For one why in the world would it be doctor halsey! I fyou guys havent learned the books are not really modeled after the game at least after Halo: the flood.
It was cortana. Just because theyres no data code doesnt mean anything. Just compare Halo and Halo2. In halo cortana had scarlet on her body and her hair was shorter than that in Halo2. Face it characters change in games sometime without a good explanation.
also gravemind was not controlling cortana. If you watched the end carefully you see gravemind pull a tentacle at cortanas hologram but she bats it away like its no more than a fly. Ask yourself this, is gravemind controlling cortana or is it cortana whos controlling gravemind. And last, Dr. Halsey isnt the only one who knows the chiefs history, his past, future. Cortana was right by Dr. Halseys side when they made John into the Master Chief. If anything Cortana knows more about the Matser Chief than Dr. Halsey does.
I hope this cleared stuff up. Please right hate mail to stealspartan@yahoo.com.
These are my theories and knowledge im sorry if im not right and if I am.

yea we debunked that stupid theory several pages back, so you just wasted a whole lot of typing.
Of course noone reads anyone else's posts anyways unless there on the latest page so it doesnt matter anyways

isn't cortana supposed to be an image of dr.hasley?

no cortana is everything BUT an image of dr. hasley.
She has her personality her knowledge and everything.
But her image is fasioned after a younger version of her.
Dr. hasley is old....
Does Cortana look old to you?????????????




Dude your the largest Halo idot i have ever seen...you are there is no doubht about it. The Cheif is 41 years old and hes still kicking covie butt in a war! All because of that like injection he had in training. Who says Hasely didnt take that? That and who says that Dr. Hasely isnt talking through cortana, who would better know how to hack into her then Hasely. Everyone is using this "Dr. Hasely is 70" as a excuse. Either way she almost like has to come back! THIS IS THE END GAME!!! This is Bungie;s Big Finish! Why not throw in Hasely and Kelly in the end!!!

Cortana is modeled to look like Dr. Halsey. They flash-cloned Dr. Halsey's brain, and then took a "picture" of it to create Cortana's neural network.
One speculation would be that Dr. Halsey might be talking to the master Chief, but we dont know for sure until Bungie either confirms or denies it.
At this point I think it is pretty safe to say that it is Cortana, or the image of Cartana.

Its not an excuse its a hypothesis, and it has to be at least close.

I have never said anything for or against Dr. Hasley appearing in the game, but seing as she does not appear in the trailer, we have no way of knowing.

Personally i think it would make sense for them to introduce her as well.

You should ask what people think before telling them, you're much more likely to be correct that way.

Also what is an idot?
I've played both games several times through and have not encountered any such character.

-EDIT-
Maybe idots have something to do with "doubht"s.

There is one thing completely wrong with your theory in my opinion. Cortana is modled after a young doctor Hasley isnt she? Therefore, how could she look so young? She must be older then 50 seeing as the Master Cheif is over 40 years old. I highly doubt she looks exactly like Cortana was built 7 or so years ago still...it just doesnt make sense for her to look like a 30 year old...even with plastic surgery.

Oh and notice she sounds different, like she has aquired much more knowledge (perhaps through gravemind).
She's speaking in riddles and she doesn't do that very often.

Now remember Cortana is exactly like Hasley....her image, her personality, her knowledge.
Now if Cortana were to aquire much more knowledge and was looking at things in an entirely different way, she would sound different.

Hasley, however, would still act like she always has, and since we know Hasley's personality (through Cortana) we know that she is now acting different and "un-hasleyish" so to speak.

Think about it.... it cant be Hasley.

Yea, but master cheif is 41, shes WAY older than 50, and we discussed this already.
Read the previous posts please.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

1. Her name is Dr. Halsey, not Dr. Hasley or anything else.

2. Dr. Halsey was never in any of the games to my knowledge.

3. The books are based on the games.... not the other way around.

I really don't understand how so many people are coming up with these ideas. It's a freaking trailer. TRAILER. The trailer isn't supposed to tell you the whole story, it's supposed to show you that the game is coming, and not too much else (besides that fact that it "looks" like MC got new armor, or just magically changed his gloves).
And I don't doubt your theories, some of you may be right. But in MY experience, everyone who has tried to guess Bungie before has failed. Heck, I know numerous friends of mine who all took swings at the storyline of H2, and they were all way wrong, including me. All I'm saying, is not to think too much about it, or you'll spoil the story for yourselves when it finally DOES come out.

Ah my mistake.
But the books AND games are based on the halo UNIVERSE and are NOT thought up as they go along.
They are all official and whatnot, and their stories are connected.
So its very plausible that they introduce Dr. Halsey in the 3rd game, but that was definitely not her in the trailer.

They all take place in the Halo universe. However, the books spawned from the games in a sense. They were reliant on the games for a story base. Hence: based on the games.

They all revolve around the games, not the other way around.

Well DUH!
lol
My point is that they werent like ok.......um...........what should happen in between here and just made stuff up.
They had it all planned out and then authors dramaticized it and made it storyish but, yea.

wait a minute arent we ALL missing some right now?... for instince almost all of earths defenders are captured killed etc right now... so as i have heard from masterbawney121 before is that the Cov ships over the "ark" are ships under elite rule and if elites are Allies now as brawney has also pointed out then why is earth under Cov leadership? and then why would there of been any fighting at all for earth after the elites broke off. the only way earth would be under Cov leadership now would be if the brutes had taken it. But that is not so. this brings us to the question is the elites really our ally? and why would Hasley be there at all? one option is that she is there for another "most important find of the century" thing like with the cyrstal in the First Strike. also if she was going to talk to the MC why would she say i am you sword and your shield or whatever it was. is that cause she gave him the MJOLNIR armor, that serves as his weapon but also as his shield? for some reason that doesnt really click. and if those blips in his HUD was the acknowelgement lights (which would be awsome) then how would the other spartans play? like in a 4 player CO OP? or would they just be really really good AI's? i am confused a bit...

To rain on your parade...those flashes are lightning, and communicating using a helmet doesn't make a flash.
Actually in the books the Spartans used a flash in the HUD to comunicate quietly. also if it was lighting it would NOT have flash HORIZONTALLY like in the trailer it would have flashed VERTICALLY.
*Caps for empasis*


If you look closely, on the high quality *.mov trailer you can see that in his visor it is a reflection of the "artifact" you can see several panels and a big light in side, a few frames before that you can see :O Several panels, with a huge light inside!

;) I personally don't think its some kind of hud flash :P

First of all Bawney good job on usin your brain to get to this conclusion.

Second of all alot of you are really good at making shiz up. Yea I've read the books at least once and read **MAIN** points at least 3 times. You guys should stop deciving people with bogus information.

Thirdly This is a forum if people havn't noticed, so don't be flamers if someone gets smarter than you.

Well...
1. you hear Gravemind at first when she's talking and Halsey isnt a Flood.
2. Humans dont have Holo technology that good yet so how could it be Halsey talking.
3. For all we know Halsey and Kelly could have been ambushed by Covenant or the stolen ship could could have broken down and they starved or sufficated....
