I was just wondering how you guys and gals think the first encounter between the Chief and Locke is going to go down in Halo 5. Do you think it's going to be a good or bad encounter?
I myself believe that the Chief will be carrying out his own desires as he tries to block out the pain of Cortana dying through means of war, and as he is leaving ( getting in a warthog or something) will see a strange and mysterious silhouette standing watching him as he leaves, causing the chief to question what just happened there. Then in a later mission the Chief will be again doing his thing and the scene will switch to a cutscene of him walking, but realising that someone is watching him, he turns around with his weapon raised to see Locke standing not far behind him. (Locke had not show up on his radar, in a sort of Spidey Sense moment where Spiderman cannot sense Venom. This can be achieved by means such as Locke's armour being some kind of special armor that blocks chief's motion tracker maybe?).
They will talk about who Locke is and why he is there. Locke will tell chief that he has been ordered to bring him home by any means necessary. This will cause a difference of opinion, which will lead to an escalation and the two will become rivals for the rest of the campaign until a greater threat causes them to have to team up with Locke abandoning his orders for the greater good. A friendship will emerge from all of this.
