I have a therory! A very VERY good therory! Here i go.

I think that 'Cortana' is Dr. Halsey in the trailer. I think this for various reasons. (i have posted this before but i just updates it.)

Fact #1: From a Weekly Update. (Will post it later). In a weekly update, there was a letter from a guy saying he and his wife had watched the trailer. His wife had noticed that Cortana looked somehow 'different'. Well corrent me if im wrong because im not far in the HALO books but isnt Cortana an AI of Dr. Halsey? That meens that they talk ALMOST the same, think ALMOST the same, and look ALMOST the same! This could meen that this is Dr. Halsey.


Theres already a problem here.
Cortana is made to mirror Doctor Halsey, not look ALMOST the same.
And if I remember correctly, Cortana was made to look like Dr. Halsey when she was younger, so no, I don't think so.

Fact #2: From the trailer.

"I Have Defied the Gods and Demons." I do not know anything about this phrase yet. Maybe Dr. Halsey betrayed the Master Cheif (Demon) somehow...?


I don't know... Cortana is showing some signs of rampancy!

"I Am Your Shield, I Am Your Sword." Maybe Dr. Halsey has information to Destroy (Sword) and Defend (Shield) him from the flood and/or covenant.

Or maybe Cortana does.

"I know you, your past, your future." Maybe Cortana delivered information about the Master Cheif and know his past and knows about his future somehow.
She knows his past because she has all of Doctor Halsey's memories, and the future thing... we'll have to find out when the game comes out.

Those are my facts to support my therory. I do have one thing against it though.

In the books, when the Master Chief is an adult (The age he is in the game) the book describes Dr. Halsey as wrinkled and old...and that face is smooth like a 20 year old.


Cortana is a younger version like said before!
Also posted in the weekly update: The Cortana reveal is -blah blah blah.
So I don't think its the Doc.

ok first of all dr. Halsey has nothing to do woth anything in halo at all

She was just a charactor in a book written by someguy after the release of halo im sick of all you people and your threads about the books i know theyre cool but they have nothing to do with the game


Brutes.
Mac guns.
Covenant AI.
The Arbiter.
Tartarus.
Reach getting owned.
The orbital defense grid.
Sgt. Johnson surviving Halo
New armor.
Magnums
SMG's.
Battlerifles.
And many more things from the books are related to Halo 2, Bungie hasn't said they are canonical, but indeed, the evidance is pileing up agaisn't them, the books ARE canonical, I still don't think Dr. Halsey will be in Halo 3 thaugh.

I think it is cortana because she says she knows his future and it might mean that after being w/ the gravemind he tells her wht must happen so she knows wht MC will have to do

  • 06.17.2006 5:22 PM PDT

sorry, but the dr is alot older- like 50-60 and also each AI choses its own appearence so cortana may not look exactly like the dr

Besides the whole age prob;em...there is the fact that Frankie already has called her Cortana. So it could work...but you missed a couple critical flaws.

Okay, the trailer happens like 3/4 through the game. cortana could have been moved or something could have happened to her.

I am...whimsical today.

I was under the impression the trailer was 1/3 of the way through the game.
The Chief was taken at the age of 6, in-game he is 41.

I don't think that she will feature in the game. True, other book references have been included, but if you included Dr. Halsey I feel you would need to include the beginnings of the Spartan II program, and Project Mjolnir.
It may be possible that she will be in the game, but if she is I believe it is not in the role that the communicating figure in the teaser has (for argument lets say that she is not Cortana).

i think it was cortana... but for other reasons. If u look at the multiplayer map in halo 1 called chiron 44 or watever, it's description is that it is a spartan CLONE training center. In the book, mendoza said he was training more spartans. What if he meant spartan clones? I bet Dr.Halsey took Kelly and went to help Mendoza in training the cloned spartans. I also think that the thing that was talking in the trailer was cortana, just infected with the gravemind filth. IF Dr.Halsey comes back, hope she brings Kelly and spartan clones with her.

You're wrong! I'm sick of you people stating opinions as if they were facts!! The books and the games are all based on the Halo Bible, the supreme source of Halo fiction. Why else would Bungie work along side the authors of the books to make sure they have their facts straight?


dood i agree with you. bungie made sure the books were accurate. THEY TOLD US THEY WORKED WITH THE AUTHORS! im tired of these ignorant -blam!-s that are angry cuz they havent read the books or angry that they probly cant read at all. someguy582, you just lost your talking priviliges.

go to "My Settings" at the top of the page when you sign in and go to "My Avatar" and find the picture you want, click the dot below it, go to the bottom of the page and click "Modify". thats how.

listen, this is dumb. Bungie would never introduce Dr. Halsey into the game, because then the people who have only played the games and not read the book would not have a FREAKING CLUE OF WHAT IS GOING ON! THERE IS NO REASON TO THINK IT'S DR. HALSEY!

That is Cortana in the trailer, there's no doubt about that. I'm not sure what made you think it was Dr. Hasley.... first of all she's not purple and second of all she doesn't look like cortana. As mentioned before, AI make their own image, they dont look like their creators. Deja looks like a greek goddess, but i'm sure she wasn't made by one.

anyways, to explain how Cortana got into the trailer, there are two possibilities:

1. The trailer takes place late in the game and Cortana got within transmission range of the Chief
or
2. It's just a freaking trailer and Cortana flashing in and out of the trailer was just added to create a mood for the trailer. she doesn't necessarily have to do that in the game.

so... no that's not Dr. Hasley. although i would like to see Hasley in the game... perhaps that'd allow for a good plot twist.

Wow, none of you know your facts. And plus, MC was abducted at the age of 8. Most of the facts you people are stating are absolutely false . Gotta love dat bold.

I'd love harming my enemies to death with butt strokes. XD

John, the MC, was 6 when he was abducted(go look for a thread for Halo facts..its around here somewhere)

The books are canon, meaning they are very relevant to the games

That is Cortana, Halsey would be too old, plus, i doubt if she would be included anyways...aand, she's been calle dCortana how many times now by Frankie?

Its a freakin trailer, it might not even be the same when the game ships out

that is not Dr halsey. CORTANA is a "smart AI" destined to last for at the least seven years. Now you see smart AI's can be somewhat personalized by the creator. Dr halsey was the first inventor of the SMART AI so she passed her personality on. Now do you see?
And next time finish the books and by the way WHAT BOOK ARE YOU ON?
