Watch Hal Online

This particular segment from Halo Legends appears to focus on the relationship between a squad of elite Orbital Drop Shock Troopers and the even more elite Spartan soldier that’s paired up with them. Once the action picks up — contrary to what you probably expect from the Halo franchise at this point — there isn’t really a lot of gunplay; in fact, there are way more punches thrown than bullets fired. Sure, the games are all about shooting at brightly-colored aliens, but what Halo fan wouldn’t want to see a Spartan take on a towering Brute in hand-to-hand combat?

The near-future romance follows a girl named Kurumi who lost Hal, a boy she liked, in an accident. A robot Robo Hal turns into her substitute for Hal.
