Master Chief doesn't sleep. He waits.

Master Chief finishes fights before they even start.

Master Chief doesn't fail. He just wanted to kill everyone a second time.

ULTIMATE FAILURE.

Something to remember: AIs, especially smart AIs, during rampancy can very rarely achieve "metastability" - that is becoming a completely independent consciousness in their own right. The likelihood of this occuring is possibly increased with Cortana having advanced Forerunner technology involved in her creation, as well as being a direct copy of Halseys very human brain. It can be theorised that this rampancy and metastability happened either in High Charity (as shown by her turning green during a Cortana moment) or during Master Chiefs time in cryosleep aboard the Dawn. An interesting possibility that this opens up is that of greater character building conversation between the Chief and a now completely human (at least mentally) Cortana.

@ kevlarcasm

Yes but how much time had passed between the standard finale and the legendary finale??
this is what we should be asking.

"Question. Which Spartan is best?"
"That's a ridiculous question."
"False. Master Chief."
"Well, that's debatable. There are basically two schools of thought."
"Spartans shoot Sangheili. Spartans. Sangheili.....Battle Star Galactica."

how does the thing in the trailer look anything like the planet at the end of H3. I would say the only similarity is they're both probably ancient.

Cortnana would have not necessarily gone rampant. she was far more advanced then most AIs. the one in cole protocol was several yrs past 7. plus it could be argued that she has already been through rampancy.



This! Also I thought the thing in the trailer looks more like a mega-ship than a planet.

He was already kind of close to the planet at the end of Halo 3. It can't have been too long.
Yeah, but how much time passed between the normal finale, and legendary finale?

True true on that..

  • 06.08.2011 11:07 AM PDT

Nothing to see here, move along.

He's probaly been in cryo for a few years.

I reckon Cortana is still fine because either:
1) Shes not your average smart AI and has found metastability.
or
2) She deactivated herself and just left some basic sensors/protocols online to activate herself if anything unusual happened.

As for John's armour.

He probaly forgot to put his crotch piece back on after having a piss.

I can't believe that some people still doubt that he had been in cryo for years,just watch Halo legends.

In Origins he was out cold 5 years.

It's possible they'll keep the Bungieness there and I'd say he's been out 7.


If that were true, then Cortana would have already died. Smart AI's like her end up becoming corrupt and "think themselves to death" after about 7 years from the time they were created.


Not quite, that's a common misconception there is a high risk of Rampancy after 7 years and for that reason the UNSC deletes AIs after 7 years. We don't know how long a smart AI can live when left alone, but it's definitely longer than 7 years, just read Cole Protocol, Juliana is older than 7 and functioning completely like normal, aside from being rampant. Thinking themselves to death and going Rampant are completely different things.

Plus she's meta-stable now.

So she could function for a long, long time.

Space is a big place. It takes light 4 days to travel from Jupiter to us. Pretty sure a drifting ship is slower than light. It could take a little while, and we don't know how the thing really is; the light surrounding the planet at the end of H3 does a good job of distorting distance.

You're a mod, you should be used to that.

can you imagine if chief came back to earth somehow and humanity was gone?

  • 06.08.2011 1:41 PM PDT

Yes, I'm a furry. And yes, I like men. So what?

Probably a couple of weeks, judging by the fact that the planet(oid) in both H3 and the H4 trailer look exactly the same.

Sigh, are you mentally handicapped? It showed master chief going to sleep and then it flipped to the planet, we still don't know how long of a gap that is.

About 10 minutes and then Cortana, once again -blam!-es his ear off. The man can't even nap.


LOL, i would laugh if that actually came true.

  • 06.08.2011 2:28 PM PDT

I think 5 years would be a good idea. That's how long it's been since Halo 3.
