Yeah, I've seen it, I just think with the direction they went they sort of pigeonholed him as long as the status quo stays the same - he's got to have enough of a personality to distinguish him from Chief and pals, but at the same time he has to play it straight enough that he can be considered an analog to Chief. I really want a situation where Chief's off the front lines ("retired", decommissioned, dies, whatever) for good, so now you have to juggle a cast where Locke is struggling to fill Chief's shoes and Blue Team has to, y'know, actually have some character in-game now that they aren't just cardboard cutouts putting Chief in the limelight anymore. Maybe after the Created thing blows over Halo pulls a TFA and Chief just straight-up goes into hiding, but at any rate having a smaller, more personal conflict would be welcome at this point. I know it's a serialized AAA FPS, but come on, not every mainline title has to have a threat that could threaten the fate of the galaxy as we know it or whatever.
