Subject: How would you feel, if Cortana became human at the end of the Trilogy?

What if I told you...

*scoots in closer*

I hate you

Wow, way to spoil Halo 6!

But personally that would be pretty heart warming!

A real test of a man is if he is willing to scrape a sharpened razor up and down his junk just to please a woman.

If Master Chief falls in love with her when she becomes human, then I'll quit the series and vomit my guts out on the games.
I think I'd just commit Seppuku with my ODST disk. More simple that way.

I like to play Reach for fun. I hate MLG, campers, armor lock, and team killers because they ruin that fun. Deal with it.

I don't think that would happen. She's definitely returning, but maybe possessed by the Didact or something.

Recon Number 54 -
If they are still looking, then while holding the snarl, I let drool start to drip from my mouth, I stand, curl my fingers into claws and with a hunched over crouch, I then make slow and deliberate steps towards them. When I get close enough, I let them hear my agonized and gasping growls and then, if they continue to stare, when I get within arm's reach? I kiss them on the nose, and run away giggling.

*Confus*

Death to rank junkies.

I never liked Cortana. He was mildly annoying in Halo 1 and 2, and EXTREMELY annoying in 3 and 4. She even managed to be annoying in Retch when we had to carry her all the way through the crappy last level.

Let's all just be happy! Doesn't that sound like fun?

Yay!

If 343i could present it right, then by all means, go for it. But I don't think they'll do it believably, since as it seems to be currently, the Composer is destroyed which appears to be the only tool for the trade. However, 343i has already taken some drastic jumps here, there, and everywhere.

"Apparently people don't like the truth, but I do like it; I like it because it upsets a lot of people. If you show them enough times that their arguments are bull-blam!-, then maybe just once, one of them will say, 'Oh! Wait a minute I was wrong.' I live for that happening. Rare, I assure you."-Lemmy of Motorhead

Yes, I'm the guy who had the Flood admit to being furries.

Maybe if they gave her a robotic body(like Aya from Green Lantern), I'd be okay with a physical Cortana.

Oh come on now, 343 is bad about that sort of thing, but they arnt THAT bad. Also, by the time halo 6 comes out (if it does) nobody will care anymore. Think about it, destiny could be one of the best, and could take the mantle from halo, or different developers could take over the halo series by then, and make it so amazing that it stabs COD in the heart a thousand times.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

Based on the "table setting" in Halo 4, when they mention attempting to bring the digital persons back to physical form, i'm wondering if this will be the case. If it happens, they better do a damn good job of tying it together.

For those looking to vent, get proper advice, or give it to those in need.

Cortana becomes human so she and Master Chief can be in love and live happily together? Sounds like an animated Disney movie. Yeah that's always been the route to Halo jumping the shark.

If, she became human, or a human form etc. by the end of the Trilogy if she could become recoverable - how would you feel Flood?

There is a long way top go yet, and a lot of buts and ifs. But hey its just a simple thought, yet it could always come true.

It would be heartbreaking, manly tears will be shed that day with no shame.
I would not be disapointed. I was hoping throughout the first trilogy that she would get a more corporeal form, and with the revelations of Halo 4, thats becoming more of a distinct possibility.

This a serious thread or is everyone just -blam!- around?

Cortana is dead.

I gaze upon the stars and see the majesty that is the universe.


EGO mos bulla astrum.

It's possible although getting a humanoid body magically would be stupid. However, metastability is possible as Durandal did it I believe as well as Church from Red vs Blue.

TL;DR
When AI are split up when they are put back together they can become "Metastable" and get human emotions, and essentially a soul.

Actually I think something like it may be the course they are taking.
It has to do with Red Vs. Blue. I imagine everyone knows what that is but if you don't go watch it. It's what all of the references in Spartan Ops have been about, so go watch it now (specifically season 10).
Done?
Good.

Burnie Burns (the head mind of RvB) apparently spoke with the guys making Halo about how AI's worked in the Halo universe. Basically they are a copy of a human brain, but while they share many memories and personality traits they still lack many base emotions, and just imitate them for the sake of their human counterparts. Simply put they don't have a soul.

However as an AI ages it develops those things in 8 stages, which overload it's processing power as an emotion is an abstract and computers work with logic and numbers. This is what causes them to think themselves to death and reach rampancy sometime after 7 years. Rampancy is only the 7th step however.

Reaching the 8th step, Metastability and a human level of consciousness, is the primary goal of one of the major antagonists of Red vs Blue named Sigma. Sigma is a fragment of an AI that was tortured until it went insane and its personality broke into fragments representing a different portion of a personality.
Alpha was the original
Delta was logic
Epsilon was memory
Sigma was creativity
Sigma figured that by combining the other AI fragments he could arrange themselves in metastability and essentially become human.

In the final battle Cortana split off her rampant personality pieces to bog down the Didact's super-destroy-everything-ray. Doing exactly what was done to the Alpha in RvB following the ideas on AI set down by Bungie. Personally I think that she's going to come back later and this will be the case, especially since 343i said they wanted to explore Chief and Cortana's relationship in the new trilogy.

Another example is Mendictant Bias, the AI in the terminals in Halo 3. He betrayed the Forerunners to team up with the Flood, and when he was captured by the Forerunners he was split up, one part going to the Ark and the other become the oracle seen in Halo 2 in High Charity (he's what the Covenant based their religion on, and why the prophets are named after things such as Truth and Regret). When High Charity crashes Ark in Halo 3 allowed him to join together again and become metastable for a few hours until Halo explodes and destroys him(That's why the terminal on the last level talks about righting his wrongs. He's reached a sentient level of emotion and feels regret for helping wipe out the Forerunners).


It might be possible for the composer to give her a body as well. The Librarian said that they could take Forerunner back out of it, however their minds would be broken.
