  • Originally, Cortana was suppose to betray Chief at the beginning of the level that would become Two Betrayal in Halo: Combat Evolved. I wonder if these were written before or after they made that change in the plot.

    Regardless, I could rabble for a long time about my own speculation on this. Though, I will say there is a sixth Cortana letter, though it was found on Bungie's Myth CD. It's easy to look up if anyone wants to read it.

  • Maybe these letters are hints to halo 4? I like halos secrets:]

  • 1:03 "This is the way the world ends..."

    Iconic.

  • Were these real?

  • some one send t he text of these to me plz

  • i think cortana is just using chief to gather information untill she reaches a forrunner planet that she will use to controle anyone she feels until chief will kill her or something to that effect

  • Cortana is communicating with Bias. Chief is just a tool, atleast until he finds out :(

  • @alibabanumber1 definitley, SEARCH "Perceiving the Dimensions of IRIS" its almost the same idea, MENDICANT BIAS is talking through her, I dont think she is concious of him being attached to her, In the IRIS messages he is doing the same to ADJUCTANT REFLEX, hacking into his systems to communicate with us

  • this shit makes no sense ................

    yet it creeps the shit outta me

  • You do realize that Bungie said these are NON CANON unless they are referenced or repeated IN GAME right?

  • Go to your URL bar. Type in Lyca, nothing else. Press enter. The rest... I guess you're going to have to find out for yourself.

  • @chezlonian ok so i went thir... i dont know whats its about.. plz explain?

  • @chezlonian i read it all wt does it mean?

  • at 4:17 ((source: BW - AI aboard (?) PoA)) poa being pillar of autumn

  • Are you fucktards connecting this with 2012?

  • @Apocalyptikai yes.. yes they are sadly...

  • RAMPANCY!

  • @irish2owner was thinking of that myself

  • halo its real in the first letter it says *THIS IS THE WAY THE WORLD WILL END*

  • These are a warning not the future of a video game. it tells us many things but we just think of the video game. 2012 arrival of COVANENT arrival of FLOOD arrival of MASTER CHIEF arrival of CORTANA there is more to say but i am not taking time for this. everyone must look closer to the endings of the games and these letters... any unknown answers message me... i will explain

  • Remember guys, you need to think about the A.I. Melissa (Durga) also. I think when it says "May disregard all previous communications from the entity calling itself Cortana" it might be Durga. You can tell something (or someone) is overriding her hence the third person point of view

  • Cortana is defiantly more than an AI construct possibly Forerunner or something

  • i think bungie started a huge conspiracy with the tri gate and the letters more then cloverfield

  • .... i'm currently trying to contact "Cortana", using the incessantly creepy style used in the letters. if i get anything, i'll post it here.

  • who the fuck is Lyca?

  • I gots a chiver

  • you people take halo waaay to serioiusly

  • How did you write with halo words

  • mabey the anel was master chief

  • i have found a message in halo 2 its quite funny actually and none on youtube has found it exept me but its on zanzibar

  • Comment removed

  • apart from the chosen 1 and the other chief the bungie logo said the other test and something about ODST. i think we can all agree that bungie is trying to tell us something but i think its not all in the bungie logo. it did say the other test.

    im going to look 4 more clues k?

  • okey my guess is that it is one of the other ais like endless summer

  • Wow! Halo Has A Deep Story Line And Secrets Hidden Everywhere. Have You Heard The Messages Hidden Within The OST. Freaky Stuff Man.

  • this is cool so does this mean humans r forunners and cortana hate chief?

  • thanks cortana,now i hate the covenant

  • This is true.

  • So cortana uesd cheif?

    And she doesnt like him?

    Or maybe she grew a bond between them. So she does like him now

  • the one about gods and daemons is saying the forrunners are really humans, the GODS of the covenant and also their DAEMONS. the daemon in black robes is the FLOOD PROPHET GRAVEMIND, and saving your pethetic futers is when they BLEW UP HALO and saved the COVENANT FROM THE RINGWORLDS ACTIVATION. see, i pay atention.

  • omg....you guys are all fukin dumb as shit....this is a VIDEO GAME. ALL OF THIS SHIT WAS WRITTEN BY SOMEONE SITTING AT A DESK AT BUNGIE!!! WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU IGNORANT FOOLS??

    Have a nice day.

  • these letters were ritten durring world war two

  • So what if it is a video game. So what if it is written by someone sitting at a desk. I see this as a way to view the idea behind a good story. Does the fact that The Lord of The Rings, Harry Potter, or Star Wars were all written by someone sitting be hind a desk make them any less enjoyable. NO! So who gives you the right to call someone, that likes to know something about a story they enjoy, an ignorant fool. You are the fool for not seeing past the fact that Halo is a video game.

  • @Yuffierikkulover88 sent a letter to that person how wrote

  • @Yuffierikkulover88 You Ignorant bich, don't you see, halo is more than a game. It is a religion, a idol, a way of living. you on the other hand are a dumb fuk who doesn't even know what he is talking about. You fuk face, you are just a ho with no life and friends.

  • @GermanPanzerzhreck Sure the game sends a pretty good message, to Some people who are willing to see it. But calling someone a dumb FUCK and outrageously accusing them of having no life and friends.

    I love halo, and i like being taken into an epic world whenever i play the game. But seriously though. Its a game.

    Just because someone doesnt have the same exact views as you doesn't make them everything bad and evil.

  • 1;17 just says the law was given by moses but jesus christ brought us undeserved kindness and truth

    What does that mean

  • Link that verse to Master Chief, John.

  • wat

  • Check it:

    Spartan-117

    1;17

  • Thank you, lol. I'd expect that most people could understand the bible.

  • Come to think of it, wasn't that a John verse in the bible?

  • No, it's a book within the bible, there's somewhere around 42 book's in the bible.

  • @theglitchmixers 42's a multiple of 7 :)

  • Yes, you know basic math :p.

  • amen amen! AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • zombies right bungie said so them self it was just to get people syked about halo and it did (the way the world ends )is said when cortana is corupt the flood is the one saying it (the way the world ends for them)cortana says it then the flood say it during the mission halo ps (my gamer tag is daniel6231

  • one thing i do not undserstand is who she is talking to and who is talking

  • To everyone I suppose

  • freaky. can i get an amen?

  • amen!!!

  • wats a amen

  • Oh puh-lese. the cortana leters where just sent out to hype up the world about halo. it was subliminal marketing b4 halo even came out. i mean come on. it's bungie. it's not like it has some deep political or religious meaning.

  • ow, you have no idea how damn religious this game gets do you, Master Chief-Spartan 117, take a look at the bible John verse 1;17... And theres so much more

  • i dont see how john 1;17 fits with halo

  • how dare you defile the holy book of bungie

  • The letters along with this song seriously creeps me out.

    Maybe Cortana is more than just an A.I.

  • Bungie forged or not, its a possiblity shel try to kill him. If youve read the books it says she got really strange after entering halos data base. plus, remember when you go into the flood infested ship to get cortana in halo 3 and she starts saying all that wierd ass shit like " I HAVE DEFIED GODS." Maybe she learned something from the database that made her a nut. She could kill chief easily. All she has to do is screw with his suit while he is in combat.

  • i have the true facts, i got them form the actual site, watch my video on it

  • where

  • It's called marketing, it's awesome huh? It gets dumbasses to spread it around.

  • It's called marketing. Christ.

  • these letters sounded almost demonic

  • so cortana was just using master chief to take out the covenant?

  • this is fucking awsome gotta admit i was just wondering with cortana's real if it was damn.......

  • i love that song! requim for a dream great movie, thats where i heard it first

  • hmm. those r weird, whose was cortana talking to. when she said she was sharing with a slavishly non humorous AI in MC's Head

  • she was talking about the chief when she said that.

  • nvm. Used Tunatic :D

    Anyone else that may wonder its Requiem for a dream - Lord of the Rings

  • what song is this?!?!!

  • The letters are on about befor halo 1 to the last halo that will be made. if you think about it halo is a lie cortaina is a entite that has seen the angle who as with jesus when he rose from the dead she has seen 117's death because... she is his death because the letter says dont believe it meaning her she shall kill spartan 117

    and by the way i know all about halo ask me a Question 9that you know the answer o are are woundering about) and i will answer it.

  • 7 th coloum

  • what i thought was funny is that if you played the halo games, you got the idea that cortana like MC, but in the letters, you get the feeling that she "doesn't like to share; sharing is for children."

    With that, you would think she HATES him!

    I wonder, who was it that really wrote it? whoever it was has a great ability to send shivers down the spines of thousands of halo-players. To the person who wrote the letters, i thank you for the great mystery.

    =^.^=

    Bug

  • the Cortana email contains the Greek symbol sigma ( BACKWARDS E ). In the Greek alphabet  is the seventh last letter.

  • Comment removed

  • dude get a life that was just someone from bungie who wanted to make the halo series more popular.

  • dude. check the date these came out. its before the halo series

  • Some douche tried to copy the Cortana letters by sending to random people, but he did it with Hotmail... Lol...

  • this is the way the world ends is from TS eliot "with not a bang, but a whimper." so she was saying the world will end violently. oh and whoever said that cortana was real, that that this was a theory, your retarded. this came out before halo 1. it was just a way of letting people know that there was a new game in development. the cortana letters became more of a mystery becuase the game never got to be introduced during the E3 of 1999. this message was meant to be decoded not to scare people.

  • the cortana letters were out between halo 2-3 were they not?

  • that is kinda freaky when u atcualy think about wat the leaters say

  • good thing chief saves her in number three and keeps her from making gravemind kill all the "zealots" which i assume means earth.

  • sooo.....wat ur sayin is that cortana is real..? and halo is real(theory)

  • i think that the propehts have something to do with all of this.  the demons are probably the flood, or something worse. idk we will have to find out if they make another halo.

  • Nah, Halo 3 is the last, but thats just what I expect, you may be right, there could be more.... I mean The chief never did destroy all of the rings, but I guess we wont know until further notice

  • have you seen the end of halo 3 after the credits if you beat it on legendary? well, if you ever do, you'll know that there is a good chance of a sequal, maybe not called halo, but nevertheless a sequal.

  • somebody should take every bold letter in those letters and see wat it comes up with

  • this is some creepy shit

  • i really think me adding the music really pumped the scarryness instead of just having the letters.

  • true. specially this type of music

  • HAPPY CORTANA LETTERS DECADE

  • and one more thing couldnt there be words in the letters or something? this is for the people wh osay there is a message in the E3 trailer :O OMG MY HEART IS BEATING LIKE CRAZY!!!!!!!!! and i am shivvering !!!!!!! omg it kinda hurts inside idk why But wtf is happening whit these letters?!?!?!?!

  • what is that text yyou used called?

  • halo 3 font :p

  • i think you can finnd those in the terminals. i know were all of them are

  • See, Cortana is actually Frankie (the main guy at bungie studios} he was giving info to his girlfriend about upcoming halo games. And guess who his girlfriend is, MEG. That's why he left the message that said, XOXOXOXOX

  • btw Gravemind is captain keyes from halo:CE

  • letter 2:XOXOXO as in hugz and kissiz? wtf?

  • wha?

  • X means hug and O means kiss, XOXOXO mean some one got laid xD jk jk.

  • I think that it is the Gravemind speaking through Cortana, becuase we dont know what exactly happened in Halo 3. Hes explaining that The Flood was created by the Forerunners, in a form of a super weapon. The Gravemind tells how he is different becuase he expeirences human like feelings, tieing back to the 2nd letter about freinds and what not. The only way the flood can be destroyed is obliviously starving them, which means destroying anything that can basically be a host to the Parasite.

  • Yo guys, as you probably seen in the vid, it wass I that created the video, but ths is my account, theglitchmixers is the groups account, and redhaloanimation is an old gaming/machinima group i made like last year, but all i really used it for was to edit videos for the glitch mixers. just wanted to get you guys straight, ok.

  • Bungie are very smart. i cant imagine cortana as some sort of religios leader though, i wonder if the halo trilogy was build around these letters which were formed around odd notes and draft scripts. (i am not saying that i am correct ^^)

  • mechgeek, SomeGuyInWhite your both genius' and feefee8 that part anbout the ring being fired sounds promising

  • i like the forth prophet idea from redhaloanimation, all this sounds like a good untold story. Lets continue thinking of ideas.

  • lol redhaloanimation thats another one of our accounts

  • i that cortana is an entity that has seen the past and know the future. Some sort of all knowing prophet. She has taken settlement in the mind of Master chief and is using his body to get revenge or to fulfill a prophecy. I think that by talking to master chief she can control what he does. Almost like the ending twist to the game bioshock. This guess could be completely inaccurate.

  • The sun she pictures "black and shining with creatures inching along its fiery tracks" could be a halo being activated

  • who is lyca?

  • This is the reason I love Bungie. This is fucking brilliant!

  • im fukin wiereded out dude

    i think there refering to the da vinci code about the 4 beasts and 4 empires

    :( im quite scared

  • Actually, the three beasts are from the book of Revelations. The Da Vinci code was written sometime 2003. The letters were written in 99', way before our time.

  • Er, you got them wrong, you actually wrote the first 7 cortana letters instead of the first 5.

  • hay guys, at 1:49, it sais "There was a fourth, you couln't have known, but i havent forgoten." do you think she means the prophets? if so, then there is a fourth prophet.

  • its supposed to say "i have won" instead of "i have one"

  • yah, lol ur the forth person that has said that. i fixed it with an inotation thingy.

  • when i was talking about master chief being a deamon? well he always jumps from the ship doesnt he and when something enters the atmosphere of a planet then it heats up leaving black smoke and she says @in my dreams i see a deamon folded in BLACK CLOUDS' which could b the black smoke.

  • im afraid all the people who said about the poet eliott r wrong she doesnt say thats not how it ends she says THIS is how it ends so it may not go out with a bang or a whimper but a :struggle.

  • When the letter mentions a poet named Eliot it's reffering to one of his poems when he states "This is the way the world ends not with a bang, but with a whimper..." and the letter states he had it wrong so if it wont end with a whimper what will it end with?

  • im afraid some1 already beat u 2 that conclusion in another vid good insight though

  • i have theorized that gravemind is a interdeminsional being because if halo 2 in one part he says he has listened through time/space metal/rock and all that so he can predict and see what will happen in the future even his own death even if it isn't his death because in halo 3 he "died" but if he can space travel then that can be a future gravemind in the past leaving "another" gravemind out there so the flood still exist.

  • dude wtf, thats brilliant!

  • thanks lol

  • your right sasori did make a well put analysis

  • cortona trying to say eliot was wrong because eliot said "the world would end with no bang but a whimper" and when she said he was wrong as in the world ends with a bang & if u've seen the end of halo3 then u know what shes referring 2 & gravemind is not 1 with cortana ,cortana is being contolled by gravemind & cortona is being forced 2 say false things as well as true but i think she starts saying false thing after that mesg. said transmission interupted that last part about bein cramped is bs

  • okay , at first this is not all fake , it's some sort of giant riddle , we are trying to find out.

    So far i agree with SomeGuyInWhite about the first letter (Sounds reasonable)

    Altough , i doubt the theory of the angel firement , Cortana stopped it in halo 1 .. so why would she say she fired it?

    I think she means Master Chief , Because she was always with him and they killed countless flood.

  • what if cortana and gravemind are 1. and they always were because why the hell would someone like gravemind take cortana it seems pointless unless they have some type of connection. and she was talking about the 4 giants and everyone forgot about 1 of them. is that giant gravemind?? and she said she never forgot so she knew about him before everyone else did.when she says i dont know what he saw in you is she talking about another one of those giants keeping the humans alive? im lost

  • If you look on wikipedia, Bungie hs stated the letter's were written when the game was under development and Cortana's personality has changed since the time of the letter's.

  • Oh, and your poet Eliot was wrong: THIS is the way the world ends=In 1945, shortly after the second world war a poet named Eliot wrote a poem, the last line of this poem read: "This is the way the world ends. This is the way the world ends. This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang. But with a wimper.". Meaning that the world would not end with a wimper, but with a bang!

    There is my summary, complete except for what the first line of that letter means. If any has any Ideas do tell.

  • ur right there but if cortana says "ur poet eliot was wrong there wil be a bang o shit

  • yah, i dont think the world will wimper when everyone will vanish because they wont see it comming, it will just happen. and thats wat halo is designed to do.

  • Halo doesn't wimper. You don't see the pulse coming. It is between the two empires. "A blurry line..."

  • I have seen your future=The gravemind is all knowing.

    And I have learned=He has learned from his listening and waiting.

    There will be no more sadness. No more Envy. No more Anger=Everything will be gone, the flood feel nothing and will destroy everything.

    I HAVE WON=The gravemind has won what he was fighting for, regardless of what happens.

  • nope wrong

  • I beleive this is the gravemind speaking, and here is what I think the first post mean to the knowledge so far.

    I have walked on the edge of the Abyss=?

    I have governed the unwilling=The flood take over life forms against their will.

    I have witnessed countless empires fall before me=The flood have destroyed ALOT of empires.

    I have seen the most courageos soldiers fall away in fear=The flood are extremly frightening.

    [I was there with the Angel at the tomb]=Mechgeek's idea

  • no its from a poem by ts eliot i don't know what it means but i know u r wrong there

  • nope he's right.

  • tnx 4 mentioning me

  • also dont u find it weird that she says the SUNS are shining and also when someone is acting weird they say i get weird signals not weird transmitions. also when she says a black sun and yet shining isnt that an eclypse? and a halo at the right angle emits light and looks like an eclipse?black sun. And going back to what i said about the suns shining instead of sun well eclipse=sun and eclypse looks like a halo and there is a halo system.

  • hey u know the coverned of the unwilling? well couldnt that be the flood be the enbodyment of that?

  • You genius!

  • My mind can crack puzzles easily so these letters r a challenge 2 me and i think ive nearly got it, I've looked into it more. She says "I have seen countless empires BREAK before me". so dont think thats to do with the flood, because the flood dont break armies they posses them.But the elites control other races e.g. the brutes and grunts but they dont really like eachother so they BREAK into factions like the heratics and so on. And the elites have been round 4 a vry long time thats my outlook.

  • Ah! The forerunner had a list of different technological tiers which they could reference the different civilizations that they came across known as the 'Technological Advancement Tiers'.

    Anyway, my point of it is that the Brutes were the only race that had acheived tier 3 (Space Age) around the time of the Forerunner, the problem being that they reduced themselves back to a pre-industrial state (Tier 7) through civil war. Assuming that the Grave Mind only saw proper warfare around the time of

  • the Forerunner before the conflict that takes place in the Halo series, the Elites couldn't have been involved in 'Breaking' empires.

  • no i mean the elites r breaking because the brutes grunts and elites dont really like eachother so they 'break' into other groups eg the heretics u fight in halo2 and the elites r owned by the oracles and the run the EMPIRE and they 'break' their factions.

  • have you guys seem like idiots...

  • hey u know when the halo fires it hasnt been used in like ages well a halo is on the head of an angel isnt it? so it not being used in ages could b the tomb and the halo firing could b the angel.

  • you made yourself look dumb...

  • how?

  • me?

  • dude wow, i never thought of that. nice, i though she ment the tomb were jesus was burried. but this is alot more theoretic (if thats a word) nice.

  • oh btw i didnt mean 2 put the @ sign there

  • also they call master chief the deamon and it does say that @you seem to be their devil' (soz about the comments but i have a cryptic mind)

  • well a halo is a circle right? so wouldnt the circle of concealed power be a halo?

  • yah it could be. also it says something about they dont know the power of the sancuary. well there is a halo 2 map called sancuary... simmalarity?

  • How do u type them halo letter i need to know

  • 03:02 she means Halo when she says "This sanctuary,this unbroken circle, has effectively concealed its power for how long?" She may also mean Halo 4.

  • lol, " I HAVE ONE "

    Dont you mean " I HAVE WON " ?

    Anywya, cool vid
