Sorry if its old, but here goes. I noticed something about Cortana.

At exactly 30 seconds, give or take a few milliseconds... the blue flashing that is "cortana's" transmission, briefly takes the form of an unmistakeable handprint as if "cortana in some form or another" as bungie stated, may truly be dr. halsey.


Evidence thus far (1)is in the Fall of Reach book in which it says cortana is modeled after dr. halsey herself (the image)..
(2) no numbers or calculations running through cortana's frame... actually her face is solid. im not sure if it always has been but for some reason i remember numbers and lines running through there as well. (3) at ~32 seconds there is a distorted image of "cortana, in which it seems to have longer, more human like hair... but that could again just be distortion. (4) shortly after there appears to be a human made ship or structure... also in the same blue haze, but clearly distinguishable as an object, though i cannot be precise. (5) at thirty six seconds, also appears a more human looking form of "cortana" (6) a counter evidence, though is at approximately 51 seconds, in which you can see cortanas frame around here neck and shoulders (7) by far the most human looking cortana i have ever seen occurs at ~1:08 but still the frame is on the upper torso, maybe an explanation to that is some kind of armor shes wearing? but now im just stretching things.

By far the most supporting evidence though i believe is the hand print... it seems a very human gesture to place a hand on for instance glass, as if you are missing something on the other side.


Let me know what you think guys, i found all of this by playing in windows media player at slow play speed, and pausing and playing frame by frame. Check it out yourself!

Halsey is in her elderly years by now.

That is Cortana. Bungie just tries to hide the fact when they talk about her that she's not herself.

Yes, Halsey is in her late forties if not fifties.
