When Cortana was uploaded into Halos Central System, she got "so much knowlage so fast", therefore would know about the other rings, the arc, possibly Gravemind and also have access to schematics for Forerunner Tech, like the mark 14 suit 343 was on about during the Library.

Wouldn't the Forerunner also have a timeline embedded within their data banks.

This may have stopped the production of 3 kick ass games, but it could have at least been hinted at during game play.

Any thoughts?

If you had read the books you would know she dumped most of that. I think it was into a computer bank or a memory chip. Don't quote me on the last part, but I know she got rid of a lot of info. She was trying to prevent her own rampancy.

Yeah, it would have basically killed her. But from what I remember in the books and I've seen in the games (As well as what I've seen in the preview), the damage was already done. Shes pretty much going nuts methinks.

I have a feeling she'll be one of the threats in Halo 3 honestly.

That's right. My plumage is brighter than yours.

Well, technically, she kept all that info. Remember, she made clones of herself, and she copied seperate different files of herself into the clones. She said herself in the book that she was able to operate at full capacity, now, even with Halos info.

She's still got it.

The reason she doesnt know all this data is that in the books Cortana says that it would take her a whole week to figure it all out and she simply didnt have enough time to do that and to leave it up ONI when they got bak and ONI is trying to figure all that out

Lame! I hope Peter Jackson rewrites the Halo story.

In that case, I hope Peter Jackson burns in Hell.

well there was no mark 14 suit, he was saying his armor was only a 4 on the forerunners scale, so he prolly wont get no mark 14 armor, cause if he did he would pawn faces.
