Here's my analysis.... It doesn't happen in the game.

[ImGeekins]

This is what I get for shooting Captain Keyes all those times on the first level of Combat Evolved!

Chief would destroy locke. Trained since he was like 8 harder than an odst.

My dad saw the trailers while watching Jurassic World and said it looked like a good movie and asked me when it was coming out.

Man, I wish Johnson was here, he knew what the ladies liked :( 

[APECK]

This wasn't even in the game I was disappointed

[moron_tv]

Did anyone else notice that Locke is holding a DMR but on his HUD it shows a Battle Rifle with three rounds left in the magazine?

Plot twist:
Master chief is Agent Lockes dad, and Locke is hunting the Chief down for the 18 years of child support he owes him.

"Two sides to every story"... Like bickering children; Chief tells his side of the story, while Locke tells his side, both claiming their story is the truth. The Arbiter (knowing the truth), acts as the adult of the situation and moderates them both.

Chief - "Locke, you're the bad guy!"

Locke - "No, you!"

Arbiter - "Both of you two better shut your mouths or you're both grounded..."

Locke and Chief - "Yes, Arbiter..."

I've told this before, but no one seems to notice this. I think the geas that the librarian imprinted on chiefs dna and activated in Halo 4 plays a big role in Halo 5. I think that Bornstellar (iso-didact) is now in control of chiefs body or is giving him information no one knows about. In the trailer locke says they want to remember mc as you (the statue/the old mc) and not you (looking at mc's body). He might be talking about the iso-didact here...

[lokochon]

we got no hunt, no traitors, no hunted, . everything about this game was a lie even the cake

[aj-ughh]

you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain

[SrgRawlsTheLast]

Maybe Chief sees himself as something broken. Perhaps that's why the statue is falling apart. It's symbolism.

When I first saw the Halo: 5 Locke vs chief stuff, I thought Locke was going to be a bounty hunter/ Mercenary

[bromos]

I've noticed that according to their huds, Master Chief has more ammo left in his weapon than Locke, and assuming they fought each other in both trailers, it seems that Master Chief took down Locke with a little less effort than it took Locke to take down Master Chief.

[silvereaglexi]

The Chief never cared what anyone thought of him as long as their opinion of him didn't get in the way of his duty.

[SNOWYDVO]

If master chief dies the entire francise will be dead

[Noble]

Has anyone else noticed that Locke is holding a DMR but his HUD says he is using a Battle Rifle...

[ShadowOfTheSpartans]

I find it interesting that Locke's trailer is black-themed, considering that in espionage black is a common theme for a cover up, almost as if Locke's trailer is the cover up, while Chief's more eroded, more cataclysmic trailer being the real one, the version not covered up by black ink, laid bare for all the world to see the truth of what's really going on.

I call this BS I was so fucking hyped for Halo 5 when I saw that trailer I went to BestBuy and bought an Xbox one and when Halo 5 was realeased I was so damn dissapointed.
