Since seemingly few people on these forums have common sense, I will repost what I found yesterday. On HBO, there's a newspost that prooves that Cortana says sword and not source.

Normally, we let speculation run its course on our forum - trying to decipher what Bungie meant with some obscure tidbit is more than half the fun, after all. Sometimes, though, the little stuff really gets in the way; our forum has been swamped today, for example, with debates about one of Cortana's dialogue snippets in the trailer - half the debaters believe she's saying 'I am your sword', and the other half hear 'I am your source'. Well, according to Marty O'Donnell, who really should know... it's 'sword'. Carry on.

So for the love of God, no more sword/source topics!!!!

You seem to be the only one who hasn't gotten the fact that we've seen a million of this thread already!

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

There we go.

I think that it is both, if you listen, it's not straightout: It's more like "I am your Sorrssd".

why would she say anything other than sword. Does source or even soul have anything to do with a sheild in any aspect of life??

Yes, it makes sense for her to say "sword" when she had just said "sheild", and she did! But it also makes sense for her to say "source" when it is just before "I know your past" or whatever.

i think she started to say sword but paused or glitched and continued to finish the word so it made it sound like source.

you guys, the reason why it sounds like source is because she kinda studders and says the word twice making it sound like "source" when infact shes just saying sword with an echo.
