Mabye this was already mentioned but in the Halo 2 documentary, realeased a while ago, with the comentary of the Bungie staff, Joe Staten mentioned a story that would "go down in the untold lore of Bungie." He said that "Miranda" shoved the Master Chief down a hole after strapping a bomb to his back. So my question is; does anyone know who the hell Miranda is, and what this story relates to???

i'm assuming that miranda is one of the people on the Halo 2 team. i think she was going through a break up with some other guy on the team (josh or something like that), and she did that to express her anger. i'd like to see it though. i think it would be pretty funny stuff. bungie should put it in the movie section of b.net. whos with me on this?

That would be cool, however, Joe said: "Jason was going through a rather difficult break-up at the time" so it was not a girl

Miranda is not part of the Bungie team. Only Miranada and her friends know who she is and what her connection to the MC is.

According to what the documentary says, Miranda is clearly a character in the game, not some Bungie employee.

I have been wondering the same thing ever since I first saw that video.

I always thought that Miranda was some character in the game. Joe Staten never said that Jason broke up with Miranda, he just said that he was going through a difficult breakup.

i dont know but i thought i herd that name according to another spartan thats in the books. its obviously a character in the game because the actual dialogue is " Miranda strapped a bomb to mc's back and shoved him down a hole and it was this horrible scene of betrayel though jason was going through a rather difficult break-up at the time, i think that might have had something to do with it. jason is the project lead of halo 2 of course so i think he just made up a script of this miranda who i believe to be another spartan though im not sure blowing mc up so thats what i think.

Miranda is apparently a charachter in the game...either an AI or someone else.
Who cares, its not going to be part of the story anyways

actually, if we see the movie, that will answer the question if she is a person in the game, or a real person.

oh, and simen, my little sister's best friend is named miranda.

yes that will be the first thing I do is watch the DVD unless it is major spoilers and then I will know all the answers to the questions

  • 06.02.2004 10:55 AM PDT

My thumbsticks will be your Doom.... sorry 'bout that.
My Stats

I just posted under "Cortana in H2" that there might be a new AI in the game and Miranda sorta sounds like and AI name...

I am totally confused and undecided as to whether Miranda is an aquaintance of the the Bungie staff or some charadter in the game. You people who say that she is (one or the other) please tell us why you think so, what's your reasoning. The way he says it in the documentay is very misleading, why would they mention someone's name who none of us know, in a 9minute film that they knew would be watched by millions over, thousands of times???

"John was a space marine for fourteen years. When he was young he watched the spaceships and he said to dad "I want to be on the ships daddy." Dad said "No! You will BE KILL BY DEMONS"
"I will shoot at him" said the cyberdemon and he fired the rocket missiles. John plasmaed at him and tried to blew him up. But then the ceiling fell and they were trapped and not able to kill.
"No! I must kill the demons" he shouted
The radio said "No, John. You are the demons"
And then John was a zombie."

I definetly think miranda is a character in the game and This fun new weapon wont be the carbine as fans already know about that one.
I think the update said the new weapon was previously unmentioned

Miranda doesn't sound like an A.I name. A.I's normally have acnchient names like Deji and Wellsey. God knows what Cortana is

Muwahahaha.... Only time will tell.... Who's right? Who's wrong? I can't say. You'll find out soon enough.

Could Miranda actually be the long lost twin sister of the beloved Yap-Yap from The Flood?

Correct. Miranda has to be one of the much talked about Spartan 3's.

think about it.

1. According to the dialogue of the interview, it has to be an in-game character.
2. It has to be on the human side, because Elites' names are like Pumamee, Zuka - Zamamee, etc.
3. No ordinary marine or officer is going to forcefully strap a bomb onto MC, because his armor alone weighs roughly 1/2 of a ton, and MC weighs about 1/4 a ton since he is really big.
4. Only the enhanced strength of the Spartans would enable one to battle such a warrior as MC
5. That would be really cool, to have such a massive plot twist as that. WOW!!!
What kind of artistic and story-writing enhancing drugs are bungie taking?!?!?!?!

just kidding! :)
