For a cool plot twist, I think that Bungie should have something like Cortana getting captured by 343 guilty spark by getting electrically pulled out of MC's head (like when he grabbed the index out of MC's hand in the Library) and MC has a limited amount of time to chase after it. The chase scene would be like the one in The Maw, but there would be a few paths to use, and for each path, you could use a different vehicle (because it has a door that you can fit in but the vehicle can't be taken out of) or you could take the shortest path but you have to run the entire way, avoiding confrontation as much as possible (because you would have to stop sprinting and fight, which would slow you down). Once MC catches up and finds 343, he would find out that 343 only did that to get MC to fall into his trap. MC would then have to fight some type of robotic weaponry that make sentinels look like something you would use to floss your teeth with.

Wouldn't the cinematics in the cut scene for that be awesome? That would be really cool, to see MC standing there about to split 343 wide open with a plasma sword, but then the ground shakes and these robotic behemoths come out to fight?

What do ya guys think? Got any more ideas for a plot twist?

I don't undestand how 343 GS could find the master cheif, then use robotic behemoths to kill him.
remember HALO was destroyed, where would he get these behemoths?

keep in mind there is more than one Halo. Plus, he might be able to track him with something like radar, because of Cortana. She still has the index...

bum, bum, bummmmm...

i think whilst in a state of seperation (like where MC goes it alone in 343 GS and the library in halo 1) the covenant offer cortanna eternal life as it we're because she only can live for 7 years and the halo experience has lessened it even further. in a state of self preservation her 'human' subroutines get the better of her and she betrays humanity by giving the covenant the halo data amoung other things. master chief doesn't know about this until later where a trap is sprung to capture him made by cortanna and the covies. but later cortana realises what she has done and with master chiefs help save the day. (who'd think of cortana going all bad girl on him eh?)
i like your idea too by the way but i doubt GS has that kind of power and why not take the index while he has the opportunity (heck if he can tap into cortana he is obviously the superior A.I, even if he is insane)

I meant that he would physically steal Cortana, but would have trouble tapping into her because of her being a better AI, or just was waiting until MC was destroyed to be sure that the humans were doomed or something like that. Payback is a -blam!-, man.

Or something like one of the other Spartans being captured and taken prisoner (Covenant wants to see how the Spartans are killing so many of their people, so they wont kill the Spartans if they are caught) and you and the other Spartans have to rescue him

That would be only one plot twist out of the 100 in the game :P

A even better plot twist would be to see the "other program" that Cornel Akerson was working on. Maybe they were robots, sent to destroy the covevant, and since the Cornel hates the spartans, YOU! And they'll look like spatans but with chunkier armour and round helmets (without the two things jutting out of their top of their helmets) not that like that isn't a cool thing though, it would just make them look considerably different from a spartan.

colonel ackersons project is his own army of spartans, noot robots. read the council meeting in first strike when it slips out. i think there clones of the originals because he was researching into flash cloning and had profiles of at least kelly's dna. its all in first strike.

Or Ackerson would simply set them to kill MC and lure him into a trap. 343 and Ackerson working together?! I LOVE IT!!!!! All we need now is Sgt. Johnson learning how to break dance on New Mombasa, and we got ourselves a good old soap opera.

Zamamee I know it was in FS but maybe he finally figures out that it takes a little bit more than human soldiers to take out MC, so he uses guilty sparks engineering plans and Earth's resources to make a giant robot slaying machine. Maybe the robot isn't such a good idea, but hey, it's a start...

The covinant can't give cortana eternal life- she will die, because all smart AI's think themselves to death in about 7 years of life

I could see you winding up working for a tabliod newspaper or being a writer for some soap opra: tonight, betrayal, new allances, and 343 GS back from the dead to seek revenge on our hero MC. tonight a 8:00

Or how about a NEW race, the flood but bigger and badder maybe? And the Covenant join forces with Humans to defeat that new race. Hey! Its a thought! (when you beat Halo on legendary, you get that skit where Sarge is hugging an Elite as Halo blows up... Hmmmm)

I remember reading somewhere that AIs don't die, but reach a point where they spend all their time thinking and lose touch with the world around them.

Maybe they just held Cortana at gun-point and said something like: "Help us kill the green warriors, or we'll kill you." So she helps the Covies set up a trap, thinking that MC can survive on his own. But while she is held captive, she gets some data on the Covies and learns everything we need to know. So the Spartans come, kill all the Covenant holding her, save Cortana, and head off for the Covie home planet. Brilliant!

how do you know for sure? their technology is centuries ahead of ours. heck its more possible than giant robots set out to kill master chief. the covenant might just fake it to get what they want, whatever. at the end of the day its possible because covie tech rules.

she's a hologram! not solid and if you mean at her chip or whatever the covies would rather give it to their engineer lab boys than destroy human tech that is actually useful. in first strike they start using their own A.I's

Yeah, but the Covenant will get pretty desperate, because MC and the boys' (other spartans) will have already killed a few prophets and screwed around with the Covenant badly.

I'm still thinking that Cornel Akerson's "project is going to come into play. Okay, MAYBE no killer robots, maybe he want's to find a way to geneticly alter marines or ODSTs and fit them into a modified version of the MOJLINOR or how ever you spell it .
