49:40 these a basically holding capacity chambers made to contain species wich were abord ships to be sent across the galaxy to bring back life after the Halo array was first fired

Also the info on how the Infinite, Atriox, Banished, and the Master Chief came to Zata Halo is little confusing and sadly they don't explain to well in the game how the this all came together so you might have to watch a lore video on what happened between halo 5 and halo Infinite

1:01:19 Cortana was specifically created as an intrusion software and to serve as companion for a Spartan in the battlefield. Cortana had the chance to choose whichever Spartan she wanted and she chose Chief. 1:01:38 Not at all, Cortana is 100% a human creation. When you saw her on Reach in a cutscene, she was just helping Halsey to mine data from the Forerunner artifact. 1:02:05 Cortana was created in the 2549 and the events of Halo CE are placed in 2552 so at that point they’ve known each other for 3 years or so. 1:02:17 While Chief and Cortana are on board of a ship, she is more useful in the ship than in Chief’s armor, that’s why. 1:02:22 Chief was sleeping bc the Pillar of Autumn entered Slipspace. Most people don’t understand how it works so I’ll try to explain it simple: Slipspace is a “short cut” in the space but the jump is not instantaneous meaning that the farther is your destiny, the more time you will remain inside the Slipspace. To put an example, in Halo 3 when you entered the portal that connected Earth with the Ark, it took them a little more than 3 weeks inside the Slipspace to arrive to the Ark so, to save resources like oxygen, water, food, etc. the crew is put into cryo sleep.

The banished with Cortana conquered most of the UNSC. Weapon was sent to return Cortana to the infinity, but… Chief was defeated by Atriox, and left to float in space forever. The goal of the game is to defeat the banished, find out what happened with Cortana, and learn about the Weapon. When you start on the open world, the best way to have better weapons, vehicles, soldiers, and additional upgrades is to find all Spartan cores, free captured soldiers, capture FOBs (forward operating bases), destroy propaganda towers, and defeat various banished fighters. There is no fall damage unless you fall off the map. Grappling is faster than falling and sprinting. When you can grapple to something, the sight changes color. Use your scan button often to find weapons, action items, logs, hints to open doors, etc. For fewer deaths, prioritize upgrading shields first. If you grapple then melee, it will kill most grunts and other low end enemies. The shock grenades freezes the enemy and drains shields and health nicely. The enemy is an easy target for a few seconds.

1:01:20 Hey glad you're having fun with Infinite. I'll clear up the cortana reach thing up The fall of reach - created October 30 2001 Halo CE - Nov 15 2001 Halo The fall of reach book is actually older than Halo 1 The scene you see in infinite is actually the first time they meet its straight from the book. But as you noticed Cortana was on reach and to be delivered to the pillar of autumn to The Masterchief. So what is happening? The cortana that chief meets and the cortana on reach are the same AI but just split in half. So in Halo 1 they are joined together and its all still the same Cortana. It seems too that the origin of Cortana is confusing to you as well ill clear that up. Cortana is a smart AI made from a clone of Dr.Halsey (they made a clone and killed it to harvest for the AI creation yucky). Also the forerunner stuff on reach you mentioned at some point heres what was happening. As you know Cortana isn't of forerunner creation she is human creation(and by a lot of measures human herself). Dr Halsey and 1 half of Cortana were scanning the Forerunner artifacts under Reach she knew the war wasnt going well and was coming to a close. She wanted to gleam anything from the forerunners to turn the tide. This is actually how the pillar of autumn found the first Halo ring when cortana jumped the pillar of autumn away from Reach she put in the random coordinates she got from the artifact( And a stone recovered by the Spartan teams and others www.halopedia.org/Battle_of_Sigma_Octanus_IV ). I guess since im on a rant i can maybe explain some other stuff. The infinity as you know is a crazy ship but was overrun from the intro cinematic so how does that happen? well the infinity was really understaffed at this point and already in a bad position because of Halo 5 and cortana. So being in close proximity to the banished( I think they ambushed the infinity?) it was tactically good but they got pretty lucky she wasn't fully staffed 7000 people during infinite vs its 18000 peak staff load. And to finish off Halo infinite plays out is narrative over the whole game so you slowly piece together what happened in the 6 months chief was out so don't be super confused when they talk about some event that happened it will probably be explained.

Also i forgot to add the reach canon thing the fall of reach and halo reach are both canon Halo reach just kinda broke a lot of shit in the book but it was eventually patched up but they are both still canon. Like in the fall of reach you follow masterchief instead of Noble but it just messes with a lot of things like halsey and cortana being their for example but eventually it was fixed.
