Cortana should have stepped up, taken control of the Composer, threw the Didact out, and gone absolutely bat -blam!- crazy with only the Chief able to get through to her.
Rampant UNSC AI in control of doomsday weapon? It would have been awesome. Taking control of UNSC and Covie fleets and throwing them about like toys.
I would have seriously LOVED that! Still liked what they did though, I could really feel the desperation Cortana was going through.

Yes, the game doesn't compensate particularly well for those who haven't invested in Halo as a universe, which can make some of the more tense moments quite puzzling since the story has resonant connections with a huge variety of sourcesgoing back to 2007 (Greg Bear's Forerunner Saga, Karen Traviss' Kilo-5 Trilogy, Halo: Evolutions, Halo CEA's Terminals, Halo 3s Terminals and the viral IRIS campaign).
Don't really know about that, the Iris campaign pointed it like the forerunners found us (in a not-evolved state) in their last moments of war with the flood, and they thought of us as good "reclaimers" for what they had left behind. It also implies the forerunners actually wanted to save themselves, but their shield worlds failed for some reason. Later in the H3 terminals we found out that was because MB. No mention of the new lore there.
