I was just wondering:

Jonrap asks,


My wife didn't recognize Cortana when she watched the announcement. I thought Cortana looked exactly the same. But my wife is smarter than me. So, I better ask.

Is Cortana any different? She seems somehow different. My wife didn't recognize Cortana when she watched the announcement. I thought Cortana looked exactly the same. But my wife is smarter than me. So, I better ask.

Is Cortana any different? She seems somehow different..


Was that a typo by the original poster or did Frankie purposely post it like that?

Cool, my own little box!

Well anyways...since we're talking about the update, I can't believe that everything in the background of the trailer (except the sky) was not part of the skybox!! :O

Maybe Frankie copied the sentence over and over because the Cortana speaking was a copy ?

"SlimJim0045 asks,


Please have Cortana's lines pronounced so that I don't see 36 threads about it.



"I have defied gods and demons."


"I am your shield, I am your SWORD."


"I know you, your past, your future."


"This is the way the world ends."


But there's obviously something terribly wrong…"


What I dont understand is why he wouldnt answer this simple question? Maybe there's more to the dialogue than people think.

That'd be too simple


Cortana being a copy that is..........and if she was then where did she come from and what's her purpose

I don't know what her purpose would be but I know that she has copied herself before.

After I read the update i came to some simple conclusions that i think you would have too but this is written:

After the covenant fleet jumped slipspace New Mombasa was destroyed by the move of the covenant. Now since the UNSC marines, and forces ( basically the whole army ) was either sidetracked by Delta Halo or wiped out by the covenant on earth, the Covenant have control of Earth, so this meant that they could achieve what the came here to do, which was dig for whatever.......now frankie said for the hardcore fans the forunner artifact would look fimilliar, to me it looks like a "control room", with the sides sticking up and the centre of it going down like that.

Now for some more info:

The new Assalt Rifle is not standard it's got something new........so says frankie "Who says it's the standard Assault Rifle? Doesn't look identical to me…"

Where the trailer is set is New Mombasa ( the ruins of)..........so says frankie "That is indeed the ruins of New Mombasa. The artifact and the Chief are where they appear to be, on the desert outskirts of New Mombasa, and many miles inland. The mountain behind him is Kilimanjaro."

The covenant fave had control of Earth for at least a Month ( or a week )........So says Frankie......."The Covenant have basically been in control of Earth since the final events of Halo 2. What was left of the human forces was either distracted by Delta Halo, or already overwhelmed by the sheer force of the Covenant onslaught."

New Mombasa is now in ruins because of the slip space Rupture....."so says frankie.....That's an excellent question. A Slipspace jump in-atmosphere would have a devastating effect on an environment, don't you think?


Halo 3 IS set on Earth....so says frankie......"Is that actually Earth?
Yes."

That IS the MC in the trailer.....so says frankie......"Is the Spartan in the teaser trailer, John 117?
Yes."

This is my editorial of the Weekly update, i only put storyline clues in it"

Cortana has simply gone Rampant!
Thats whats terribly wrong: She's crazy and she holds the entire archives of the first Halo, and my assumptions she knows alot more after speaking to Gravemind.

Thats what I think.

  • 05.12.2006 4:50 PM PDT

Frankie is simply hinting that Cortana is "different" in Halo 3, thats why he answered by saying wonem are always right... So we now know something is wrong with cortana

They didn't tell us what it was it could have been anything. Frankie gets scared easy incase you didn't know.

Been here 6 years, been blacklisted 6 times, that's why I'm not Mythic.

If I remember right, the artifact looks alot lke the deep pit in the control room in the level 'The Library'. It looks a lot like it, go back and play it and it looks identical.,\

The way he's repeating himself is reminiscient of a crazy person. Or an AI gone rampant. Perhaps he is alluding to Cortana literally thinking herself to death? If a computer program gone insane was talking to me, I wouldn't be surprised if it sounded like that.

Well i didn't read all of this but maybe by frankie saying women are always right or w.e he is hinting that somehow cortana is right. Don't know just my thoughts.

I don't think she looks different. Just a little distorted, but I knew who it was.

Wow You guys are really taking just about anything anyone from Bungie says and making some huge "holy crap his reply to that person question must mean...". Settle down lol. It was *probably* just a typo by the person that asked the question. You don't fix other peoples' typos.

I don't see anyone freaking out.

We are just making an observation.

Chill.
