They'll say Chief will stick with Halsey. Everyone turns on Chief.
Almost certain now the game will be Arbiter and Locke playable characters as both try to find Chief (Arbiter wants to help his friend, Locke is part of ONI wants to put him down). Won't be until the final 1/3rd when they find Chief and he explains why he went AWOL that we get to play as him.
At the end, Chief and Arby will agree to help Halsey and end Storm Covenant while Locke promises to fight back against ONI etc.

This clip will definitely not be used if Halo 5 disappoints the fans.

Unknown?
Or Funknown?
Seriously though, the chief's face obsession has always been amusing to me; we've known what he looked like since Fall of Reach

Me too. WTF.
Please dont kill him.
Dont show his face.
LET ME LIVE.
Agreed. i just think we'll play as chief more than you say. It's going to be like halo 2 where you play as both sets and the story becomes clear.
I don't think they'll kill him off. I really don't think Halo survives without Chief.
Master Chief's identity under his suite hasn't been a mystery since the first book, we know what he looks like.
All it needs is 343i on the sniper or bullet.

I honestly wouldn't mind at this point. His appearance has already been described in the books and he's never really been a silent protagonist.
Whether they show his face or not at this point, I would be fine with either. Wouldn't really change anything.
I agree that they wont kill him. It's just an easy way to rile up people on the internet that'll go on to discuss it.

Big difference in animation and story-telling between what MC has always been and if he were to suddenly have a face with emotions to convey.Unknown?
Or Funknown?

He would be a completely different character.

You guys got nothing to worry about. John's survival is all but guaranteed because he is too important to MS.
You should be worried about Kelly, Linda and Fred. They are expendable, John isn't.

Aside from the leaks and Insiders who have said Chief doesn't get much of the playtime, here is a recent quote from an interview Frankie did with GamesRadar:
The bolded is very interesting. Frank chose his words carefully. I have no doubt Locke is being used to tell and contextualise Chief, but saying he does the heavy lifting in the storytelling and that we should 'forget how long you play as each character', coupled with what has been said, leads to me believe Locke is indeed the primary lead in the game in terms of playtime. And because they used playable characters, I'm assuming we'll also play as Arbiter for a bit too. The H2A cinematic showed us that they both agreed to help search for Chief. Maybe it starts off as Locke and Arbiter ala Halo 2 and when they find him, we switch to Chief to finish off the game and what he was doing. I think while we play as Locke and Arbiter, we'll be seeing cinematics of what Chief is doing or getting info etc.
Pictures in the books are not the same as the game. You play as him in games. Its not the same feeling.
It's not worthy of discussion? Master chiefs helmet shot a bullet with he word traitor? That's interesting, don't you think?

You never get a picture, except the one in your head. It's described.
Is that what the teaser site will show? Or will it be something else?
Even Better, They need to let him be inside his helmet. I really dont wanna see him.
I've gotta say, the imagery seems...I dunno, crass? Like, it's figurative, I get that much. The idea that ONI has to character-assassinate one of the last Spartan IIs (especially after they used him as a PR martyr for the post-war negotiations) is just...not the stuff of teasers when it's so central to the known story.
I mean, I guess putting a bullet through the face of the Master Chief Collection (its art at least) is a pretty strong statement on their quality goals for Halo 5.

You get the glimpse of his face at the end of Halo 4 (if you beat it on Legendary)

I actually brought this up earlier in the thread, but ONI/UNSC brass has come to view the remaining IIs as something of a potential liability; they were useful during the war, but now they're a PR nightmare waiting to happen. Child soldiers trained to fight the Insurrectionists are an uncomfortable group to have hanging around, reminding people of your moral failings. I'm not at all surprised they'd leap on a chance to bury the Chief.
Oh, I know, I meant in Fall of Reach.

Plenty of trailers and teasers tell us nothing though. :lol
It's just a teaser for #HUNTtheTRUTH so it fits better in this thread.
I've gotta say, with
the new head of ONI being a Spartan II herself,

Why is the jacket on the sniper round coming out the barrel?

Could be a Sabot round.

It is a sabot round, I didn't realize that's how they work.

Yeah. The sabot is a wrapping or shell around the bullet that falls away when it exits the barrel. Lets you use odd shapes and sizes. Tank rounds work that way too, IIRC.
