Halo Season 2's Locations Were A Major Highlight

The Covenant Corvette Was One Of Many Stunning Settings

After a somewhat divisive season 1, Halo season 2 expands the world of the show in some exciting ways. Reach City, for example, which was featured in season 1, is explored with greater depth in season 2, and it serves as the setting for one of the show's most action-packed episodes. Season 2 also introduces several new locations, including Sanctuary, the moody planet featured in the premiere episode, and Aleria, a mining planet where Master Chief and his companions take refuge after the Fall of Reach.

The unique locations of the video game franchise are a major reason why it's so beloved, and season 2 of the Paramount show really delivers on this front.

Halo season 2's locations are one way in which the show's sophomore outing was more like the games. In Halo: Combat Evolved, multiple levels are spent fighting through the corridors of a Covenant ship, and the series largely recreates this feeling. Halo season 2 also finally sees Master Chief land on the Halo ring itself, which is instantly familiar with its coniferous trees, mountains, and general lush greenery.

It's currently unclear if Halo season 3 will be moving forward, but season 2 certainly sets up a further expansion of the world and opens the door for more elements of the games to be incorporated. The unique locations of the video game franchise are a major reason why it's so beloved, and season 2 of the Paramount show really delivers on this front. If another season does happen, the featurette above suggests that a great deal of attention will be paid to bringing iconic Halo locations to life on the small screen.
