Sounds like to me we'll be spending most of our time as Locke than the Chief. I'm chill with that.

That comes as a shock to me. I would prefer equal time. I mean, all this about Chief finally being portrayed as "human." But we shouldn't make assumptions from words, I mean is he supposed to know how many levels Locke is playable as vs. Chief? Probably not.

Really what I don't want is for MS to make Guardians a game primarily about Locke so that they have an excuse to push out more games featuring Chief later. MC's story should end during the X1's life cycle. I hope...

Deep down, we all know that's what they'll do.

Chief is Microsoft's mascot, and if Nintendo is anything to go by, Chief will be around for quite a while.

Now, obviously many people will cite this as "milking", but if 343i and Microsoft continue to do meaningful and interesting things with Chief's character (and Halo in general), who am I to complain?

Good point, money is the ultimate goal from a business standpoint. We'll all just have to wait until Guardians to find out then. Or Nightfall to see how like-able of a character Locke is.

I didn't consider this possibility before, but I actually like it a lot.

We always say to fight fire, you must use fire. This is wrong. Fighting fire with fire will leave scars and a new flame will rise. We must instead use water. It is the opposite of fire, it extinguishes the fire, it cools, it refreshes, it heals. We are made up of 70% water, we are not made up of 70% fire. Please practice what we truly are
Who knows.. maybe they'll do a split perspective like it was done in Halo 2

That's what they will be doing. Locke as a playable character has been confirmed.

Or worst possible scenario- You only encounter the MC in cutscenes. lol. Definitely won't happen but I don't like how they're sidelining Chief.

Agent Locke?
You know, the guy Arby was talking to in the E3 trailer for the MCC. He's an ONI operative that becomes a Spartan IV and he's the main character of Halo Nightfall.

I thought Halo 5 was going to be bad with Chief as the protagonist. Ugh. I'm really irirtated. If they want to make a game about a new character give it a different name and not call it a sequel. At least Bungie had the balls to do it with ODST and Reach.

I can't say I'm overjoyed...

But it could be interesting nonetheless <.<
I bet people were pissy about the arbiter missions but they still turned out to be favourites.

I have seen it. I watched all of the E3 Microsoft conference live. That video explains nothing about who Agent Locke is though.

You'll learn more of him in Nightfall! Right now we just know that he's on the hunt for Master Chief.

And we know of parts of his backstory from the Halo Channel trailer [i.e. he's basically Colonist Shepard].

Most importantly - he's a colored.

To be honest, I kind of wanted Thorne to get more time, considering he was the "highlight" character of Spartan Ops, and I haven't seen jack shit for Season 2 (if it'll even exist.)

Not sure about how Agent Locke will be, but maybe he'll warm up to me.  Maybe.

Thorne's spotlight is in Escalation right now. He's been in most of the Issues.

Socially considerate =/= SJW
