Alright, yes, after doing a little research, you're right. But my point about Locke still stands. He's a special operative of ONI. He's going to have superior training and such.
When it comes to the hatred of the Spartan-IVs, I think it's a case of bad introductions. The first time we really see how Spartan-IVs act is in Spartan Ops, and Majestic was far from a good example of the average fireteam. They were insubordinate, juvenile, overly-dramatic, and downright idiotic. And Palmer…well, she wasn't a whole lot better.

While their goal may have been to make the IV's more social than the II's and III's, I have yet to understand why they chose to make them seen unprofessional. And Palmer just can't get her shit together. As for Locke, I can imagine he'd know more than the other Spartans in terms of ONI directives and such. But when it comes to combat effectiveness, I don't imagine a huge skill gap between him and say Buck.

The IVs in Halo 4 were just one of the many failures of that game. This is true, but we must also keep in mind that Locke was a bounty hunter, and he was skilled enough to be singled out by ONI for recruitment. That shows something more than just your average ODST like Buck. Buck was picked for the fact that he was an ODST and survived some of the most pivotal battles of the war. If he were to go toe-to-toe with Locke, I'm pretty sure it would be a close fight, but Locke would emerge the victor.
