So far I'm liking it a lot more than season 1, I think a good middle ground is he doesn't take off his helmet while on a mission.
They should consider killing off Kwan though, let the covenant glass the shit where she is and say she died a hero and move on.

Can You Imagine What SureAI Is Going To Do With Garfield?
You mean for shame to the developers and Microsoft, right? With how poorly they handled the franchise its amazing it even exist in any form right now.
Yes, exactly. All this great lore and building up and it's going to be all for nothing because they can't make a game to interest people anymore. It really sucks.
 
Season 2 is pretty good. But of course they 'steal' his suit when the big fight happens. Any stupid excuse to not wear the armor... pisses me off. I think shief has worn his suit for about 20% of the whole show now?

You can clearly see how much interest has waned after season 2. Only 11 responses here. I dropped out of season 1 after 4 episodes. And it looks like most people did the same.
