Well, at least we can throw the "Locke-Chief-Allies" theory out the window. Though both Locke and Chief seem distinctly out of character. Especially Chief.

Not necessarily... It never shows Locke pull the trigger. I heard a pretty interesting theory earlier, I'll see If I can remember it: Locke finds chief on the Ground, like in the trailer. Notice how it looks like chief has plasma burns- Locke has no plasma weaponry. Locke pulls out his pistol... Ok this theory starts to get weird... He shoots the chief, intentionally leaving him alive, but he looks dead to ONI. Hence the crack in his visor in the original trailer where we see him cloaked... Far fetched, but who knows?
-
You're talking about the plasma burns on his upper left chest and shoulder, what do you think did that? I mean, the blast went clean through the Chiefs armor, and that doesn't happen much.
-
Yeah...
-
Of course there's also the theory that the entire trailer(s) is a metaphor.
-
Out of character? How do you even know that? The trailers obviously take place near the end of Halo 5's story, not the beginning.
-
Do we have any confirmation that this trailer actually represents a moment in the campaign? Or is it just a cinematic representation of the tension between the two characters?
-
Where or not they are canonical, they take place at the end of a story.
-
We can't rule out the possibility that more could take place after it though. We know so little.
-
Plot structure dictates this is the climax of the story whether it's canon or not. Both characters have changed extraordinarily for reasons unseen, meaning a lot has happened.
-
But that is assumed. That means that both characters have undergone a radical change in their personality, be it before or during the events of Halo 5. That was the point.
-
Then they are not out of character. Them being out of character means the writers are making them say things which don't make sense, which isn't true.

[quote]both Locke and Chief seem distinctly out of character. Especially Chief.[/quote] How? They're both [i]perfectly[/i] within character - our knowledge of Locke's true intentions have always been a mystery, and John is in the mental place we've known he's going to be in since the end of Halo 4...
-
Nightfall shows that Locke isn't exactly ruthless, and while Chief is going through some hard times, Escalation has shown that he is still perfectly sane and has no reason (that we know of) to hate Locke. It's not like he has anything left to care about.
-
[quote]no reason to hate Locke[/quote]It's not like he's trying to kill Chief or anything...
-
Not from what we know. At least that isn't what his goal is initially. And the Arbiter tried to kill the Chief, but they became friends, and the Arbiter even tells this to Locke.
-
Edited by TotallyNotDrew: 3/30/2015 3:43:55 PMDid you completely forget the opening scene in Halo 3 where chief nearly blows the Arbiter's head off? Over time sure, but it took Johns closest friends to convince him Arbiter was on his side.
-
Yeah, and look how quickly they made up.
-
So even though we see Locke wanting to kill Chief in the end, that means they're buddy buds? okay
-
No, I'm saying that they may have not initially wanted each other dead, but that something significant occurred during Halo 5 that had a profound impact on them.
-
Right, so then how are they out of character?
