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…

----
That's what Cortana said as it being the sound that came from an entity named Cortana meaning that it was not someone named Bob or Dr. Halsey, yet Cortana who made the sounds.


Just because Cortana's face is on the screen does not mean that Cortana is in control of herself. Remember, "Smart AI's" will become corrupted after 7 years time and will eventually think themselves to death. I think that the Halo data Cortana was carrying with her has taken years of her "life" away. She used a ton of processing power keeping that with her.

Um, your theory has some ground but i doubt you've thought it through all the way.
Normally one would speculate about WHO was controlling her.
Go think more than come back.
-EDIT-
And you speak of processing power as something that can be used up.
Um...WRONG!
It refers to the speed of the processor which is running programs, and how many programs it can run simultaneously and efficiently.
So please use a different term for whatever you're reffering to.

Listen, this can't be Dr. Hasley, because...
When the Dr. first met John, in 2517, he was 9years old. now, the events of halo ce start in 2552, 35 years later. the making John 44, and the Dr, at youngest( if she was 20 when she met John) 55. so therefore the person we see in the trailer istoo oung to be the Dr.

It wasn't a theory about who is controlling Cortana, I just said Cortana may not be in control of herself. Also, sorry used up her *memory* that took some of her "life" away as a Smart AI. I don't hear you spitting out any genius ideas either.

He was six, making him forty-one now.
And have you heard of a 20 year old, world class doctor.
I don't think so.
Our guess is that she's now early sixties to early seventees.
We discussed this before, please read more of the thread before you post.

Well here is a theory...What if Dr. Hasley...has token the form of Cortana. Like when we see in halo 2 at the begining the holographic figures of the humauns in the main room where the award ceromoney is. Maybe Dr. Hasley has...Become Cortana. As in she was hiding for a while in some sort of secret lab and solved the mystery of the fore runners. Then, she comes back through cortana to speak to the cheif about the big deal is. Its just a Theory.....

That's official bungie spooks talkin' there. They defined Cortana's words. They didn't define Dr. Halsey's, nor Ed's, but Cortana's.

When one goes about performing functions and is not under their own control, normally one would speculate that SOMETHING ELSE is controlling her.

And you obviously haven't read all the posts in this thread.

cortan is not dr halsley, and




POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT FOR HALO3 GAME!











cortana betrays you in the end of halo2 where she insists on getting left behind on the structure. rember right before it changes scenes from that part when the gravemind comes through the door, and seems to be welcoming it back? well the gravemind is the originator of he flood, and can take many forms to survive, in this case captain keyes from halo 1. Remeber keyes from halo 1 where u punch his face out for the neural implants? yep thats the gravemind. and cortana led the flood to earth causing the covenant to come to (the covenenants main mission was to destroy the flood) so the coveneant make contact with earth relizing that it is the home planet of the humans causing a huge war because of some misunderstanding before the game halo 1. (the covenant are not attacking the humans because they feel like it, its because we attacked them first long ago)


Wrong they attacked us read da books and ign even says theres a second spartan in the game

She hasn't talked to MC since before the Fall of Reach, meaning she doesn't even know of the Halos.

Yea, I've tried to use that as a point before, but they just dont listen (or read anyone else's threads)
SIGH
Thus is the torture of an intelligent person.

Wow, i really am bored.
I just noticed that if you look at my icon thingy right, it can look like 2 dancing, hooded, gnomes, or a red evil guy with a huge goatee.
Interesting...

no she started the whole spartans thing. she picked each child out her self, she knows MC's whole past. she even made his suit. also listen to cortana in halo 2 and this trailer its not the same voice.

u may have something big....


I'm pretty sure its her...sounds the same to me when she says "I Am your Shield. I am your Sword."

sounds identical

But being the founding member of the Spartan Program, wouldn't she get detailed reports on John's activities?

Ever notice Cortana isn't fully rendered in the sequences? Parts of her are only there to allude us to thinking it's some sort of transmision to Chief.

It is to the Chief, that much is certain as she says she knows his past, only Dr.Hasley knows a lot about the Chief's past.

Don’t get mad if I flame you because you cannot spell, or because my three year old has better grammar and etiquette than you.

In the last book it described Dr. Hasley being OLD. Point ended.

Did it really? Which book? I suggest you go re-read the First Strike as they do NOT describe Dr.Hasley as being old.
