As I watched the trailer I suddenly remembered back to the post launch commercials.

And as they played the commercial we heard Truth speaking while showing the destruction of Earth, and naturally I put Truth's voice with the destruction of Earth. But as I played the game, the line Truth spoke was from a completely different point in the game.

Which led me to wonder...is Cortana speaking about the chief? It's just as possible that she's speaking to Gravemind, especially if she's been in the Halo mainframe. She'd know all about his past, and even his future plans.

What if instead of being rampant, she's helping the Humans kill Gravemind/the flood?

Well, certain parts of the speech could be directed at different people. After all, she comes back several times.

I think she found something in Halo's system's that told her about the reclaimers and know's what MC must do to stop Truth activating the Halo's hence she say's I know your future.(my opinion)

How do you know she sounds like dr.Hasley you never herd her. Hasley could sound like she has a frog stuffed down her throat or something.

yeah ppl have posted about this and ive thought about it too and id have o agree. and to tie it in to one of my thoeries, i believe that the whole cortana part is just a video image played over an actual game movie we will see in halo3. so maybe the cortana part was just made for E3 and we wont see that part of the video in the game. supporting my thoery, you all know how the press saw halo3 from bungie in a real time format in "god mode" where the user has control of the camera and can move throughout the world without moving the player. also, notice how there is only ONE part of the video where we see a full screen image of cortana, if you tie this is with my thoery that the cortana part is a secondary video maybe bungie did that to cover an important story element. anyways, thats what i think...

what if its really DR.hasley? i mean think about it cortona is modeled after her!!!


*Sigh* its sad realy.
Its not Dr. Hasley, its Dr. Halsey, and yes, Cortana is modeled after her, but she looks like a younger version of Dr. Halsey, a younger version, they don't look the same, and Dr. Halsey, at estimate, was around her late thirties since she was so smart when she met John 117, (Master Chief) of course, by adding up the numbers, Master Chief is now fourty or fourty one, basicly, thirty five years have passed, so I'm pretty sure when Dr. Halseys brain was cloned, she was around in her fourties, which would suggest, since Cortana is a younger version, for her to be in her early thirties, whats the conclusion? Well, since she was somewhere (I think) in her late thirties when she met Johny boy 117, and since 35 years have passed, its only logical to think that she is in her seventies by now, so she would look nothing like Cortana, her voice most likeley wouldn't be the same, I do recal Dr. Halsey also wearing clothes, I recal she wasn't purple, and I recal that she wore glasses, its not Dr. Halsey, its Cortana.

yes but at 50 sec in she looks strangley different older maybe!!!

It is not Dr. Halsey. Unless Bungie says it is, it's not. I think it's possible, but I highly doubt it.

Why do you laugh it is obvious that cortana know's something about his furture and that it has something to do with the ark.
I was just saying that that something might be how to stop truth. I mean did she or did she download alot of info from the first halo. She might have put two and two together and worked out what MC has to do.
