Yo dudes, fill me up with the lore. Dr. Halsey was behind the Spartan project or something to that etent right? She found John and what not but isn't Cortana the AI that was based on her personality? Same voice? Same menopausal spasms on the ethics of the Spartan project near the end of campaign confirmed?

Yeah. Dr Halsey is the woman behind the Spartan II project. And yes i think Cortana is based on her personality.Hydranockz said:

Isn't this the general consensus though?Hypertrooper said:
There's obviously a reason why one of Cortana's main phrases spoken to Master Chief is spoken by Dr. Hasley directed at the Master Chief during her cameo in Halo Legends.
I'm sure some GAFers here who've read all the books and know all the canon history can explain this connection better than I.

Cortana shares with Dr. Halsey the same feelings about john 117 (MC being "the one" because of his luck), and if I'm recalling correctly Dr. Halsey directly states that Cortana was programmed to be like her, at least to resemble her personality.
That's why Cortana has far more freedom than any other smart AI.
kinda-OT: just bought Legends on bluray today. Starting it now.

Probably no? Every Halo game, and the majority of Bungie games, has had an AI character. More like probably yes.Domino Theory said:
Don't forget, as mentioned in the BWU, the media is decending on Bungie for some hands-on time this week. If anything, I'd expect the next slice of Campaign to stem from there.
Though personally, I've seen what I want to see of it. Moar FF, MP and Forge for me.

I think Comic-Con will be Forge's coming out party, and the new map we saw in the Bungie Day video will be revealed to be one of the Forge foundation maps.Deputy Moonman said:

Yeah, they've done a good job of keeping Forge completely in the dark. How long can they keep it up?

So does anyone know how the pre-order code works? If I got my game from a brick and mortar shop would I run the risk of not getting the pre-order code?
I only ask because I pre-ordered from Amazon (who probably wont get the game to me for a few agonizing days after release) so I would prefer to just walk into a shop and get it. Would they have to remember to give me the code (if they have any) or will it be safely hidden away in the packaging?

I can understand that. This is the last Bungie Halo game. It's best experienced without knowing what to expect.urk said:
Can you give us a time frame for how long the campaign will be though? Longer than Halo 3? About the same?

Seeing as I'd like to not know anything about campaign since the point the beta ended...urk said:
This is great news for me. So all campaign news is halted except for whatever was in the E3 video? Don't be mean, GAF. :lol
Reach is only 2 Months away?! Holyshitawesomesauce. Thank goodness, I can hold out on campaign info just fine for that long.

It's a piece of Armour.Deputy Moonman said:
Breakdown of launch dlc for Reach.
To answer the question, just ask in-store, only way to be sure. The Johnson DLC was not in the box iirc, so this very likely won't be too (if it's the pre-order dlc you're referring to).

By the way, just finished watching Legends right now.
That dialogue between MC and Dr. Halsey quoting Cortana was pure gold. xD
Origins I and II were great, The babysitter also great. The rest not so much. Need to watch it again.

I cant wait till they put out one of those multiplayer trailers, that showcases pretty much everything online related. Those are always fun.
Also, correct me if im wrong, but do we get some sort of armor for playing the game day one. Or am i just confusing that with the pre order stuff?

but I am a sheep
Putting my preorder down tomorrow, I am excited.
I can't believe we are so close to release, I think I might pick up Halo Wars cheap so I have something to hold me over for a bit.

So Dr. Halsey is not only going to nerdgasm when she sees the fruits of her Spartan's labour... but she is also going to nerdragequit sanity when Reach starts falling because of the fruits of her Spartan's labour? Am I haloing ok?
Edit: Found out my local GAME store has a 10% student discount plus they are taking deposits for Legendary editions of Reach still ^^

Was she quoting Cortana? I thought that was what Cortana quoted from?metareferential said:

Hypertrooper said:
The issues I have with many choiches are canon-related: I understand that in general all the oddities are there because of an artistic choice, still I raised more than an eyebrow.
The Package is great, but it has that strange "power-ranger-esque" feeling I can't swallow. And
Halsey as young as a teenager, frankly, no.
Things like that.
Cuban Legend said:Was she quoting Cortana? I thought that was what Cortana quoted from?
Well, yes, according to logic. According to our perception of the timeline, having played Halo 3 before having seen Legends, she's quoting Cortana
metareferential said:Well, yes, according to logic. According to our perception of the timeline, having played Halo 3 before having seen Legends, she's quoting Cortana
but seriously, wut? Cortana quotes Halsey, we just see it in non-chronological order. We see it backwards, but we still know the order it takes place in.

I think he was just joking about the fact that cortana is dr. Halsey's mind-clone.

Isn't this just the limited edition + the noble team model and flaming armour..... for £95? I'm pushing myself to get the limited edition to be honest, because even that is £55. But £40 for a model and flaming helmet, they can fuck right off.

I don't have Fall of Reach with me now, so I'm just going to quote the wiki:
"Cortana is constructed from the cloned brain of Dr. Catherine Elizabeth Halsey, the creator of the SPARTAN Project; Halsey's synaptic networks became the basis for Cortana's processors"

Well, that we already know. I wasn't saying he isn't right.
He said "are you sure she was quoting Cortana and not the other way round?".
And then we started saying some stupid things about consequentiality and timeline perception.:lol
