Carrots.

Actualy, maybe a Cortana thingy could work somehow, like when you go up to a door you get this veiw of the code inside high charity and than you have to hack into it to open the door, I geuss it would be kinda fun.

Wow, you guys just can't accept new ideas, can you? Think: it could be a minigame, like the hacking and lock picking in Splinter Cell. It wouldn't have to be a whole level like the Arbiter, just something that the game jumped to when it activated. You could even use the guns on the Earth Defense system or whatever it's called (if it still exists) in some sort of track-shooting minigame. Don't be so closed-minded. It could even be used in multiplayer, like to hack into and open the door on Zanzibar or repair vehicles.

I don't know about playing as the flood, though. You would be way to fragile and die quickly. However, I would LOVE playing as a hunter. Walking tank with a fuel rod cannon? Sign me up!

Judging by the poster's behavior he seemed to either be drunk or just made a half-assed attempt at an idea.

I do! I do! It would be fun sitting in High Charity watching flood run around while have a stunning conversation with this 'thing' called the Gravemind! Tell me this wouldn't be fun!


This wouldn't be fun.

I am not drunk!
And heres another cortana quote for ya:"I have walked among men and angels for 3000 years.Time has no end...no beginning...no purpose.


I wander the Earth,seeking forgiveness for my horrible crimes against God and Man.


I live to see death,destruction,over the light,but the light cannot be extinguished.

I live in a prison of my own demise.

I am lost in time...

This is not Splinter Cell, this is HALO meaning two different types of games and two different style of gameplay and my answer is NO. No offence but I heard some dumb -blam!-, this by far one of the dumbest, Congrats! You get a golden star...

sure. i always wanted to be the one who could go ahead of MC and open doors for him. and give him hints and helpful nav points.

You're being sarcastic aren't you?


sorry, but yes.

i just can't think of anything that would justify putting cortana in as a playable character. unless cortana is released by gravemind and makes her way back to one of those mac guns or whatever. then you had to command a mac gun for a certain time while chief did some massively important task to end the war. but that's doubtful. although fun... ok if that was it, i may be ok playing as cortana for a very short period of time.

Interesting, particularly if it played like Tron: Killer App.

Taking on other programs with sword, shield and other oddball weapons could be a nice change for a little bit.

I doubt they'd do this though as it would require entirely new texture sets.

Even if they did, they could easily have you choose to perform that particular section of the game or not with just a button push.

erm... that's from the Cortana letters, they are not Canon to the Halo Universe as it is now... it was made for the RTS storyline... before they changed it to an FPS.

It would be like... god, I forgot that games name. It's the one where you're a woman who's a spy and you can pick locks and -blam!-.

Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts, absolutely.

I think Sergeant Shotgun is any or all of the following:

1) A little kid who is just rambling on like little kids do.

2) A person who has had just a little too much to drink tonight.

3) Someone who has made the local crack dealer rich.

4) Someone who drank the bong water.

Who's with me?

Listen guys,
If you do get to play as Cortana in Halo 3, I think this would be Bungie's plan:
The single player maps will be massive and outdoor (ie. the streets of New Mombassa), that will make it possible for an RTS as well as FPS. Playing as Cortana will be RTS style, you can see a eagle-eye view of the map and be able to command troops, call in dropships for renforcments/vehicles/weapons, etc. Your goal as playing as Cortana is to command troops to defend key buildings, and on the side you can call dropships for when you switch to playing as Master Chief (so you would be able to switch between characters).
But, then again, Cortana is in the clutches of the Gravemind, so this idea could be unlikely.

Not only that, but this is HALO, not COMMAND AND CONQUER.

Although C&C was a great series of stragedy games...

No matter.

It wouldn't fit into Halo 3.

Might be good for downloadable content though...

NOTE: This is not a flame. I am just speaking my opinion.
