I have read many of the various descriptions of the H3 trailer, and there is something that I have noticed. When Cortana speaks, many have received her words in the second statement as...

" I am your shield, I am you sword".

However, I beg to differ. After many viewing sessions of this magnificent trailer, I realized that Cortana says: " I am your shield, I am your source". If you listen carefully you can hear what she says. Unless she is saying I am your "swords" which I honestly doubt. I have also read many detailed thematic reviews on the meaning of this trailer, as I have done myself to try to congure any sliver of the amazing plot of that the people at Bungie have created for us. I know that it is only a word that I am in conflict with, but considering the impact of the trailer in provoking intelligent and in-depth thought in the area in the story that this trailer depicts, I find it important to express this opinion to share with others the possibility of a different meaning or point of view. I find that even the most subtle clues can sometimes reveal the most information.

Life is short. PLAY!

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…



Bungie says so... End it!!!

She says "sword", some people think that there's another voice-over that says "source" over "sword" at the same time, but i don't know. And can you hear Gravemind's voice with Cortana's? And you can hear her scream right before she says the first line........"obviously, something's terribly wrong."
