Why didn’t fire team Osiris jump in and help Locke while he was fighting Master Chief? They were all just standing there for a solid minute and a half.
Is some sort of mano a mano fight more important than their primary mission objective?
So stupid.
Would you have wanted to get involved in the middle of that? MC is battle hardened soldier and he showed it in that fight. Did you not pay attention at the beginning of the campaign when locke was talking to Buck about going after MC? Buck was not really keen on the idea from the get go. Nobody wanted to confront Blue team. They were only following orders. At least that is what i got out of it. I loved the way it played out. Locke got humbled. End of story.
Because science?
they didnt jump in cause then it would have turned into a 4v4 fight that could have ended in causalities. do you really think they could have really done anything?
At first they make it seem like they are too far away to do anything, but then at the end they just hop right on down, so I don’t know. All I know is that it was a heavy weight fight for sure.
I thought it was because they were on a different platform too far away to engage in the fight without the use of firearms. Which is something they didnt want to use, only trying to bring MC back, not kill him.
Once Locke gets the armor restraint stuck to him from MC and MC jumps through the teleporter thingy, you can see the rest of Osiris team’s platform hover over close enough to jump to Locke and free him from the restraint.
At least that was my interpretation of that scene.
In a fight like that they couldn’t do anything for reasons like if that they couldn’t shoot at chief to help locke because they might hit the wrong person, and if you get into fight and it gets heated you keep it one on one to reduce the chance of getting in the other persons way or accidentally hitting the wrong person.

The rest of Blue Team had already gone through the portal. MC was the only one left at that time.
True.
The platform Orisis was on was not too far away, they could have leaped across and boosted if they needed to. The writer for that scene just wanted to make it dramatic by having Osiris have an attack of the stupid at that second.

I can see how this would work, had they all jumped in the chief may have seen the need for lethal force, and seeing that he has taken the covenant, flood, and prometheans on practically by himself, what are a few Spartan IVs.

No they didn’t want to jump in because Locke got spanked like a little boy…who wants to share in that?
Because master chief is a badass haha
They saw their buddy getting his -Yoink- kicked and decided not to get some too!
Although it doesn’t make sense from a story-telling standpoint, having Vale fight him probably would have been the best choice. Everytime we see her in cqc she’s always using her enemies weight and momentum against them which would have been perfect against Chief.
Trying to have a cool fight was more important than having good writing, key word trying.

And quiet didn’t achieve it. Tbh. It feels like this is the most embarrassing scene i saw for a long time. Nothing feels more akward than trying toake somthing epic and falling at it so utterly.
“Hey, there’s no.reason to fight, but let’s just do it for the sake of the music that allready started to be dramatic.”
Osiris were like: “I’m not fighting The Chief, did you play Halo:CE to Halo 4? He’s unstoppable!”

It felt like two action figures being mashed together.

Wouldn’t that have been on the part of whoever story-boarded that scene for not showing us clearly how far away Osiris is? I’m not defending the writing of the story (you know how I feel about it) but I’m certain “Osiris’s platform moved too far away for them to follow Locke” isn’t something you can screw up on paper.
I think, in all, the fight was unnecessary and whoever did Chief’s mo-cap reacted to getting hit like a pro-wrestler who can’t act. It’s just weird. It was just like it had to be there in an attempt to justify the Chief v. Locke ad campaign. Like “see? We told you there’d be a showdown.” Even though it was like 20 seconds and incredibly out of place and out of character for Chief and far removed from the ads.
