How can Spartan Locke be a better character?

As much as i hope not but theres always a possibility that spartan locke will come back. Lets give 343i some tips on how to make locke a better character. He is one of the worst characters in Halo 5, so how can he be improved?
EDIT: He is a bad and bland character IN HALO 5. I admit he is a bit better in Nightfall. Also, if you like Locke thats fine, this is mainly for the people who dont like him.

Same way people came to like the Arbiter: time.

Make him badass.

Show more of his motives, his past, and have him do some memorable fun stuff. Yknow what always works, have him crash a banshee. Worked before

Like take down Jul M’dama with just a knife, rescue the Arbiter, and crack Master -Yoinkin’- Chief’s visor with a backhand -Yoink!- slap?

He also played soccer with Buck? What the hell more do you guys want? Everyone hated the Arbiter in Halo 2 at first too, you know. lol

Well ya but he isnt a lovable character like arby or buck. He lacks the qualitys. Sure he did some impressive stuff but his character stays the same.

that was pretty much chief until 4 though. i’d probably argue till 3 cause of that part where he rescues cortana always makes me cry, but opinions are a thing apparently.

What part of “Everyone hated the Arbiter in Halo 2 at first too” didn’t you get? People don’t like new characters. Change is weird. We don’t like it. They take time to grow on us. There wasn’t anything particularly lovable about Arbiter in Halo 2 … just “wait, where’s Chief and why am I an alien now? wtf?”

Now sure, Arbiter and Buck are Keith David and Nathan Fillion respectively, so you can’t help but love them. But there isn’t anything wrong with Locke. He’s got more character and dialog in his one game than Chief did in CE, H2, and H3 combined. Hell, you know how many lines of dialogue Chief spoke to the Arbiter in Halo 3? Who he spent half the game with? One word. One word the entire game. He said “worse” in response to Arbiter saying “what is it, more Brutes?” At least Locke engaged the Sangheili in conversation.

Tanaka splattered a Banshee in the opening cutscene. Didn’t know that was possible, but she smashed right through it. Does that count? lol

That is a wonderful and constructive point. I think it’s fantastic you made this thread so we could thoroughly and objectively discuss this topic. So glad I bothered to be the only person to contribute more than a paragraph here like a -yoink-. trololololol.

See what I mean?

By allowing players to use their OWN unlocked armors, like SPARTAN-B312, in Halo Reach. Sure he has “canon” armor, but when YOU play Reach, it’s what ever armor suits your fancy. Chief should always be Chief.

You really want Locke to look like this? :stuck_out_tongue:

Agreed

Locke has good characteristics, 343i just needs to do a better job of bringing them to the surface. He was only a soldier in Halo 5, the story rarely got personal with him. Fireteam Osiris deserves a spinoff game, where they don’t play the majority role in a conflict that is not their fight.
