"Screaming" then static.... “I Have Defied Gods and Demons..."

“I am your Shield; I am your Sword..."

"I know you, Your Past, Your Future...."

"This is the Way the World Ends."

wonder what it all means... hmmm.


I have some Ideas. I believe that she has figured out there is no point in the struggle between the three sides (well now 4) There may be a mind blowing loop that Bungie is setting us up for. Something along the lines of this happening over and over and over throughout history. The Forerunners, The flood, The Covenant... all have a single purpose... to keep the loop going. Cortana doesn't want anything to do with it, and found a way out.

She's creepy in this trailer. I think someone's gone the way of 343 Guilty Spark.

You notice the deep undertones in the voice too? Sounds Gravemindish.

It could also be that she is speaking ABOUT the Master Cheif....

He has defied alot of odds, and has been the Sheild and Sword for Humanity.

I think Earth is going to be destroyed, which will be an interesting story twist...

The quote of "I have defined Gods and Demons" was said by Gravemind in Halo 2 if you play his voice backwards. There is definitly a connection and Gravemind has told Cortana know something big.

i think she was reached her limit and is degenerating.
the new update hinted at "her current state of mind" and the books always made a big point about how AI's breakdown and her life may have been shortened

As for my interpetaion

- defying the gods is cortana now belives in the covente pholosphy and defies the gods by doing something she knows is right. OR gods and demons having refrence to humanity by gods covenate and demons humans or vice versa she has done something that will effect all of humanitiy.

- Shiled and sword is obvious that she is the protector of the chief or humans.

-know you and the past and the future is quite tough, i'd say this means she knows the chief and knows his past and using foreunner tech in someway knows his future as she may be deciding it for him in some way.

-the way the world ends well...... well nobody knows.

Also anyone else feel like the chief and cortana are going to die?

I think she is actually based on technology built by the forerunners and that the huge blue explosion is the ark being activated....

Do none of you have a sense of humour?
We do, this just isn't funny.

When she says: I Have Defied Gods and Demons.

When she says Demons, it is Gravemind saying it.

Also, you remember the Halo 3 script from AGES ago... the trailer looks like something from that script.

Maybe:

MC has amnesia and Cortana will help him with his past and future, and protect him.

Gravemind has taken over Cortana, and now is trying to help MC Save the world, help the universe.

Cortana is back willing to help MC with his tasks. She is smarter, and maybe enhanced by Gravemind.

If i remember correclty she was captured at the end of halo 2, idk it was a long time ago. If so she's probably under the control of the covenant trying to destroy the earth in my view.

Yes, after the credits in Halo 2, you see a special cutscene with Cortana in the Holy City. Which Gravemind has taken over. Gravemind and Cortana talk for a short time. If you listen closely to "I have defied gods and demons," you can here Gravemind's voice in the background saying the same thing.

Maybe these are representing characters:

“I Have Defied Gods and Demons" - Truth

“I am your Shield; I am your Sword" - Master Cheif

"I know you, Your Past, Your Future" - Gravemind

"This is the Way the World Ends" - Cortana

The first one is a direct quote from the Cortona Letters.

it sounded to me more like she says "I am your shield, I am your source" but, sword seems to make more sense. also, the line "I have defied gods and demons" it does sound like gravemind, but it could also be distortion during the comunication.

  • 05.09.2006 3:32 PM PDT

is she jesus?
