I have recently read Halo:The Fall of Reach and came across a little tidbit of info.
Dr. Halsey said that 'smart' AI's like Cortana will die after about 7 years after being created, because she stops functioning because shes thinking too much. Well normally that would'nt be a problem, but after being in the control center and learning about the forerunners maybe it might be too much info and maybe during Halo 2, she will die or something.

Thoughts?

Bungie will leave it open ended on Cortana's death and many other things. I can see it now.

No, I havent read "First Strike, but its on my to do list, but I'm trying to get a hold on "The Flood" first but my local bookstores are sold out at the moment ='(

Bu the thing is, Cortana can be replaced again because Halsey cloned her brain, and thats where cortana comes from so she can be made again, maybe they should make an army of cortanas!

WARNING NOT REALLY A SPOILER BUT MAY CAUSE HEART BREAK:





well in 1st strike it says that no matter how many times she is copied/cloned she will always have the same life span 'cos the inter-communication(or something) is also copied, and that is what causes them to "die" so it is inevitable. although........... ill let you read that

just curious, but what the hell is an army of cortana's gonna do?
so far the only person she has killed is me, when i started killing myself after being driven to insanity, however, a cortana in every elite's head could be very effective

cortana is an AI, elites donot have MJOLNIR armour and wear combat armour. they do not have neural ports like spartans have, so cortana has no way of getting in. she can probs hack their shield systems tho.

I seem to remember her drawing 500 ships towards a single installation with ERROR codes and such...I guess she installed Windows XP Home Edition. Yeah bring down the entire Covenant Battlenet.

well actually i think cortana can last longer than a standard a.i.. It said most a.i.'s die after seven years, but most a.i.'s are based off of a dead brain, and like it was said earlier Cortana was made using a clone of Dr. Halsey's brain. So yeah she may die but not for a long time.

also, if we find the forerunner (cough*human*cough) technology, there may be a way considering, looks how long 343GS lasted, millions of years, so im sure they have a better memory capacity or some type of thing that increases her lifes longevity, but anyhow, if she dies, it'll probably be at the end, but i doubt it, again look at 343, and hes still kinda funny after all those years

I don't know about that. The Master Chief has been able to function efficiently without Cortana for 41 years. Aside from using and taking advantage of information and taking control of John's brain to make some of his actions more efficient, he really can function just fine without her.

no she didnt do that. the Covie Fleet came closer to the Unyielding Hierophant because Admiral Whitcomb and Lieutenant Haverson took the Ascendant Justice and crashed it into the Hierophant,and then broadcast an image of the crystal found on Reach to them. they fell for it and they surrounded the ship in an attempt to get it. but she did do the erreo thing,but im not sure what for. maybe you can clear that up for me?


and if Cortana isnt destroyed,she will die in 2559

Just because she can die doesn't mean she will in the game. Just because the MC can die doesn't mean he will either.

ummm..........little tidbit here,youre a jackass. you might know half of what goes on in the book if you beat the game. there is so much more,that they added. and no its not fan fiction either,so dont blow it off. Everything in the books comes from the Halo Bible at Bungie,and the authors just elaborate on it to make it a story,so if you dont get it,you will not understand First Strike
