| The spartans view Dr Halsey as a Mother figure, and have a slight preoccupation (in a way) with her, but effectively, Dr Halsey is Cortana's mother, as it was her brain that was used. I;m not getting at annything much, just pointing this out. --[[User:Keyes|Keyes]] 06:20, 1 May 2007 (UTC) | | The spartans view Dr Halsey as a Mother figure, and have a slight preoccupation (in a way) with her, but effectively, Dr Halsey is Cortana's mother, as it was her brain that was used.

| :Yeah. It has also been suggested that she was in the Bungie system and refering to the Disembodied Soul. --<b>[[User:Dragonclaws|<font color="000000">Dragon<font color="FF0000">c</font>laws</font>]]<sup>([[User talk:Dragonclaws|<font color="000000">talk</font>]])</sup></b> 06:28, 1 May 2007 (UTC) | | :Yeah.

| The original Marathon page that these were featured on has some great speculation, but most people aren't going to want to slog through the whole thing. Should we alter this page so that each letter is followed with an "analysis" explaining all the cryptic clues featured?[[User:Tuckerscreator|'''Tuckerscreator''']] 21:25, October 14, 2009 (UTC) | | The original Marathon page that these were featured on has some great speculation, but most people aren't going to want to slog through the whole thing.

| == Cortana the Level ==
| |
|
| |
| I am surprised that this hasn't been mentioned yet, but read the first letter and them read the script of the level Cortana. They both have "I have walked to the edge of the abyss", "I have seen your future and I have learned" and "There will be no more sadness, no more anger, no more envy!"
| |
| I, of course noticed this a long time ago, when I played the level "Cortana" but I noticed it isn't mentioned anywhere... Why is that?
| |
| I don't think I am the only one to notice.
| |
|
| |
| ... It was always my speculation that she was "writing" the messages and sending them to the past then.

| :Bungie reused certain quotes from the Letters and incorporated it with Halo 3.

| ::Well, yeah. But still there were repeated quotes. --[[User talk:Sangheili Commando 021: Fluffball Gato|Sangheili Commando 021: Fluffball Gato]] 23:09, October 26, 2009 (UTC)

| :::Yes, repeated quotes... but it is still somewhat irrelevant. Bungie will always refer to their precedent games and try to incorporate them into new ones. That's just how Bungie works... it's so obvious.--<font face="century gothic"><font color="red">[[User:-Ascension-|<font color="#666666">Lol</font>]]@[[User talk:-Ascension-|<font color="#666666">Phailure</font>]]</font></font> 23:15, October 26, 2009 (UTC)

| ::::This is different, as the Cortana Letters are about CORTANA, not some other game. --[[User talk:Sangheili Commando 021: Fluffball Gato|Sangheili Commando 021: Fluffball Gato]] 23:26, October 26, 2009 (UTC)

| :::::Actually, the Cortana Letters is a marketing gimmick to promote Halo: Combat Evolved back in 1999, the same with Ilovebees and Halo 2, Iris and Halo 3. Technically, yes it is about Cortana but note that only a few quotes from the letters were later reused in Halo 3.--<font face="century gothic"><font color="red">[[User:-Ascension-|<font color="#666666">Lol</font>]]@[[User talk:-Ascension-|<font color="#666666">Phailure</font>]]</font></font> 23:34, October 26, 2009 (UTC)

| ::::::Yeah, I'd say they picked the best ones. But still, I think that it should be considered somehow related. --[[User talk:Sangheili Commando 021: Fluffball Gato|Sangheili Commando 021: Fluffball Gato]] 23:40, October 26, 2009 (UTC)

| :::::::There ''could'' be, but the fact remains, there none. That's just how Bungie is as well as other game developers.--<font face="century gothic"><font color="red">[[User:-Ascension-|<font color="#666666">Lol</font>]]@[[User talk:-Ascension-|<font color="#666666">Phailure</font>]]</font></font> 23:42, October 26, 2009 (UTC)

| ::::::::But CORTANA repeated the Cortana letters. I think it's more than an Easter Egg. --[[User talk:Sangheili Commando 021: Fluffball Gato|Sangheili Commando 021: Fluffball Gato]] 01:05, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

| :::::::::Did she repeat most of the contents of the Letters? No. Is it a reference? Yes. Is it minor or major reference? A minor reference? So, what does this mean? It's just a reference and not an easter egg. Unless she mentions more than half the contents of the Letters, it stays as a minor reference. Also, you should also know that the quotes Cortana said is more of a reference to T.S. Elliot's Hollow Men poem, which is also a reference but not an easter egg.--<font face="century gothic"><font color="red">[[User:-Ascension-|<font color="#666666">Lol</font>]]@[[User talk:-Ascension-|<font color="#666666">Phailure</font>]]</font></font> 01:14, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

| ::::::::::I think your reasoning is odd. It ''is'' a reference, and that is what I said. I didn't say it was major or minor or anything. But it ''is'' a reference.--[[User talk:Sangheili Commando 021: Fluffball Gato|Sangheili Commando 021: Fluffball Gato]] 03:24, October 27, 2009 (UTC)
