[zetsumeimaru]

Shiest man, brutal. You should have been on the editing team.

[LilyzLily]

This is a great story,with the plot and everything makes people beleive in hundreds of year on mars life will exsit (witch it will since theres ice(water) there and life will grow)Nice story i bet that this will happen in atleast 1000 years cause of life on mars and maybe them(aliens) will want to have our great planet. But thats just me :]]]]]]]]]]]]] LOL

[Spencdabomb]

rofl its friggen hallarious that ppl will believe that something made for a video game is real but yet say that christians are retarded to believing that one day will come the tribulation where the antichrist will rule for 7 years

[blackfieldvids]

oh and all the conspiracies about how the world is going to end in 2012 maybe that was based on the real person cortana or her letters it just seems strange how there bassed on the same sorta thing the end of the world

[blackfieldvids]

i think that this could be some sort of warning maybe like she can see into the future or somthing because how could she know about eliots poem she could of read it but?? wtf?

[d4rkestlite]

this is freaky

[MarineSmileyCentral]

I dont get it. So cortana was a real person? Or bungie made a letter from cortana perspective? Also why is this letter so important and a big deal?

one more thing is this poem or letter about the real world?

Please reply anyone

[cbbvf]

Cortana was real they say that she could over power God

[firebanesword]

Bungie made letters from Cortana's perspective. These were made to get the gamers thinking. The poem is about the world of Halo (which is set in the future).

Cbbvf's stupid if he actually believes that...

@firebanesword Cortana is a character in one of the verses in the Bible i believe. Thats where bungie got the names Cortana AND Durandal. He doesnt realise that this is a videogame thing.He thinks this is about the verse.

[TheBalrukt]

@firebanesword Just realised i replied to a 2 year old comment :/

[LilyzLily]

I dont get it is the Cortona leters Reality. Is this realy how it Ends.The side of the Appocalypse? First Letter : I have walked the edge of the Abyss.

I have governed the unwilling.

I have witnessed countless empires break before me.

I have seen the most courageous soldiers fall away in fear.

[I was there with the Angel at the tomb.]

I have seen your future.

And I have learned.

Oh, and your poet Eliot had it all wrong,

THIS is the way the world ends.

A friend of a friend.

[ullermech]

I just realized something, have walked the edge of the Abyss.

I have governed the unwilling.

I have witnessed countless empires break before me.

I have seen the most courageous soldiers fall away in fear.

I have seen your future.

And I have learned.

On the mission "CORTANA" in Halo3, if you activate the secret terminal, she says that....

its pretty creepy

[cbbvf]

i guess so, maybe Halo will one day be reality, a war with an advanced species mabe there might even be a real Master Chief but until then we just have to wait and see.

[Spencdabomb]

how could we wait and see? if so that will be hundreds of years from now! WE WILL BE FRIGGEN DEAD!!!

[lokasdekartas]

what are the cortana letters????

[Tuvnomoper]

that describes the appocalypse

[Michaeljones121]

I think ther's nothing to be worried about. She could have just stated her opinion about how she thinks the world ends. people there is no need to overeact and say "OMG We're all going to die!" only God can end this world. He'll end it how he wants to end it.

[HHHdahman]

Thank you! But it will end in war,chaos, confusion.

Read Revelation, for more info.

[macsarepoo]

were did u get the download for the video?

[vectorm1299]

countless empires fall? maybe she talking about all her knowledge of earth empires that has risen and fallen. And she has learnt from their mistakes, becoming more adept at warefare?

[DragoonJ786]

when she says i have defied gods and demons u can hear gravemind speak behind her

[montreal961]

I have witnessed countless empires break before me: The Elites And The covenant

I have defied God and Demonds : The 3 prophets and The Gravemind.

I was tehre with the angel at the tomb: There with the MC at The Ark or Halo.

I am your shield: Protects the MC with knoledge

I am your sword: Supplying the cheif with The Index

No more sadness, anger, endvy: when the Ar is destroyed

There was a big bang whe the Ark was shaterd

thus ending the "world" of war.

[BBJoe422]

Quipsilon actually nailed this one.the "I stood with the angel at the tomb" was a bit of graveminds own proudness of being a lunatic immortal with near infinite knowledge.

Cortana was "created" from Dr Hasleys brain but obsiously she has her own thought pattern that somehow coincides with whatever the Master Chief is doing at the time, which brings up the possibility that the program was already written and learning before it took on the intelligence of Dr Hasleys brain and was known as Cortana

[wkp117]

all i know is that when i went to bungie website once she apperared on the monitor and said somthing and then left

[Quipsilon]

Is it just me or do these cortana letters suggest that Cortana has been around forever?? But how could that be if she was created from Dr. Halsey's brain?? Nice job figuring out the first letter BTW, but I still don't see a connection with the whole angel at the tomb thing or how she has seen countless empires before???? Perhaps SOME of these are the gravemind speaking through cortana......

[dragonmachin117]

so the books tell u wats the big deal with the cortanna letters?

[aceofspades1092]

she does say i have defied gods and demons in the letter

[ariadarabi]

=O I...ate...halo =( I love this song! =D

[xgen2008]

cyber cex

[PhrexianReturns]

Oh my God. READ THE BOOKS YOU NOOBS. Then you might know what the hell is going on. AUGMENTATIONSZ LULZ

[ariadarabi]

"This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang, but a whimper." I don't know why cortana is such a valuable thing to the chief...he must be hiding something...xD

[aceofspades1092]

you do know cortana did not say the world will end in a whimper, she said TS elliott was rong.

[DASpArTaN]

NO the forerunners were human that lived long ago... play the last level in halo 3 and 343 guilty spark tells u

[swordandsnipe]

search the cortona letters on google you will be surprised how long ago they actually came out it might have been one of the writers for halos story but the are from 1999

[bigbadbang18]

That thing you see in the trailer is the Ark. And Cortana is speaking through Gravemind. Therefore, "this is the way the world ends" is referring to the Flood. The Prophet of Truth wants to kill humanity so he can become the most powerful being in the galaxy.

[chrislawman91]

i think ull find that thing isnt the ark, but a portal that leads to it, and the gravemind is speaking through her, to get to spartan, just after the portal opens the flood come to earth...

[InTheArmsOfGod]

"a friend of a friend" - there's your answer

[InTheArmsOfGod]

Greatest promo trailer ever

[haloguy956]

if you think about it it kinda sounds like she betrayed them if she made the rings

[NESsr388]

the letters mean cortana made the rings

[Darkdayzz]

how can that be if cortana was created in the year 2540's...cuz if u read halo the fall of reach u know that cortana is in fact the "Child" of Dr Hasley

[adam123456789097531]

what if there are more then one cortana remmeber in the level were you go to high charity she says somthing about "her mother" and it also says somthing about her mother in the cortana

letters just a thought

[chrislawman91]

cortana did not make the rings, the forerunners did! the rings are really old and are the older than the time we live in now, because that portal to the ark that u see on the video has been buried for millions of years, and the rings where all made at the ark...

[XXflapjaxXX]

I think the letters mean she went rampant (ai's when they go insane in the halo storyline) because of the weirdness of it. I think that means she might die in halo 3.

[ahcomets33]

she cant die bc she already did die. cortana is just a simulation of the creator of the spartan armor.

[guygetshitbyplane]

Maybe when she says that there will be no more saddness, she means that the Halo system will activate and destroy all life in the galaxy...meaning no more fighting, or sorrow.

[godofwar191]

shes talking aobut skulls envy,anger.

[mewebi]

the letters actually appeared before halo 1 even came out..and at the end of it mastercheif somewhat quotes one of the letters..

[KSCaboos]

the courtana letters they based what she said in those letter and putt then in to halo 3 traler

[wolfpawn]

Brilliant, purely brilliant. You must make more videos using the cortana letters. Out of all the Halo videos I have seen, your video is the best.

[Otakudude123]

dude, do you know this video was the first trailer teaser for halo 3?

it was made by bungie

[wolfpawn]

Wow, replying to a comment i posted 2 months ago. talk about late. lol. Yes, of course i know this was made from bungie and that it was the first trailer teaser for halo 3. I should have been more specific and said make more fan made videos or something like that.

[almost093]

i love this video and i about to shit my pants if i cant find an x box for the halo3 realeace

[BSBGIRL11212]

sisters account this is a set up i have seen empires fall reach harvest the outer colonies in halo books!! i have seen the soldiers cower in fear the flood! and i know you your past and future maybe cortana knows masterchief( guess) and there will be no sadness and blah blah maybe a truce in h3 or.. some one will win...

[nemsison]

[Coono]

[brenpm]
