I never thought about it being a plot twist that way. Definitely a good call

Couldn't agree with you more. Chief has always been humanity's savior. There were other spartans before Chief and they died so what's to say Locke is better than Chief and is hunting him. No. I think Locke is the best spartan ONI has, so maybe they sent him on a journey to find Chief and bring him back to save humanity yet again. Along the way he runs into Arbiter who wants Chief back just as much and that's where the trailer at E3 comes into play.

It could be true that Locke is hunting Chief....what I don't get out of that theory is, why Arbiter is helping Locke then. Why would Arbiter want Chief dead? Looking for Chief to bring him in makes more sense than hunting him.

UNSC Frigate Bellicose incident....captured by insurrectionists who escaped but then resurfaced and was destroyed

I don't think that was a trailer for the MCC...I think that was their trailer peek for Guardians... I only say this because I don't see why they would introduce a new character (Locke) for the MCC which he was never in. I would have to say confirmed as well only an opinion though

Yeah the Collection is being made for xbox one on the new engine for 60 FPS so there would be no point in doing a 360 one too. it would be a waste of time and money. That and they want people to buy the Xbone since they arent selling a lot right now. But I think that is going to start changing with all the xbone exclusives that are starting to come out.

Callisto Incident...it's what started the insurrection

well then we agree to disagree I guess. one thing is for sure. the world is ending from something that we don't now and arbiter and locke are looking for chief so something chief knows can save the human race again

All of those people you just talked about went against the UNSC....Lasky disobeyed an order...Cortana obviously doesn't like the UNSC anymore and Halsey is trying to be killed by them....

rebels

play it from 2:20 "troubled by aspects of the military" SO in my eyes, yes he is part of the UNSC....but he's doing the same thing as Chief. Going on his own to fulfill the mission. Arbiter is helping him because he wants to find Chief as much as the UNSC does....again this is just my opinion

sentinels....?

It was in an article I saw that Locke is mad at the UNSC too

Banned for banning someone who butchered a quote even though he got an A for effort...

It defintitely it Marlowe because Marlowe is mad at the upper tier officials of the UNSC just like Chief was. And obviously Marlowe (or Agent Locke in the trailer) is looking for Chief with the help of Arbiter. Chief is already amped up at the UNSC and just wait until he finds out they are trying to kill Halsey (the only person Chief feels can save Cortana) So now that Locke also doesn't like the UNSC he is looking for Chief with Arbiter to get on his side to help in his quest against the world. I'm excited to see this play out. I think we'll find out more from some leaks in the future since they always happen. In the case that no leaks do happen, we will definitely find out more when the digital series comes out with the Master Chief Collection. I think Locke will be introduced in that series much like the Forward Unto Dawn series introduced Chief at the end (even though we already knew who chief was) it was set in the past, as Lasky was just a kid therefore I took it as being set before the Halo events. So I think this digital series will introduce Agent Locke into the story line so we get a feel of who he is and what his mission is.

I don't think they did though. I was watching the IGN interview a couple hours after the Microsoft conference, and they did actually answer it, but the question was asked if the ranking system and maps and the overall online experience was going to be anything like halo 2 since thats the one almost every halo player loved the most. He didn't answer it exact, but he did say that if that was the online experience everyone loved, then everyone is going to be really happy with the Halo 5 experience. We all know everyone is going to try out Halo 5, and if they follow through with the above statement, then I think they're going to hit it right on the head and knock it out. Plus the beta coming with the Master Chief Collection can't hurt. They are doing it a year ahead of time to give themselves plenty of time to hear the feedback over a couple months and still be able to make changed before the normal holiday release of 2015. I can honestly say this is the BEST post I have seen ever. I agree with you 10000000000000000% and people just don't see it. Too many people are worried about their online XP and rank these days. I mean yes I am competitive and I obviously want to be a good online player. But I don't buy the Halos for their online game play. I buy them for the story first. Online comes second and that is how Halo is supposed to be. I don't even play online until I have the story beat. Which I'm usually obsessed with so i beat it in a day or two haha. But you have these people who don't even play the story mode because they're so set on being "The Best" online. People talk so much smack about having a better rank that it makes me kind of sick. It'll be like a week after its out and people are already ranked at like 100. Why? Seriously just why? Halo started as a story in books and it should be continued as a story through game play. Not through online which doesn't even give you the thrill of playing through the story. When Halo 3 ended with "wake me when you need me" and was left open for another developer I was dying praying that someone would pick it up right away. Not so I could play online in the next installment, so I could see the next chapter in the story. That's how Halo should be looked at. Story first, online second. Like you said, if Halo didn't have it's story as it's driving force, it wouldn't even be a game. I just wish there were more people who were excited about the story playing out and not as much whining about the online experience.

Unggoy?

I ended up using chrome. Thanks guys

Yes but then eventually you're going to rank up anyway. you just have to play a lot. if points is all that matters than you just have to play a lot regardless of how good you are. Like I said before I think winning shouldn't be the only thing, but there has to be a balance.

Maybe it's because I'm a new member that I cant quote yet???? I just did exactly what you said I hit quote, but all I got was the normal text box, no other "dark grey box"

When I am in a forum and want to put a copy of someone else's post into my post so it's like I'm directly replying to them....how do I do that? I thought that I just had to hit quote or multi quote but when I did that it still posted like a normal post without their post inside of mine. Any help would be great! thanks

I do think games these days are getting too easy to rank up. So I agree and disagree. You need to get wins to rank up but what if you have the game of your life but the rest of your team sucks. You shouldn't be demoted because of that. There has to be a balance. NHL using a system of ranking which has parts to it in one of their game modes. You have to attain a certain amount of points and a certain amount of wins to rank up. All the points you earn though accrue. For example...you need to get 1500 points and 5 wins to rank up to level 2, and then 3000 points and 10 wins to rank up to level 3. So if you reach lets say 3000 points with only 4 wins because you just cant break that barrier you're stuck at level 1 until you get that win. But once you get that win, now you already have the necessary accrued points (3000) for the next level. You just need to get to 10 wins. You never technically get demoted. But it makes it a heck of a lot more competitive to rank up, making team work a whole lot more important. Love to hear some comments or confusion!!!

No I'm not a bungie fanboy. I do appreciate them starting this game franchise though. I am a halo fanboy. Do you think Microsoft will give us more info at E3 or leave us with more questions?
