In the campaign there are 15 missions and the master chief is only playable in 3 of them! What’s going on with 343? The Halo 4 movie was based entirely on Jameson Locke, the Halo Xbox One Limited Bundle featured Locke’s artwork and controller and now Halo 5 is almost entirely Jameson Locke?
Perhaps 343 does not understand that the Master Chief made the game (Bungie realized that and all of their Halo games were rated in the 90s while 343’s games were in the 80s in ratings). Bring the Master Chief back as the star! If you want to alternate between Master Chief and Locke every year like EA does (modern warfare and black ops) that is fine but don’t kill off the the character who made the game. Someone needs the right the ship at 343 and make Halo (Master Chief) games! Or did the Halo (Master Chief) series really die when Bungie left?
Honestly, I think two series will be great (a Master Chief one and a Locke/whoever else series). Just don’t mess with the Master Chief series!

Agreed, i’ve told people before, we only need a few more things about chief before we can officially send him on his way; His last name, and his face. Adding a new character isn’t that bad. We all fell in love with the rookie and noble six even though they weren’t chief, heck one wasn’t even a spartan. but all that matters is that we have a story to continue with.

I would rather see the Halo series end than continue down the path of “modernization”, bad storytelling, and speed-focused-multiplayer that we’ve been seeing from 343.

I agree. I don’t know what’s going on with 343. Maybe buy back Bungie and let them focus on the Master Chief series (since 343 won’t) and let 343 focus on their beloved Locke character and their bad storytelling!
Also nobody said Chief isn’t very important to 343. But you do fail to realize this is a new trilogy. Chief may have less time now but didn’t 343 make a full chief game (4)
Chief isn’t going anywhere in the long run. Locke got his time and will come back but his story is more important NOW
Also don’t say locke is boring. Chief didn’t do much amazing things in CE he was still a fairly silent protganist. Even if he is or was better in his start don’t forget you have 10x more chief love.
But if you think this is chiefs end or that locke is taking over 100% you’re stupid. Sorry but its a video game. Enjoy it. And stop being paranoid. Jeez.
I feel like people that are hating on Halo 5 just can’t adapt. No offense to anyone. I love all of the Halos because it’s Halo. Who cares if they change a bit? Everyone hates Call Of Duty because it’s always the same. You know what I mean?
Halo4: All chief.
Halo5: Mix. Maybe more Locke (gameplay time may not be as one sided)
Halo6: Could easily be mostly Chief again or more
Again don’t forget this isn’t going to be the full end of chief. Without saying much it ends in a way where Chief will be big and the term Halo(6) will bring many things to classic roots. Trust me. It sets up a very classic vibe for 6

I myself will have no issue playing as a new character, and learning more about that character’s story. After all I’ve played many games as the Master Chief, and in all honesty, this game could have been all about the Chief again and I would have been fine with that. But I am pretty excited to learn more about Locke through the game and it won’t ruin the Halo lore for me…the Master Chief still exists. I had no issue playing ODST and Reach without the Chief and I truly enjoyed those games like any other Halo game.
But I can understand where certain fans are coming from in regards to the Chief not being the primary character, as he has been the pinnacle hero throughout; but let’s at least see where this can go and enjoy the fact that we have a brand new Halo game…

Classic vibe? Without spoiling it, can you tell us if you mean everybody loses the ability to sprint? Do all of their thruster packs suddenly stop working? Do the helmet HUD’s finally go back to what scoping used to look like?
Halo is a classic console franchise. It should play like a classic console shooter.

I have zero issues with a Halo XYZ/Locke series or simply having Halo games not starring the Master Chief. ODST was fine, Reach was amazing (we need this on the MCC) and Wars was fun. I actually think this is a good thing as it may allow us to get a new Halo game annually. I expect the Halo Master Chief series to star the Master Chief though. It’s like Nintendo making a Super Mario Brothers game starring Luigi. Sure it may be good but at the end of the day people buy nintendos to play as Mario and people buy an xbox to play as the master chief. Sometimes the spin-offs are amazing (like Reach) but you never kill off the bread and butter (the mario). The only reason why I purchased an Xbox (Master Chief) or a Nintendo (Mario) in the past.

Luckily, 4 of these ‘classic console shooters’ are already available on one disk for you.
