After Cortana says "I have defied Gods and demons", listen VERY closely. Listen after she is finished talking, but BEFORE she disappears.

You can hear the sound of a Marathon save terminal in the background (the little "beep"). This may imply that someone is controlling Cortana at some sort of database.

since we're on the topic of hidden sounds, if you listen closely before she says anything you can hear a high pitched scream which sounds very much like cortana....

I have a feeling that maybe Recon or TGP would be able to hear it...perhaps I can help hear the sound easier: if you were to plug head phones in your computer while watching the trailer, the little "beep" is heard in the left head phone.

I think you guys are overreacting. I doubt there is any hidden message of any kind in the trailer.

Listen for it, it is a very clear sound rght after she says "demons" but before she vanishes. In the left head phone if you have those plugged into a computer.

Bingo. That's the sound effect.

It may not mean anything...but it just reminded me of Marathon.

This is so ridiculous.... I mean she has to be at a control pannel anyways so what does it matter if you hear a "beep."

I'm guessing you have never played Marathon either.
It isn't ridiculous, it means that there could be some more references to Marathon in Halo 3 than we think, and it could mean that Bungie has decided to include oldskool bits in Halo 3.

Cortana represents a character from Marathon, fact.
What stops Bungie from including other oldskool aspects in the game? I found it odd that they didn't use any of the Halo panel sound effects, but instead used a Marathon sound effect.
