Subject: Is Cortana dreaming?

Skillet was here and referred to himself in the third person.

Anyone else notice that around 24 seconds into the trailer the Chief materializes out of thin air? It's before it shows Cortana flashing around. Since Cortana says that she knoews the future of how the world ends...maybe she's dreaming?

And like I said...the Chief appears out of a cloud of smoke...he's not there one second...then a cloud of smoke passes by and he's there! You can't see him that good but he's there!

2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Doubt it...

I think he's got a valid point with the materialization...but I doubt if it's a dream. Cortana's not sentient enough to do so.

Perhaps his active camo wore off?

lol, look at the dust, the MC is there, just a shadow though

I think it's just for dramatic effect trailer-wise.

He materializes out of nowhere, plus he travels pretty damn far every time the smoke clears...so...I think it's just for effect, not really about the story.

If it's about the story though, then I guess this is an adequate explanation.....maybe...

I don't exactly know about the dream part...it's just a theory.

But the part where the Chief comes out of thin air is real...it shows a road and the camera is zooming out...then a puff of smoke goes past and the Chief is slowly walking towards the camera...and he wasn't there before!

I also think Cotana could be dreaming those things...like she's hearing Gravemind echo in her head...or maybe she's become telepathic?

"On the seventh day, god did not rest, but rather he created 64 player multiplayer!"

I agree completely. Just a dramatic effect that's been done in a lot of movies.

It's actually at around 22 seconds when the Chief appears...and at 21 he's NOT walking on the road!

You FOOLS, look down the road, not at the squeeky sign... or the sky... he is far down the road in the distance.

or the gravemind is showing her something and he is still questioning her.

I know! But right before the "squeeky sign" part he isn't there! Then a very thick cloud of dust passes the road and the Chief slowly appears behind it...it's also marked with a slow building of dramatic music right before it happens.

I've been around these parts for almost eight years now...wow! Maybe I should be concerned about that...

AI's don't dream...they have revelations. Cortona is going rampant and she wants to be God. I think that she and Durundal are friends.

Hug it out!

Actually, he is there from the beginning of the trailer, but all the way in the back walking. As the camera pans back, you can see him come closer.

You've never seen this in movies? other games?

I just watched for like...the 20th time...I think the part about the active camo could be true.

If you watch it closely...the Chief's head slowly starts to become visible right before the dust cloud...then the dust passes over it and the rest of his body becomes a shadow behind the cloud..when the cloud passes there is a slight more tense nature to the music since you can actually see the Chief.

you spelled rampant wrong

You guys need to look at this alot more broadly, or at least visit a few deserts. There is a slight glimmer, enough to conceal someone wear tan armor. This is a mirage. They occur quite often. He gets closer and closer and "appears out of thin air" because he begins to get closer and the farther away, the more concealed. Also a result of the mirage is the dust clears and he appears closer. Kinda like the thing you find on cars ("objects in mirror are closer than they appear") but the opposite. You guys really should know this.

Cortana is evil. Just the way I like it. And chief, is well chief. He will kick your ass.

actually it loox as if mc is walkin toward the camera from a distance (a very, very long distance). i looked it over a couple of times and im pretty sure he is just far away and then it comes into focus.
