Why did they write everyone of the main characters like they are idiots or make their personalities less interesting than wet paint?
Well I don’t see how they are idiots but the lack of personality is from all the augmentations and training to become Spartans. Have to remember members of Blue team were trained since kids to be super soliders. Members of Osiris didn’t enter Spartan program till later in life but all the surgeries and training still take their toll.
But they could have written them better. Spartan Locke’s personality is on the same level as wet cardboard. Nothing for the player to latch onto or connect to him with. I agree somewhat about what you said about Blue Team, but if you read the books, more specifically “The Fall of Reach”, Blue Team has way more personality than they do now.
It comes down to the narrative lead not having a clue. That seems to be popular opinion about his other work before H5 too.
Because the story was scrapped & re-written & what we got was a hype letdown

Was this ever officially confirmed by any one at 343 or Microsoft? I have seen this accusation thrown around but never saw it come from 343. I can some what believe it being how H5 was marketed with the whole “hunt the truth” and what not and how the actual game we got didn’t match up with that at all really…but still it may have been other factors.
Bad management and poor writing, really nothing else to it.
Look at the Chief vs Locke “fight.” Locke pretty much comes in waving a gun around and telling Blue Team to stand down, without even bothering to try and emphasize with what’s going on. It’s not like Locke can use that gun anyways because his mission is to retrieve Blue Team, not kill them. Obviously Blue Team ignores him, Locke suddenly goes intentionally vague and demanding so Chief can go suddenly protective so they can have a sudden fist fight for no reason.
Then cut to later when Osiris runs into Blue Team again, they’re the ones who point their guns this time, and Locke kinda just puts his hands up and tries to calmly explain what went on. Why didn’t you try that the first time?! It’s not like you learned anything between those moments.
This story would have been over before it began if they just talked things out.
This really doesn’t seem constructive. More like a H5 story bashing forum. I think all of the characters in Halo 5: Guardians are written well.

Calling out the faults doesn’t really make it not constructive.
From one perspective, your post would be equally nonconstructive, just in the other direction.

True, however I think I just get tired of people hating on H5 because 343i advertised one storyline and then made a different one. Coming from my perspective, I didn’t watch any of the trailers till after I bought the game, I thought the storyline was good and the characters were pretty cool. I do realize though that H5 was a letdown for most people.

The best part about the story were the grunts. And they weren’t nearly as good as they are in Halo 3.
