SO HYPE. Chief and Locke are not going to be buddy-buddy at the end of this. Chief is going to knock Locke off of his high horse, and Locke so going to be left crawling back to ONI licking his wounds.
It's going to be like the Elite from Halo: The Flood that spent the whole novel trying to slay 117, but failed and underestimated him every step of the way.

is Master Chief a messiah type character is their a prophecy that he is the chosen one of the halo universe?
We're all seeing the fact that the Master Chief trailer takes place (location time wise) AFTER the Spartan Locke trailer right?
It's like a game of spot the difference.
- The Spartan/Chief statue is damaged way more in the Chief Trailer than it is in the Locke trailer.
- The Locke Trailer's colour pallet and lighting is more suggestive of a morning/midday time while Chief Trailer's colour pallet and lighting is much darker and red and the sun is setting.
HOWEVER, Chief's armor is not damaged in anyway in his trailer.
So either they aren't linked in time like I think or Chief recovers and gets new armor between the two events.

They knew about them, but only barely. And they definitely didn't know about the Chief specifically.

why try to tie the two together? They're just two outcomes.

I hope you get to play as both of them instead of deciding which path to choose.

I think his whole deal is he's lucky. At least what I can tell from fall of reach and halo 4

I'm a little bit irked, myself, though I realize that some parts of Fall weren't really tenable (first contact with Elites), I still preferred it overall to Reach's take on the battle.
Saying that it retconned the whole book is just silly, though.
Shocking really. From the beta, the game needed A LOT of work. Makes me worried to be honest, especially for the readiness of its multiplayer. I would rather have it later with more time if it means a better title. But yeah, 343 doesn't have a reputation for listening to fan feedback...
The first two minutes where the interviewer dude talks about how John showed up out of nowhere at New Mombasa. Makes it sound like no one has ever heard of or seen a Spartan before then.
Not like this. Reach changed some dates. (and asked you to buy that the UNSC knew the Covenant were on Reach a month before it actually fell.)
Not nearly like this. Hairline Fracture is overwriting the Spartan propaganda which was kind of a thing in FoR.

Well, that was interesting.
I'm pretty sure its just alternate versions showing the different perspectives. It would be strange if one took place after the other.

Great job on the trailers Frankie.

Apparently? The two can exist together just fine. Not sure why this is still a point for complaint.

Yes, but the only reason you think that is because you want them to rip out the entire thing and rebuild it.
The beta was fine. Plenty of time to iron out the (relatively minor) matchmaking issues and flesh out the content.

Minor thing but Locke is showing up as a friendly on Chief's radar.
Same shot - two different trailers.
Different overall tone... but same shot and the statue is older/more damaged in the second trailer. (Open up both the images and flick between the tabs)
IF these are meant to be two alternate versions of the same thing, why would the statue be more broken in one and not the other?

Oh, nice catch! Very interesting...
I'm interested in where he'll go. Can't be worse than Nightfall.

In halo 4 you could only have 2 grenades of the same type, right? Did they up that number in Halo 5, or is chief breaking the rules by having 3?

Chief isn't even on Locke's
Reach was destroyed

tl;dr
That's because Chief's out of his league.

Maybe, in two different possible outcomes, if Chief is killed by Locke he dies with a heroic and untarnished legacy. But, if Chief ends up killing Locke, he truly becomes the villain to everyone.

Different set of circumstances leading up to confrontation. In one, Chief's statue takes a beating and they meet later in the day. In the other, Chief's statue is unscathed, and the conflict is earlier.
Or, more likely, the two scenes are entirely metaphorical. Locke's statue is intact because he considers the Chief to be intact, the Infinity is more heavily damaged because he sees the threat to the UNSC as larger, and it's earlier in the day because he's still early in his career.
In the Chief's scene, the statue is missing part of its head because Chief feels incomplete now that Cortana is dead.
Could just be Earth.

Chief has brain damage in his one.
...Chief's one is the fake one!

Locke's HUD shows a BR icon, he's holding a DMR.
Great attention to detail. Or is it?

Now this I like. What would it mean for these ads though? I'm not sure we can have a game like Halo 5 have two such different situations happen depending on characters like this. Maybe it really is just to wet our taste buds for the possibilities of Halo 5, rather than show us something that will happen.
I think it's intentional.

So we're going back to Halo CE shield/life combo?
Cool.

Could be anywhere, (though Reach is unlikely due to the whole glassing thing). Dude saved the galaxy, there's gonna be statues of him everywhere.
Naw. The beta had 2 bars too; the bottom one is a "time to shield recharge" meter.
EDIT: But... it wasn't segmented like that. Interesting.

Not unless we get another moon between the end of Halo 4 and this trailer taking place.
...
?
That's how it was in the beta.
