the issues were glaring and would have been really easy to fix if they'd given two flying fucks about Halo canon.

No. But it would be wrong to say that you won't actively try to forget it exists.

I wouldn't go that far. It has few(many I should say) errors, but I still find the series, as a whole, enjoyable to watch. I just don't take it seriously anymore. Much like Star Wars. I just enjoy it for what it is.

I couldn't enjoy The Duel at all. The other two I enjoyed watching, canon errors aside.

The Duel was...Hard on the eyes and a bit stupid yes. The other two were very enjoyable to watch(at least, to me anyway), and I didn't mind the canon errors(as they weren't too over whelming). I'll just say it's nothing more than fan service. And I, a fan, liked it.
