Subject: Why does cortana look so ridiculously different?

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

I wonder if they will retconn Origins. It would be a shame if they did, Origins is the best Halo Legends episode and a great piece of storytelling.


I'm sure they won't. Cortana's rampancy may well be a central part to the plot of Halo 4.

The fact of the matter is she looks absolutely horrible. No excuses.

Idiots.

First off the trailer is CGI not the actual engine

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

JEEZ THIS IS JUST LIKE WHEN SHE COMPLETELY CHANGED BETWEEN HALO: CE AND HALO 2!!!!!!

She's an AI. She can probably change her appearance whenever she feels like it. If she's Metastable, maybe she wanted to try a new look?


Wait.

So is Cortana metastable or not? Where does that theory stand?

  • 07.07.2011 8:50 AM PDT

It's just a CGI trailer and a a lot of creative freedoms were taken.

I'm pretty sure that theory is still unconfirmed.

Rampancy doesn't = death. Hell going past the 7 years doesn't = rampancy.

Rubble Smart AI anybody? She was over 7 years old and wasn't crazy, or dying. Who knows, Cortana's had the chance, maybe she found ways in the forerunner data to extend her life, or get closer to metastability. Anyway, I'm for that theory cause Cortana was forced into Rampancy already by gravemind, and she recovered.

That means she'll look worse. I get what you're trying to say, though.

I agree with you, themadmanmarz.

How is she going to look worse when she will be in the helmet most of the game?

Forget that -blam!-, where's Jen Taylor?!?!?!?!?!!!!! =(


That was Jen Taylor. We've just never heard Cortana scream before.

I spoke to God today. He said trust in Him. All others pay cash

I would just say that she can probably change her appearance

Not if it's a new trilogy like they say. They wouldn't wipe her out of the story this soon.

Huh? she won't die the second she goes rampant, it could take months

  • 07.07.2011 9:56 AM PDT

I'd wait to see her in the Halo 4 game engine. That actually should be around August 28th or so.

It makes no sense cause they've been in space how could she change so much she looks ridiculous.


Okay well firstly she's not even physical so she could grow a -blam!- and it would make sense, secondly, she has a new voice actor apparently.

343 has 3 panels at pax. Halo CEA, Halo Universe, and Halo 4. I expect Halo 4 gameplay at the Halo 4 panel.

@accordingto343

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

Even if it's a CGI trailer, they could've done better.

Halo CE Cortana

Halo 3 Cortana

She's already changed a lot. Why be so mad with one more change?
Maybe because she looks like a bad cosplay.

She can change her appearance whenever she likes.

Technically, she shouldn't even BE "alive" remember? She went rampant at the end of Halo Legends and rampancy almost always ends in the "death" of said rampant AI.


I really don't think she's Rampant and I don't think that Origins even really supports that, seeing as Cortana was not exhibiting any of the signs of Rampancy at all. Personally I think she already went through it while under the influence of the Gravemind, she went through several of the phases of Rampancy while in his clutches (may have been all of them, not entirely sure). Then when Chief found her she went completely back to normal, I think she has either entered Meta-stability or is pretty damn close to it at least.

And Rampancy does not equal immediate death, it's not even certain that an AI will go Rampant when exactly seven years have passed from their "birth". That's just an average, and while they're usually close, and average is not always completely accurate.
