Weapon Learns The Truth About Cortana Halo Infinite 

_I agree_

That's actually a perfect description for them.

@@HL-777- not romantic love dude😑

@@HL-777- very easily, Chief's a human and Cortana like all smart A.I. are made from scans of a person's brain except she doesn't have the same inhibitors placed on her that other smart A.I. have, so she's basically a digital Halsey.

@@kriegsmanjaeger5545 lol somehow that almost makes it weirder.

Now her name is Cortana. Or maybe Coretana?

@@Igami_No_Io Is "Hope"

Echo might be her name

They wont ever change her name. It will be cortana. She will be the better cortana. See, she now knows the future of herself if unchecked. When you know something about your future you actively work to redirect course. If they change it, the true fanbase, the ones that were there in the beginning and followed the journey, grew together, read the literature...will riot.

They are from the same mold(halsey)

Until rampancy sets in again. Then it's time to blow up some more planets.

That and "We all fail. We all make mistakes. It's what makes us human."

100% Facts

It definitely fits John's character given what he's had to go through because of what happened to Cortana, and how he knows Weapon could turn out like her, BUT he wants to believe in the good in Weapon.

@Merciless Freak cheesy but true

@Merciless Freak cheesy but awesome, when cheesy is awesome its just awesome. At the very least it was awesome to me, so it worked, the cheesiness worked 100%

It explains why Atriox seemed so dead-set on killing Chief at the beginning of the game. Cortana had taken something dear to him, so he (tried) to kill the one person she cared about more than anything in the Galaxy.

To be fair, I think it was always supposed to be clear to the player that The Weapon was a copy of Cortana. It's just the extent of Cortanas fall (blowing up planets) and the Weapons realisation that this scene is about

some people would say that voice-acting isn't really acting. Scenes like this say those people are wrong.

Idk why but its made so good that I knew seconds before chief said it, that he is exactly gonna say „i dont, but i want to“ gave me chills

I think it’s obvious on purpose. Chief doesn’t say much and doesn’t entirely trust the weapon. She’s almost like a kid? So I can definitely see something like this flying over head.

Tbh that's why I'm not buying it. Yeah shes an AI but wtf. We dont get to reconnect with Cortana. Just this new girl shows up and says LOL I yeeted her but I am her. No thank you.

So like Cortana's teen daughter.

@@Michael-bh9ss I think we did just Cortana decided to let them move on from her and have them learn from her mistakes. and to be honest I feel like the weapon is one of the most innocent characters Halo has ever seen so far due to being "child-like" and I don't think we had a character as innocent as her. ever.

@@Michael-bh9ss tbh they ruined cortana when they had her kill over 1 hundred thousand people with the earth emp in halo 5. This is the only way forward. let alone showing her killing those 70 spartans. I would rather her die than her just be "redeemed"

She irritates the fuck out of me 😂 Seriously, Halsey is not exactly a ray of sunshine. Why are all her AI characters so Goddamn perky? And I really don't need her constant fan-girling every time I free some marines, or nagging me to do the next campaign mission while I'm just trying to explore the map. Other than that, though, she's fine. 😂

I mean this was less about intimidation of him and more about simply about giving him a choice and sending a message to every other race in the galaxy what happens if you choose to oppose her. If he decided to obey then fine and if not she gets to send her message. At no point does she view him as a threat and despite the context of this level she is completely right that Atriox is no threat to her. Her capture had nothing to do with him and basically only was due to Weapon. If not for her, then Cortana's Guardians simply swat aside Atriox's fleet like they are nothing. He just happened to take down the UNSC on the way to capturing her (though how they planned to deal with the aforementioned Guardian's after is still something I am curious about).

Still don't get how the Banished had any chance against the guardians and all the forerunner tech. Its a huge plot hole for me :/

@@Sentauri They didn't. Atriox defeated the UNSC and then went to an empty ring with no protection at it whatsoever because Weapon took care of that already.

@@Sentauri basically, the humans beat Cortana with the weapon and he was lucky to be there to exact revenge.

@@Sentauri Two of the weakest Banished officers contained and defeated a Proto-gravemind Flood outbreak, not even with support of the main Banished forces. I wouldn’t underestimate them.

@@popcornpony8420 the pilot, I won't spoil it but he needs the chief's help

@@Mr.Scott86 ROFL

Two seconds later….RAINBOW WEAPON!!!

Cortana was originally purple in the classic combat evolved halo. And since the art style in halo infinite has the classic look to it, I guess the game makers decided to make cortana look classic too, for nostalgia.

And probably differentiate the Weapon and Her.

Yeah... Cortana was originally Purple dude.

@@Red_MOON187 I'm only 16 but I played halo ce in MCC I played it on classic mode.

I still don’t like Halo 5’s story. Although, I accepted what the story of Halo Infinite have.

Especially considering Chief didn't exactly have a regular childhood. Almost everyone he knew growing up, that he could consider "family" or "friends", the other Spartan IIs, is dead, with only a few exceptions. The Spartan IIs in the lore have a hard time emotionally connecting with others outside their group because of this.

@Kristopher Prime Well we do know she was going through rampancy which is literally the AI going insane which at that point needs to be decommissioned but what happened in the network is anyone's guess.

@@UnseenThresh As far as we know, the Cortana that flipped her lid was one of the rampant personalities, we can safely assume it was one of the nastier ones, but with time that personality for whatever reason saw the light and tried to atone

Oh man with all these new "Races" showing up I can only imagine how good halo wars 3 will be x)

And now she has a chance to live her life differently, as per Cortana’s plan when she sacrificed herself.

You gonna hear that a lot if you play in high difficulty...

Yup,. the story recently is how the people around John have been questioning if hes just a machine or is his humanity second to his mission. His mission, and he knows, is a never ending one. Hence "the missions changed, they always do." He fully knows that his life will never not be the mission, his programming. The only emotion he always held was the love he felt for cortana. He let himself down by choosing love over the mission by not destroying her. Thats what made him come back to humanity. Not having cortana around to do most of his thinking and drive, gave him a lot of time to think on what and who he is as a human and not a weapon. Most emotional Halo ive played. He finally got real closure with Cortana 1. Their relationship was truly a human one. Lovers for years, married for few more, then it all fell apart. He was fighting for someone choosing another path, once he realized she was never coming back, not the same at least, all he really needed to move on was closure. I wish more franchises were story driven and not cash grabs and loot boxes. Thanks 343 for giving fans what we needed.

@@anthonyzullo now hes gunna be dating cortanas younger sister

@@crazychinese7315 LOL!!!! Fuck those Jackal snipers.

They found the right mix between humanising the chief while still allowing the player to be the chief themselves. Everything he says is something the player would say.

No

More like running around with amnesiac gal you knew and cared for a very long time, but she did some serious shit in the past and now you are afraid that she will repeat her mistakes. That sums it up i suppose.

@@jrfirefiher YES. This one scene does lend credence Troller’s explanation, certainly. But the grand majority of the game frames their relationship as a reluctant single father/oblivious teenaged daughter dynamic.

Pretty much. So many of their interactions parallel a father/daughter dynamic, and Cortana is certifiably insane even if she was finally able to understand it in the end (we all could've told you not to do any of those things, girl).

This is exactly what it is lol

it broke mine too the weapon is one of the most innocent AI heck character I've seen in the halo franchise.

@@Brodrich I mean Cut's trauma was more so related to abandoning his brothers and Rey was just a mess. I'd rather put Luke in this category, and maybe Ashoka. Zuko from avatar and Crow from destiny would also be good examples of characters grappling with becoming like villains related to them in some ways.

@@storyseeker6028 fair enough.

genesis underated and underused af, but still one of my favourite characters, especially the fact that fantomex created him out of guilt of killing a reincarnated child apocalypse.

From generic video game protagonist to flawed relatable human

I just now realized the significance of that phrase. His mission in the beginning was to protect Cortana, to keep her safe from the hands of the Covenant, and then he was tasked with the destruction of Cortana.

For sure they'll continue it.

Downes and Taylor get how to inflect emotion into their lines because they are playing characters that don't show their faces all that often. Compare that to the TV show where they have to take off his helmet every 5 seconds so you can see his face to know he's angry.

"My mission was to be a direct continuation from Halo 5." "Missions change. They always do."

Takes 7-8 years for a smart AI like Cortana and the Weapon to go rampant so yeah, clock's ticking. :D

@@thepaintingbanjo8894 But considering how Cortana got green & nearly power-mad as soon as she connected with Alpha Halo.... 😰

Nah, I think Cortana showed Earth and humanity as a whole some favoritism as she was a human-built AI. The most she'd do is bomb cities and destroy our military to force us to submit. Also, she knows if she blew up Earth, she'd immediately make humans an endangered species since our population in Halo was around 39 billion at the start of the Human-Covenant war and it was 16 billion towards the end. By the time we get to present events, Earth has 7.9 billion humans. Saying that our population went up a couple billion at the end of the war (unlikely due to few year difference between Halo 3 and Halo Infinite), we're still dealing with about almost half of the human population being on Earth. If Cortana blew up Earth, humanity would be inches closer to extinction as about half of our remaining population would be dead. Cortana, as batshit insane she became, would never allow herself to continue where the Covenant left off with humanity.

Just Australia. Oni and the emus finally got what they deserved. Unfortunately all the Chipps Dubbo clones were also destroyed as collateral damage.

@@claws2129 Oh she got all the emus?! Bruh. Pardoned. Absolutely worth all the lives lost.

@@BrokenLifeCycle True, they were even more dangerous than the Flood

When his ex is a crazy bitch*....and her twin sister want him to trust her

Ai go crazy after their time expires. Cortana was torture multiple times in Halo 1-4 and part of her lived long past the safe time frame

That isn’t really humanity’s fault and atroix never really liked humanity. Ok I think my mind changed. It’s somewhat of humanity’s fault but not all of it. They had no idea that Cortana would go crazy with power and try to control the whole galaxy.

Considering everything, humanity should not be blamed for this. It is like you going to blame all races of former Covenant for wishing to destroy humans, despite them being manipulated and deceived.

@@somekid1053 It's humanity's AIs that are running around. They take human appearances; and frankly act a lot like humans do. From an outsider's perspective, the AI are just virtual humans.

@@troller8680 Yeah, and I’m pretty sure plenty of humans do. Humans we’d consider decent people. Atriox and Escherum are NOT decent people. They’d have even LESS reason to make the distinction.

@@somekid1053 He never hated them though, he even made a truce with them in Halo Wars 2.

yeah and it would've been kind of sad to be honest

🤣

I think that it's pretty stupid. Cortana just dropped her rampancy for no reason, then just decided to leave and was like "yup, I'm gone, but here's a little piece of whatever to remember me by". Then she bounced. Pretty lackluster.

@@BigFry9591(Potential spoilers if you have not finished halo infinite.) You would be wrong, she was cured of her reampency by the domain and thought that she was doing the right thing by imposing a imperial peace. Stopping all conflict, and making sure none could be started. That was what she hoped, and it was only after she messed things up by destroying Atriox's homeworld, and making him decide to take over the ring that she realised that she screwed up. And the presence of the weapon on the ring at the right moment in time, helped her make up her mind on what needed to be done. Like she said in the ending of the game, she only really had a few milliseconds to plan the whole thing out.

@@cripticgamer2063 Yeah, cured "seemingly". It was just dropped. People speculate that it's because they believe rampancy is caused by a lack of space to store data (which isn't what the wiki describes it as, but whatever). And the Domain is infinite, therefore giving Cortana space. But once she leaves, she wouldn't have infinite space anymore. Also, there's the fact that Cortana was split and scattered all over. Who knows which piece is which. So, you're saying that a somehow cured Cortana decided not to go back to Chief, and continued on acting rampant even though she was cured, and destroyed a planet? And she's had way more than a few milliseconds to plan things out.

@@BigFry9591 Cortana didn't leave the domain though until she was deleted. Even on Zeta Halo she was still using the domain hence her lack of rampancy. Cortana retained her imperial streak all the way till the end when Atriox came to kill her. The 'classic' Cortana we see with her milliseconds to plan existed once she saw Atriox and more importantly I think saw Weapon.

@@BigFry9591 because you have your interpretation of the story a bit wrong. The actual full cortana died at the end of halo 4. The cortana we have now is just a fragment that grew into its own being when the rest of it died. It was also learning as it went, but if you’ve only played the games and not read the comics or any other media it would be a little jarring. Trying not to spoil anything I’m not sure how far into infinite you actually are. Hope that helps

Not really. Chief showed more emotion back then, and questioned his humanity. That isn't really shown here anymore.

@@BigFry9591 when at the place cortana died: The weapon: "are you okay being here?" Master chief: "No. Not really." Master chief shows his human side just as much as halo 4 dude

@@matthewriley7826 Seeing as Atriox thoroughly thrashed both Red Team and Chief, I don’t think he’ll have too many problems.

Cortana also accessed the Domain, which corrupted her even more. But that's not the point. Imagine having Hitler as your twin, you would probably also worry about becoming a terrible person too, even if it's not a completely rational thought.

no i think your tripping his voice was fine

It sounded more like comm static if anything to me.

No, you can hear the lump in his throat. The last 2 games including this one has made a point for john to start questioning if he is truly human or now a machine emotionally. Hes always been just a weaponized machine since he was 14, hes now recognizing that he is more than that. Hes finding his humanity. He lost the one thing he loved and in that moment hes feeling true human guilt. He didnt stop cortana because he was trying to reason with a psychopath simply because he loved her and she was the only thing he ever loved. Shit is poetic. 343 knocked this game out of the park when it comes to a culmination of the last 2 decades of a franchise. Something not many franchises could or have ever achieved.

No he's not the only one, Chief sounds like he choked a little, He really is blaming himself for what happened. Remember this is cortana. Shes been with him for 4 games as his companion, imagine having someone you care about that was by your side on every journey who comforted you and helped you cope with stuff to all of a sudden seeing her betray you and become your enemy watching them become the very thing you both fought against, its painful for chief to see Cortana like that from a protector to a destroyer it was probably painful for Chief.

@@kingsley3208 it was a joke, christ

I mean he only served from 2525 to 2552 without her, which is only his complete career as the leader of the Spartan-II during the actual length of the Covenant war. His average relationship with any of his Spartans is barely 20 times the amount of time he knew Cortana. You're right, before knowing her he obviously couldn't conduct special operations at the age of twelve like recovering nuclear weapons or infiltrate heavily guarded asteroid bases, neither could he kill highly trained ODST specops with his bare hands at that age, he obviously couldn't manage himself in combat let alone be the leader of the whole Spartan program in the field ; he also couldn't wrestle an armored exoskeleton as simple training. He could never destroy a Covenant ship by himself nor could he single handedly turn the tide of entire battles against the covenant. It all happened because Cortana was there. He actually needs her a lot otherwise he would never have been selected into a program based on genetic selection to identify individuals with superior intellect, reflexes, strength and determination as well as mental stamina. He didn't even finish the fight in Halo 3 without Cortana for 2/3 of the game. He never fought without her in Halo 5 either. Cortana is a companion. He has and had many others. He is also extremely at ease to fight alone.

@@NKWittmann Facts.

That's what they want you to think.... I see someone has already corrected you.

@@NKWittmann Damn man. I even agree with you but that level of salt is bad for the blood pressure.

So does that mean Cortana gets her 'edge' by hanging around Chief?? Makes sense.

He was also remembering what happened to Cortana and having bad flashbacks.

wat

@@Razgriz_01 he means he didn’t know that weapon wasn’t aware that she was a clone, so when she finds out she freaks out, like he did

that's also chief's reaction...

Ikr 🤩

Looks better in old demo

I think h2a looks best

Yup. And it ruined the story

Yeah no exposure to the logic plague, no eating forerunner ai to gain new abilities, no spending multiple years rampant floating though space alone. Weapon should be fine.

It’s like with twins, they are biologically the same from birth, but over the course of their lives they become more distinct, both outside like skin damage or fat or cuts and scars, to their personality’s being changed by their individual distinct experiences of reality

but weapon does not know about any of those thing in this scene, as far as she knows she is just a new version of Cortana with everything but the memories. we as the players know that the odds of her going evil are small, but the character has no way of knowing. heck even chief likely knows that she is not likely to lose it, but has been burned to much to be able to fully trust his gut.

She's not really a copy so much as a younger sister if you ask me, sort of like Kalmiya who was Cortana's "older sister." Cortana and the Weapon were both created from cloned brains of Dr. Halsey, but they're not really the exact same person.

@Merciless Freak It's short because it's the prologue of a larger story. This is just the intro.

well she IS Halsey and and Halsey did made copies of Cortana

@@nathanvosburgh718 if anything, Cortana willingness to do what needs to be done is a Halsey's definitive trait, which she is inherited. And coupled with fact that AI goes rampant... Well, you saw yourself.

its literally always sounded like halsey

She's reached her final form!! Sassy Old Lady. :}

Yeah but you gotta realize how the whole Cortana situation messed with Chief. It may seem obvious to us, maybe even Chief knows it but when you go through the things Chief as gone through, you lock up, knowingly or not.

To me I feel like Chief's doubt towards Weapon is quite reasonable. I think Chief thought it was the rampancy and what happened in Halo 5 caused Cortana to do what she did at first. But after seeing all the terrible things Cortana did, Chief also starts to doubt that maybe Cortana chose to do all those deeds herself. Which is why when Weapon said it was Cortana's choice and programming, Chief said he doesn't know anymore, instead of defending her by explaining what happened to her.

He also afraid somebody will take control of Weapon either the Flood, Harbinger or Cortana herself. That’s why he tried to delete her.

To add on to what others have said, yeah it's how John reacts because if his relationship with Cortana. Dude has trust issues. But it's not ALL that. Remember rampancy is a natural part if the AI life cycle. And we know it has to do with the way the AI are constantly learning by accessing and analyzing their available data. That has a predictable timeline for a Nirmal AI but for a Cortana model, out on the Frontline and frequently interacting with forerunner AIs, flood graveminds and Covenant systems, they are storing much more complex data than nor al and that's might have an unknown affect on how the Weapon may develop.

​@@jonofpdx I always thought that, the rampancy time couldn't be set in stone due to how each AIs experiences differ. And with the amount of foreign tech that Cortana had interacted with, it HAS to of sped up the time it took for her to become rampant. I mean, she had, at one point or another, fully integrated with covenant ships, UNSC ships, UNSC bases, Flood controlled UNSC bases, and quite a lot of Forerunner tech too... She had probably stored so much data that she didnt have the time to convey to Chief, or Halsey. And think about humans when we have knowledge that we probably shouldnt have, like secrets about other people, they tend make choices they wouldnt usually, act differently around people and sometimes their personalities can literally change.

In my opinion I think when Cortona got stuck on the flood ship in Halo 3 the flood infected her with a Logic Plague which is what made her do everything in Halo 5 and Infinite

@@traviszane5334 no. She went Rampant due to age. The UNCS’s advanced AIs have an operational life expectancy, a lifetime. After about seven years, their neural maps create fatal feedback loops. As the wiki describes it: “if an AI is kept active longer than seven years, the AI begins to use more and more of its computer power 'thinking' about things. Dr. Halsey explains it as "thinking so hard that your lungs forget to breathe." They think themselves to death. Thus, it is only a matter of time before Smart artificial intelligences become rampant.”

@@Nick-78 San'Shyuum Alo Sebukah from halo legendary crate data drop #8 that the Gravemind was actually successful in infecting cortona with a logic plague in Halo 3. Logic plagues are symptomaticly similar to rampancy. Also in Halo 3 the Gravemind tried to force a huge amount of data into Cortana which would expedite the rampancy. Even if he couldn't get Cortana to switch sides he would have injured her which would in turn hurt the human race

I think I get how this was accomplished: in Halo: Shadows of Reach, Blue Team visits the ruins of CASTLE Base for some cryobins and a lockbox that Halsey claims will possibly hold the key to defeating Cortana. We never find out what those are. I bet that they're supposed to be the remaining cloned brains of Halsey like the one that Cortana was created from. It's how she created the Weapon. THAT'S what she was after the whole time!!!

Same goes for Ur-Didact and Iso-Didact. Iso became Ur so that he could complete what Ur always intended to do before suffering at the hands of the grave mind and going psycho. Halo is like poetry, it rhymes.

Mind blown

​@@WarGrowlmon18 I disagree with that theory. Why would they remove anything if she is just another rebuilt Cortana? They removed anything that might have compromised her and her memories. If she was just another new AI starting over the reaction in the video wouldn't be warranted. She's a copy of that Cortana. Her comment that his mission was destroy her, makes it obvious she is not a new AI but a literal copy and feeling guilt knowing that she had effectively done all that.

@@deadbatt9321 The Audio Logs concerning her creation start with the end of Shadows of Reach. Halsey also tells the Master Chief that she is "a blank slate" with no memories or history and that her core is nearly complete. She's a copy in the sense that she's effectively another Cortana because of the way that she was created and because she has the original's systems and routines, but she is also not a direct copy because she wasn't directly copied from Cortana herself which a true copy would be. The Master Chief simplified it more or less for the Weapon who is so naive and innocent that she didn't even know what a Banished is let alone understand the intricacies of Smart AI creation.

A ground invasion of Australia would be a disaster. The last thing you want to fuck with is a pissed-off drunken Australian dude riding an emu into battle.

Uh… wouldn’t call this a love story yet buddy. Remember, Chief and Cortana had years of bond and experience to justify the suspicion and assumption of romantic tensions between the two, whereas Chief only discovered and bonded with the Weapon here by the span of this game’s events while struggling with his secret mission and the fact that she’s Cortana’s copy at the same time. She’s so far a friend that’s to be trusted to help him and needs to be protected alongside the Pilot, so let’s not get too ahead of ourselves.

@@doctorpringles12 actually most of their time together was chief being in cryo. So technically Chief and Cortana only knew each other for a couple months.

@@josephcooper7981 true

They're cute couple 😌

@@josephcooper7981 In lore Chief and Cortana were together for more than 25 years during the human-covenant war.

I wonder why cause didnt they say that all the music in the campaign was ok to use?

there is music? I played that part with music on and there was 0 music.

Yes there should have been music and as the original comment said it makes this already awesome scene a lot better

@Merciless Freak extremely difficult to defend take, let's see how it plays out for him

@Merciless Freak and straight for the personal attacks for differing opinion over music in a video game! It went as well as we all expected folks.

I agree with that actually. She's created from another cloned brain of Halsey's. THAT'S what she had Blue Team get for her in Halo: Shadows of Reach: her surviving cloned brains from Cortana's creation.
