He is the Master Chief, he will not cry. We can cry for him.
He did from inside
Good reference
I'm not crying, I've just something in my eyes.

He will crush his enemies, see them driven before him & hear the lamentation of the women 😉
“I chose well Master Chief. Now it’s up to you.” -Cortana’s last words to Chief
RIP Cortana, it’s been an honor serving with you.
I didn't quite understand what the writers intended to convey here actually. She means that she chose the best spartan for the job, or she is proud of her eventual sacrifice? Also "Now it's up to you"? What is up to chief? To move on? Or to accept Weapon?
@@tlfearofthedarkhun387 She was given a choice by Halsey to choose a Spartan she considered the best to be paired up with. She is proud of being paired up with Master Chief. And what is up to Chief? To finish the fight with the Banished. What she did was cripling the ring to stop the Banished from destroying the galaxy but it cost her her life. Now Banished are still there and she is relying on John to take care of the rest after she is gone.
@@Altherot Thanks! Makes sense.
She always told him she does know how to pick'em, this was her saying it for the last time
@@blqcktiger2152 And that latent function is the root of female and male relationships?
I didn't cry I was just left with a huge void in my heart. It's only now I realise, the same cortana we fought along side in halo 1, 2, 3 and 4. The one we grew to know and love, is now apologising for her mistakes, telling you to move on. And it's too late to do anything. You just have to move on.
Dude, like I feel for John. Like, I read the books and idc what anyone says that man loves her and she him. He’s literally lost everything.
@@tylerlane4587 yeah I know I honeslty wish the portrayed there relationship better. I also don't like how they basically killed her off in halo 4 and how the rampant side of her is what she was during halo 5 and infinite. I really wish she we could've seen her alive with chief one last time.
That’s what being a man is. Keep moving forward.
@@tylerlane4587if you read the books you then you still know John has blue team left so he hasn’t lost everything
@@mad_man_savage452 yes but we never really see them
I can just SEE John’s eyes tearing up behind that visor during Cortana’s final goodbye
I personally believe he loved her. An she loved him. The best way, a man who thinks he’s machine can love someone and the best way a machine can try to understand how to love someone 😢🥺
He is the Master Chief, he will not cry. But we can cry for him.
@@mattrR678 Amen to that!
If he did cry, he's never been more confused. What I will say is I could feel the pit that opened up in his heart when she disappeared... again.
@@tylerlane4587 for years she was all he had and he was all she had in an empty universe. I think she is what kept him human.
Its weird that she called him Master Chief...apart of me wished she had said John like she did at emotional times
Makes sense. Their relationship was destroyed doesn't make sense for her to call him john
cortana's first sentence to John " hello MasterChief im cortana'"
cortana's last sentence to John " i choose well masterchief, now its up to you"
@@Fabian6980 I mean in this same scene she also calls him John and makes a joke so I doubt it's that.
Calling him John was very sensitive and she said that mostly at their most vulnerable moments, for the two of them it was always a symbol of sad departure. Her calling him just Master Chief, which she generally used to say on their official missions where they were a happier and hopeful pair, is to cheer him up, to remind him what they already went through together and how they always kept fighting. It is to encourage the brave soldier in him to move on and keep on going. John as a human is depressed and vulnerable, but as Master Chief, he is unstoppable, and she needs MC to finish the fight and John to move on.
“We just keep saying goodbye don’t we” 🥺
"She said... goodbye."
This is the last time for real
That's me saying goodbye to this franchise 10 years ago lol
@@adron7748yet you still commenting on this video 😂
@@WarGrowlmon18too many times before
This was risky. There's a good chance the Weapon will just always feel like "not Cortana" to people...I think it took balls to give us a sincere moment with Cortana like this, one last time. And she was beautiful here, too, with a visual throwback to the early Halos. Yup, I teared up. We'll always love her. And Chief will too.
Of course she will feel that way. She *isn't* the old Cortana. She will be her own character, and personally I'm fine with that.
Kinda, I like the weapon though. Her and Chief have a very differing relationship more of a Father/Daughter kinda thing. Which I like.
Dad and daughter watching the mom's last words in a recording.
What a perfect family we have here.😄
More like a younger sister watching older sister say goodbye to her friend
@@Spartan_Ghost98 Ever seen someone older tell you that you're the spitting image of your parent?
This tugged at the old heart strings lol, sad that the OG cortana’s gone but am proper looking forward to what else they have planned for infinite!
For infinte? Are they gin a do DLCs not a new game?
@@marzouk6270 343 said that halo infinite will be 10 year game, and i think there will bee alot dlcs
Bro so true!
@@rainerraudsepp3172 they will continually add campaign levels, new fobs, probably completely new parts of the ring, all for the next 10 years
I Cried honestly as soon as Chief turned around and came face to face with Cortana
Fuck what anyone says and thinks, Cortana got her redemption, all is forgiven. We love you and we'll never forget you Cortana
Agreed.
Fuck Cortana. Stop simpin
Small consolation for the billions she killed...
I don't know if I agree. Like, her sacrifice was noble. But she literally destroyed a planet, destroyed a Spartan training station, and Australia was destroyed.
I see it more as a “truce”. Similar to what happened with the Shangellis, humanity does not and will not forgive what the Elite race did to ours, but we will be allies.
Cortana thought she was doing what she needed to do for the greater good, even deeper, she was doing it for selfish reasons.
Just like Hasley did when she created the Spartan 2 program. Just like Halsey did when she tried to hide the remaining Spartans in Onyx. But unlike Halsey, Cortana admitted she was wrong. Even if it was too late.
Now John and the Weapon have been given a gift. To learn from the mistakes that have been made and to be the ultimate paragon of what Halsey and Cortana thought they could achieve on their own.
It’s a beautiful send off.
It is just me, or is this 343’s subtle way of apologizing what they did to Cortana back at Halo 5??
Either way, I’m really so glad how this game turned out. Halo’s back! And it’s exactly what we waited for.
If this is subtle, what's obvious?
@@noahsmith28 You right
No more resurrections for Cortana this time.
Yes
This whole game was an apology for halo 5
Damn dude, I'm no bitch but that scene brought out ALL the emotion of the past 17 years😭
Tell me about it, I'm a framing carpenter and cried like a little kid during this, same with the ending to halo 4
Not alot of video games have made me cry but this.... This broke me. Played halo my whole life and after all these years Cortona is gone.
I know the pain man, I've played since February of 02, I was 11 then, I'm 30 now. Chief and Cortana were the best, they could accomplish anything and everything. It hurt in Halo 4 when she died but I knew she'd come back, she had to. This time though, I don't have the feeling she'll come back, I'll still hope though.
To me it feels like Cortana didn't get justice... it just feels like 343 ruined her and kinda pushed her out of the way with an apology.
Wouldn't mind if they made 4,5 and Infinite a nightmare for Master Chief and he wakes up to the UNSC finding him and a healthy Cortana. That or the new Cortana gets every memory from all the Halo games but only with Master Chief, she resorts back to her Halo 2 personality and sass.
She didn't die, she ran out of batteries
The fact that I remember one time when the weapon said "are you alright" to John (idk if it was this part or another time, John said "no, I'm not" it must take someone really special to chief for him to say that
I was hoping, desperately hoping that somewhere, Cortana was still alive. The fact that we actually got to see her, one last time... the waterworks flowed. The way Chief didn't say anything, I can't even imagine the pain he went through in that moment. Such a brief reunion, so brutally cut short.
Damn it, 343. Good job.
Yo, I still have that hope dude. When you think about her discussion with Atriox (changing things when you know the circumstances of one's death) and the help John got during the game. Moreover, there has been a time rupture of 3 days which means there can be changes in time. I'm pretty sure Cortana will find a way. She will use something to go back to us and change things.
played through this 3 times and this scene still got me every time. love this game, well done 343.
"We keep saying goodbye", I don't know why but that line made me tear up.
Bruh I ain’t gonna lie got teary eyed
When she's whispering about him being her main source of happiness or whatever, in the final mission, I started to tear up. Bought back alot of nostalgia of their relationship, and really made me think about how awful it must be to be a sentient programme, once become self aware.
You aren't alone. Such a raw moment.
We are crying and it's hard to swallow our words like John was when he was hearing cortanas apology
I spent the last 6 months trying to get over being cheated on and left by my fiancé. She had a mental break and was somewhat abusive on her way out. I tried everything I possibly could to get her help and I failed. And afterwards, nothing seemed to help me get over the experience. For some reason, this story arc feels like someone trying to get over a really bad breakup. The symmetry helped me feel some closure.
She lost it and John tried everything he could to save her, but it just wasn’t enough. Now it’s time for him to move on and I feel some of that closure myself. Strange how a video game can impact your psyche like that. Thank you for that 343, I really needed it.
I’m sorry Brendon… I can’t imagine what you are going through. I also got some closure from this game as well for a relationship that semi mirrors yours. Know this Brendon I don’t know you but I will keep you in my prayers bud and I wish you a happy life.
I relate to this man. Stay strong brother sending love your way
Hope you’re doing well. Stay strong brother.
do your vietuao fiancee looked like cortana ?
Hmm. You wrote that as almost if you were standing in my shoes. Just know there's others going through the exact same thing. Thanks for understanding. It's even been 6 months for me as well.
Did anyone notice when the camera rotated 360 at around 2:38, Weapon and Cortana's projected light merges while you continue to see Master Chief's armour through the projections. Very subtle and real attention to detail of how light interacts with itself - I tip my hat to the developers for the immersive world they're building on Zeta Halo.
i must say, as someone who was disappointed in halo 4 and 5 , 343 really redeemed themselves with this halo, it’s soooooo goood and feels like halo again. thank you 343 for listening
Halo honestly wasn’t that bad. I loved Halo 4’s ending cutscene. With both cortana and lasky
@@kingdinamo2076 i felt way more emotional with halo 4s ending than infinite
@@K_End i know right? infinite just feels like something’s missing, cant put my finger on it
Halo 4 was good, Halo 5 I understand 👍🏻
@@arlanc8215 Honestly for me this ending while emotional really left a huge empty void in me. More than likely due to the fact that Cortana is basically killed off-screen (like they had this happen literally during the six month gap while Chief was still drifting in space), and that this goodbye is basically a pre-recorded message, it's not even a real time hologram conversation just another "echo". It also doesn't help that when she did sacrifice herself that again Chief wasn't there in real time to see it (another reason why I dislike the off-screen death), so as things stand Chief's last physical encounter with Cortana is the shitty betrayal scene in Halo 5.
But even with all that said, it looks like she's dead this time permanently and I hope it stays that way so 343 don't ruin her like they did in Halo 5. Should've left her death in Halo 4 alone.
I cried like a River, i couldn't stand Cortana's death, not after so many years
Anyone notice the subtle heartbeat of chiefs heart when cortana passes through him 3:17🥺
The way she asks, “Are you alright?” Is so good
I feel like this cutscene kinda mirrors 343 in a way. "This is not an end, but a chance to make amends, to rectifying mistakes. And it starts here" Infinite really was their last chance to get Halo back on track. And I would say they have more then succeeded. The old 343 and the old era of Halo is gone. We are starting a new. And boy am I excited for it!!!
Love that attitude bro, glad people love this game as much I do, halos back !!! catch you on the battlefield 💯
I feel like this scene was 343 saying "I'm sorry"
@@hermitsunite953 they don't need to say sorry for Halo 5, so I don't like this take.
If that's the case then I'm dying with Halo CE-Halo 3.
Fudge that hit me hard. R.I.P Cortana you're a day 1. I'm excited to play with "Weapon" more.
343 really was scared of how people reacted to cortana
It hurts to say goodbye to her once more..but I’ll say this even though she became evil all is forgiven..It was a honor serving with you RIP cortana
2:20 - 3:20
That isn't just cortana apologising.
I think 343 might be speaking there too
Lol true
Don't let her go. Don't ever let her go
🥺 She should've said his name. She should've said John.
I just realized that the writers were using Cortana to apologize for the convoluted story campaign of Halo Guardians. They sort of wrote her into a corner with that betrayal.
One thing that always impressed me about the Halo series is that they didn’t make AI something alien
They’re like us, they make mistakes because they were made in our image after all.
Whether it was on purpose or not, Cortana’s final moments, her realizations mirror that or the librarian and the forerunners’ journey and their sacrifice, in the place where it all ended, and began…
This was actually 343 apologizing to all the fans for completely destroying the Cortana storyline beyond repair, they had to kill her off and reboot her in universe to keep the character around.
"He's.. gone... gone gone. Like Simmons said back on scary planet?" -an A.I.'s best friend
Cortana’s VA is fucking phenomenal !
You can see the emotion through his armor the way he pulses the muscles this is so intense.
Had me teary eyed ngl but if she said John instead of mc I would've started crying bruh why they gotta fuck that up
Man up and just cry like a bitch like I did
Her first words to John we're "hello master chief, I'm Cortana", now her last words are calling him master chief
@@bbbj14 ya but it just feels really formal lol
As stupid as it seems I feel that Cortana very much may be alive still. Long shot but it mainly goes by what her copy said during the final boss fight. "Something is helping me". Who else other than another AI could actually effectively help her with what she was doing?
I'd hope she stays gone. I just assumed it was leftover instructions created for this very scenario by Cortana, but like you said, who knows?
i hope youre right I want the oh cortona back
Offensive bias maybe
@@obamaprism9876 maybe offensive bias saved her before she died
@@gorgon504 yea hopefully, really don't wanna see her go for good
She called him both John and Master Chief (referring to the top two comments). My question is: What exactly happened with Cortana and her armada of Guardians between Halo 5 and Infinite? Am I missing something? I'm not very familiar with what happened in Halo Wars 2, if that matters
Don’t feel bad I’m confused on what happened to them to. Halo wars 2 makes it more confusing with Anders being brought to a guardian with no explanation on what happens to her.
as far as i know, after she decimated the UNSC she threatened atriox. she then destroyed the brutes homeworld, this infuriated atriox where im assuming, he just absolutely destroyed her faction
This is explained in the campaign, but anyways - she threatened the UNSC and by extension Earth itself, and when they tried to fight back she wiped out all UNSC forces in Sydney, just to make a point. At another point, also explained in campaign btw, she threatened Atriox similarly and when the Brutes refused to stand down she used the Guardians to destroy their entire homeworld, which is why they wanted the ring to be their new home.
@@aksis2133 The question was, where in the fuck guardians are ?
@@aksis2133 I’m sorry but when I was playing the campaign and they mentioned Sydney, my first reaction wasn’t “oh shit” it was, why the fuck is Sydney the HQ of the UNSC, like who decides that the home of the strongest military force humankind ever built would be in Australia, I always thought it’d be in Switzerland or Hungary, since that’s were the first settlers were from. Is there any lore that expands on this?
Who the fuck thought it was okay for a Halo game to make me cry?
Halo 3? Reach? 4?
I understand a lot of people were very unsatisfied with this ending, but I find it to be one of the best endings in all of Halo, if not the best.
343 has started a trend where they are exploring how Chief is a human under all that armor, all that bravado, and all that badassery. Cortana throughout all the Halo games has been John's reminder of his humanity. It's beautifully ironic to me how he's finally got a good grasp of that once she's finally gone.
John knows that with his talents as a soldier he has the ability to change the course of all of humanity. However, this led to John believing that all the "failures" he has experienced was his fault. It's his fault for Samuel's death. It's his fault for humanity losing. And it's his fault Cortana is gone. Him coming to terms with her death and accepting this new AI has indicated to me that he's no longer blaming himself when things don't always turn out great. He's not a machine. He's not some god. He's just human.
This story and theme is something I believe 343 is capable of telling. Yes I'm sad Cortana is gone and yes the story could have been better. But I choose to trust 343 and the new adventures they will take us on. All ends are beginnings ~
I really like how in this game they explore his humanity and not just taking on entire armies with little to no character development. His character becomes more relatable with us normal people, the feeling of guilt and depression, regret. Really great work from 343 on this campaign.
i think with the Fall Of Reach releasing when Halo 5 came out, they wanted to show Chief’s emotional turmoil for others during his childhood before it was burned away by training. To emphasize he was a human, with emotions, who makes mistakes, etc. I think the recontextualization that in the Bungie games that Chief was essentially a husk of a human until the end of 2 when he left Cortana behind is a GREAT idea. That in 3, the first crack of humanity coming back is shown when he befriends Arbiter and comes back for Cortana. Halo 4 had some flaws, mainly with The Didact, Del Rio and how you needed the lore books and ten goddamn chapters of Spartan Ops to fully ‘get’ the story, but behind all that it’s actually really good. 5 is, well 5, lmao.
Yeah yeah that's great... or... and hear me out on this.
Chief wakes up on the abandoned UNSC ship, Cortana brings him out of Cryo sleep because they were getting boarded by Insurrectionists. Halo 4,5 and Infinite? Horrible nightmare of possibilities infused PTSD. The UNSC is being threatened by Insurrectionists that only want to destroy the Earth and everything the UNSC stands for but NOT to kill any colonies just trying to survive, Spartan 4s have mostly been rendered as just fancy special forces and some even joining the Insurrectionists as popular unrest continues to spread throughout UNSC controlled territory.
Honestly this scene is intense, definitely relate to chief more than anyone than ever, lost my own Cortana not too long ago 😞, but I'm sure it won't be too long until I find my "weapon " and Fernando ❤️💯
He cried, because we cried. He’s US under there. All of us. Together.
No matter how we tear each other apart in multiplayer, we are together as a singular community playing story.
We exist…and persist, together…ongoing.
All of us to one suit of armor.
Many corpses for one grave.
And despite the grief, knowing that we share it…I’m proud to be here for it with all of you.
Thank you.
I really liked this story but this ending man...
So many unanswered questions like where's Lasky? Where's the Infinity? Blue Team? Team Osiris? Also not sure how I feel about Chief just being okay with the Weapon taking Cortana's name.
Cortana was trapped on the Halo and Atriox had almost full control of it, also Cortana thought that Chief was dead at the time so the only way that she could try to stop the Banished from fully controlling the ring from her entrapment was to sacrifice herself and destroy the ring so that it would be useless. She left this message for the chance that Chief was still alive because she knows how "lucky" he is.
Bro list to the data longs🤣most of ur answers are there
@@alvarocamacho3232 I did listen to a lot of them, they still should've had some cutscenes tho in the story, but they're missing.
Yeah part of the problem of Infinite's story (at least to me) is that they relegated too much information on previous storylines in other games and characters other people cared about to audio logs, flashbacks and dialogue. Makes it really not feel as much like a follow up to Halo 5 as it should be in my opinion. I get people hate that game but I think they should've done more at least where the actual cutscenes are concerned.
I very highly doubt Chief would be okay with Weapon taking Cortana's name and that'd be one of the worst decisions 343 could make with this character. I just took the scene as her asking Chief and wanting reassurance from him that it is okay to name herself. But at the same time it makes me worried that might be the case since she literally doesn't even say what it is. Guess we'll have to wait for the eventual DLC/other campaigns for confirmation. 😕
I actually loved this games plot and writing its to bad though that the game got disrespected by so many people that mostly play this just for its multiplayer
Well multiplayer is core to Halo and they fucked it up
You can't blame them
Awww Chief you already lost so much 😔
It's funny tho it's like she's like saying look at our girl John when she says so much potential like she's a mother
Definitely forgive 343i, you can tell the time they invested into this game and to make a great storyline. I didn’t like halo 5’a campaign, but I did like Halo 4’s and Halo Infinite’s is superb. They did a great job.
It's a good thing we were wearing helmets...
Amen to that
Man! Trying to save a friend is one thing, but what hurts even more well i dont even want to go there
True.
1st is the worst, 2nd is the best.
The weapon feels like not Cortana. I cannot accept this
In spite of it's flaws, Halo Infinite will always have a special place in my heart.
Having lost my girlfriend to suicide, I can entirely relate to Master Chief's sorrow upon losing Cortana. His emotions affects him as much as my own. The writer did such an excellent job at fleshing out Chief's coping with his loss, not sugarcoating it in the least. Sometimes I can't help but feel like I could've done something to help my beloved.
Sorry about your loss man.
Master Chief..? It should've been John.
Their relationship was broken, she betrayed him. It’d hurt him more for her to call him John.
She changed to her first look for this final message….😭😭😭
Master chief and cortana greatest love story ever maded I love halo alot all ways make me cry from 4 ending and infinite cortana last words maded me cry like a baby
I wish there was a way to bring back Cortana & keep the weapon as well.🥺
Damn I know she was dead or so I had the feeling, and we were told she was. But this just gets me in my feelings. Now I just feel sad.
This seen made my hair stand up. Very emotional, maybe the most in halo history.
I am an alcoholic in recovery and I am working on doing my 9th step amends to my loved ones. Thank you Halo, you helped me, you really did.
Who else felt like 343 was apologizing to us through Cortana?
Damnit where are all these cut onions dropping from???
I will always cry at this scene. I will never understand the path they were trying to take in 4 and 5 and why they took her from me. This new bot is cute but a constant reminder of what was beautiful and great before.
To be fair, Cortana was initially supposed to betray John in the very first Halo game. They probably found a way to tie that in to Cortana's rampancy, fall from grace and eventual redemption.
I think if they put a version of "keep what you steal" over this scene it would've taken it to the next level
I love how she looks like she did in halo ce
This is so good i just wish we got to see what led to this i stead of hearing about it
We must protect The Chief at all costs!
It was an honor fighting side by side with you cortana we all of us didn't make a girl a promise we knew we couldn't keep rip cortana
This feels exactly like church’s speech. I’m so happy that halo is back!
This video hits me hard in the feels, especially with the current state of my life tbh , lost my own Cortana not too long ago 😢
the double meanings in the dialogs lol, they get heavier and sound different and their meanings also sound different the longer time passes.
like 343 saying sorry or maybe secretly pointing fingers as to who are what and why and how. they did all they can with the cards that's been dealt to them. it's all strange, idk if it's intentional or I'm just sipping too much copium
It didn't comprehend this until I rewatched it.
2:14 is basically 343 trying to simp to Halo fans, admitting they screwed up with Halo. Or maybe I'm reading too much into this.
It’s sad that the original Cortana with all her memories with John is gone man, still hoping we could somehow see her come back tbh :(
Same, Im still hoping she comes back somehow
Well it wouldn't be the first time.
I really don't want a fresh start with the new Cortana. Growing up with the old Cortana. I just want to go back to a time when life was good, before 2020 or even before Halo 4.
And 4th is just there
Poor Cortana...she really got done dirty. I don't even mind her emotional story in 4, despite 4 being meh...
So 343 actually went through with it and definitively killed Cortana. I have got to hand it to them, I thought they would pull some deus ex rescue mission and she would somehow come back to “life” in her pre-Halo 5 self, but alas, here we are. It’s kind of sad, end of an era. I know the Weapon will be taking the Cortana name, but it still won’t be the same.
Also, time travel is in Halo now? That’s an odd choice…but I’m open minded.
Well it might not be time travel but rather time dilation. Big difference. As for Cortana, who knows honestly??? We thought this in Halo 4 and she didn't actually die.
I'm stubborn in the old Halo games... I can't get used to the new Cortana.
3rd is the one with the treasure chest 🙌
Wow. Basically leaving your corrupted girlfriend for her younger sister. Harsh.
More like her kid. Isn’t The Weapon a copy of Cortana she made, but lacked the memories
@@HIPEOPLE1887 cortana didn't make the weapon, Halsey did
@@HIPEOPLE1887 wrong
Essentially yeah. That's what the Weapon truly is: not really a copy, but more like a younger sister. She's her own AI. A copy of Cortana (which we've seen in the book Halo: First Strike) is different and copied directly from Cortana herself. Halsey replicated the process that had initially created Cortana to essentially create a new Cortana which she could do because Cortana was created from a clone of her own brain. Anyone's else's brain and never could've pulled that one off.
Finished on legendary. Shit was tough.
Oh man, if the ending of the Escharum fight and this scene couldn't tie together the saying of "the enemy of my enemy, is my friend" I don't know what could. It's so crazy that Cortana is really deleted though. I don't even know what emotion to give knowing that. What I want to know though, is where the covenant went. And where the Arbiter went as I don't think he ever died, just "left" at the end of reach or 4?? There's so many unanswered questions so I am REALLY hoping they do campaign expansion DLCs like with Halo Wars 2 and don't just let us sit on multiplayer updates for the next decade. After all they did say they were done with standalone titles and only focusing on this game for a while so I'm almost 100% certain they're doing campaign expansions instead of releasing numerous halo games which makes sense in a way. No sense in wasting an already developed world that you're going to continue a story line on anyways. So excited for the future of this game honestly and will be the one and only game I ever buy expansion DLCs for.
Don’t quote me on this but the covenant slowly over time kept losing more and more power after 3 and I’m not even sure if they exist anymore. Arbiter was at the end of 5 and was in 5 a tiny bit
The covenant has a few planets left but not much according to some of the lines in Infinite, but Arbiter was in 5 and was leading the Sangheli now I believe, as he 'helped' Locke in H5
Where the Arbiter went was explained in the end of Halo 3, expanded upon in Halo 5
Watching this hurt ngl
i'm not crying... i have onions, it's raining indoors and i just have allergies.
SHUT UP
Condemned life taxes
Master Chief X Cortana (The OG Cortana)
ok, now i will use cortana as my virtual assistant..
Not going punch my self head
343 really outdid themselves
All good things must come to an end. Just like how after 20 years they finally finished Ash Ketchums journey in Pokémon and they started a new generation with new protagonists, they sort of did the same here. I’m guessing they will eventually kill off chief in a heroic manner to “start” the franchise fresh again for the newer generation of players. If after 20 years Pokémon can do it, so can 343. How it will be received is another matter entirely.
Like Mendicant Bias…
I want the og Cortona back I appreciate they gave us another Cortona but its not the same man she helped us through 4 games I cant give up my hopes of getting her back yet 343 make it happen we want the real Cortona back
This comment right here 👏 🔥
@@RandyDeath um is that sarcasm or you for real agree with me
@@termnator87 No I'm glad someone thought the same idea as I did :)
Tbf, I will absolutely miss Cortana as well, but the death of an old character is how you make room for the new stories. I miss Johnson too, but when his time came, he went out with a bang. We have to treat Cortana's death the same way we treat death irl. We mourn her character and then we move on.
We should be happy that we still get to keep the voice of Jen Taylor through it all.
@@majorevangelism I disagree this is a game wich means defintly dont treat it as real life and I will not treat deaths as so while they hurt almost as if they were real I know game can bring back things
the first time i saw this seen i cry because Cortana was my video game girlfriend

While this ending is good, I think she could have got a much better one or deserved a much better one being an iconic character. There are even multiple options.
1. On screen death, she shows up (She saves chief from harbinger, although this would be the same as 4, however damaged "mortally", beyond repair), saying the same things and she could have quoted Johnson here to make it different, referring to Weapon. After Cortana says Now it's up to you, Chief is still blaming himself for failing her, but Cortana replies: "It is not your fault, You never let me go John, (Cortana looks at Weapon) never let her go.", then disintegrates towards the chief.
2. She shows up, saves the chief from Harbinger and is forced to be deleted by chief later. She asks him and convinces him to do that, at the same time talking to Weapon as well. That would be indeed even more sad to witness.
3. This one is a little bit extreme, but the UNSC discovers a way to make a human body for her, the AI equivalent dies, and Cortana - with no memory - starts a new life as a real human, which if I understand correctly was her wish in the previous games. Chief does not communicate with her, lets her go out to the world, as the sun shines on her, feeling warmth.
I think all of these 3 endings would be better and wouldn't feel rushed.
I feel like all these kinda miss the point, it's too starting anew. Not remaining with what we have. Cortana being gone already makes you feel what Chief feels, the emptiness of not being able to save her, like he says at one point during the game to Weapon. having her be alive would feel like 343 trying to hold on to the previous stories when "this isn't an end, it's a chance to make amends. to rectify mistakes."
@@22slice I agree. And Ending 1 and 2 are just about losing her, and at some point ending 3 as well. Imagine if she became human with zero memories and chief simply watching her go out of the world on Earth. (He is not allowed to interact with her). The point of mine is that she deserved a much better (impactful) send off while at the same time not being able to save her. Imagine if Darth Vader was sent off similarly to how Cortana was, ROTJ wouldn't be the same at all. Here it felt like, "Oh we made a mistake in 5, we now just toss her away", I am not saying it is a bad effort, but this is a character known for 20 years?
People keep forgetting 343’s devs is still Bungie. They are the only Bungie devs that stayed true to the franchise while the rest of Bungie left to join Activision and ruin Destiny
What a load of bullshit.
343 talking to it's players
I just can't shake Sgt. Major Johnson's warning though. "Don't you ever let her go!"
343 just forgot about him and his warning to Chief. They could have done something in Infinite to save the old Cortana but na... I'm too stubborn in the old games. All these fancy shmancy Halo games nowadays...
