Which is funny because if you look at Bungie interviews their original intent was for the player to put themselves in chiefs shoes and believe they were the ones plugging in cortana or saying badass one liners with Johnson, that’s why people don’t like it.

One thing I love is the almost daughter father dynamic that the weapon and chief have. The weapon was brought into a crazy world that chief lives and had to learn how he works and how all this happens. She really grows even with her child like personality. And I feel like the ending was Cortana almost recognizing that she would be a better version of her. Saying that they had to learn from her as she walked away for the final time. Truly gone forever. Almost like the weapon is Cortana's daughter too. Her successor as she passes the torch to her. It was a really beautiful moment for both Cortana owning up to her mistakes and chief realizing that he does have to protect this child, the weapon with everything he has to make sure that she doesn't go rogue like Cortana. Beautiful emotion. And just a masterpiece, truly among the original trilogy in terms of story.

[@JimmyCarter.]

If only this statement were actually true.. lol.

[@WarGrowlmon18]

The Weapon isn't even really a true copy either: if that were the case, she would've been copied directly from Cortana herself. She's her own AI created by Halsey replicating the process that had originally created Cortana. THAT'S why she needed those cryobins in Shadows of Reach: they must've contained Halsey's remaining cloned brains from creating Cortana. She would've needed that in order to create the Weapon.

This game was clearly a way to reset the story in a better direction. Halo 4 actually had a good story, Halo 5's story was trash. 343 definitely recognized that 5 put the story in a bad spot and decided in Infinite to tie up (some) of the loose ends from 5. Leaves some questions open though--maybe these were answered by books and comics. First question is: where did the guardians go? Second question is: what happened to all of the AI? Third question is: So, what about the prometheans, are they just not going to be a faction anymore? Also, this wasn't clear to me, though maybe it was to others, why would Atriox want control of the ring? I get that it has secrets but did he want to fire it? I thought that would kill all life? I caveat this by saying I haven't been into the Halo lore for several years since adulting took over.

[@OyasumiBlerd]

I think Atriox wanted to have the most powerful weapon ever known in his power but when Cortana destroyed his planet, it probably became even more about life actually. A lot of Brutes in the game talk about how much they miss their home planet. The only way to get their home planet back is to time travel. That is exactly what the Endless are capable of.

[@theelite1234]

He wants to fire the ring near Earth, probably that is his main reason

[@RapidFyrez]

Halo is the ultimate Superweapon, and Zeta Halo has the Endless who have an odd connection to time. Atriox could use them to restore his home and then use the Halo to basically point a gun at the head of the universe.

[@Sigma-0007_Septem]

Zeta Halo is special in more ways than one. One of these ways is that it is the last ring from the original 12 ring array . These Rings were larger (30km in diameter) and could not only fire omnidirectionally but also in a beam pattern(point and shoot) So with Zeta one could choose what to kill. And that is the least interesting thing about this ring. It has a much deeper history

I somehow feel like I’ve played Halo 7. The story was great and well put together but it just felt like we’ve missed much of the story(yes its explained in-game via the logs and short videos). Halo 4 and 5 had its flaws but in my opinion the story was quite good, also they ended 5 with a cliffhanger of being the biggest enemy for the universe etc, and now starting in 6, Cortana is already dead,just felt like that book closed to quick for me. Just wish we could have played from 5 onwards. Nevertheless, well done to the team, it feels like a great game, well put together with amazing gameplay and a well put together story, just feels like 7 to me 😄

[@Bigbodybigbeefybody]

No, id rather not know anything more about 5 or expand on that dogshit game and its "story". Its a soft reboot that seperates itself from 5 and I'll take it.

[@juliusjacob1416]

I understand why they did that. People were so harsh on them for making Cortana evil (I didn’t like it like most people) 343 probably wanted to skip that whole part as soon as possible. That’s why they didn’t make a game where you had to fight an evil Cortana and gave her a ‘warm’ goodbye in Infinite. Good decision imo.

Bringing back Cortana at all, let alone making her a villain, was a mistake. Halo 4’s send off for her was beautiful. What they did in this game was try to course correct, and fix those mistakes. *Edit: While I understand this game comes across as a little weird, and rushed at times due to the course correction, I'm hopeful that in the long run it gets the story back on track. Though I still want them to follow up on stuff like the Flood, the Forerunners, and our boy the Didact. 343 cannot just let such an interesting villain's story end in a damn tie-in comic.

[@Void-gn9zm]

Cannot wait to finally smash Atriox’s face in… It was a very emotional campaign for me. Cortana wasn’t just am AI to me, to Chief. She was our friend… without her none of what we have accomplished playing as Master Chief would be possible. Nor without the Chief of course. I started this campaign with Halo Combat Evolved on PC. I was only a kid, maybe 12 or 13. I am 29 now. She meant a lot. Seeing go was hard. But sacrafices must be made for the greater good of humanity. John understood that very well.

[@Phoenix-214]

I got my start with the PC port of Halo CE, too. Nothing quite hits as hard as watching her die in 4, but her goodbye here was a worthwhile sendoff to the last traces of her character, and it does a beautiful job of passing the torch to the Weapon.

[@jakeetter2822]

I got one more idea of an extra level. It's actually set up as campaign forge. The master Chief captured and reprogrammed a special monitor. It is placed at a special human controlled outpost. It's mission is to set up the base for a plausable attack from the banished or so forth. There would even be a place where you choose the attacking enemy. From the banished, to the flood, the eternals, or invent your own faction. Like chief master (evil master Chief counterpart) leader of the csnu. Zombie Spartans (from the infection games). King Forkey, leader of the living forklifts. Or giant living dolls. Or gun shooting blocks (that you can change their shape in forge).
