Alright, two threads in one night, I must be on a roll.
People keep talking about whether or not you can play as Cortana, and it's bugging me. I could be wrong on this, but I doubt it.
This game is a first person shooter. Now, what weapon do you suppose Cortana would use? She's a program, and if she does have to fight something, it would be with millions of lines of code. I just can't see any way of playing Cortana and sticking with the FPS format.
In addition to the fact that the story is not about her. Granted, the story wasn't about the Arbiter until H2, but adding Cortana as a facet of gameplay would just add too much stuff to keep track of.
I can definitely see a lot of cutscene time spent on Cortana, maybe even missions about her, but not playing as her.
