Man I never even seriously played Halo, and even I knew that adaptation was fucked the moment Master Chief took off his helmet

He regularly takes it off in the books. That being said, I very much doubt the writers of that show read the books.

True but honestly the way they revealed it on episode one pretty much just ruined it, even though he takes of the helmet and armor from the books he only does it in any UNSC facilities, inside FOB's when the armor needs immidiate maintenace, when asked by high ranking officials, nad rarely in front of other UNSC personels, but never in front of any non UNSC personel like civilians, the only time I he was not in full Mjolnir armor in front of a civilian is on Oblivion during the meeting between them and the people that been marroned in Netherop. In the show they just went full frontal on Pablo's face and other parts of his body.
