Drizzy_Dan Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Cortana's gonna be on the verge of rampancy and they're gonna make it look like it's helpless to try to save her but BB probably works with her or something and she gets saved just in time to die in Halo 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Boo Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 7:3 and 2:1, As it says in the video, and other sources, A.I's deteriorate after seven years. Cortana has been in service for eight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jestermeister Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Very.. interesting choices. I'm pretty sure Cortana's going out, but not without a bang. She's definitely going rampant in H4 though, we've seen and can infer that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Biggles Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 i doubt 6:1 will happen, otherwise tbh, i don't see how halo 5 & 6 can continue. Like everyone else, i believe in 7:3 & 2:1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorB77 Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Cortana will turn into the number 7 7:7 Yes. This is what will happen But I think that she will come close to death and chief will find a way to save her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VivaLebowski Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Cortana turning Human would have some rather problematic...er...ramifications about her and MC's relationship. Heres the plot of the reclaimer trilogy: Cortana turns bad, helps bad guys almost destroy the world, redeems herself by sacrificing herself to end the ancient threat once and for all.

kingclothier Posted July 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 lebowski good theory and I'm personally believe the number 7 theory even though bungie aren't making the games its just the most logical explanation, but i was speaking with my friends and they think they might come into some forerunner tech that increases the A.I lifespan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Director Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Honestly, I think that Cortana will either die or find a way to "repair" herself on the alien planet that they are stuck on. While it is true that most AI's begin to degrade after 7 years, and most end up dying within 9 years, there have been cases of human made AI's throughout Halo Canon living longer than this without showing obvious signs of Rampancy. One example of this would be the "male" AI on Harvest in the book Contact Harvest. The Forerunners had the technology to make Artificial Intelligence that lasted for millenia before showing signs of Rampancy, so it is more than possible that they can find some of this technology and help repair Cortana. As far as Cortana turning on Chief goes, I think that is very unlikely to happen. Cortana has a very deep seated need to protect John, and with Rampancy this need will only increase. AI's that are charged with protecting things who go Rampant usually get VERY protective of the things that they were designed to protect. A for instance of this would be 343 Guilty Spark. He was charged with protecting his Halo, and was willing to watch the Galaxy burn to keep his Halo intact. Cortana will most likely follow this course of action as well, doing everything in her power to eliminate any possible threat to John. There is, in fact, no evidence to even support a theory of Cortana turning on John. The "I WILL NOT LET YOU LEAVE THIS PLANET" part of the trailer actually makes more sense if you think of it as she is talking to the enemy rather than John, who will agree with her mindset in that situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you Director she will fight until her last moment but it does pose a serious question if Promeathean's are trying to get off the Forerunner planet how would they you can't just hitch a ride on the UNSC Infinity on the outside you have to sneak inside and even then an AI could pick them up once there inside the ship and alert the entire ship to enemies being on board unless they have there own ship's then that could pose a major problem to the universe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Element Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 i KNOW that cortana will go rampant at some point in halo 4, but i think chief will have to destroy cortana because she will endanger the crew of the Infinity. In the trailer, cortana says she wont let them leave the planet and i think the only way for chief escape is by destroying cortana....... its a sad thought though... i liked having someone talking to me inside my helmet in some of those lonely campaign missions it also may be possible that chief could turn to the forerunners to fix cortana after she goes rampant..... but it seems most likely that the forerunners will have a role as enemies in halo 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Cortana will go insane which will lead Master Chief (John) to kill her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Complete Loser Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Cortana will go insane which will lead Master Chief (John) to kill her. I heavily doubt that Jan Cortana is the 2nd main charecter so I highly doubt they'll kill her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your telling me, Cortana's pure white demonically possessed eyes does not immediately cue you in that she is at the very least rampant, and more likely, an antagonist, at least on a temporary basis. 343 has been harping on this rampancy thing this entire time...I will bet you 10$ over Paypal, Director, that she is going to, by the end of Halo 4, be insane, evil, or both.
