Subject: No Cortana in Reach

Without me, it's just "Aweso".

Remember that this game occurs before Cortana is integrated with Master Chief's armor at l halo. At the supposed time of Reach, she had only been with John once before during training, but they are separated soon after.

Who will give us battlefield info?

My bet is Halsey.

An excerpt from halopedia:

Cortana first met the Master Chief prior to the Battle of Reach, when she was integrated into his new MJOLNIR Mark V armor. Together, Cortana and the Chief passed a test that was devised by Colonel James Ackerson. The test included armed ODSTs, anti-tank mines, automatic turrets in the razor field, and even a SkyHawk for an air strike. After the test, Cortana was installed into the Pillar of Autumn for the mission she was created for. While aboard she took her revenge on Colonel Ackerson by hacking into his system and blackmailing him, hoping that this would send him back to the front lines.

Cortana's primary mission was to aid the Spartans in the infiltration of a Covenant vessel and the capturing of a Covenant Prophet. The UNSC would then try to bargain with the Covenant for a peace treaty.

Cortana is around when master chief gets the MJOLNIR Mark V or earlier actually.

But most likely his Intel will be from his team mates now he is with other spartans

i'd say another spartan will be telling you what to do. or maybe Jacob Keyes.

Yes, but she was still on board the Autumn in preparation for the kidnapping of a prophet.

Why does Cortana say at the beginning of Halo 3 that she could've chosen any spartan but she chose john because he had luck? John was the only spartan on the pillar of autumn that Cortana could've gone to, she didn't have a choice so I bet that cortana and John have worked together before and that's when she chose john.

cortana was around at this time, she first met the chief on reach so i wouldn't be suprised if she was in this

Fav. Games: Halo, Marathon, Gears of War, Guitar Hero, CoD4, Rockband, Super Smash Bros(all 3), Legend of Zelda, and alot more that isn't right off the top of my head. ^-^

The game, if starring the chief, will probably follow his early life where he was doing rebel mission to the first time he gets the armor to the first time he meets Cortana. Chief has Cortana before Reach falls.

It will follow the Fall of Reach book PROBABLY, so I am assuming his teammates.

???
The only reason John was the only one on the Autumn was because he was the only one who made it. Several more were supposed to be there.

Cortana is in Reach just at the end ; ). If you read the book that is.

Yes, but she does not play the same role as in the games.

I'd say Halsey is a fair guess, it makes sense.

  • 06.01.2009 1:27 PM PDT

Halsey is awesome too.

  • 06.01.2009 1:28 PM PDT

i'd say if you play as spartans u take orders from captain keyes or admiral cole (not sure if he was in charge at reach). I can understand taking orders from keyes cause all the spartans were on the autumn just before reach got attacked.

  • 06.01.2009 1:29 PM PDT

I think cortana will be in this. This is where MC was trained, and picked by cortana.

  • 06.01.2009 1:29 PM PDT

I'm pretty sure that both Hasley and Cortana are around at this time.
I literally finished Fall of Reach yesterday so I really should know...

Yes, but as I've been saying, Cortana will not play the same role as she used to. She is now a minor sideline character.
