Master Chief should have more action scenes!

Chief is like a Super Hero that kills hundreds,thousands Covenant with ease.Yet we don't see him in so many cool action scenes.All we got in Halo 5 Cutscenes was 2 "action"scenes with him.First was shooting the window and duck beneath energy sword.And second was sloppy fight with Locke.

Personally I want more first person quick time events like in Halo 4, for example with killing the elite by mashing B during the first mission.

Truth be told, I honestly don't think the Master Chief needs action scenes. A short scuffle here and a punch-up there, sure, but anything like the opening of Halo 5: Guardians, with Osiris just isn't the Chief's style.

Remember,Chief as Spartan II should be superior in strength,speed than Osiris Spartan IV-s.But most of the time we see him in Cutscenes he appears slow like a RoboCop.

Superior in strength and speed, yes, but that doesn't mean that action scenes are necessary. Most of the action comes from the gameplay.

I'm fine with more cutscenes but I wouldn't want them to go overboard with the superhero action. He's a capable badass but he's also humble and deliberate in his actions, I wouldn't want exaggerated flashy moves out of him. He's straight and to the point, just does what is needed.

But gameplay is just shooting stuff and then in Cutscenes he is mostly walking slowly with his AR.I want to see some memorable action scenes with Chief,especially if it's gonna be his last game.

I think odds are pretty poor than Infinite is the final MC game. I know there's a lot of talk about whether 343i will write him out somehow when Steve Downes retires from voice work, but if I were them I'd take zero issue with recasting Chief. Not at all to disparage Downes' work with the character, but to someone with roughly the right tambor, the voice isn't particularly difficult to mimic reasonably well. They can for sure find someone who can put forward an extremely passable Chief voice to keep the character at the forefront of the mainline series.

I don't know how much interest in general there is in seeing a new and different series protagonist after Locke's extremely tepid (if not downright poor) reception in the role.

Heresy!You would replace Steve Downes voice for Chief?After almost 20 years of his commitment to the Halo series he should not be replaced.And surely 343 can make a good main protagonist if Master Chief story should end.
Locke was not received well because Halo 5 had a team based gameplay,if he were alone like Chief in Halo 1-4 he would be more interesting character.

TBH I'd play another game involving Buck before I'd ever played a game with Locke as the main character.

I wouldn't quite call Chief a 'Super Hero' because of his rising number of times he's saved the known Galaxy and then some. Super Heroes tend to do good because it's the right thing to do, they also don't kill people; Alien or otherwise. Chief is a Super Soldier and he does good because it falls within our belief of what is the Greater Good. His duty as a soldier is to protect Humanity, whatever the cost. This isn't something he was born wanting to do, it isn't even something he grew up wanting to do; rather he was conditioned to follow orders and perform his duties. Were it not for this, he would have likely just grew up like any other inhabitant of Eridanus II and died like them too (considering the Covenant Glassed his home world if I recall correctly.)

To get back on topic; I don't think Chief needs all the flash and glamour. Sure, he's got faster reflexes, thinks faster, moves faster, is stronger and trained better in every way than the average soldier. For all that though? Spartan-II's were trained in the art of subtlety. They don't care to make a big scene (they actually prefer to avoid it), they prefer to be quick, silent, and efficient. Think of them less as massive soldiers standing almost 7 feet tall and more like ninjas. Because if they do things quietly, they can maintain the element of surprise for much longer.

Course, I'm pretty sure most of us believe Chief to be the many great's grandchild of Micheal Bay with his ever present need to blow something up wherever he goes.

Yeah, Im down for it.

I disagree, bungie kept the cutscenes for dialogue and cinematic moments that couldn't happen during gameplay or needed to go on a specific way without you interfering or doing something different than continuing the plot, letting all the combat in your hands. In action scenes there's no tension since it always is the same without doing anything. It's an FPS, not a movie.

Halo 2 had great action scenes and it was made by Bungie.
