It makes common sense dosen't it , whenever she went in foreign computer systems she always came out somehow changed, she lead the humans to halo, on a randomized jump vector away from reach, what if she had planned for the humans to go there and be slaughtered, what if she planned for the chief to get killed, even though shes saved the chiefs ass a few times dosen't mean that shes not evil, just think with her hacking power that you read about in the books, shes unstoppable.

Like a greek tragedy?

I just have a feeling shes going rampant, and this will play a large role in the story.

This seems true, if you listen to the lines that she says in the trailer of halo 3 she sounds kind of evil and bungie has already said she is *different* than before.

i think she is just getting power hungry, she could hold the halos and the flood in her grasp

Someone has already had this exact idea. Don't waste forum space with repeated ideas.

I don't believe Cortana is the villian here.

Cortana was created by humans and that randomized jump sector wasn't entirly randomized she found that these symbols on a certain artifact look like cordinates and u llook at that it is.

Halo CE......(sigh) the good ol' days......

“Go, stranger, and to Lacedaemon tell that here, obeying her behests, we fell.”

having to fight cortana would be retarded, who wants to fight a computer?

Cortana was the one who stopped the Chief from activating Halo in Halo: Combat Evolved.

Just because the voice is distorted you jump to the conclusion that she must be the villian, despite the numerous times she saved them. Please people, don't waste the forum space here with such outlandish ideas that can in no way be backed up with fact. If any Bungie employee happens to read this, they're either laughing their head of, or crying because their fanbase is this ludicrous.

I've been around these parts for almost eight years now...wow! Maybe I should be concerned about that...

I don't think she was always a villian...she's an AI, her loyalty to humanity is embedded into her code deeper than anything else.

Cortana woudn't do anything bad to MC, and Gravemind isn't evil cause if he was he would just kill cortana, or just kill the chief when he had him on his hands....

Or maybe her voice is so disorted because she's trying to communicate from a galaxy away?

  • 05.13.2006 10:03 PM PDT

Ok if you ever read the books. The Covenant showed up aced our fleet sent to contact them and Cortana had no idea it happened. She also got those jump coordinates from a rock John captured way back when. Plus she had neve entered any Covenant System before they jumped out. It doesn't float.

Cortana did go to halo on purpose, she decided to just for the heck of it since they need to escape anyway. I doubt she knew a thing about the Flood yet.
