Kotaku: The Problem With ... SP (Gaming)

Me either, Kermit. Red eyes, not being clear with us. Choosing to stay behind on high charity. Talking to the grave mind and not giving us any info. She's finally playing her part.

That's not the Cortana I knew.

The Cortana I knew was loyal and courageous. The Cortana you're talking about is a mustache-twirling villain. How does it benefit her evil plan to send the Chief to face the Flood with no intel, and then intervene when 343 Guilty Spark is about fire the Halos? Why would she lock herself in the same space station as an eldritch abomination with a penchant for iambic meter and mindraping AIs?

That's the sort of hidden agenda villain you get when David Lindeloff or Chris Carter are writing the script.

Have you seen that post on HBO regarding the Cortana letters?

Yes. One document written early in the first game's development and subsequently abandoned does not overwrite the characterization established in three games and two books.
