YOU'RE STILL ALIVE?!?

Since we will probably play as new Spartans (I'd rather play as the ones from the books) I think we should have an AI that would be in charge of these Spartans. But instead of the AIs that care for people (like Cortona) I think it would be fun if we had an AI like Durandal from Marathon.

Here is an example:

You (Spartan 259) and your team is in a Pelican on your way to your next mission. On the radio an ONI AI tells the pilots to go and secure an incredibly dangerous area on the planet for reasons that sound supid or unreasonable. Your commanding officer, who is also on the Pelican, starts to say stuff like "-BLAM- you!" or "I'm not risking my men!" or something like that. All of a sudden your Pelican jerks to a different direction and your pilots don't have control any more. Then the next thing you know you are were the AI said he wanted you to be. Your Pelican crashes and you and your team is stranded. So while you're there you complete the AI's mission and he gives you a comment like "We should do this more often."

I think this would be a nice addition to the list of Marathon references in Halo.

Who said it was a Spartan?

We got Jackals in the courtyard!

that sounds pretty sweet. i think over powered government AI could be really cool (not literally!) like if your going the wrong way in a vehicle, he makes you lose control and turn around.

Awesome!

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

If it fits the story.

I doubt that the UNSC would tolerate a Rampant AI during a critical assault on their lynchpin colony.
