first off, im new to these boards but definatly not new to halo so i apologise if this has alread been discussed

anyway, thoughs who have read the books will know that cortana is an inteligant AI and has about 7 years of life before she gets too smart and starts to currupt or 'die'.

a few people asked about cortana and how she is different. i think its either that shes on the flood controled high charity and that could possibly be causing some interferance, she copyed herself in first strike and things went tits up there so that could be it to or shes in the process of dying.

either way, cortana is still stuck the other side of the galaxy to MC on a covanent holy city thats craling with flood and her only hope is the arbiter and johnson on delta halo. (arbiter missions?)

and the MC was on the forerunnership with truth so he either got kicked of the ship by the covenant, which i dought as they would have killed him, he jumped off without killing truth, which wouldnt be very clever either or he floated off in truths hover car thingy which was soaked in truths blood. truth being dead seems more likley so surly we cant be as screwd as the trailer makes out as the covanent is missing their hierachey and wont have a huge idea what to do with the arc (big forerunner structure in the trailer) now that they've found it

if this seems like im critising the trailer, i am most definatly not. the trailer was awsome as im sure halo 3 will be. keep up the good work bungie :D

oh and my spelling sucks as you may have seen

Its an announcment teaser. Meaning, its not supposed to show anything more than Halo 3 being a reality and teasing you with these such things.

Yeah one concern of mine was that as they described where one of her series of AI die it would seem as if they spiral downward into insanity rather than just altogether go out at once. As they begin to overthink and think themself to death we could see cortana's 7 year mark come up and result in her going a bit insane or at least disconnected.

Perhaps she may either be made rampant from all of these large computer sytems she has been in recently (halo/high charity) or exposure to some gravemind corruption of electronics as seen with pentient tangent could mix with her "old" state and make a very insane AI that will ramble to us in much the same way that we saw in the video.
