Send me a group invite, and I shall return a harsh reply. Do not invite me to groups. I do not accept. Don't believe me? Look at the list of groups I'm in right now. Consider this your warning.

If you have not read the books, then you might not understand what I am talking about. In short I believe Cortana has reached the end of her effective life, and is basically going to die in Halo 3. Why do I believe this? In the book it says that she is a "smart AI" which means that she has an effective lifespan of about 7 years, depending on how much she is used. In Halo: First Strike, Master Chief notices some minor glitches and realizes that she is approaching the end of her lifespan. Than, given the fact that she saved all of the data from the first Halo, and all the other thing she has done, that further shortens her life. Then , in the video, she has a sort of broken appearance and is hard to understand, as if she is having a hard time functioning. In the end of Halo 2, she tells Master Chief to leave her behind, and that could be because she knows that she is about to die, and will be useless should the Covenant capture her, and she could help a lot more if she stays. Thoughts?

That's very true, but she took precautions to avoid that. Being in the second halo, and at the end with Gravemind it's very likely that she accumulated too much data.

This is a good point as well. Makes you wonder though: If she dies at the beginning of Halo 3, what will be her equivelent.
