Did we kill Cortana?
I know this may be a better post in the general gaming section but I hope it will have some better responses over here than there.
I also prefer to say this here than the 343/Waypoint/whatever-it-is forums..
This has been nagging at me for a while now and I recently went to the Halo wiki to confirm some things..
Just want to note: this is all my options and standpoint and I never "wanted" Cortana to die and I know most everyone else didn't either.
This is what I have observed from the whole "Cortana being rampant" discussion.
You know, we didn't have to kill Cortana. She was still "ok" at the end of Halo 3. She was only 4 years old at the end of Halo 3. 2249-2553. Halo 4 started sometime in 2557, four years after the Halo event. (4 years, 7 months, 10 days to be more accurate) She "died" probably in August 2257. Halo 4 didn't have to start 4 years and 7 months after the end of Halo 3..
We expected her to already be becoming rampant at the end of halo 3 and so we "wanted" her to be rampant and dying in Halo 4 when we really shouldn't have. Everyone was expecting her to be very rampant in Halo 4 even though we only left her at 4 years old in Halo 3. Yes those 4 years fit in to the timeline of the Kilo-Five Trilogy and the Infinity and such but still.. I know that the Gravemind and the Forerunner technology really ended up hurting her though. I can't shake the feeling that she could have survived or at least not been soo rampant if we the fans hadn't been so quick to judge her demise..
Yes I was one of the people who assumed she was older than she really was and assumed her to be going rampant.. Sad and unfortunate.

I hope so

2 RepliesOh please, her AND Johnson are both still alive.

Who's we? Do you work for 343?

She'll be back for Halo 6, somehow. 343 had the balls to develop the love interest, and i think that once the series is done, everyone will want the happy ending for the hero that made xbox, that we have all grown up with. Everything comes to it's end, but her end is not now, neither is Halo's.

5 RepliesAll I know is that the chief shouldn't have Cortanas chip as that shit got disintegrated.

343 wanted to delve deeper into the characters we know and love. We can see this through Master Chief speaking more than all of the Halo games combined, and Cortana looking like a pair of fake eyebrows and a wig floating on a hologram. But at least Cortana dying gave them something to talk about when Chief wasn't ruining his role as usually silent-protagonist whose actions should speak louder than his words. But it IS interesting, seeing Cortana going through rampancy. I did my homework, it seems Cortana has passed a phase of rampancy where she could be considered a human being. An interesting start to the story, I just hope 343 doesn't end up milking halo. Don't get me wrong, I liked the Halo 4 campaign (at least turn up the music, the soundtrack is good).

1 Replythis is the third time. [i]third time[/i] i have tried to respond to this thread with a wall of text only to accidentally click my profile picture in an attempt to check my messages. i am so done

2 RepliesShe didn't die. You think she did but she didn't. At the end of Halo 3 runs off with Mustard Chef's best friend (Mayonnaise Chef) and they have a baby called Apprentice Chef. If you actually payed attention when you played the game you would know that.

4 RepliesShes not dead, 343 would never kill off one of the most iconic gaming characters ever, besides, there was more than one "cortana", the others were either failures or not finished, they may still be out there

Edited by Stalwart: 3/1/2014 5:15:11 PMShe needed to die in Halo 4. It's good-- now the Chief has to deal with his own humanity instead of Cortana doing that for him. It adds a whole other layer to his personality, and opens up a ton of plot ideas for Halo 5.

She also got captured and tortured by the Gravemind which doesn't help.

It's OK. She's a computer. They can just pull out a backup copy.

THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU-- THEY REPLACED YOU!

9 RepliesEdited by Egerspurge: 2/28/2014 5:44:45 AMShe's not dead. 343 will just come up with some ancient forerunner bullshit that brings her back.

2 RepliesThere may be another Cortana but as she said [quote]it won't be me[/quote] [spoiler]*cries*[/spoiler]

4 RepliesA.I. shed parts of them to survive trouble and pain such as the Alpha did to create epsilon, omega, sigma, etc; You might say that RvB isn't cannon to halo's storyline, but Cortana did fragment her rampant spikes into the didact's ship, meaning that a valid, uncorrupted Cortana could be brought back in Halo
-
8 RepliesWell, Chief has Cortana's chip with him on that planet. (Still not sure what planet it is, but it looks like the Ark to me.) But wasn't she in the mainframe of the Didact's ship when the panel disintegrated? Might be a little tricky.

I banged her and now she is living with me in secrecy. She be working at dat gentlemen's club!
