Halo Wars legendary has an extra ending ?

There's no video, but after the credits you hear Serina go:

"Captain, wake up, we have a problem."

Well by the books, there are still around 7-9 Spartans still alive.

 

my idea before was that MC meets the 3 spartans from the spirit of fire. meh just a guess. 

There are 10 spartans on the SoF.  Mission 5:arcadia outskirts.  you can't forget omega group.

Born KIA:

If you r on about the halo 1 ending master cheif takes over a coverant ship to get back to earth

it explains it all in the series of halo books which have come out but they r done by different authors

Halo: The Fall of Reach by Eric Nylund

Halo: The Flood by William C. Dietz (halo 1)

Halo: First Strike by Eric Nylund

and in the books it says that A.I.s only last for about 7 years

however, bungie may have change the story  

You son of a miscarriage.

 

You did this on purpose, didn't you?

Necroing a dead thread with the name as "born KIA", foreshadowing your ultimate death in flames.

That was a little unnecesarry, mainly because I noticed a very rare thing in this thread:

Reasonable discussion without trolls, flaming and people who know nothing about canon.

Only 4 of the people who posted before the necro are Shadow Titan, Felix, Vigil, and me.

 

We could restart the discussion, but you really have to wonder how someone could dig up a thread like this a few pages back from the front.

Azn ninja:OMG OMG OMG what if they show what really happens in HAlO 3 RECON?!?!?!?!?!? that would be so tight.

Halo 3: Recon?

*snorts a laughter*

 ---------------------------

I'll do my best and edit in an on-topic post ASAP.

-------------------------------

On-Topic: My guess is that Serina located somekind of Forerunner artifact.

I don't think it could be the Halo 3 planet because that one was blue, and this one was orange.

BUT

I read in one of the Halo books [possibly Onyx], that the Covenant glassed some kind of star/sun thing, and it turned plasma blue, just like the planet at the end of Halo 3.

I know there are some problems, but I let that one slide because it was so funny....

It wont be possible because Halo Wars is set 20 years before Halo: CE remember?

Jake2907:

Cortana, can no longer go rampant.

The stages the AI pass through are known as Melancholia, Anger, and Jealousy, also known as the Sadness, Rage, and Greed stages. A theoretical fourth stage, metastability, is also believed to exist.

In halo 3 on the second last level, she was in the 3rd stage of rampancy - Jealosy

When Master cheif rescues cortana at the end of Halo cortana enters the fourth stage:

 Metastability

Metastability is a theoretical fourth stage of rampancy, where an AI can finally be said to be a true "person". While a metastable AI can be considered to be the holy grail of cybernetics research, there is no evidence to suggest than any rampant AI has ever achieved the metastable state, or that it is even possible to do so (with the exceptions of Cortana and Mendicant Bias).

So you see, Cortana can't go rampant because she already did, and reached the fourth and final stage

actually it is believed (although not confirmed) that gravemind was the one sending the chief all of those messages. Remember that the gravemind is incredibly persuasive and he knows that the chief's weak spot is cortana, so he tried to make the chief believe that cortana was already beyond saving. The chief ignored the messages and saved cortana, who is persuaded by the gravemind that she was rampant, and thats where the cutscene where chief takes her comes in. Go to http://blog.ascendantjustice.com/halo-3/hindsight-halo-3/cortana/ it talks about the level, cortana. the entire page is very interesting, but if you want to just read the part i'm talking about, go towards the end. Start at the text under the picture of the chief, cortana, and the index and read from there.

Gravemind really couldn't control terminals on the ark until after he got there.

I've been perma-banned at bungie.net :(

and what about the terminals? its been a while since i've read them.

Spartan B28:

and what about the terminals? its been a while since i've read them.

The terminals on Heroic and below are about a conversation between Didact and the Librarian, the last one is a message from MB to the chief.

 

On legendary, they are all Offensive Bias' diary about his fight against MB.

yeah, i'm well aware of what the terminals talk about, but what does that have to do with whether cortana was rampant or not?

The terminals have nothing to do with Cortana.
