Wendy, What i tell you? Get out of dat pool.
NEEEEEEYAAAAAAAAA
*Serious time, with james, Ba da dadudoo.

Okay, so at the end of Halo 3, when you are gunning for the portal. (Long time since i've played it, so i cant go into details)
Cortana says "If we don't make it, its been an honor serving with you, john" So that means if the ship doesn't make it through the portal. Cortana, John and the arbiter will die.
After the credits we see the ship halved, arbiter made it to earth.
So, John and cortana did not make it through the portal, but they are alive and are no-longer anywhere near the halo ring.
That must mean that they made it through the portal, but for an unknown reason, the ship halved and their half did not make it to earth, but it was the portal which would've halved them if only the first half made it through.
So they made it through the portal, but didn't... make it through the portal xD
If anyone understood that, and knows where i am coming from, can anyone answer exactly what happened?
Me and a few friends were debating this in a game of reach a few days ago, and no-one knew the answer. Any help would be great thanks :D

Well, they could have gone through the portal, but not all the way through. Or, they didn't go through at all and just made it far enough away.

I haven't played the Campaign in a while, so I don't know either.

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

They did make it through, however Mendicant Bias had John and Cortana redirected to a different location which is why the Dawn was split in two.

TFLW

Half of the ship made it through, and they were far enough away from Installation 00 to survive the blast/huge explosion. The thing with Mendicant Bias, I don't know where you read that but it 'could' be true. Source please? Interesting idea...
