Trivia:

If a character in Halo is idle for a period of time, the hands on-screen fiddle with the gun the character is holding. Because of the requirement of keeping the "cameraman" character moving to avoid this, the producers considered adding the Camera Man character as an actual character. This was dropped when producers realized that adding black bars to the top and bottom was more acceptable.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: In episode 39, the scene at Battle Creek where the Red Zealot was holding the blue flag before he was mobbed by the Blues. Just as the Red Zealot was being mobbed, you can see his name appear on the top-center for a split second: "Hambone".

Quotes:

Church: Private Mickey was the first to go. He was half across the base when he started screaming bloody murder.
Pvt. Mickey: Bloody murder!
[shouts]
Pvt. Mickey: Bloody murder!

You need to watch this

There is no reason not to watch this show. If you love halo, you'll laugh your ass off, if not, you'll probably laugh your ass off anyways. It's just that funny. The characters are great, and the series is surprisingly long for a web-based show. There are 2 teams in a box canyon, they are fighting each other... well fighting isn't exactly the word for it. They are more in the habit of doing whatever they can to make the other teams lives worse. Throughout the series, new characters are added and an incredibly deep plot is uncovered. All together it's something you can watch again and again and never be disappointed. If you can find something not to like about this show than you don't belong near a computer or out in public.
