Subject: So Should Cortana........ *halo 4 spoilers*

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

I feel like she will come back and I like it that way. I think that solely because MC is a pretty terrible character if he has nothing personal to chase after, and people wouldn't like him nearly as much if he never did.

I also didn't really like the H4 ending; it made me feel hollow. I didn't feel like I won, or that I sacrificed; it just felt like I lost.

Don't let fear of rejection stop you from going after what you want

I think she will inevitably return because she's such a popular character and pretty much the only 'eye candy' for the teenage male demographic - which is unfortunate, because like you say, it cheapens Halo 4's ending.

-Sir Winston Churchill

The Secret Society 95% of activity is me, I could use some help.

If there is one thing I hate, it's dead things coming back to life inexplicably when they were utterly dead, no chance of recovery what-so-ever.

If they revive her I will lose much respect.

I want her to stay dead, but I bet she's going to somehow be recovered in Halo 5/6. And I would like to have her death seriously affect Chief in the next games.


Halo 4's ending showed he sort of got past that already.


Don't know where you're getting that impression from, seeing as the Chief isolated himself and stared blankly out a window for several minutes.

His line "we must do what we can whatever the cost" is just a dodge. He really is devestated.

OT: Cortana needs to stay dead.

Then the ending worked.

Both Didact and Cortana are "dead" and if Cortana came back the plot would be a H3 clone.

Guys, remember when the Librarian said attempts at bringing people back from the digital world, made the people corrupt, ie prometheans. I'm guessing when cortana come back, she may be evil. And when didact comes back...

Master Chief will probably start hallucinating and imagine seeing her in the the next Halo. They made Cortana a huge part of Halo 4, I don't think she'll completely drop from the story.

The fight has been complete.... now get the cookies!

While we certainly share your enthusiasm for the return, we here at the Bungie.net community are mostly made up of snarky asses and jerks who will ridicule you for making a thread about something revealed months ago. We regret that your innocent intentions will almost certainly be replied with anger and sarcasm, and politely invite you to don your Flame-suit, because you just did the internet equivalent of jumping up the Construct lifts.

She will be in the opening of Halo 5.

This is how it goes:

*Halo 5*

Cortana: Rise and Shine Master Chief. Rise and Shine.
Not that I wish to imply you have been sleeping on the job.
No one is more deserving of a rest. And all the effort in the world would have gone to waste if not for, well... Lets just say your hour has arrived again...

The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the galaxy... So wake up Master Chief, wake up and smell the ashes.

*You appear in a covenant cruiser*

A million times yes.

I got a couple of regrettable tattoos but, you can't see 'em when I wear a black suit.

Great idea.
Bring back Cortana in Halo 5/6.
Then at the end/near end of the game.
Chief finds out that it's not his Cortana.
And that Halsey simply lied to him and managed to replicate most of the Cortana Chief knows and loves.

That's the point im trying to say, they can have a dream/hallucinations/flashbacks portraying Cortana in future halo games, without bringing her back from the dead.

If done properly, it can be excellent (think Ra's appearance in The Dark Knight Rises).

Still i think the Chief should be given a new AI companion. Just because Cortana is dead, doesn't mean we shouldn't get a new AI character.

He'd have been taken over by the Primordial(?)

I don't know which to vote for here OP.
You asked two questions. My answer to the first is no and my answer to the second is yes.

Both Didact and Cortana are "dead" and if Cortana came back the plot would be H3 clone.


Didact fell through a slipspace portal, and is talking to someone in the post-credits scene. He isn't dead.

Cortana is, though.

I think she should stay dead. Perhaps if they introduce a new AI, they could make it so MC has issues trusting the new AI.

Then Didact would make a lame antagonist for H5. We only see him twice and his only attack thusfar is the force/forunner magic.

You know, sometimes in works of fiction, when a villain is dead, the villain still has some sort of speech at the end. Like a movie where the hero wins, villain is dead, but at the end of the movie you hear a speech by the villain about his beliefs and why he is right.

So the fact that we hear the Didact's voice at the end, does not mean he survived halo 4.

Maybe....maybe not. All im saying is that there isn't 100% proof that he lived. You can't say that him surviving is a fact. We simply don't know. All i was trying to say is that him talking at the end does not mean he is alive. Maybe it does....but we don't know that for sure.

Halo:Reach=FTW!

No, but she should be replaced by a new AI, and also referenced during 5/6

  • 11.10.2012 6:16 PM PDT

Stop being a lazy ass and stop trolling through the forums, play video games!

Can't they make copies of AI's? I'm sure when Halsey hears from Chief she'll have a copy, I think. Or isn't she arrested but yet her S-IV program still went through. Or was that cause of the S-II program? Either way, I would prefer not, I shed a tear for Cortana, if she came back I would be even more sad.

  • 11.10.2012 6:18 PM PDT

+1 for you good sir.

They should develop Palmer and the other Spartan IVs, hopefully they might even bring the Arbiter back.

I'm calling it, Palmer and Kelly fight for MC's "iron rod".

And then Cortana becomes a human and MC chooses her...

Yes???
