Halo 1:

Cortana really only helped Master Chief with directions, information, ect. I Don't think she played a really big role.

Halo 2:

Cortana mainl ydoes the same thing again. Except this time, she says back. And at the end, they show that she is captured by the Gravemind.

Am I the only one that think that she will play a major part in Halo 3, bigger then she played in one and two?

I think that:

1) She will decide the fate of either Master Chief or Earth.

or

2) She will sacrifice herself for Master Cheif or Earth.

Like I said, this is just my opinion/veiws.

hi....
well i think, she will betray the chief, i don't belive she stayed in high charity, with the intent of detonate in amber clad's reactor as she said.
i think as i explained in other topic, that cortana can be seen as the greec that betrayed the spartans, and all of greece in the Battle of Thermopylae.

Hmm...I suppose I never thought of that. Well...wether she helps or kills Master Chief, I think everybody is in agreement that she might play a big part.

I just watched the Halo 3 Trailer again and once again, it left me with another neutral feeling.
What makes it confusing is that, we don't know who Cortana is talking to. But now that I've accually paid attention to the video(yes the first time I was too excited to notice anything but the big thing and Master Chief. Lol.), it has sparked questions:

Who is the entity that Cortana has defiyed?

I think that she may mean humans. Because, acording to my knowledge, defiy means to betray somthing that you were for. So it might mean that she has betrayed the humans some how.

In the video she says "I am your shield. I am your soul."

So it is very apperent that she has choosen a side or has told a very big lie. Cause, like I said, she was left with Gravemind. So maybe she either sided with Gravemind or has lied to Gravemind to get away from it and maybe side back with Master Chief. Or maybe it isn't even Gravemind at all.

Cortana also says "This is how the worlds ends."

I am completely lost as to wether this is giving a clue or not. I think that maybe, the artifact that we saw, may be a bomb, or a whole other race of creatures that may try to destroy Earth. I also think that Cortana might have just said that because at that time, she felt helpless.

But that's exactly why they're going to do it, for the drama it would cause. Don't worry, Bungie will make sure that he dies in a heroic way that will somehow save everyone else and defeat the Flood and the remaining Covenant forces at the same time. I think that Cortana will go rampant and try to activate the Ark once Master Chief is inside in order to protect him (Cortana has sworn to herself to never let anything harm John, and if he's inside the Ark, he will probably be safe from the blasts from the Halo installations, so she will activate the Halo installations to wipe out the Covenant and the Flood outside and prevent them from harming him), and that Master Chief will have to fight her (more drama) in order to stop the countdown. And perhaps even after he defeats her and she comes to her senses, he will find out that the activation can't be stopped and that he has to destroy the Ark somehow in order to stop it, perhaps in some technical maneuver like how the Pillar of Autumn was destroyed. But the maneuver will cost him his life, so John will sacrifice himself to destroy the Ark so that everyone else is saved. Afterwards the humans and the Arbiter's forces will be so moved by Master Chief's sacrifice that they will band together to wipe out the remaining Covenant/Flood armies.

I too would be "sad" if Master Chief died, but, no offense, I wouldn't cry. I would be more like shocked. I would be even more sad if like, before Master Chief dies, if he does, if they gave Master Chief a flash back through his whole life.

i personally think cortana has gone rampant and basically insane and will either side with gravemind. Or will possibly try something drastic to save john, where instead of cortana warning and stopping him from doing something wrong in HALO, he has to get her to stop and realize what she is doing (possibly by killing her off).

O and if chief dies i will be sad but im also sure they will have a big dramatic finalie!!!
