I'll take a wild guess and say the Endless in Halo will end up similar to the Vex from Destiny.

I think it's more likely that he was cut, than that there's currently an expansion with him in the works.

That said, I'm not opposed to this idea.

I've been meaning to ask this too. I actually liked Osiris, so it makes me wonder if they will return as a whole group at some point. Remember this Halo is essentially like mobile games: no new games, just expansions one after the other for at least a decade or so. 

Honestly, Vale was really the only character from that squad I found interesting. Locke SHOULD have been interesting, as an ONI hitman of sorts...but he wasn't. I barely even remember Tanaka, and Buck was just...well, Nathan Fillion, which is amusing, but ultimately the same as everywhere else you'll ever see him.

Considering how we all loved Cortana from 1-4. They really killed her character in 5. Just makes me cringe thinking about 5's story. The alien worlds and weapons were cool but rest. Arrrgg. Watching some of the old memories and even the look they gave her in 5. I was like get me outta here.

Yea am in the camp they should not call the new one Cortana.

P.S. Windows Cortana am not talking about you, am talking about Halo 5 one, kk. Don't turn on me. Peace.

Yea, I would prefer her not calling herself Cortana. Not only for the reasons Ryu highlighted, but also...after everything The Weapon saw in Infinite...why would she WANT to call herself Cortana? Seeing Cortana devastate Earth, killing all those Spartans, destroying the entire Brute homeworld...The Weapon was horrified by all that, and ultimately asked Chief to delete her, because she was so afraid of becoming that. Then an hour later she wants to take Cortana's name?

That was really bizarre to me.

There's a redemption arc to the story. Extreme destruction and self sacrifice (for the right reasons). Wanting to yet be called Cortana, signifies that beings can change for the better, especially when given second chances.

It's also pointing out not to rush to judgement. Something both the Weapon and Chief have to struggle with and learn to overcome. There's a time and place when immediate decisions and action must take place, but those times are more rare.

If she's going to remain unique instead of showing at least some of the good or harmless traits of original Cortana, then I'd personally rather have a different name as well, but it would be totally understandable if 343 sticks with Cortana.

It's kinda like the 360 RROD poster everyone was discussing. Most seem to think the poster is either highly negative, or highly positive.

Highly positive because MS is acknowledging their past faults, now that they've somewhat redeemed themselves with the XB Series ecosystem.

Highly negative because they admittedly caused gamers major headache/heartache, and are now charging them to remind them of that.

Is either completely right or wrong?

Cortana acknowledges she screwed up even if it took locking her down and forcing her to reflect. She realizes what she can do to try and right those wrongs to the degree she has the power to at that point in time. With little time, she even leaves an explanation for Chief and Cortana 2.0 to make sure they learn from her mistakes. Then she does the right thing even though it will cost her own existence, yet she could've just gone down in flames.

Cortana 2.0 realizes this and while she obviously understands the atrocities committed, she also see's that she's not doomed to become a crazy authoritarian psychopath. Cortana 2.0 now understands what not to do from the past, and to make sure she and Chief remain a team, if not as one.

I'm not saying everybody is supposed to think to themselves that Cortana was always great and the redemption automatically erases the horror. It's for people to realize that sometimes, seemingly bad people, can be mistaken, and sometimes they can change for the better.

Infinite is full or real life lessons. Don't automatically shoot first and ask questions later. Don't automatically assume everyone who seems to have turned to "the dark side", actually has completely, and that they can't change for the better. Etc.

I'm actually quite happy we got pretty much nothing from old/returning characters. In a way, we sort of got the solo Chief game, dealing with the loss of Cortana that Halo 5 always should have been. Throwing trusted characters in for him to mingle with or whatever woulda just taken away from that vibe.

I finished it the other day. Gave the game an 85 / 100. Not as good as Halo 4 or 2, especially on the story front. Wasn't a bad story, just is going in directions I don't want. I like The Weapon as a character, I just wish the original Cortana wasn't dead. After 4 I really wanted Chief and her to be able to ride off into the sunset, but instead the good Cortana died, a part of her lived to become crazy evil, and now we are back with a child-like Cortana who doesn't have that same romantic connection to the Chief. There was a movie I watched years ago where a guy and girl were in love until an accident happened and they split up due to memory loss.

Just researched it, called the Vow. Was so depressing watching most of it, also just read the real life couple that inspired it got divorced after 25 years. So depressing. Anyway, Halo Infinite having a Cortana present that doesn't love the Chief is rubbing salt in the wound of romantics like me and just makes the game depressing. The one dude getting emotional and having melt downs didn't help either.
