How many original stories do we have today? Isn’t every movie, book, game, etc just a previously created story, rehashed?
Why?
Because there is no need to reinvent the wheel. If you can make the wheel look different, people will want it and be intrigued.
Remember when 343 Guilty Spark ommited information from us during Halo 1 so we would go retrieve the index and activate halo. Cortana had to reveal the truth the us.
Now it’s Locke’s turn. ONI has omitted information from him and Chief will reveal the truth.
HUNTtheTRUTH? It’s already been stated that Locke is “Hunting” for John, the Tru7h.
