How did cortana know Master Chief in Halo 1? *May contain spoilers*

At the start of Halo 1, cortana speaks to Master chief like they know eachother, I thought she was a forrunner A.I?

  • If I remember right she basically has Halsey's knowledge and personality all up in her. 117 is Halsey's Favorite spartan.

  • She didn't, really. She knew he was on board 'cause she picked him for the mission and everything. But if not for that borderline fan fiction tripe that is the books, the game has nothing in it to suggest that when MC comes to the bridge isn't the first time they meet. Heck, the line "careful, there's two of us in here now, remember?" is pretty much a "y halo thar, you new in town?" [Edited on 10.11.2010 2:57 AM PDT]

[/quote] Don't call him an idiot just because he didn't realise he had to read a 2nd-rate pulp novel tie-in to understand what was going on in the game he bought. I would in fact go so far to say it would be quite reasonable to expect to understand the events of the game just by playing it.

  • Heres the facts i have the journal. Cortana helped the MC before reach. But doing the time he was fighting halsey was upgrading another copy of cortana. And on reach you was handing over the 2nd copy which cortana would then absorb to gain the new information. So in other words theres 2 copys and then merge to one. Oh and cortana and cheif get along so well due to cortana being harlsey in AI form and they have a close bond due to johns training and up bringing

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Samhiuys Read the books you damn idiot, actually I didn't read it as well, but at least I will go look for facts. Cortana is splitted into two, one goes with Chief on missions BEFORE the Battle Of Reach. The other half of Cortana resides on Reach with Halsey to research about the Forerunner artifacts. Cortana discovered Halo so she had chosen Noble Six as her carrier and was delivered to the Pillar of Autumn. She then merged back with her other self and gave the coordinates of the location of Halo to Keyes. They slipspace jumped to Halo and the Covenant army followed. Master Chief wakes up and takes the Cortana that is COMPLETED OMFG with him and finished the fight. [/quote] Dude stay off the Acid there...

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SeventhEnigma Constructed by Halsey. Was operational before Reach, did mission's with MC (Somewhat). She's not a forerunner A.I, she just downloaded all the forerunner data. MEH! Wiki it damn you![/quote] Yup he's right, Human A.I. Reach story just messes this up big time. Same goes for the non existing noble team. Anyhow She/it is a copy of Halsey's brain

  • And this is still the part of the story that confuses me the most... what was the significance of the ''latchkey'' data packet that Halsey took from Noble team? Was it the forerunner data or something else? Just wondering because I don't understand why the civilians in that municipal building had it and it wasn't explained that well.

  • Halsey inferred that (or at least made it sound like) Cortana was a forerunner AI, but I took that to mean she was just imbued with the old Forerunner data recovered from the glacier ruins... So she is like a human & forerunner hybrid AI in a way.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] DooMBrIIngeR At the start of Halo 1, cortana speaks to Master chief like they know eachother, I thought she was a forrunner A.I?[/quote] She's a UNSC AI, not forerunner. But I remember almost being confused to that effect the first time I played through Reach. I really don't know why Bungie is so against making their story clear. I remember a huge thread on here the other day where regular b.net posters were all trying to work out what was actually buried down there. You'd think, what with being a pivotal plot point, it would have been understood better...

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] DooMBrIIngeR [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] bungieisbroken halsey let her pic any spartan she wanted. Chief was her choice.[/quote] No she chose noble 6 but he died.[/quote] She chose Noble Six... to GET HER SAFELY TO MASTER CHIEF. He was her courier to the Pillar of Autumn, nothing more. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Andrew O260 ...but in reach halsy siad tht cortana was a forerunner A.I but i dont get it...in reach she saysits forerunner...all evidence points that halsy create cortana...so wich is it!? P.S. i have no idea where to get any of the books around where i live[/quote] Jesus. Halsey never [i]says[/i] that Cortana is a Forerunner AI. She says, and I quote, that Cortana is the "custodian" of the data contained in the Forerunner relic. That doesn't mean she was created by the Forerunners. It simply means she was put there (by Halsey) to sift through the collected data therein and safeguard it from falling into Covenant hands.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Fenix0742 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] DooMBrIIngeR [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Fenix0742 No, Cortana is not a forerunner AI. She knows the Chief because they ran some training missions before the Battle of Reach.[/quote] But wasn't she created around the end of reach?[/quote] I believe I understand why you are confused. The game wasn't really clear on it, but some of the literature (such as the Journal that came with the limited/Legendary editions) explains a few things: Cortana was able to split herself. She broke off a few of her hacking/translation subroutines so that she could be in two places at the same time: The main part of her was with the Chief/Pillar of Autumn assisting with the fight, and the translation part was with Halsey under SWORD base deciphering the Forerunner artifact. While Noble is defending the base during the Package, Cortana's translation subroutines are finalizing the decription. What is discovered at this point is the location of what turns out to be the first Halo (although no one knows this at this point, only that it might help in the war). N6 then is tasked with taking this part of Cortana to the Pillar of Autumn. Once that happens, the two parts of Cortana are joined together, and the Pillar jumps to the coordinates.[/quote] Ok. So she wanted to go to the first halo ring....

  • Cortana met Chief in a test run of the new Mk. V armor.
