: But, as you point out, why I think it's hilarious people think Cortana has

: complete jerks... they're pretty much right. All the characters we have
: played in the games, with the exception of the Arbiter, are I think good
: soldiers and good people, but they're in the service of a pretty monstrous
: organ of iniquity. Cortana agreeing with their ends but disagreeing with
: their fallible, human way of handling it (not to mention tying into her
: "mother's" longstanding belief about humanity spiraling out of
: control) makes a whole lot of sense to me.
It might be cool if 343 went down the whole Mass Effect route and let us choose to play as Chief or Cortana and let us choose the fate of the haloverse. Do you want a green, blue, or red ending?
OTOH we know how that turned out - the ME3 Bioware social forums were a cesspit of rage and unhappiness after the ME3 ending.
But in all seriousness I'm not sure if I want to fight for the UNSC. Something needs to change in the haloverse. But would the Chief ever side against the UNSC and Halsey? It looks like he has already sided against Cortana.
What would the Arbiter think? What would 343 have him think? He seems less swayed by emotion but would he think like a Klingon in Brian Reed's mind?
