@Calo Nord Based take, red pilled even. I’d say 5’s story fucked everything to the point where there wasn’t really a good choice, just the best of bad choices.

This game made me cry. This means so much to me to have a halo game again. I hate what they did with 5 but I think this game fixes it the best way possible with what they had messed up. You can tell how traumatized chief is from losing Cortana and how he is slowly regaining his humanity. And I like how In her final moments, the crazy insane Cortana did what she could to make it right. I like how her remaining scattered echoes of data were just whispers and messages to John of what the good part of her, the REAL her, wanted to tell him. She died in 4, The halo 5 Cortana wasn’t her but the part of her that remained shined through the evil. The weapon will not replace Cortana, and she will always be with us in a way. :)
Maybe I’m just in denial but I would have liked if weapon still had Cortana’s memories from when she was copied. That way she’s still a new ai and all but she’s not in the dark about the events of the previous 5 games

An unsettling, doomed couple, with no future. A brainwashed killing machine mutant with almost no social skills and AI with no physical body, with a design flaw and a short lifespan. None of them has been created to be happy and yet they've managed to find happiness in each other, despite all their flaws, despite even being part of a terrifying war. Yet with Weapon... It's more like a man and a girl. And Johns mission was to look after Weapon so she wouldn't get in trouble. John is more like a father here. But this sad ending yet feels somewhat settling. Weapon won't replace Cortana even if she will pick her name, not for Chief at least. He and Cortana had a long journey alongside each other, and this journey has left a huge print in both of them. This print still remains in John but there is nothing in Weapon... Yet she is resembling Cortana, reminds John what he has lost and probably didn't cherish enough when he had a chance. Reminds him that he's not just a war machine, evokes humanity within him. He had enough to learn from his mistakes too. But also they've both done a lot for Weapon to be created. She is their child to a certain extent. In my opinion, it's a truly profound ending to this unusual yet beautiful story
She's not a true copy, I'd say she's more like a little sister. A true copy would've been created from Cortana herself, we've SEEN copies of Cortana before in the books. The Weapon is not that. Halsey created her by replicating the same process that had created Cortana in the first place which was possible because she used had her own brain to create Cortana. A Smart AI's creation has to do with using a human brain, typically a dead human since the process destroys the brain. Kind of like Athena springing from the mind of Zeus in Greek Mythology. For Cortana, Halsey used a clone of her own brain with her memories copied over into it. In Halo: Shadows of Reach, Blue Team retrieved Halsey's surviving cloned brains from Cortana's creation which allowed her to replicate the process and in effect, create a new Cortana.
@@xxxhero7275 Not really. Copies don't work like that in Halo canon. We've SEEN Cortana copies before in the EPIC novel Halo: First Strike. Cortana got that ability from a Covenant AI that she had destroyed on a Covenant flagship that she, the Master Chief, Johnson a few other survivors of the original Halo game hijacked in order to get home. She could only make partial copies of herself with abilities limited to the routines of herself that she had copied. She made a copy of herself to help better crack the Covenant language using what she had learned from the ship's systems and the Covenant AI and she later made one of her infiltration routines to accompany Blue Team on a first strike mission (hence the book's name) to destroy a MASSIVE Covenant fleet that was poised to attack Earth. We're talking about something like over 500 ships here. With all of the data that she'd collected from Halo and that Covenant ship, the real Cortana was just too valuable to risk on that mission. The copy ended up making a copy of herself to help speed things along and things got a little bit... complicated. Cortana, who was worried throughout the book that the effects of all of the data that she'd collected might drive her into early rampancy, took it as a bad sign for herself how things went down with her copies, although the Master Chief promised her that they'd done just fine and that she was just fine too. No, the Weapon is something entirely different and it's pretty much confirmed in the Audio Logs. The Weapon is an entirely new AI, not a direct copy of Cortana. Halo Smart AI Creation Lore 101: smart AIs are created using a human brain to create their neural map. Because the process destroys the brain in question, they only ever use the brain of a dead human being. Basically, in a sense, the AI is in some ways a copy of the person, or at least can share some of their traits. Cortana definitely does with Doctor Halsey who is the one that she was created from. In order to create Cortana, Halsey had herself cloned multiple times and her memories flash transferred over. There was something like 20 cloned brains of Halsey and only a few survived the process. One of those brains was used to create Cortana. Halsey broke some pretty serious laws in the process which is part of the reason that she's in so much trouble. In order to create the Weapon, Halsey sent Blue Team back to Reach to retrieve some assets of some kind from a secret cryovault of hers in the ruins of CASTLE Base. This occurred at the same time that the Banished, led by Escharum, were searching for a secret Forerunner slipspace portal on Reach, kind of like the one from Halo 3 on Earth. Blue Team accidentally led the Banished to it because the portal was located below the ruins of CASTLE Base, they had found it in First Strike. Opening that portal to the Ark is what had allowed Atriox to return to this galaxy before Infinite and after HW2. It didn't stay open for long and it drew a Guardian to the planet to investigate so the Spirit of Fire wasn't able to use it to come back through. But anyways, Blue Team retrieved 3 cryobins and a lockbox from Halsey's secret cryovault. In hindsight, those 3 cryobins must've contained Halsey's remaining cloned brains from the creation of Cortana. It's how she was able to create the Weapon: she just replicated the process that had created Cortana in the first place which could only work due to the unique circumstances behind Cortana's creation.
Agree with you 200000000% brother perfect halo game for halo fans makes up for halo 5 completely I’m almost glad that 5 was so shit now cause we got this game from that completely worth IMO.
I really don't understand how people can take that opinion... This story just took a shit on every Halo story so far that involves Chief and Cortana in any way
It is amazing that 6 games in, the Halo franchise has become what I call a "dad" game. A game about a serious dad mentoring the next generation. Gears of War, Halo, God of War, Mass Effect were once franchises that had nothing in common. Now they are all about fathers mentoring the next generation. It is almost like that the teens/developers that created the games 20 years ago have all became dads and this is what they know how to write about...
6:50 "What will it take for you to trust me?" The delivery of that line, the music, the pain both of them are feeling... 343i may not always execute their larger narrative ideas flawlessly but the way these personal stories/relationships between characters like Chief, Cortana and Weapon are told is just sublime.
I like the time where the weapon asks. What did Cortina do? Cheifs reply :"She was our target". My reply was your lucky you where that helmet all the time john.
Cortana reminds me of how the Forerunners are described in Desendent Pypres audiologs. She was afraid of losing her power. Humanity in history was attacked because they threatened their hold of the mantle. They didn't
The one major thing that doesn't make sense for this whole game is the fact that the weapon realized she was a Cortana copy by the finger snap mannerism, a mannerism that Cortana never had but the game acts like she did. The weapon could have had the mannerism herself, she is her own personality, but something else could have made her realize what she was...
She had the finger snap in Halo 2. She believed she was made to mimic Cortana. Not that she actually was Cortana. So her appearance and look she thought was given to her to appear as another AI was actually just her.
Cortana had it, we just didn't see it much because she was just typically hidden away in his armor. The one time that I really remember it was in Halo 2: when Cortana revealed that the Prophet of Regret intended to activate Halo, she smugly snapped her fingers while translating what he was saying and then again to stop the hologram.
Ah bro i can’t accept cortana’s death 20 years of character development and it finishes without seeing her actual death? I don’t think she really dead tho I will believe…
Given how quickly AI can move between systems and I’m pretty sure a forerunner toaster has enough processing power to house an AI I can’t imagine how she couldn’t have found an escape route. My guess is she is hiding out and helping were she can. I wonder if the new AI has the same limited life span since humanity has gotten more access to forerunner tech.
This may be an odd interpretation however I see the story of Cortana and Master Chief to be a romantic relationship and in a truly odd way Weapon is the child of the two of them, I understand this is truly an odd assertion, but hear me out. Throughout the first three games, it is unilaterally agreed that Cortana and Master Chief have a reserved romantic relationship. Although the Cheif himself is a man of few words and the series is lacking extensive expository dialogue the player "feels" the reserved connection (with a few touching moments) affirming them as a partnership so to speak (wife/husband esque). With that, I think the Husband Wife relationship is established let me explain why I see Weapon, Chief, and Cortana as a family unit. Weapon's relationship with Cheif is far more parental as she seeks his approval, and affirmation, along with some of his ridicule. She seems young and is a blank slate, who after now realizing her mission has changed I think expands her personality outside of that predesigned box making her rely on Chief and define herself. This to me displays a clear parental relationship, however, how is Cortana a mother to her? Well firstly, just as any parent to a child she bears a genetic (in this case systematic) likeness. In this aspect, she is identical, along with a similar appearance. The beauty is, due to the inclusion of differing experiences her code has the base sameness as Cortana but transforms into her own person. In this, she is like a child sharing the personality traits of her mother and her likeness yet is her own person, something many of us can relate to as we see similarities with our parents and often the same struggles. What truly cements this mother-daughter relationship however is Cortana's final actions, and her mistakes being visible to Weapon thus giving not only connecting them genetically but also an influential one, as many of our parents share their experiences with us so we may be better than those before us. In this, she is her mother both in nature and in nurture, along with sharing the influence of her father actively, who had a romantic involvement with her mother. The lasting impression I get from this circumstance is one of beauty, as the Chief now is able to rectify his mistakes of the past surrounding someone he cared deeply for through this new person who is much like the person who birthed them. Cortana is gone but lives on and in this way, she is immortalized and never too far from the Chief. 2 Small PS Messages. 1. Sometimes the way I sit may remind those around me of my father and the snapping of Weapons fingers is a nod to that contiunation of Cortana within Weapon. 2. Weapon shares no physical nature with the Chief but to me she couldnt and shouldnt, neither does this take away. Spartans serve one purpose and as such they aren't meant to have children. Additionally, the deleberate attempt of Halo to keep Master Chief masked and ambigous behind it to me makes his infullence upon Weapon fitting and all he needs to fill that more reserved parental role.
I never played Halo cause I don’t have an Xbox but from what I’ve seen of it, Cortana and John did seem to be in love. War came first so they never truly got to be together longer than the mission required. Cortana felt sad for John because Halsey took his whole life away to make him the perfect soldier. They both were created for war and that mutual bond was what eventually spawned love
Idk the whole build up of halo 5 of cortana going insane and the new threat that is the guardian yet in infinite she died off screen and guardian is just laying down…felt kinda lame
When he was on that ship in the first level he literally had to blow it up because he couldn't hack the Stasis Beam controls without an AI or at least someone who knew how to hack.
Um Most of halo 4s plot revolved around the flood. Promethians were created to destroy the flood, the didact was driven crazy by events that happened because of the human forunner war and later the flood forunner war both caused by the flood.
While playing I could swear they had set up the flood to appear several times -- even made a Gravemind quote i think was "Now I shall talk, and you shall listen." Then there was another about containment or something and then I think chief mentions the flood or something, I didn't take too much note ... the gravemind reference hit pretty hard and I started prepping for flood lol.
Cortana and Atriox being hyped up as the villains for the last few games, and where are they? Killed off screen and a too be continued. My legit only complaint, I was excited for Cortana badguy and was denied.
I gave up on halo along time ago, I never stopped loving the original bungie games, bungie art, bungie music, bungie story, but after h5 and even after h4 to an extent, I just gave up on the series. I haven't seen the whole walkthrough, but the execution of these scenes had a lot of heart and soul; and that I appreciate. Cheers!
Cortana story made me realize that you can make mistakes and you can't reverse it, but you can change and you know better to not make the same mistakes twice
It obvious that "Weapon" becomes Cortana when she obsorbs sphere at 5:20. She will probably remember everything, or that could be rampancy cure figured out and left by Cortana for her sister. That sphere represented Cortana in halo 4 while she was asleep. I don't think that this is coincidence
I stopped playing halo after 4 because just never got the chance. I have however watched all of the cut scenes onwards and damn, those feels. Halo is hands down the greatest story saga ever told IMHO.
i find it interesting that the new version of cortana and the Weapon are more clothed than the last version of cortana. Somehow, it kinda loses something
Imo, the best Cortana remains Halo 4's. Sadly though, the rest of Halo 4 wasn't the best so people didn't like that version as much. Halo 3 was a close second since it fit the same style of appearance (even though it was so graphically inferior). :/
Yeah. That was when Cortana and Chief first met from the book The Fall of Reach. She has two models. Original Cortana and the Halo 5 armor look for her evil scenes.
9:46... The fact that SO MANY people have NO CLUE what "The refermation" tells me that 343 uses WAY TO MANY complicated words for simple meanings. The refermation, for those who dont know, is the fixing...the reconstruction of the ring. Hahaha. THATS IT. Halo has been saying this phrase since Halo 4. They need to just say "The RECONSTRUCTION of the ring has begun" It would make things way more simpler and it wouldn't confuse so many people. Oof.
@@tonygunk424 yes you are correct. That is what the "reclamation" was. But Halo Infinite is talking about the repairing of Zeta Halo here. And they have used that term before as well for other halos... They just want it to sound more majestic than "The ring is repairing itself!"
I like how in the end, she died as Cortana, not the tyrannical ruler of the Created. Notice how she's even discarded that more militaristic look of hers for her original appearance in the end. She was Cortana again, even if only for a moment.
@@csab8642 It's heartbreaking to think about, we'll never have their wonderful dynamic again, nor her witty banter over Chief's comms. I think I'll always miss it.
She also voiced the pilot in the escape pod when chief first lands on the ring in CE. There were two Jen Taylor lines back to back and its basically impossible to notice. Absolutely incredible.
You know Chief is getting massive psychological issues from the message she left him. She was the only true constant he'd had for a majority of his life.
Unfortunately they really didn’t spend much actual time together. Chief is 49, halo CE Started mid/end of September 2552 and lasted 3 or so days. We lose cortana in halo 2 somewhere between oct-nov 2552. Halo 3 takes place from nov 2552-march 2553, and we don’t even have cortana until halfway through the game. Then 4 years of cryo sleep where Cortana was by herself. Halo 4 is only 4 days then we lose her for good. So I don’t think they even spent a year total together, of chiefs 49 years.
@@FormerGovernmentHuman But she was the emotional anchor he needed. Outside of Halsey and the other Spartan-2s, she was the only being that actually gave a damn about him.
@@generaljeanmoreau6853 Because in every life there is a moment you feel like to take stop for a second and make a sense on what you've done so far. She understood even though she wanted good, she did bad - and that's the lesson to follow for John and the Weapon.
@@alexcooper7263 hmm i dont buy that. its weak storytelling to suddenly change. her not being a space h1tler and actually dying was better off than reviving her or whatever the rampancy that what was left of her kinda ruined cortana
In the end Cortana protected Chief, by giving him a chance with the weapon, sacrificing herself… to give Chief time and saving the weapon from deletion as I’m sure Halsey predicted
@@chantawatchantarapanya8479 More specifically a Spartan II which are the least like normal humans as well. He is literally a seven foot tall, 1000 pound, monster child with implants of tech that could fail him at any moment ruining his ability to function (after all, he is actually six feet ten without his armor and two eighty-seven pounds). After all, he has been in service at minimum, thirty years.
Halsey: Did whatever it took to make Spartan II's Halsey: Makes AI that's exactly herself AI: Cheats Halsey playing Chess Halsey: Makes AI that's LESS like herself
It is crazy to think how impactful Halsey's work was on John's life. His augmentations, his suit and her guardian angel. Halsey and Cortana will always be watching over him.
Its crazy to think how impactful Halsey’s work as a scientist was in general. Although she side stepped ethics on multiple occasions. Her actions ensured humanity’s survival for real. As a scientist myself her character is a role model.
@@ahmedmaniyaruni4300 The thought of an actual scientist saying Halsey is a role model is both the most wholesome and absolutely blood sweatingly terrifying thing I have ever heard.
@@trollzynisaacjohan1793 I never accept the necessary evil belief. That is the same as saying the bad guy leader from Germany in World War II was a necessary evil as several mothers have had their lives saved from the result of the torture they did on people (medical knowledge). There is no such thing as a necessary evil. In actuality, that statement in and of itself leads to a trolley problem. "Would I accept millions of deaths in the past to save the life of someone I love in the present?"
I understand how you feel. Halo was one of the first games I played when my brother and me got an Xbox. Hadn't played it since the third, but I always tried to keep up with the story.
Cortana and Chief were partners. They'd do anything to win, and when one turned bad, the other refused to accept it. Chief and Weapon are like a father and child. He keeps her from taking unnecessary risks, and if one were to turn bad, who knows what would happen.
I’ll be honest, I wasn’t 100% loving this story, but I certainly felt like they tried really, really hard to work on the relationship between Master Chief and Cortana. The game had heart, and I will always appreciate that.
I feel like they're starting to get that Halo isn't about the action or intense fast paced fights with violence. But the slow and poetic story telling.
guys this game isn't about a dad's story or a breakup story, it's about that moment when you got to reset your phone and remember the shit you had on it before and living with your phone back from the beginning
Has anyone else made the connection between Cortana's monologue and the Gravemind? Like "There will be no more anger, no more sadness, no more envy" has thrown up serious red flags for me
Exactly! I've also been looking around all over. No one seems to talk about her saying things like "Save me from myself" and stuff like that. There must be some deeper connection as to why she finally turned it all around.
What Infinite is saying is that Cortana got progressively worse mentally after the Gravemind tortured her in Halo 2 and 3. She lost her mind after a mix of years of war, rampancy, the Flood's torture and then being corrupted by the Domain.
Sadly this will probably be the last we see her. Not like if they brought her back everything would go back to normal. She's done too many bad things to be forgiven by the rest of the galaxy.
It’s so surreal to think that this is the end for Cortana, hits the feels hard.
And the last words about choosing well, they make you remember the whole journey they went through together, damn...

@@xxxhero7275 Not really. Copies don't work like that in Halo canon. We've SEEN Cortana copies before in the EPIC novel Halo: First Strike. Cortana got that ability from a Covenant AI that she had destroyed on a Covenant flagship that she, the Master Chief, Johnson a few other survivors of the original Halo game hijacked in order to get home. She could only make partial copies of herself with abilities limited to the routines of herself that she had copied. She made a copy of herself to help better crack the Covenant language using what she had learned from the ship's systems and the Covenant AI and she later made one of her infiltration routines to accompany Blue Team on a first strike mission (hence the book's name) to destroy a MASSIVE Covenant fleet that was poised to attack Earth. We're talking about something like over 500 ships here. With all of the data that she'd collected from Halo and that Covenant ship, the real Cortana was just too valuable to risk on that mission. The copy ended up making a copy of herself to help speed things along and things got a little bit... complicated. Cortana, who was worried throughout the book that the effects of all of the data that she'd collected might drive her into early rampancy, took it as a bad sign for herself how things went down with her copies, although the Master Chief promised her that they'd done just fine and that she was just fine too.
No, the Weapon is something entirely different and it's pretty much confirmed in the Audio Logs. The Weapon is an entirely new AI, not a direct copy of Cortana. Halo Smart AI Creation Lore 101: smart AIs are created using a human brain to create their neural map. Because the process destroys the brain in question, they only ever use the brain of a dead human being. Basically, in a sense, the AI is in some ways a copy of the person, or at least can share some of their traits. Cortana definitely does with Doctor Halsey who is the one that she was created from. In order to create Cortana, Halsey had herself cloned multiple times and her memories flash transferred over. There was something like 20 cloned brains of Halsey and only a few survived the process. One of those brains was used to create Cortana. Halsey broke some pretty serious laws in the process which is part of the reason that she's in so much trouble. In order to create the Weapon, Halsey sent Blue Team back to Reach to retrieve some assets of some kind from a secret cryovault of hers in the ruins of CASTLE Base. This occurred at the same time that the Banished, led by Escharum, were searching for a secret Forerunner slipspace portal on Reach, kind of like the one from Halo 3 on Earth. Blue Team accidentally led the Banished to it because the portal was located below the ruins of CASTLE Base, they had found it in First Strike. Opening that portal to the Ark is what had allowed Atriox to return to this galaxy before Infinite and after HW2. It didn't stay open for long and it drew a Guardian to the planet to investigate so the Spirit of Fire wasn't able to use it to come back through. But anyways, Blue Team retrieved 3 cryobins and a lockbox from Halsey's secret cryovault. In hindsight, those 3 cryobins must've contained Halsey's remaining cloned brains from the creation of Cortana. It's how she was able to create the Weapon: she just replicated the process that had created Cortana in the first place which could only work due to the unique circumstances behind Cortana's creation.
@@WarGrowlmon18 obrigado por essa aula da lore de Halo, simplesmente fantástico esse universo.
Haven't had this much fun playing Halo since Reach launched. Seriously, this is the perfect Halo IMO.
Agree with you 200000000% brother perfect halo game for halo fans makes up for halo 5 completely I’m almost glad that 5 was so shit now cause we got this game from that completely worth IMO.

It is amazing that 6 games in, the Halo franchise has become what I call a "dad" game. A game about a serious dad mentoring the next generation.
Gears of War, Halo, God of War, Mass Effect were once franchises that had nothing in common. Now they are all about fathers mentoring the next generation. It is almost like that the teens/developers that created the games 20 years ago have all became dads and this is what they know how to write about...
31:32 I'm pretty sure Echo-216/Esparza's reaction was the same as ours when Chief said that lmao
His inner Halo 2 fan was coming out there
Like how they made Cortana her original purple color instead of blue...
Yeah, really nice touch
I love how at the end she lost her armored look showing that she really was Cortana again and not the tyrannical leader of the Created.
6:50 "What will it take for you to trust me?"
The delivery of that line, the music, the pain both of them are feeling...
343i may not always execute their larger narrative ideas flawlessly but the way these personal stories/relationships between characters like Chief, Cortana and Weapon are told is just sublime.
@Mark yea like a lemon 🍋! You know Sub-lime 🤷🏻♂️😂
I like the time where the weapon asks. What did Cortina do?
Cheifs reply :"She was our target".
My reply was your lucky you where that helmet all the time john.
Cortana reminds me of how the Forerunners are described in Desendent Pypres audiologs. She was afraid of losing her power. Humanity in history was attacked because they threatened their hold of the mantle. They didn't
I can't believe Cortana is actually dead
It took me a minute, but I finally realized what the Weapon is meant to be: she’s John and Cortana’s “daughter.”
Cortana, we all have been to hell and back with you. The covenant, the flood, the didact. It was a good run
The one major thing that doesn't make sense for this whole game is the fact that the weapon realized she was a Cortana copy by the finger snap mannerism, a mannerism that Cortana never had but the game acts like she did. The weapon could have had the mannerism herself, she is her own personality, but something else could have made her realize what she was...
She had the finger snap in Halo 2. She believed she was made to mimic Cortana. Not that she actually was Cortana. So her appearance and look she thought was given to her to appear as another AI was actually just her.
Cortana had it, we just didn't see it much because she was just typically hidden away in his armor. The one time that I really remember it was in Halo 2: when Cortana revealed that the Prophet of Regret intended to activate Halo, she smugly snapped her fingers while translating what he was saying and then again to stop the hologram.
Weapon is like a small baby from Chief and Cortana
Ah bro i can’t accept cortana’s death 20 years of character development and it finishes without seeing her actual death?
I don’t think she really dead tho
I will believe…
I hope...
Given how quickly AI can move between systems and I’m pretty sure a forerunner toaster has enough processing power to house an AI I can’t imagine how she couldn’t have found an escape route.
My guess is she is hiding out and helping were she can.
I wonder if the new AI has the same limited life span since humanity has gotten more access to forerunner tech.
This may be an odd interpretation however I see the story of Cortana and Master Chief to be a romantic relationship and in a truly odd way Weapon is the child of the two of them, I understand this is truly an odd assertion, but hear me out. Throughout the first three games, it is unilaterally agreed that Cortana and Master Chief have a reserved romantic relationship. Although the Cheif himself is a man of few words and the series is lacking extensive expository dialogue the player "feels" the reserved connection (with a few touching moments) affirming them as a partnership so to speak (wife/husband esque). With that, I think the Husband Wife relationship is established let me explain why I see Weapon, Chief, and Cortana as a family unit.
Weapon's relationship with Cheif is far more parental as she seeks his approval, and affirmation, along with some of his ridicule. She seems young and is a blank slate, who after now realizing her mission has changed I think expands her personality outside of that predesigned box making her rely on Chief and define herself. This to me displays a clear parental relationship, however, how is Cortana a mother to her? Well firstly, just as any parent to a child she bears a genetic (in this case systematic) likeness. In this aspect, she is identical, along with a similar appearance. The beauty is, due to the inclusion of differing experiences her code has the base sameness as Cortana but transforms into her own person. In this, she is like a child sharing the personality traits of her mother and her likeness yet is her own person, something many of us can relate to as we see similarities with our parents and often the same struggles. What truly cements this mother-daughter relationship however is Cortana's final actions, and her mistakes being visible to Weapon thus giving not only connecting them genetically but also an influential one, as many of our parents share their experiences with us so we may be better than those before us.
In this, she is her mother both in nature and in nurture, along with sharing the influence of her father actively, who had a romantic involvement with her mother. The lasting impression I get from this circumstance is one of beauty, as the Chief now is able to rectify his mistakes of the past surrounding someone he cared deeply for through this new person who is much like the person who birthed them. Cortana is gone but lives on and in this way, she is immortalized and never too far from the Chief.
2 Small PS Messages.
1. Sometimes the way I sit may remind those around me of my father and the snapping of Weapons fingers is a nod to that contiunation of Cortana within Weapon.
2. Weapon shares no physical nature with the Chief but to me she couldnt and shouldnt, neither does this take away. Spartans serve one purpose and as such they aren't meant to have children. Additionally, the deleberate attempt of Halo to keep Master Chief masked and ambigous behind it to me makes his infullence upon Weapon fitting and all he needs to fill that more reserved parental role.
I never played Halo cause I don’t have an Xbox but from what I’ve seen of it, Cortana and John did seem to be in love. War came first so they never truly got to be together longer than the mission required. Cortana felt sad for John because Halsey took his whole life away to make him the perfect soldier. They both were created for war and that mutual bond was what eventually spawned love
Dude all this build up for cortana story from Halo 5, and i love every second of it
Idk the whole build up of halo 5 of cortana going insane and the new threat that is the guardian yet in infinite she died off screen and guardian is just laying down…felt kinda lame
The line "I chose well Master Chief" hits a cord but when she affirms it with "I really did" man does it do something else.
John can never be at his best without a cyber-waifu at his side.
When he was on that ship in the first level he literally had to blow it up because he couldn't hack the Stasis Beam controls without an AI or at least someone who knew how to hack.
Honestly bro
At least they mentioned the flood in this game, I don’t recall them being important in 4 or 5
Um Most of halo 4s plot revolved around the flood. Promethians were created to destroy the flood, the didact was driven crazy by events that happened because of the human forunner war and later the flood forunner war both caused by the flood.
But are they actually antagonists in the game, as far as I know, they are only enemies in the first 3
@@gavinbunting7354 you’re correct and halo wars 2 awakening the nightmare dlc
While playing I could swear they had set up the flood to appear several times -- even made a Gravemind quote i think was "Now I shall talk, and you shall listen."

I gave up on halo along time ago, I never stopped loving the original bungie games, bungie art, bungie music, bungie story, but after h5 and even after h4 to an extent, I just gave up on the series. I haven't seen the whole walkthrough, but the execution of these scenes had a lot of heart and soul; and that I appreciate. Cheers!
Cortana story made me realize that you can make mistakes and you can't reverse it, but you can change and you know better to not make the same mistakes twice
Damn seeing and hearing some of these echos from the older halos..
It obvious that "Weapon" becomes Cortana when she obsorbs sphere at 5:20. She will probably remember everything, or that could be rampancy cure figured out and left by Cortana for her sister. That sphere represented Cortana in halo 4 while she was asleep. I don't think that this is coincidence
The Cortana introduction memory at 3:48 paired with the Halo 3 theme got me tearing up quick lol.
Next time we see Cortana bring her h4 version back
I stopped playing halo after 4 because just never got the chance. I have however watched all of the cut scenes onwards and damn, those feels.
Halo is hands down the greatest story saga ever told IMHO.
Have you looked up Halo 4 Worse than You Remember by Andy insp. Magnum?
@@EvilPhoenix007 I haven't, but I did think halo 4 was abyasmal compared to halo 3.
Halo Infinite: the father and daughter experience.
Well, Cortana 2.0 is totally waifu material, AI-girl-next-door type cute. Hope she doesn't end up becoming evil AI-overlord.
Does anyone else notice how the harbinger kinda has Sangheili characteristics? Like her fingers and mandible flappy thingies?
i find it interesting that the new version of cortana and the Weapon are more clothed than the last version of cortana. Somehow, it kinda loses something
Imo, the best Cortana remains Halo 4's. Sadly though, the rest of Halo 4 wasn't the best so people didn't like that version as much. Halo 3 was a close second since it fit the same style of appearance (even though it was so graphically inferior). :/

The fact that SO MANY people have NO CLUE what "The refermation" tells me that 343 uses WAY TO MANY complicated words for simple meanings.
The refermation, for those who dont know, is the fixing...the reconstruction of the ring. Hahaha. THATS IT. Halo has been saying this phrase since Halo 4. They need to just say "The RECONSTRUCTION of the ring has begun"
It would make things way more simpler and it wouldn't confuse so many people. Oof.
In Halo 4 and 5, it’s “the RECLAMATION”, not reformation. It refers to humanity taking over as stewards of the galaxy instead of the forerunners
@@tonygunk424 wait .. huh? Isn't that 2 different things? See?? We shouldn't be confused over simple terms to over complicated words.
@@tonygunk424 yes you are correct. That is what the "reclamation" was. But Halo Infinite is talking about the repairing of Zeta Halo here. And they have used that term before as well for other halos... They just want it to sound more majestic than "The ring is repairing itself!"

You know Chief is getting massive psychological issues from the message she left him. She was the only true constant he'd had for a majority of his life.
And he was likewise for Cortana. "You have given me the greatest possible happiness..."
Unfortunately they really didn’t spend much actual time together. Chief is 49, halo CE Started mid/end of September 2552 and lasted 3 or so days.
We lose cortana in halo 2 somewhere between oct-nov 2552. Halo 3 takes place from nov 2552-march 2553, and we don’t even have cortana until halfway through the game. Then 4 years of cryo sleep where Cortana was by herself. Halo 4 is only 4 days then we lose her for good.
So I don’t think they even spent a year total together, of chiefs 49 years.
