I mean, they made her all.. sexified. i mean, bigger boobs, dark hair and dark lips? i for one don't like it. She was never supposed to have any sex appeal in my opinion and to go and give her that kind of makeover was really just unnecessary, probably just a ploy to sell the game to a wider audience. And i'm pissed, because she was my favorite character. She's like the girl next door who was your best friend until she changed herself for an audience who won't even appreciate her for who she is.
Hot Cortana is bad.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Wolverfrog It's the aesthetic representation of her personality; every game she thinks herself more and more human, and every game she diverges more and more away from that original loosely-formed purple avatar with little definition and looks more real and like the 'aspirational woman'. [/quote] Except in Halo 4 her "aspirational woman" attitude seems more like "aspirational praying mantis" with her seeming desire to go insane.

I think she's hot, but I don't think she needs to be to be an interesting character. Personally I would've liked her better if they had moved more in the direction of the geeky scientist type, like Serina with her labcoat. But...eh, its not that bad. Could be worse, could be better.
-
Well, she has had more than 4 years of doing nothing. Of course she would mess around with some things, her avatar included. I personally don't mind the new look, I think I might be more focused on other things about her, like her growing Rampancy or yelling at the Captain of the Infinity and stuff.

Her wanting to be a real person is her going insane.

Cortana's look change is a minor detail. I really would be more annoyed if say, they changed the look of the Forward unto dawn, or put the new UNSC symbol on it. Or even neglected to include the MA5C sitting beside chief's cryo tube.

-
I am dissapointed of new Cortana's design and other new designs by 343, that's why I decided let Halo go, I just want to remember it a Halo game and not a compilation of several games in one, in order to survive.
-
I think people are being way too harsh on what is only a design for a character who is, mostly just a voice in your head. Besides, there's logic behind it. She wants to be more human, she makes it happen.

Dude what ever is goin' on, the look of Cortana is -blam!- ugly. I wish she for one wouldn't have some 'malfunction' or a -blam!- hard mission dedicated to her OR when that isn't happening she's nagging you... "Chief", "Chief". "CHIEF!" "WHAT!" "Titties" I ALSO hate how they try to get sex appeal with her. Like anyone cares. Dude all I have to say is Bungie did better. There I said it.

She was pretty in Halo 3. She looks less than pretty in Halo 4, sorry 343i.
-
Someone doesn't remember the first time everyone saw Cortana's boobs bounce in the E3 2007 trailer and the subsequent reaction.
-
No. I'm seriously disappointed too. I don't get it - why change perfection?

We're just, by nature pessimistic and nostalgic.

She pretty much stayed the same up to Halo 4. They can justify her changes in appearence because AI's have the ability to do so, but, I think 343 thinks they need to change everything when really Cortana was fine how she was.
-
I liek meh Halo 3 Cortana with bouncy boobz she was 1337, ossim possim, possim grade ossim. But in all seriousness I prefer the older iterations of Master Chief's AI companion.
-
Well from a canon perspective, Cortana took on the looks of Halsey and Halsey was supposedly quite the looker. But I personally don't mind it. She changes with the games. [Edited on 07.31.2012 3:17 PM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] NebuchadnezzaRT Cortana has changed every game, as evidenced by your link. Although her new appearance may seem to invoke sex appeal (Didnt Jason Jones call Cortana "everyone's dream girlfriend?) Personally I think she is trying to model herself to look more human to appeal to John, or is trying to achieve humanity, being driven mad by her AI limitations. Or, 343i could just be trying to show their new ownership of the series. [/quote] Didn't Cortana call him attractive in the Fall of Reach?

[/quote] Halo 2 Cortana sported obvious differences to 1, and the same with 3 to 2.
-
I honestly think she looks good in Halo 4. This is just new tech advancing and updating her appearance to match. Each Halo game has done the same thing.
-
I think Halo 3 Cortana was perfect. Halo CE graphics just weren't good enough. Halo 2 looked pretty good, although the hair was a bit to straight, and now Halo 4 looks like a hooker.
-
Halo 3 Cortana is best she has the right amount of sex appeal but to much and i like the personality and voice is better, than the halo 4 trailer.
-
I thought she was hotter in H 3 to be honest.
