[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?
