I have a question.

My question regards the Story of Halo.

Is Cortana bad or good? It has been awhile since I' ve played the Single Player of both Halo and Halo 2. All of my friends say that in the end of Halo 2 that she tells the flood lord something that can destroy and jeopardize human life.

Is this right? I never remember getting any vibe that posed her as a bad character.

Can someone give me a brief review of what exactly is happening!?

One game I'm not joking a little like 7 year old said and I quote " tell me what your dick looks like so I can imagine it in my head and beat off to it"

If Team Swat became ranked, would there still be no shields?


Amazing!

Re-play them.

no, shes pretty much a good character. like when she stopped you from activating the first halo. that wasn't very evil was it?

Remember Reach

ok from what i can remember, the original jump to the first halo was not a blind jump, cortana meant to go there, then stuff happened and they blew it up. then at the end of halo 2 she seems kindda jumpy and evolving more and more. and she seems very, suspicious at the final cutscene

Read the very bottom of this link. It's a transcript of the end of Halo 2

She isn't necessarily "good" or "bad".. If she goes Rampant, she could possibly be bad.

Cortana didn't make a "blind jump" but also didnt know where she was going: she was using coords found in that rock. Like following a chart to an island you didn't know was there.

I don't think she told gravemind anything because gravemind seems to have an attitude towards speaking more himself nowdays. He has alot to say and in my oppinion cortana listens.

She does seem suspicious , so that is why I questioned her alignment.
If she does turn bad , there will be alot of damage done , on account of all of her knowledge on Earth, all records , and humans.

Key Word!!! Rampancy. If Cortana does go rampant, then a million different stories and curves in the plotline are possible.

Hopefully you all know what Rampancy is, but it's basically the equivallent of an AI going insane. If you want the entire low-down, play some Marathon.

But does Rampancy even exist in the world of HALO?

Then, also in FIRST STRIKE the first HALO book I remember there being a passage about how cortana would die or eventually just suffer a system failure due to the mass amount of information she's gathered. Does anyone happen to have the book on hand and write out the passage?

The isn't much of Earth left to do damage to, is there? And I'm not saying she is bad but she is holding back stuff.

She called herself the Chiefs sword and shield in the teaser trailer. To me that makes her allied with him.

Okay, just wondering if all the Banshees flying like within 8 yards of Cheif and not even flinching is a sign of like being allied? Or is it just that way, becuase?
