343 needs to listen to the loud fanbase in this case. Cortana is central to the story, there is no Master Chief without Cortana. All I have to say, if they don't bring her back, I'm through with Halo. Words cannot describe how disapointed I am at 343 Industries after the conclusion of Halo 4. Just like Guilty Spark always managed to royally piss off the players, I guess 343 Industries lives up to its name.
