Cortana to Play an ‘Active’ Role in Halo 4?

Cortana already plays a pretty big role,that mission were you had to rescue her (on legendary solo) almost made me break my controller, also, cortana should not be the focal point, the unknown planet should. Just my opinion

If the rumors turn out to be true, I'd like some more insight on Cortana and her story, she's been vital to the series so far.

so does this mean cortana will be a playable character and will be able to do a few missions with her and chief?

Thanks, I have been working hard on finding info on Halo and much more!

Maybe, that would be cool to play as her.

This should be very interesting, and cool. Makes me happy to hear this info. Thanks John.

good work John, i dont know where you dig this info from sometimes...

Good idea.

Thanks, I have my sources!

I just wonder how cortana would be playable, are w just gona move about with her or are we gonna be able to pick up guns and stuff and kill like MC.

 

interesting to hear more information on this.

playing as cortana would be awkward, after the style of a spartan it would probably be an instant change to a different style of gameplay, but right now its only speculation and might not even happen.

They should let us play as cortana as a reward for beating the game on ledgendary solo. I am so tired of beating the games on Ledgendary solo and not get rewarded for it at all except some meaningless gamerscore.

Very interesting..

It will probably have to do with her life climaxing seeing as she can only live for a few years.

Or maybe due to some forerunner technology she evolves into something better?

like a female master chief? damnnnnnn we can see where that is going....xD

You never know the Halo story is now wide open, could follow the books or take us somewhere else

Seriously, this site is awesome. I love how hard you dig to find all this info. Thanks, I can't wait to see how they import Cortana into Halo 4.

I think this ancient evil is a whole group of rampant AIs and cortana it torn between rampancy and her love of masterchief

Or maybe due to some forerunner technology she evolves into something better?

Perhaps, I really want to see where this goes, how it works.

If the planet is onyx then something very interesting could happen with cortana

how would you play as cortana O_o maybe in the computer system idk :/

My friend don't know what to think about it when i told him but I like it as long as the storys epic

If rumors are to be believed then Microsoft Studios’ upcoming project Halo 4 could see the artificially intelligent (AI) character Cortana to play a leading role in the game.

 

Previously, it was rumored that Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary will also feature a beta version of Halo 4 in its ‘Extras’ panel in the menu. Now it is believed that Halo 4 will see the graphical representation of Cortana is a livelier form.

 

"I can tell you Cortana's going to be a focal point of Halo 4, for sure." Said Frank O'Connor, 343's franchise development director, during an interview with OXM (Official Xbox Magazine). "I think a lot of people are speculating on Cortana's age and the effects of age on an AI, there's this thing called Rampancy which is really just any AI thinking itself to death and Cortana's been around for a while and most AIs have a lifespan of seven years.”

 

 

O’Connor has hinted that Cortana will not be limited to a graphical imagery AI in the new version of Halo alongside Master Chief. This is expected to alter the game’s storyline and give it a more detailed plot. If Cortana is to play an active character alongside the chief then it will come as a bonus with the game.

 

"Cortana's a little bit different in that she's been exposed to a lot more technology and information than other AIs via the Forerunner lore and mythos. But her state of mind, her relationship with the Chief, they're all going to be core elements of the story and the 'human drama' as it were in Halo," O’Connor added.

 

“Set in the aftermath of Halo 3, Master Chief returns to confront his own destiny and face an ancient evil that threatens the fate of the entire universe. Halo 4 marks the start of a new trilogy that begins with its release in 2012,” says the official Halo 4 website.

 

Halo 4 will arrive on Xbox 360 in the fourth quarter of 2012, according to an OXM report.

that was a very good post i was hopeing we would our or hands on halo 4 beta with combat evo. anyway dito cortana will be a major role in the 1st part 2 343s new saga.

There has been a lot of talk about the amount of time that has passed between the end of H3 and start of H4. They are trying to work in some of the armor upgrades are due to this time span (not sure how that works out). But anyways The time span can't be more than a few years at most because of Cortana's age. The whole trilogy needs to wrap I would say within a ten year period of time. Unless they figure out away to overcome AI Rampancy.

 

I will be disappointed if they completely over look the age issue with Cortana.
