Sierra1117 Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 So i was watching the hero awakens vidoc and I noticed something interesting. At 2:22, you can hear Jen Taylor saying "I'm not doing this for mankind" at first i just thought that it had to do with her rampancy, but in the script of the game, we see chief saying the same exact line to the Didact. I think they're connected, but I don't even know what to make of this. Could someone please help me out here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iTz Vplus2 Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Nice find, good attention to detail. So Cortana and Chief say the same thing, huh? Makes sense i guess since the whole story is about those two and their fight together. But i don't know what to think of this yet either. Could be part of rampancy, could be Cortana reading Chief's mind. Could be anything at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Element Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 i noticed the exact same thing, and it has me puzzled..... so if they're not doing whatever they're doing for mankind, then who or what is it for?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more of a personal thing, maybe the Didact killed someone close to chief. Halsey maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iTz Vplus2 Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Or maybe it's for Cortana and the Didact knows of a method to stop her rampancy. But then i don't know why she says it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuette Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 I noticed the same thing, but the script could of been a earlier version of the game, I just don't think they will say the same line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WonderWombat Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 so if they're not doing whatever they're doing for mankind, then who or what is it for?? Well the first trilogy may have been for mankind. Abd through his journey he is indirectly learning about the mantle. Which would lead to him now wanting to protect the galaxy.

Ryu♥Hayabusa Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 May be over thinking it. Could just be different versions of the script. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuette Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 lol, I just came up with a very very strange theory, what if, to make Cortana survive longer, they placed her inside Chief's body, and placed Chief in her body using Forerunner Technology like how Chakas was put into a monitor body. know it sounds strange, but wouldn't it be a sweet plot twist?

Which would lead to him now wanting to protect the galaxy. I don't see this as a possibility. The words don't fit. Or actually, there's a word missing. I think that if they were doing it for the galaxy, they'd say "I'm not doing this for mankind only" It's a small difference of 1 word, but i do think the fact they left that word, or a similiar one, out means that your theory isn't correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that it's not just different versions of the script, and it could be possible for Cortana to speak the same lines as chief, but I don't know how Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it may make perfect sense, we are just seeing it two different ways. Example: Didact: "Are you doing this for your species?!" Chief/Cortana "I'm not doing this for mankind." Didact: "Oh, then for whom?" Chief/Cortana: "Something bigger." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWD26 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 I think it's more of a personal thing, maybe the Didact killed someone close to chief. Halsey maybe? I doubt it, Because if you watch closely Chief states in one part when talking to Cortana that they would find halsey so she could fix cortana.

TWD26 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 I feel the same, I feel Cortana may die in one of the games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ember132 Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Another possibility, most of my friends who have noticed this seem puzzled why chief/cortana isn't doing this for man kind but who said it would even be about the halo 4 campaign plots and stuff. Could be a hint or something for later in the trilogy, i know it sounds out of the question but not everything has to be about the for plot lines. They hinted toward whats going to happen in about all the games. Example: In halo 3 ending of campaign, Chief: Wake me when you need me. and here we are in the beginning of halo 4 campaign with cortana waking up chief because SHE NEEDS HIM!!

Ember132 Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 this i guess could mean anything. It doesnt have to mean he wasnt killing prometheans or whatever. could mean anything. Gotta wait a while for that answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robius5991 Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 I concure.. this is rather puzzling. 343 is doing a good job of feeding us little bits of information without revealing any large amount of valuable information about the story all at once. I guess we may just need to wait until the actual game comes out for us to know for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer K34 Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 If you go back to the video where you can see the script it doesnt say chief says the line but cortana. ONLY cortana says she is not doing this for mankind. If you really want to dwelve into this theory Think about here origin, Doesnt it seem a little to convienient her avatar is the same as an Ancilla?

Chewin3 Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 As most people have already stated, it could be anything. Speculate is the only thing we can do at this point. I feel the same, I feel Cortana may die in one of the games. I have to admit, I'm a fan of the 'bittersweet stories', but that depends entirely on the execution of it, would 343i make such a decision.
