To all of you saying SI might go rampant, rampancy is mainly a smart AI thing - SI's a 'dumb' AI.

That's not nice but seriously You're right
Smart AIs are complicated AIs that speak and act like normal humans, and can accomplish very complex tasks - such as Cortana. Dumb AIs are AIs programmed to do simpler tasks like driving garbage trucks, changing signs, sending emergency aid (911), etc. and are not programmed to act like humans - such as the Super.

I'm not making fun of him, in fact my two favorite ODST characters are Mickey and Super.

I can only please one person per day.

Today isn't your day.

Tomorrow isn't looking too good either.

We have seen four at least.

Cortana, Guilty Spark(Installation, Penitent Tangent (Installation 05), and Mecidant Bias (Installation 00/The Ark).

In the books, there are two more, the one from Cole Protocol and one from First Strike.

22nd cutscene

How is this not considered going rampant? He basically tries to kill the only reclaimers that can stop the flood risking the fate of the universe.


That not the case if you notice any human could active the ring. Not just MC.

Actually I think you'll find the superintendant is referred to as a "dumb AI" not because he is not smart (he basically runs the entire city) but because he is incable of speech, hence communicating through visual messages rather than speech.

In the days of old, there were legends of a land long lost to time. This land was known as Ranna'Mor. Ranna'Mor was said to contain in its borders 7 warriors. These warriors had once unleashed a veritable hell upon the ancient world, until they were locked away. My name is Toriad, and I am one of those warriors. Our return is approaching. Do not run away, do not cower in fear; take solace in your final days, for that is all we can do. -Legend of Ranna'Mor

He speaks in the level with Dutch (as shown at E3). He's a "dumb" A.I. because he can only do what his programming allows.

Cortana seemed pretty rampant to me...... Especially the crossed fingers bit in Halo 2.

SI can't go rampant, he is a dumb AI, and he is simply badly damaged. Only smart AIs have the capacity to go rampant.

I hadn't noticed this, I'll check the video again though...

EDIT: Ok I watched the video and I see what you mean, but these are just prerecorded messages. When I say he is incapable of speech I mean he can't create an original sentence.

Ah, I can see it now:
Romeo: SI, we have to blow up this garbage dump full of Covenant. Otherwise they will take Earth!
SI: But an explosion will destroy the city! Destroy this dump!
SI drops a pile of garbage on Romeo, picks him up with a magnet, puts him in a car crusher, and crushes him.
SI: You do not deserve this dump! I have kept it safe! It belongs to me!
The Rookie walks in.
Rookie: What the hell is this?
SI drops garbage on Rookie, who falls to his knees.
Fight ensues between Rookie and SI. Rookie is losing, but SI is wounded by Romeo, who shot his databanks with a sniper rife.
Rookie walks over to Romeo. Romeo hands him his sniper rifle. Romeo is obviously mortally wounded.
Romeo: Kick his ass.
Rookie kicks SIs metaphorical ass.
Rookie: I am getting you out of here.
Romeo: No, no your not. Send me out... with a bang.
Romeo dies. Rookie set the charges, and blows up the dump.
Waiting outside is Buck.
Buck: I am sorry, ODST. But come.
Rookie and Buck fight their way to Romeo's parked Warthog, and escape the city in it.
The End.

Guilty Spark didn't go rampant, MC was not just going to destroy Halo, but also the Ark.

"Apparently people don't like the truth, but I do like it; I like it because it upsets a lot of people. If you show them enough times that their arguments are bull-blam!-, then maybe just once, one of them will say, 'Oh! Wait a minute I was wrong.' I live for that happening. Rare, I assure you."-Lemmy of Motorhead

i belive shhave funzes suppos

Yes, I'm the guy who had the Flood admit to being furries.

You have, her name is Cortana. Mendicant Bias can also be considered rampant to an extent.

THANK YOU! The only way he would become rampant (and watch, bungie will make me eat these words) is someone makes him a smart AI if that's even possible, or if we've been lied to and he is already a smart AI.

I think 24-01 Penitent Tangent was a little rampant, as well.

  • 07.27.2009 3:49 PM PDT

I am human, I am good and bad as well. But I try my hardest to stay good. And some of the things I do and say may be bad. Or just not too good, but I do try.

So with that said I don't fault you. I mean your only human, good or bad.

343 Guilty Spark, I mean come on he kills Johnson, enough said

  • 07.27.2009 11:32 PM PDT

Ok if someone can prove to me there is such a thing in the halo universe as a "smart AI" then I will admit to being wrong but I still think the SI is a dumb AI because he cannot speak other than certain pre-recorded messages.
Note how on the bridge he doesn't say "You can't blow up the bridge" he says "KEEP IT CLEAN! RESPECT PUBLIC PROPERTY!", hardly the most literal phrase he could have chosen, he's using an anti-vandalism/littering message to convey what he means.

What I'm trying to say is he's smart enough to go rampant.

Hush. If you’re quiet enough, you can hear it on lips of unborn babes.

Cortana, 343 GS, and Mendicant Bias all went rampant at one point in time in the Halo series.

Cortana did go Rampant in Halo 3.
Yes, she did but she didn't go rampant permanently

Uh...hello?
Guilty Spark?


He wasn't rampant he was doing his job.

Then why did he start pulling a Gollum?

To the OP, the Superintendent would only go rampant if he was hacked or damaged, he is only a dumb AI.
