Halo Pony Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 It was really sad when Cortana died in the Halo 4 Campaign. But will she come and help John defeat the Covenant? I think it would be really cool if she did come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeker of Truth Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 No, it wouldn't. It would be stupid, actually, for four reasons. 1) It would make her sacrifice in Halo 4 completely meaningless. 2) There is no possible way she could have survived. First, she more or less tore herself apart, getting all that data back together would have been a problem regardless of the circumstances. Secondly, that nuclear weapon would have vaporized everything in the surrounding area, including the systems supporting her. Finally, if by some miracle fragments of her had "clung on" on other parts of the ship, they would have degraded pretty quickly in space. 3) Even before the final encounter at the Composer, she seemed to be "dying" from rampancy. 4) Halo 4's story would become pointless.

VinWarrior Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Probably not, she gave everything for chief and it was a, how do I put this.... Sacrificial story, plus if by a miracle she were alive they would have had to recovered her by the epilouge or she is toast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make a lot of people upset if they did not bring her back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halo Pony Posted January 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 There is my point there I understand how Cortana sacrificed everything for Master Chief but what will be the story of Halo 5..nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skummgummigubbe Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 most guys said the same about sgt johnson but i can't find any thread that they rant about halo 4 is incomplete without sgt johnson and i understand cortana is a bigger character than sgt johnson so i dont think they after halo 4 just drop her, remember in halo 3 she was out of the game to 60%, i belive they will have less cortana in halo5, but i belive they will try to rebuild her from halsey or make a completly new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
36-2071 Pragmatic Avarice Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 A new AI would put the Chief in an awkward position straying away from UNSC and ONI task forces. It'd be the sole plot gadget for Halo 5 when, the things that had spiraled out of control, get even worse. He's both coping with the loss of Cortana, while being dragged around like a machine in ancient ruins on a Halo ring, and back inside Requiems bowels.

Warwolfrider Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 what if they made a new cortana and when chief puts the new AI in his head/suit she starts having memories of the old cortana and thought out halo 5 ....just saying might be a way to bring her back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Commander Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 The way I see it, it's possible some fragments of her may still be among the wreckage of the Didact's ship. But i doubt there is enough to do anything with. Cortana spoke of the Master Chief possibily getting another AI of her class, which seems to imply they UNSC copied her design at some point. A different class of AI entirely is another possibility, or no AI. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squally DaBeanz Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 If they WERE to bring her back, what I could see happening is the UNSC making another Cortana model from Halsey's brain. However, remember when she touched Chief's chest at the end before she stepped away and the ship collapsed? Maybe some memory or personality fragment is still inside Chief's suit, and will merge with the new AI, slowly turning the "new Cortana" back into what she was before (except for the whole rampancy thing XD). Of course, this is all speculation, and is dependant on if 343 even decided to do something like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefish54501 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 well your both wrong Cortana died when the composer was destroyed and Halo is not about Cortana its about the chief and that is what Halo 5 and 6 will be about and if she did come back it would make Halo 4 pointless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying they will, cuz I doubt they will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForgeMonitor Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 I think she will come back, but hopefully it will be in Halo 6--in Halo 5, I want to see what Arby has been up to the past four years. He will be Chief's companion for the game. If Cortana came back so soon after she died, it would be rather pointless. Think of it this way: she's not really gone; she's just not here right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorB77 Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 It would be cool to bring her back in spirit. Have chief see visions are hear some of her famous quotes. I do not think she should be brought back or revived unless that is the main plot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
36-2071 Pragmatic Avarice Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 I somehow think Halo 5 would involve Halsey directing chief on separate missions from her standpoint and not the UNSC's. It'll be acquisition and reconnaissance if anything. It would also be an interesting turn from being a UNSC windup toy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flippant Sol Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 I thought that she turned into a data purge floating somewhere in the middle of space... Isn't it possible that a ship AI could be possessed by this purge and at the very least obtain data and memories from the purge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum TecHz Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 If you've seen the movie "WALL-E" you would understand what I'm talking about more, If you remember from that movie how WALL-E temporarily lost his memory and got reset. I guess they could do this with Cortana, how they make a new AI with her same characteristics but won't remember the Chief so they would kind of have to rebuild their bond together.. I don't know if they still want to do the whole idea of make the game more about Cortana's and Master Chief's relationship and stuff. But I guess it's an alright idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Whitehead Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 I reckon cortana will make a comeback. I think halo 5 and 6 will be about chief losing interest in everything and only focusing on cortana and in the end she'll be stored in on of the didacts terminals like when he stored the ancient humans (now promethian knights) and they'll find a way of reversing the composer making cortana human, obviously there'll be a side threat eg. Didact... But chief will win and 343i will not kill chief off at the end of the trilogy because I'll rip Frank O'Connor's heart out and feed it to Hippo-mice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umm here is one thing if the nuke would have vaporized it would have killed both Master Chief and Cortana. If it had obliterated her than how did she save chief from the explosion?

If it had obliterated her than how did she save chief from the explosion? There are two possible answers to this Q. 1) She accessed the suit via wireless and for a moment created a within his mind using the Didacts system resources a vr cube where she could interact with the chief for a time. 2) Using the Didacts ships hard light emitters she created the hard light space and a projection of herself to say goodbye.

The Stig Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 If she doesn't, I'm sure she will at least be either mentioned, referenced, or have a cameo appearance (like a flashback, or image, or hidden Easter egg, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 117 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 I think chief will have hillusionations (sorry for spelling) of cortana, like halo 3. I think the story will be about chief trying to findHalsey or some pieces to try to build cortana out of rage and the UNSC will not understand what he is trying to do.
