I'm not sure WTF 343i is doing with the characters/story. WTF is the Chief being portrayed as a war criminal? Even members of Blue Team are questioning him. Why is Halsey public enemy #1?
I hope Chief beats the living piss out of that arrogant, self righteous Locke.
They are setting up for a big redemption/Cortana reunion in Halo 6: Return of Cortana of course.
Listening to the huntthetruth casts, it looks they are setting up Oni as the Big Baddie for this one and Locke's team are basically the unwitting or witting pansies.
Doesn't really matter because Team Chief all the way.
