WTF?! WHY would you did they to us?

Okay.. so we've all seen the amazing Halo 3 trailer, it's pretty freaken great. /love

Anyways to my point.. During the Halo 3 trailer Cortana is saying some pretty eratic things, this is the way the world ends, I am your shield, yada yada.

Notice how John in no way acknowledges that she is speaking with him in the trailer, she doesn't say she is speaking with him, he just keeps walking, etc...

What if Cortana isn't talking to John, but is corrupted and talking to the Gravemind? Maybe she is sort of on his side say she is his shield and sword. As in she has much tactical information about the humans and Earth and that them working together is the way the world ends?

REMEMBER this is JUST a theory no need to flame me about it, name calling and -blam!- is for little kids, if my post has some how upset you it was not intended to and if it has been posted before... whatever lol =P Thanks for your time =D

UPDATE

She says she has defied gods and demons. To the monitors humans are reclaimers, which in some sense to them might be gods, and to the covenant they are demons, yet another reason why in my post she is probably controlled by the gravemind now.

Another double post with even more proof of her sideing with Gravemind.. In the trailer you can hear Cortana say I know your past, your future. It could be possible that she has absorbed/gained information from Gravemind himself and knows his plans and what he is actually able to achieve with her help.

First, John is most likely on Earth, judging by the debris that is shown on the trailer.

Second, Cortana is on High Charity, so she couldn't be talking to him.

Other than that, it's an alright little theory.

Wow did I make myself look dumb. I should have stated there was no way for them to communicate, what I was trying to get across was that other theorys said that maybe she had a new way to communicate with him, I knew both were light years away sorry I did not make that clear, thanks for clearin' it up for me =D

Ooh gamertag by any chance? Lol j/k. It's great to see female members of the community, rock on! Anyways, so does my idea seem valid, after looking over the trailer many times I tried to think of a way her "speech" could have a different meaning than what people would obviously think. Another thing I just thought of was, what if she isn't on High charity? It is half-way through the game, they could be anywhere!

I think that they just made the trailer, and then added the cortana talking later. Maybe it's Cortana talking to the Master Chief in her head, like she's pretending he can hear here, and what would she say if he was there, etc. I suspect that if this runs as a cinematic in the game, cortana won't be talking in the cinematic in the actual game.

I was thinking that it might just be added for more effect to the trailer as-well. But I really doubt the part about her talking to MC in her head. Why would she? Do AI's even have that ability?

Dark Jester 86 is the Gamer tag.

Does anyone know where High Charity is? I mean it can be driven for those who don't know. That's how the flood will get to Earth probably. The point I'm trying to make is wht if they aren't in High Charity any more. For all we know the Flood could be flying all those Banshees to the Forerunner structure (ARK!), and be the ones piloting the cruisers. (Sorry if those aren't cruisers I'm not going to check my covenant pictures of ships to figure out what they are. It would take too long.)

So Cortana and the Flood could be anywhere, and again yes High Charity can be piloted.

Yep, I believe I stated this in a previous post that High Charity can be literally anywhere.

Sorry to double post but I have come across (thanks to Killer Grunt partly) another way Cortana seems to be working with the gravemind, I will take a quote from what I said in his thread.

Well they aren't GALAXIES away, they are in the milky way. Oh and yes, it is obvious she isn't talking to MC I was just adding that to debunk some of other peoples theories.

MC is on Earth, at least in the trailer he is, for whoever said he might not be.

It's possible for Cortana to communicate with the Chief on Earth(hm, maybe she does love him to keep in touch lightyears away), since High Charity must have long-range communication(or maybe even if High Charity is near). Or it's another one of Gravemind's tricks taunting the MC. I'm picturing MC on Earth..suddenly hears static distortion in his helmet, then flickering images within his visor of Cortana crying for help, or to warn him, or sinisterly appearing to him. A rampantly insane Cortana would be scary...

Most likely the flickers of Cortana has nothing to do with MC on Earth. Just to show you Cortana's state of being...

Cortana seemed skeptical of her own motives even before she met the MC. I think there were hints she has hidden ambitions of her own. Well, no one's around to keep her in check now...

Wouldn't MC acknowledge her speaking to him? Especially if it was just sudden. I think he would stop walking towards the ark and try to communicate with her some how..
