Subject: Proof That It Isnt Cortana In The Trailer

I havnt been on here in few weeks so i dont know if anyone has mentioned this already or not...but I have proof that it is NOT Cortana in the Halo 3 trailer. But I also have a theory that controdicts (sp?) this as well.

I recently began reading that Halo novels again and was rather shocked when I came across this line in "First Strike."

"She heard the other AI scream, an echo of an echo that reverberated through her processors. She knew the sound---familiar like a human voice, but terribly distorted."

It is the entire third paragraph which starts on line #9 and is located on page 68


Now of course I imediatly thought of the Halo 3 trailer and how that seemed to be exactly what Cortana was doing. There is even a picture here on Bungie.net in the storyboards section of Cortana screaming. http://www.bungie.net/images/games/halo3/storyboards/E32 006/h3_e32006_storyboard02_cortana.jpg
Based on the quote from the passage, it became clear that it wasnt really Cortana at all and that it might be a Covenant AI that Cortana is once again in a cyber battle with.

After I thought about it for a while though, I realized that it could in fact actually be Cortana, but SHE is the one being attacked.

The way I see it...one of the two has to be true if there is a reference to an AI screaming and becoming distorted in the books...the question is...which one??? O_o

Halo CE = Lan party
Halo 2 = Live
The reason so many people think halo 2 takes no skill is because in halo ce the only competition were friends in the next room. when the same people get on live, they realize they are no where close to being the best and therefore blame their loss on unbalance in the weapons and game.

my gamercard

it is cortana in the trailer, its was proven in an interveiw with bungie reps after teh triler was shown in gameinformer magazine and other magazines and websties.

WTF?! WHY would you did they to us?

I am not trying to be rude when I say, how did that disprove it being Cortana? Or a battle with another AI?

Cortana has either gone rampant, or Gravemind is controlling her, you can hear his voice when you begin to hear Cortana speak in the trailer...

hey i think the same way u do. i think one other thing. cortona is now part of the covanant. in the trailer she said she has betrayed gods and demons. to the covanant the master chief is a demon. i think she betrayed the humans and joined the covanant.

Yes. the books and game go hand-in-hand.

Is it Cortana? Well, yes and no. Methinks it's a 'wolf in sheep's clothing' kind of thing...

Bungie has not said that. They have said that the books are the exact same story as the games, but the books are mainly there for the fans who would like to know more about the story.

Where do you think all the new stuff in Halo 2 made it's debut(sp?). The books.
