In the halo 3 documentary, Marty acknowledged that we don't know it's Cortana talking. For all we know this is an infected copy of her, or gravemind controlling here.

So post you theories as to what has happened to her.

there's no absolute way to know for sure about anything for Halo 3. But if you have read the Halo books, and know about some of the AI's in the Marathon series, then you might have come to the same conclusion that I have.

I believe that Cortana has finally gone Rampant. Rampancy is when an AI has basically gone crazy, and is uncontrollable. But it is also when it is its strongest. I don't think that when an AI goes Rampant, it has to be evil. That's what happened with the AI in the Marathon game, it went rampant and became tottaly evil. So if Cortana went Rampant, she could still be semi-evil, but still want to beat the Covenent; except that she will sacrificing whatever is possible to do so.

I'm probably wrong, but there it is.

No matter how many decoy copies Cortana can make of herself, the actual Cortana is still in High Charity's system. And Gravemind is in High Charity's system...

By saying "We don't know it's Cortana talking." probably means "We don't know that it's Cortana's words.. It might be her voice, but no one says it's her."

if you keep pausing and starting it, you will eventually see a clear picture of Cortana

Cortana is definately being infested, controlled, or something. That was NOT her. And the voice was so wierd.

Wow you're stupid.

By the way, if it IS a ghost, which many people have suggested, we know it will ride the wind LOL.


Seriously, Gravemind is making a hit single right now. Called DESTORY CHIEF with Cortana.

Arbiter, meanwhile, is flexing his mandibles, rocking with Johnson, the get-it-on-with-aliener, making their new song "Lips Dont Lie" due to his multple lips.

But, Daddy Yankee really makes me wonder how will Mc get his AR?

If he's on that godforshaken ship, how does he get off and later on get the AR? The AR, being a weapon the Chief hasn't dealt with in Halo 2, is an obvious sign that there are some Marines left, with an Armory, but still possibly on of the last Humans on Earth.

I was watching the H3 trailer over and over again when i heard cortana say "I know your past and your future." Wut if this is Cortana talking but its not really her talking, because Cortana was made directly from Dr. Halseys cloned brain, At times Dr. Halsey might be able to somehow communicate through Cortana, but on the first and second halo she couldn't communicate because cortana was out of range. but now she somehow found a way to talk through cortana even though she is still on the Halo. Maybe the secret mission she is on with the other spartans had her somehow "defying gods and demons." Also Dr. Halsey should know the Master chiefs past because she was with him all through training ever sence he was 6("I know your past and future") but I dont know how she would know his future unless the secret mission led her to an artifact that can see in the future. Also this would explain why the voice is all messsed up because its transmitting from far far away. What do you think?

No, bungie said cortana of some sort, and Marty acknowledged it may nto be cortana speaking at all.

For all we know this is a copy cortana made, or a gravemind-controlled cortana, or anything else.

I think the gravemind is the leader of the flood and he doesnt want halo activated b/c he doesnt want to have his flood killed, and i think it was cortana it didnt say that Master Chief heard her, she was just talking.
