So I've been hyped up for Halo 5 for a while now, but it wasn't until recently that I caught on to a pretty huge but of symbolism in Halo 5. If you have been paying attention to the trailers, you'll have noticed that it's all about Locke hunting down Chief, and trying to get him to return, or to take him out and replace him. But when you think about it, it's a bit deeper. When Bungie left Microsoft to make Destiny, they had to leave the rights to Halo with Microsoft, and Microsoft then made 343 Industries take over the series. Now look at it this way. Master Chief and his team are Bungie, and Locke and his team are 343. You've got Microsoft as the UNSC/ONI who've employed Locke (343) to either bring back Chief (Bungie) or kill him and take his place. When you think about it, it makes a lot of sense, considering Halo's past. Anyways that was my quick rant about Halo 5 and it's story. #TeamChief

There's symbolism, but this isn't it.
