In the trailer, she was flickering in and out, so WTF happened to her?

Do you think Gravemind did something to her in the end of Halo 2?

Carrots.

I think he is sending a messege through Cortana, which means Cortana is actualy letting him send the messege, so she's sided with him! Evil Cortana! Well... maybe the flood or gravemind became our allies... so I would say just naughty Cortana.

Well we know she was slightly corrupted in the Alpha Halo Control Room. But how can Gravemind, something that controls Flood possibly torture a AI construct?

I think that GM is a good guy... just because he's flood doesn't mean he has control over all the mindless "little" flood.

I think Cortana is "distorted" because of the huge distance she's trying to communicate with the chief from, and the reason we hear GM's voice in there is because the first part is what he's trying to tell the Chief.

In the end i think GM will end up being "the" Forerunner who created the flood and helped make the halos whos' real purpose was to Kill the Flood but the Halos were set off by The Forerunner after GM was turned into a flood. Unknowingly when they set off the rings the forerunner were missing the two indexes that "aim" the rings just at the flood and instead killed all life except the flood on the rings.

GM also being a Forerunner? Apprently Forerunners are Humans, and in no way does GM resemble a human.
But your Cortana theory does make sense. Even if Cortana is getting corupted by whatever causes, which i believe she is. I don't believe MC will travel back to High Chairty to rescue her. It was Cortanas choice to stay on High Charity. So dont you think she knew about the presence of GM? But do humans have the capability of SSR? I know that Truth's ship can do it.

Gravemind has the ability to manipulate AIs.

Cortana reeks of corruption in the trailer.

AIs can feel pain, just like they are attuned to five senses like any normal being.

Gravemind can control the Flood. Even the Infection Forms(you can see this at the Library, those Infection Forms don't attack you, as they are scurrying to a more important objective that is to stop Keyes and Johnson).

Gravemind is Flood. Therefore, it is not to be trusted whether he seems reasonable at first(not even "looks can be deceiving" works here). Besides, it's known later on that he used the MC and the Arbiter. Trusting Gravemind is like sticking your hand into a feral tiger cage.

A corrupt AI just like Bungie's other games

Cortana being corrupted might be part of it. But like deathomen said, she was distorted becuase of the distance.

I don't really see how Cortana could be controlled by Gravemind since she's an AI, but she definitely didn't seem to be herself in the trailer. Even when it was just her talking in the trailer (and not Gravemind or whatever that deep voice was) she sounded a lot different from Halo 1 and 2. I wonder if they changed voice actors or something?

I recently came across something called the Cortana letters. At first I thought they were something for Halo, similar to the message Cortana left at the end of Conversations from the Universe. There seemed to be a lot of references to Halo-type stuff in them, but then I read the dates on them and they appeared to be from 1999. Apparently, they were written for a Bungie game called Marathon. If anyone can shed a light on this, that would be great.

Durandal took control of her.



Actually I doubt that's true, but it would be interesting.

It was the distance. Point: Don't you sound different when your talking to someone across the country on a cellphone under in a tunnel?

Don't like something I post? Please call my complaint department at 1-800-IDC-STFU.

100% of signature statistics are fake. If you put this in your sig I'll sue you for copyright infringement.
Thats not a statistic btw, thats a FACT.

Heres my theory:

Cortana is still on High Charity- or whats left of it anyway- along with the gravemind. Because she is so far away and because High Charity is so -blam!- up at the moment, she can only send short data bursts which are corrupted either at send or in transit. The Gravemind does have the ability to control cortana to some extent: after all, if you'll recall in the cinematic where we meet the Gravemind, he has captured and controls 2401 Peninent Tangent, the monitor of installation 005 (Delta Halo). However, 2401 still had a lot fo his own will, so its possible Gravemind will use cortana to control any systems still running in High Charity, and no doubt keep her from detonating In Amber Clads reactors. You ask me, Cortanas gonna be seen a lot less in Halo 3, but I have a feeling shes gonna appear somehow at the end.

And no, Gravemind did not -blam!- cortana. Jesus Christ, what is it with you n00bs and the sex jokes?

July 15, 2008... The day the timer stood still.

I've seen these threads so many rimes that I don't even wanna bother figuring it out. I'm just gonna wait a year and play the game to find out.

I am thinking that Cortana's visual effects were for the viewers pleasure. It makes the game more enticing. Do not read much into it.
