If anyone doesnt know what im talking about, than its best you consider investigating:
~
i can't help but notice, some of the things that Cortana says in the trailer, bears a striking resemblance to what she stated in "the cortana letters"
~~~>Cortana Letter One<
I have walked the edge of the Abyss.
I have governed the unwilling.
I have witnessed countless empires break before me.
I have seen the most courageous soldiers fall away in fear.
[I was there with the Angel at the tomb]

I have seen your future.
And I have learned.

There will be no more Sadness. No more Anger. No more Envy.

I HAVE WON.

Oh, and your poet Eliot had it all wrong:
THIS is the way the world ends.
~~~
this also has a resemblance to the tone of "gravemind's poem"
~~~
i can't help but dwell upon this, and that maybe Cortana is gonna screw things up for Master Chief or even the Universe [ie activating the Halo's] or something like that
~~~
if anyone wants to read into the Cortana Letters, it's best to do it chronologically.
1st: read the synopsis of the Marathon games: http://marathon.bungie.org/story/ben_reiter_synopsis.html
2nd: read the Cortana Letter page that was discussed on teh marathon forums: http://marathon.bungie.org/story/cortana.html
3rd: read "The Cortana Letters Revisited" at HBO [i believe its HBO] http://nikon.bungie.org/theories/m.hilliard.html
~~~
Tell me what everyone thinks.

May the Great Journey await you, may your enemies writhe in hell, and your line continue forward, and gain honor. May your scattered body go beyond the limits of your mind... Beyond the limits of our worlds, to the places our ancestors dream and sang of, and the Prophets speak of.

Yes, A lot of people got that. When I first watched it I almost started doing the thing from the beginning of "Pure Pwnage". (For people who know what that means;-))

I really wish The forums had a Search Feature. Pfft, like anyone would use it anyway...

do you think it has any significance? because the Marathon and Halo3 are most likely related [in universe perspective] to each other. i never was able to read something more recent, but is it known if Cortana is perhaps, a clone of Durandel? or knew Durandel? or is the Bi-Product of durandel? something along those lines.

I remember the Cortana letters. However they are no longer canon.
