I don’t like the fact that another Spartan is hunting down the Spartan Master Chief I understand that so many people want to see the plot but I mean that if Master Chief dies I probably would go crazy and not play halo for a while does anyone agree
Locke’s objective is not to kill Chief; it’s to find him and find out why he went AWOL. If Chief’s actions are indeed endangering humanity in some way, then his elimination would be justifiable. We don’t know which side is in the right or wrong at the moment.
But even ignoring these arguments, do you really think 343 is gonna kill off Chief when he just started to gain some personality? You have nothing to worry about.

They are hunting the chief to make him back not to kill him, and Locke wants to know why the Chief has gone AWOL and also on the plot will be the remanent covenant and the guardians, i don’t think chief is going to die calm down 
I agree. And if he does do something that warrants his killing, than its the writers I’ll be mad at, for ruining his character. I highly doubt it will come to that however.
I don’t think they will kill off the series main character in Halo 5. Especially with Halo 4 - 6 being a new trilogy. Sure they killed off Cortana in Halo 4, but seeing as she is an A.I. and they can cleverly write her back to life and make her part of the story again, it’s a gamble they obviously thought was worth taking to show us a different side of John. Much different than when Johnson and Keyes were killed off. They can’t be written back to life as they were real, human characters.
But now they have, IMO, a nice plot that shows how far a man/John, will go to get back the one thing/person that is most precious to him.

Why would it ruin his character?

Because the Chief is supposed to be the good guy. I couldn’t really see him doing something bad enough that would make his death justified.

He might not know that he’s doing something bad. Could be another 343 Guilty Spark situation.

Sometimes the heroes need to do things that others won’t agree with.
Chief won’t be doing anything directly with the intent of jeopardizing humanity, he’s not purposefully turning evil or something. He most likely has good intentions, or is at least misled. But what he’s doing may not always be received well, even if it’s the right thing to do.
One of the main points of Halo 4 was breaking Chief down as a character and pushing him out of his comfort zone. Halo 5 pushing that “hunt the truth”, controversy, contradictions vibe is a major part of exploring that moral relationship in the series.

I agree. You too Webb. But if he does it with bad intentions, that is where I would be mad. But I doubt it will be like that.

And Luke Skywalker turned to the Dark Side because he tried to go in deep in an attempt to get close to defeat the revived Emperor in the Dark Empire comics. Yet he came back from the abyss in the end. It doesn’t have to be about Chief doing something bad on purpose, but it wouldn’t be a surprise if Chief did something he honestly thinks is good for it to backfire. For goodness sake he almost activated the Halos because a robot he just met told him too.
Locke isn’t going to kill him, that much is clear.
343 is in no way going to kill off Chief, they’re fleshing his character alot further in the games than previous installments.
He’ll did in 6 I guarantee it. But as he implied in the comics, he wanted to die fighting for humanity
I think he’s doing something antagonistic without even realizing it. As Cobra said up top, he almost fired the Halo Array because a robot he just met an hour beforehand told him so…
I think hunting down chief ( Dont think locke wants him dead) will help 343 tell a greater story in Halo 5. Playing as chief will reveal story about the guardians and other things happening in the galaxy and playing as Locke will help reveal chief’s story while enabling him and his team to follow chief’s footsteps and learn what chief is learning as well. Like Josh Holmes has said, Locke and the fact he is following chief gives us a new lens to look at chief and his character. Because Osiris is hunting down chief, the game, being it if you play as Locke or Chief is about Chief and blue team. It also gives players and Halo Lore fans a sense of the struggles the spartans go through. It will help compare a new, fresh spartan IV team and how they interact while comparing them to a concrete, cohesive and very experienced spartan II team.
Here we will see more differences possibly as well between the S-IVs characters and S-II characters.
All in all OP, I dont think chief will die. The purpose is the open up story and branch the Halo games away from the linear story and to include the broader Halo story.
