How the **** did Cortana manage to get herself onto that American/African place in the H3 film clip when she was last hanging out with Gravemind in High Charity... on Delta Halo...?

Well, actually, High Charity was basically abandoned/taken over by the Flood. I don't think it entered Earth's atmosphere or left Delta Halo's.

Technically, Cortana isn't "in" the location in the trailer. Some say it's a transmission, I just believe it to be one of those awesome "narrations" to make an epic trailer. I'm not sure how I can describe it.

The trailer takes place 1/3 through the game. So it's possible that she got reunited with the Chief by that time.

...And so the hero crawled through the fissure on the surface of Tyr. There, the lone Dwarf stared into the cold, dark eyes of Soulblighter...The fiend hefted his blade over his shoulder as a flock of raven took upon his form...

-TBG-

The trailer is about 2/4 into the game so mabey Cortana got back on Earth some how.

I dont think shes in his mjonir or sending a transmition. I mean seriosly if it were cortana sending a transmition wouldnt chief be like "CORTANA OMFG WHERE ARE YOU OMFG THIS IS AMAZING" instead of just going for a sunday stroll. And if cortana was acctually with him she would be like "WOW A BIG STRUCTURE OMFG" and not all soppy and amotinal coz shes not all soppy and emotinal around mc. I think its a narration sort of thing or its in mcs mind..... like something shes said to him before.

Chances are he recieved the meassage from cortana earlier while he had time to stop and recieve it and disect it for it's worth but now it's sort of playing in his head. I don't think that actual part of the game (Chief looking at the forerunner structure) will have him directly hearing that message (if he ever does).

If anything they will have that message pop in at a different time and will not actually come up in this scene (wether you end up playing or watching it in the actual game).

Though as we don't have the game technically every theory here is wrong and unfounded as for all we know halo 3 can be just a compliatiion of mini games that has nothing to do with halo 3 (maybe they'll toss in find the forerunner little frogger style game lol).

if cortana was reunited with the Masterchief (it IS masterchief, not chief by itself it's just not accurate), then that trasmission or whatever it was wouldn't be so fragmented

When she was inside High Charity, she could still talk to chief, even when he got onboard that spiffy ship that truth had, she could still talk to him... I think its only logical that she could be sending a messed up transmission to him somehow.

It's a transmission.

However, I, like Zag, don't think Cortana is actually transmitting anything; it's just there to add another layer of suspense to the trailer and serves no purpose but to break the fourth wall. I think the fact that the Master Chief appears to be ignoring Cortana is evidence to this theory.

Chill bro. Gotta get my bowl.

How do we know the Chief even hears here? She could just be speaking to herself.

If Delta Halo is 13 light years away or whatever, wouldn't that mean that if she tried to send a transmission to MC, it would take 13 years to reach him on Earth? Yeah... that's a long time.
