I wonder how much this will all cost? Cause with Steven Spielberg directing, why not finally create that blockbuster movie that was suppose to happen long ago?

I think a lot of Halo fans realized the potential of a good series after FUD and MS is giving them what they want, I know that's how it went with me. I used to be all, "Gimme a movie, Gimme Blomkamp" but now Im totally down for a series and it's entirely because of FUD. Well that and maybe getting spoiled by some awesome series' like Breaking Bad, Walking Dead and the best one of all, Game of Thrones. The potential is there though because the Haloverse is great.

Then be like the James Cameron with Avatar and plan to make Avatar 2,3,4,5,6,7.... (sarcasm)

I see what you mean.  But I feel that a franchise as big as Halo should deserve a big movie on the big screen.  If Heavenly Swords and Ratchet & Clank are in the works of a movie for the big screen, then isn't Halo more deserving?

I just can't see a Halo tv series getting the glamorous special effects it deserves and that you'd see on the big screen (like the new star trek movie...which btw I loved!!!)

@ bolded, that's just it, I don't want glamourous effects. The Covenant arrival and the stalking Elite in FUD was done so well and that wasn't all balls to the wall effects. Obviously there were effects but what made that so good for me was the atmosphere of terror and ferocity the Covenant represent. Don't get me wrong, I'd be there day one to watch a movie but I think that a series allows for so much more. Just look at Game of Thrones, in two weeks we'll have 30 episodes and I feel like I NEED to see so much more. The world is so big with so many characters and moving parts, it could go on forever. But here we are with 30 hrs. of big budget movie quality, that's the equivelent of 10 looong ass feature films but with so much more story to tell. I just think that a good series is better than a good movie these days.
