Ok so Cortana said "I know your past, your future." How can she see into the future? was he and she somehow brought back from the future? This can explain how he had that "familiar feeling" about the light bridge on halo (Halo: The Flood). Then he was able to pilot banshees and other covenant vehicles. But if he was brought back from the future, how was he born? Was there somehow a flash clone of him, then he went and fought, and now he's back again, with the same settings against the covenant? I think somehow he was sent back to do a different strategy, maybe we failed and he was sent back so we can succeed. FTL travel can have some time differences. This is just what I believe.

Back in my day we didn't have no fancy lasers, and the hogs were indestructible!

dude that makes no sense... at all

so the Chief has been sent back in time to save humanity, yet there is the book which describes his 'creation', and is all in chronological order.

what Cortana says is part of that thing were A.I.s go crazy... rampancy that was it, melancholy, anger and jealousy plus gravemind -blam!- knows what hes been up to, or what hes planning.

also MC was called the "reclaimer" by guilty spark, which means he at least looked like a forerunner

  • 06.09.2006 4:51 AM PDT

Facts are the enemy of tru7h....

I think you're taking the quote too literally.... by,

I know you, your past, your future

i think cortana is saying that she has spent time with the chief (i know your past), so she knows what he's been through and what kind of person his and the fact that he will fight to the end and die if need be. This is why she says i know your future, because she knows the Chief, she knows what he's going to do in this situation, what he has to do in this situation. I don't think time travel is involved.... It may also be because she knows what must be done to stop the activation of the artefact and thus what the chief has to do next....

Was there somehow a flash clone of him, then he went and fought, and now he's back again, with the same settings against the covenant?


Yes he was flash cloned, i beleive in the books his actual parents received the clone (as it shows the democrats were in power).

The flash clone's of the Spartan children died a few years (Two I believe) later because of flawed design. The parents simply thought their son died prematurely.

Yes i aggree I definitly don't think traveling back from the future has anything to do with it. But back to what someone else said, about the reclaimer part. If you notice, in Halo yes 343 calls the Master Chief the Reclaimer. And in Halo 2 Moranda Keyes 343(or i'm not sure if it was another unit) calls her the reclaimer, because i guess she was the only one who could place the index in and that the brutes couldn't. And then!!!! Wait theres more!!!! lol. And the Main terminal for remote detonation is definitly on earth in the desert. Like what we see in the H3 trailer. So i really think the forerunners were once humans.

I think what Cortana was saying was that she knows how he has been brought up since he was a young boy, and she now realizes what he must do to finish the fight. If he was from the future, he would not only have a "familiar feeling" but he would have an "exactly feeling". Also, it has been described in the books that flash clones do not live except for a couple of years.

i think they're called the Spartan 2 program because there were already spartans. Those ones who fought to the death in that pass to save the atheneans I think

It's called the spartan 2 project because the first one was a failure, during the testing when they genetically try to increase their blood. They all died in the first project. When in the 2nd ony half of them died, leaving master chief and some other spartans. There are other spartans out there for a fact.

Stupid troll. Where the hell did you get THAT from? The Spartan "1" project was ORION. Except the genetic enhancements weren't so extreme and they took volunteers instead of kidnapping six year olds and practically taking away their humanity.

reclaimer could mean ANYTHING

No, the spartan 1 program was a horribly failed attempt at the spartan we know and love today, in the books it says "With the first Spartans the armor would enhance there reflexes so quickly without them getting used to it that a simple movement of the arm would result in dismemberment" IDK if that's exactly what is says but I know its pretty close
