Season 2 of Paramount Plus&#8217; video game adaptation received its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GBEgoaLZzXM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">official trailer<\/a> today and looks, dare I say, promising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Halo The Series | Season 2 Official Trailer | Paramount+\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GBEgoaLZzXM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier in December, <em>Halo <\/em>season 2 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/halo-season-2-scores-february-release-with-new-first-look\/\">got a small teaser<\/a>, which uses some of the shots in the trailer. Alongside the reveal was its release date, February 8th, and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/halo-season-1-is-free-to-stream-on-youtube-right-now\/\">YouTube release of the first season<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the YouTube description, in <em>Halo <\/em>season 2, &#8220;Master Chief John-117 leads his team of elite Spartans against the alien threat known as the Covenant. As humanity\u2019s best hope for winning the war, John-117 discovers his deep connection to a mysterious alien structure that holds the key to humankind\u2019s salvation, or its destruction \u2014 the Halo.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-hello-halo-it-s-good-to-see-you-again\">Hello Halo, it&#8217;s good to see you again<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The trailer shows a lot of action, which was a hit with original audiences. Personally, it does look more like an adaptation of the games than the first season, which I briefly watched. I did spy someone using dual pistols, a famous game mechanic introduced in <em>Halo 2<\/em>. Of course, we do see Energy Swords, a boat-ton of them, in one shot. There are some promising shots in the trailer, which gets me kind of excited to see this new season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite\u00a0<em>Halo\u00a0<\/em>receiving\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/tv\/halo\/s01\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mixed reviews<\/a>, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/halo-tv-show-first-episode-viewing-figures-paramount-bungie\/\">viewership was record-breaking for Paramount Plus<\/a>, easily prompting a season two renewal. Controversially, the show\u2019s first episode had Master Chief take his helmet off (and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/everyone-is-obsessed-with-master-chief-having-sex-paramount-show\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">he takes off more than just that<\/a>). He still looks to have his helmet off this time, but it&#8217;s not as bothersome as before, personally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Halo<\/em>&nbsp;stars Pablo Schreiber (<em>Narcos<\/em>) as Master Chief\/John-117 and Jen Taylor (<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/reviews\/review-halo-combat-evolved-anniversary\/\">Halo: Combat Evolved<\/a><\/em>) as Cortana, whom we&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/halo-tv-show-master-chief-cortana-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">got to speak to<\/a>&nbsp;before the first season&#8217;s release. The supporting cast boasts the likes of Charlie Murphy (<em>Happy Valley<\/em>), Natascha McElhone (<em>The Truman Show<\/em>), and Bokeem Woodbine (<em>Spider-Man: Homecoming<\/em>), just to name a few.
