I do not know much of the mythology of the games. I played them when I was 12 but always fast forward through the cutscenes so never got the whole story. But a lot of the die hards are not big fans of it since they are altering the lore of the games.
Basically the show is a new take on the story of the games.

comparing some other series as of late that they've altered a good bit (Witcher, WoT) the alterations weren't THAT BAD, but i was a bit disappointed in the last 40 minutes and political posturing instead of action. i get that there's such thing as a budget, but Halo is a series where you kill aliens, plain and simple. You don't have to pretend the Master Chief and the UNSC were always altruistic, but they spent way too much time trying to muddy those waters.
